Lightning cable stuck

If your lightning cable is stuck I anything like the pc if u use a thin metal nail filer and u insert it from the bottom side of the cable it will come out

You could put a drop of super glue on the end of a straight screwdriver and bond it to the broken connector. Then pull out slowly. If you get it partially out, you could use tweezers.

  • Lightning cable stuck inside my iPad!

    Like everybody else, i have the same issue with the lightning charger's flimsy end
    breaking off and getting stucked inside the iPad. I am so so disappointed
    with this...
    I didn't know how to go about it
    at first - so I took it to a nearby apple store only to be told that i would have
    to pay $199.99 for a replacement !?!?
    im very disappointed i dont know what else to say

  • Lightning cable loose  - does not stay in phone port- cannot charge

    lightning cable is loose right out of the box - does not stay in phone port - cannot charge it. Any ideas?

    Malcolm may be correct. But maybe something simple is stuck in the port. Take a clean toothpick and gently make sure nothing is blocking.

  • Official lightning cables always breaking.

    I've been an apple user for the last 10 years and I've had my recent Iphone 5 for around a year and a half now. From around the third-sixth month I had the phone, my official lightning cable broke I then ended up spending a huge amount on a few new lightning cables from apple, since then, all the chargers have broke. As well as this, the charge time has seemed to increase month by month. I'm sure that the Iphone is damaging the chargers, as I'm extremely careful when charging.
    I've tried to get phone support/chat support but can't afford the £25 it costs to have a small amount of support, hay... my phone only cost £600, why would I get phone support included in that? As well as this, I've tried many times to post questions to the apple community and have revived the message 'You are not allowed to create or update this content' I'm unsure that I will be able to post this, but Its worth a try ay?
    I'm very disappointed in the apple support so far, as its the main reason I bought the phone in the first place (I've always known apple being top dogs on support issues). I feel like I have an Iphone but am not part of apples customers because I have not been treated right as of yet. three years ago I would have recommended apple to anyone because of how I'm treated as a customer, but now I'd avoid at all costs and will not being using apple products in the future.
    My nearest apple store is around an hours drive away, and I do not have a car... So at the moment I'm stuck using an Iphone thats costing me £10 a month in chargers. Being a uni student, this has taken a big unexpected cut from the little earning I can get from part time work.
    I'll end the rant now, But I'd just like to get some info on how I can fix my chargers or phone to stop it from damaging them. Also I'd like to hear others views on apple support over the past year or so (Because I feel as though apple want nothing to do with me as a user).
    Thanks for reading and for any replies!

    As well as this, the charge time has seemed to increase month by month.
    Did you check if your battery is eligible to be replaced by Apple?

  • Lightning cable got really hot. Can it ruin my iPod Touch?

    Hello, yesterday I connected my iPod Touch and the lightning cable got really really hot and I was so scared... It's not in a perfect state and there are no apple stores in my city... Sooo until I can buy a new cable I want to know if it's dangerous to keep using the lightning cable I have.
    Something else... When I used to connect my iPod to my laptop (Windows 7) I could acces the photos like I could acces the data from a external drive or a flash memory (just for the photos) but now I can't. What's wrong with it?
    ps. Sorry if my english isn't perfect, it isn't my first language.

    I would stop using it until you can get a replacement. There's no way of knowing if it's really bad or not, but if it damages your device you may be stuck.
    It's possible that you photo access issue is part of the cord not working right so I'd wait and see if the issue persists after you get a new cable.

  • Why can't my Macbook Pro connect to iPhone 5 in any way (lightning cable, Wi-Fi)?

    I have a Macbook Pro, I bought it in June or July or 2011, so I'm not sure which model that makes it. But anyway, just recently, I noticed that when I plug my iPhone 5 into it, it does not recognize or acknowledge that my phone is plugged in at all. It doesn't show up in iTunes, or anywhere else for that matter. I've also noticed that with the lightning cable, it will only charge my phone on one side. I've tried plugging my cable into both usb ports, but still, the lightning cable only works on one side. I tried another cable, same thing, but when I plug both of them into my wall charger, both sides work fine.
    So after my Macbook didn't recognize the phone through the cable, I just thought "eh, whatever, I'll wirelessly sync it." So I go to the settings on my phone, go to iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and it says "Sync will resume when "Austin *****'s MacBook Pro is available." but no matter what I do, the computer never becomes available. I've considered that it might be the phone that's the problem, because I don't have another computer to test it on, but I don't see how it could as I just got this iPhone 5 just over a month ago, and it has not been dropped, or gotten water on it or anything. If anyone can help that would be amazing, as the employees at the Apple Store like to always tell me I have to buy something new, and that isn't an option right now.

    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Can I use my standard car charger i got for iphone 4 with iPhone 5? if I just plug in the usb to lightning cable or will it damage the new iphone?

    The charger takes a usb cable, so I figure I could just plug in my usb to lightning cable and charge using my Saitek charger.  Does anyone know if this works?

    Did you get this to work?  Mine did not work when I plugged it into my at&t iphone car charger usb port.

  • HT1386 My device is not seen in iTunes with the lightning cable that came with the iPad air.  Is that not a synching cable?

    my device doesn't seem to be recognized by iTunes with the cable provided with the brand-new iPad Air?  I am unable to synch. Suggestions.?  Is that cable in the box only for charging?  It is a lightning cable and I did upload the latest Operating systems for both the iPad and iTunes.

    It is a sync cable.
    Try a different usb port.
    reinstall itunes.
    Turn the pc off/on.

  • What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

    Actually have three questions.
    1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
    2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
    3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
    Thanks.

  • My original Apple charger and lightning cable doesn't charge my iphone 5 and ipad 3rd generation.

    Both my devices are low in batt and i need to to use it tomorrow for work. Who would compensate my losses???
    Pardon me i'm not trying to create a scene here. When i first gotten my iphone 5 (new and sealed) and before upgrading to ios 7, everything works fine. After i upgraded to ios 7, the phone main camera lost its focus after a few days usage. Fortunately the phone is under warranty and was replaced at an authorised lab BUT unfortunately i lost a fair deal of data (sms, whatsapp chat history) along the way, although most of the things have been backed up. Since there is no turning back, there is nothing i could do but to face it. And that's not all...
    After a good usage of just 3 weeks, with the exact same charger and cable (both original from that came with the phone), it suddenly failed to charge. I have tried plugging it in and out and still to no avail. By the way i have not mention, the ORIGINAL lightning cable sleeve gave way after just a few weeks use. And do mind that it was HOME USE. Havent been brought out to use roughly.
    And guess what, I JUST TRIED PLUGGED THE ORIGINAL LIGHTNING CABLE TO A SAMSUNG CHARGER AND IT WORKED.
    I hereby swear to God that every word i said here is nothing but the truth. Not spamming. It has already caused me countless inconvenience but still i will bring the charger and the phone to the authorised lab once again to have it checked, and looking forward to get an explanation.     

    Both charger and cable are covered under warranty as well.  Get them replaced.
    Who would compensate my losses???
    Nobody

  • Why did my hdmi lightning cable stop working?

    Was able to watch on the tv screen using mirroring with my new ipad and apples hdmi lightning cable.
    Suddenly today no mirroring occurs. The screen goes blank, then "no signal".
    When i try with my husbands ipad mini, no problem, his still works, so its not the cable...
    I do not want to stand in line for an hour and then have some 'genius' reset my ipad and tell me to go home and try again.
    Any ideas?

  • When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

    When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working. help!

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • World Travel Adapter Kit with Lightning Cable

    Hello,
    I would like to buy the world travel adpter kit but it comes with the "old" cable, when it will be released with the lightning cable?
    thank you!

    WRONG. I quote the product page: The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a USB power adapter, a USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world.

  • HT201401 My Lightning cable doesn't work...Period!

    It has done this once before, and started working again, but now it is completely unresponsive when connected to AC power, USB plug-in, the lot. iPhone now at 0% battery, and I have no way of charging it. Is anyone having simliar issues? And is there a fix, as I won't be able to get to an apple store for a wee while, and the lightning cable is not really mass market yet!

    Unless you have one of those pad that claim to charge by laying a device on, you're out of luck until you get a new cable (assuming the cablie is at fault).  If you know anyone with a new IP5, you should plug the cable into it and see if it charges their phone.  If so, there is sometihing wrong with your phone.
    Re the Apple store, you can order a cable online for home shipment. Also, keep checking eBay.  I'm sure the Hong Kong guys are working 24/7 to build a supply of knockoff cables.

  • Original Lightning cable doesn't work

    Hi , first of all sorry for my bad english.
    I bought an original Lightning cable with the apple logo and all the stuff printed on the box, but when I tried on my phone it doesn't work. And a pop-up appear with the text: "the accessory may not be certified" or something like that. But this can not be possible because I bought it on a original apple store.
    So then I plugged it in to another iOS device and it works with this devices!, maybe someone is thinking: 'oh is dirt in the Lightning connector on the iphone'. But that was the first thing I checked and it is ok, no dirt, no humidity no nothing.
    The most bizarre of all is that a friend give me his original lightning cable (the one who came with his iPhone) and it works on my phone!
    I've tried with other original cables such as one from an iPad for example and it works too.
    So I went to the Apple Store where I bought the cable and they changed it for a new one, and surprise... it doesn't work. So what I can do? Looks like I'm not able to use other lightning cable who has not came with the original iDevice. I suspect is something with the iOS system, but I have resetted, and updated to iOS 8.2 and nothing. I've tried many things, and I don't know what else I can do. I'm really disappointed of apple this time, also I'm surprise with the worldwide problem of the quikly battery draining on iOS8, and apple fall on deaf ears with this
    Does anyone has an idea what could be the reason for this annoying problem?
