Lightning cable trouble

My ipad has suddenly shown me a message that my original lightning cable is not certified and refused to charge my device, 2 hours ago I used it to download a film on it from my computer, what's the problem?

I think restoration won't help because I tried it with my iphone and saw the same message on display, luckily I have 2 cables, the second one is operating well, but what happened to the first one ? No one had the same problem before as I understand, I found nothing about it on internet

i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

Lightning Cables TOO FRAGILE... Need Upgrading

I'ts been about 1.5 Years now since I've had my iPhone 5.
But, within the last 3-5 months the Lightning Cables are extremely crappy.
I carry my Charging Cable everywhere in my pocket. I would have it on the go anywhere. Even when on the job sites.
But. I've been going through these cables like a mad man... It's like someone that's a smoker and can't stop..
I've gone through almost 20 lightning cables within the last 3-5 months...
Why can't the lightning cables be more reinforced where the cable and connectors meet where you plug in your devices?
I sleep with my iPhone 5 on my bed and I hold it when I'm charging it.
Why is it i can't do that much and the cables keep breaking? But, when I were to use an different charger for a different electronic device. I can use the cables that way and they last for months on end?
My 2nd Gen iPod Touch cable was less fragile then the Lightning cables.
Why do these cables have to be so fragile?
I even took a course in college where I learnt how to coil cables properly for concert mic/lighting cables and when I open a lighting cable out of it's package. I know how to coil it back to what it was like when I first opened the package.
Why are the Lightning Cables so fragile??? Please Upgrade them..
My iPhone 5 battery is almost on its final charge and dies @ 25-40% battery life left. And i think these cables have a thing behind that trouble.
Please fix these fragile Lightning Cables. I'm getting fed up of needing to lose the use of my phone for a day because the stores are closed and I can't get a new cable only because the cables don't last at all.

what do you mean by this?
you use those:

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?

Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot AirPlay Mirroring:

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?

Issues transferring photo/video from iPhone 6 to Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 via USB-to-Lightning cable

Hello all—
Recent upgrader to iPhone 6. I have a mid-'09 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and I'm seeking to transfer video I just shot on my iPhone 6 to my Macbook Pro. They are large files so I need to transfer via USB-to-Lightning cable as I don't have wi-fi capability to do the upload. However I can't access the iPhone 6 as a storage device through finder or image capture and can't figure out another way to transfer the files non-wirelessly. Any suggestions? The old iPhoto '09 on here won't let me import, either.

What I am hoping to do - assuming it will work of course - is run OS 10.5 as a virtual machine via Virtual Box on my MacBook Pro.
Why virtualize Leopard and not Snow Leopard?
I guess I did it once in Parallels:

But to be honest, I have forgotten how!
Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels is another matter altogether!

HT4623 I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and my iPod locked up. Can not reset. The only thing I get is a picture the lightning cable pointing to a circular iTunes icon. Any idea on how to unlock my device? Thanks. Stroke72

I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and myiPod locked up. I can not reset or restore the unit. The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?
Thanks.

You need to restore the iPod...
