Lightning cable USB connector not charging

My lightning cable shows up as accessory not charging in my vehicle.
Old cable worked just fine. Anyone else experiencing same problem?
Possible causes?

I have a hard time believing that my two lightning cables, and my brand new lightning to 30 pin cable are all disfunctional.
Especially since my two cables worked perfectly up until yesterday, and my adapter didn't work properly out of the box, only after the other two started failing.
The pins on a lightning cable are assigned by the firmware of the phone. I think that's the real issue. A new cable may help temporarily, but won't work for everyone in the long run.

Lightning cable USB connector stuck!

I plugged my lightning usb cable into my apple wired keyboard, and after a while tried to remove it.
It was stuck, no matter how I tried to (carefully) pull the cable and hold the keyboard.
After about 30mins trying, I shoved some thin cardboard in between the bottom of the usb connector and the slot in the keyboard, it helped to remove it.
On closer inspection after I had the cable out, I noticed that the indents in the bottom usb connector are deeper than many of the other usb (apple and non-apple) connectors that I have.
A warning to others out there!

Just experianced this with my cable too, in my laptop, the tip is too lift gently up and down to release, seems the socket gets locked into position. Really bad design. Looks like apple will be supplying these one after another. Not good.
People wont be happy!
Managed to get mine out DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLE up and down movements

First, reset the network in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network and power your device off/on.

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

Lightning to 30 pin connector not charging my nano from my dock

Is it just me, or does the Apple Lightning to 30 pin connector not pass charge correctly?
I bought a new iPod Nano a few weeks ago, not realising I would be getting one of the new Lightning connector ones, so when I ordered my iPad from Apple I also bought a Lightning to 30 pin connector so that I can properly use my JBL dock (which is quite old, bought it with my old 5th Gen iPod). Although it's great that it connects and allows me to control the iPod with the remote control and is a **** of a lot neater than dangling it by a cable from the headphone jack to the RCA input on the dock, I'm getting really frustrated by the fact that I'm not getting any charge being passed through to the iPod from the dock. This was one of the best things about having a dock, not only could I play my music with a good quality sound from the speakers, I could also play it all day long without worrying about the battery consumption as it was being charged at the same time. Now, if I've been using the iPod at the gym through the week, I find that I'm having to take the iPod off the dock and charge via a wall charger or my laptop - the latter allowing me to rever to the old way of hooking the iPod to the dock via headphone jack. It's really annoying that I've spent so much money on something that doesn't do everything I'd expected of it. I'm wondering if it's faulty or if it's the age of the dock - which I haven't used with an iPod for about 5 years!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

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.

Ipod not showing in itunes, usb connector not recongized on computer

Hi everyone. I have a quick question I'm hoping someone can answer. I have a new ipod nano and am having some probelms with it. When I connected it to my laptop using the USB connector, it will not reconignize the ipod in i-tunes. It will charge the ipod, but it will not pull up in i-tunes, which means I cannot download music on it. I have restarted the computer, and have plugged in a flash drive, which did work and the computer did recongize, so im not sure what else to try.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Is your nano formatted for windows or mac?

Ipad connected to PC USB does not charge

When I connect my IPAD to a Windows PC (USB port) , the PC recognizes the IPAD, but it does not charge the battery of the IPAD.

USB ports will only trickle charge an IPad (at best). It will take a long time and if you must use a USB port use one in your newest computer and one that is physically in the machine, not a USB hub.
IPads charge much faster with the supplied charger
Cheers

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Lightning cable only works thru charger not computer

My problem is that the cable only works thrugh the wall charger
I cannot connect via computer or stereo. This only happened last week
the iphone is only a month old and the cable has been(in my eyes)well looked after
I'm guessing I need a new cable. the conectors look in good condition and I can't see any "gunk" in the phone socket
Any further insights greatly appreciated

Are you getting a message on your device saying that the cable isn't certified? I have an iFrogz cable for my iPhone 6+ that suddenly last week stopped working. It is Apple-Certified at least when I purchased it. I have contacted iFrogz asking them what changed but I am waiting to hear from them. So it might be a similar situation that I am experiencing. My original cable works fine.

Is Apple's Lightning to USB connector as bad as it seems?

Just about to upgrade my iPhone (4S) to my first Lightning-equipped model (6 Plus).
But horrified to read the awful reviews of Apple's USB to Lightning connector cable.
Is it as bad as they say?
If so, is there a good alternative; I don't mind paying for reliability?
TIA…

Csound1,
How reassuring: thanks; I trust your judgement.
Much appreciated!

My lightning cable won't. Charge my ipod unless it's at a certain angle

DDoes it look normal to you?
i Have to have it at a certain angle for it to charge.

IM actually having the same problem right now, and my charger cable looks exactly like yours does. I've contact apple about the problem, and sadly you have to either buy a new cable :/ or try to tape it up and try to fix it.

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

MY IPAD MINI IS NOT DETECTING GENUINE APPLE LIGHTNING CABLES

Can someone help me with my ipad mini not detecting any genuine lightning cables?
if I charge using the genuine cable, no sign would appear that the ipad has detected a charger. I tested it on 3 lightning cables that worked on other ipads but not on mine. but if i use my after market cable(non-genuine) it will detect but will say "the cable or accessory is not certified and may not work... " I understand that apple is blocking uncertified cables. my ipad can only be charged if i turn it off.
IOS version: 7.1.2

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
