Lightning charger won't charge iPhone

I got my iPhone back in september when it first came out. Everything was fine until the past week. My phones charger broke, I've tried restoring my phone etc... And the charger is 100% broken. I'm trying to save my phones battery as much as possible and so I have it off when I'm not out, therefore I can't answer the apple support calls. It's winding me up so much because soon enough my phone will lose battery and I'll end up having to spend money on buying a new charger when I believe I should be given a new, working one. Is there any other way of getting in touch with apple because of course I can't answer calls....
Thanks, Daniel :)

HT1476 My apple lightning charger isnt charging my iphone 5

My phone is having a very hard time charging with the charger inserted. It is a standard issue lightning charger and the power goes in and out. Not sure what to do because my phone is dead and it won't charge now.

Lightning Cable and iPhone are both covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take both to Apple Store so the issue can be resolved.

My Lightning Charger Won't Work

my lightning charger for my iPod Touch 5th gen won't work, but when i plug it into another charger it does. i don't have any extra chargers at home, and need to figure out what's wrong with it. any help?

Sounds like it simply malfunctioning.
Try swapping the charger (plug) vs the cable, using the one that you know is working. From there you can isolate which is at fault.

Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

IPhone Lightning charger replacement

I recently bought an original apple 6.6' lightning charger cable from bestbuy and the end ripped and it is not working anymore. Is this product covered under my one year warranty? Also do I have to provide a recipt to have it replaced?

The lightning cable does have a warranty. You may have to provide a receipt to show when you purchased it, since it was not from an Apple store. Then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about the warranty replacement.

My apple lightning charger is not working after the ios 8.2 update.

Since the update, my brand new iPhone 6 won't work with apple lightning charger cables. Anyone else having this issue?

My eom lightning charger says its unsupported and acts like a knock off and apps appear to be running in background draining battery but I can't see them. Upgraded to iOS 7 phone only lasts 1/2 day. Notifications are all off.

The iPad 3 with retina display came with a 10W charger. The iPad 4 with retina display comes with a 12W charger that you can buy.

Lightning charger cable issue

I Have an iPhone 5, my daughter has an iPhone 5c & an iPad mini. As you are aware they all use the lightning charger.
I've had to replace my cable for my iPhone 5 as it seemed to have the same issue as the majority of other people have with this cable. Now Im having to replace the cable for my daughters iPad mini, which is now costing me another £15, which I consider to be unfair. When there is clearly an issue with the cables and it's something that is needed, so I'm being forced to pay for something that is clearly not built to last.
Do you consider this to be right?

I've got an iPad 3 and never had to replace one. I have an iPhone 5 and 7th Generation iPod Nano, with spare cables and never had to replace any of them either. Apple will replace your cable under your 1 year warranty as long as it is not accidental damage.

I thought the lightning charger would charge quicker and not take 8 hours to reach 100% battery from dead?

Is the lightning charger supposed to charge quicker?

What older chargers? The chargers are them same they have always been. The only difference is the interface. Its a bit smaller. But the chargers produce the same amount of power.
5watts for the smaller iPhone and iPad Mini chargers, and 12watts for the larger iPad charger.
With that said 8 hours is bit too much. Unless it was completely discharged it should be around the 3 to 4 hour mark to go from 2 or 5% to 100%. It takes longer if its completely discharged.
If it continues to take this long, the best bet is to take it to an Apple store for evaluation. There may be a problem with the battery. If there is they should exchange it for free.

Fully charged iphone 4 died will not reboot.

My fully charged iphone 4 died mid conversation yesterday. I tried turning it back on with the sleep/wake and home button with 2 different cables and two different chargers. I tried this again with both cables with it connected to my macbook. Nothing. Apple phone support had me retry everything i had done including trying to put the iphone into recovery mode still nothing. So at my wits end i setup a genius appointment for 12am at the 5th avenue apple store in manhattan. (great staff by the way). The Techs confirmed non of the conventional suggestions worked. In the end they did exactly what i would have done had i had a 5 star screw driver. Take the battery out, put the battery back in.
BAM.
Not dead iphone. Hope this helps someone.

Have you tried to reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Lightning charger not certified

my brand-new lightning charger will not charge my 5C iPhone it just says this accessory has not been certified And now my phone is dead and it will not charge

Is your brand new charger an Apple charger or an Apple Certified charger?
If it is, try cleaning out the contact point on your device with a clean, soft toothbrush.
If it is not, then you need to get an Apple or Apple Certified charger.

HT5521 How to test Lightning Charger cable

We sell devices (male lightning tip) that will charge iPhones/iPods/iPads that have a Lightning socket.
Our device therefore has the Apple Male connector. How can I attach an electronic load to verify the power output capability of this device?
First I need a female Lightning socket then the best solution for authenticating without an iPhone/iPod or iPad connected. Custom hardware is acceptable.
Since we load many of these at a time, a full blown ATS is not an option.

Charging iPhone with closed lid on mbp

I've been researching, but found nothing this specific so far. Related links:
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476 - This says it may or may not charge
- http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/72536-snow-leopard-not-charging-iphone-while-lid -closed.html - This says it should work since Leopard and if it's not working to reset the SMC should fix it (I haven't tried yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
- http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=795007 This is not the same model, but for him it seems to not work anyway
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126178 Suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 for dealing with closed lid, but requires external display, among other things that don't come to this case (or so I guess)
To me, experience showed that closing the lid with the iPhone already connected works fine. I'm using a macbook pro 2009, as already hinted elsewhere. It's 13'' if that makes any difference.
But if I have the computer sleeping in the bag and want to just plug the iPhone for charging convenience, then it doesn't work. I have to remove it, open the lid, wait for charging to begin, then I can safely close, sleep, put it back on the bag, and it will be charging.
So I wonder how this is supposed to work, and if I can "fix" this behavior. Anyone knows?

I actually solved it on my own luck. Oddly enough, just need to remove and re-plug.
Here, this is a small chart:
1- Computer with lid open, up and running with energy - whatever AC or not.
normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
2- Computer with closed lid, sleeping as blinking light indicate and plugged in AC power.
normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
3- Computer with closed lid for long time, unplugged from AC power, no cables on it whatsoever.
plug in iPhone - nothing happens.
unplug it and plug in again in either port - it starts charging!
If you close the lid and don't wait it gets to sleep (that is, white blinking light - if you want to be sure, wait till the computer cools down, if it was hot - that's sleep mode) you'll get normal behavior right on the first plug time. The trick of plugging again seem to work always from my tests. So this is a undocumented feature that took me freaking long enough to uncover!
Now it's aight!

A gold connector is missing on lightning charger cable. Is it still safe to use?

One of the little gold connectors on the lightning charging cable is missing. Is it still safe to use?

If a connector is missing then the cable is damaged and will no longer work as expected or at all. Get a new cable.
