Lightning connector issue

New iPhone 6 with Lightning connector .
I have Spigen neo hybrid iPhone 6 case
The lower port Has thicker bottom frame that make connecting Apple's Lightning to 30-pin Adapter impossible.
Any advise how to solve the issue ?
Thanks !

Has anyone found a solution to this scenario? Equipment: iPhone 6 plus, slim case cover, eKey supra and Apple adapter. Problem: The adaptor pin is too short (or the adaptor plastic is too wide) for the pin to be able to reach and connect. To remove the phone case every time I want to use the adapter is not an ideal situation. Thank you in advance!

Lightning Connector won't dock with 32 g Touch

5th Gen Ipod Touch, never dropped. Lightning connector won't dock with Ipod. I tried three different cables.

What do you mean by "won't dock"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have difficulty charging my iphone 5. The nearest service center said that there are missing pins in my lightning connector.

My phone is still under warranty but the service center said that it is voided due to the missing pins inside the lightning connector. What do i do with this? My phone can charge but you need to press on the cord a little for it to click. My cord is not the issue because I just bought it and it is brand new.

Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Lightning connector broken

So I tried to unplug my brand new Lightning connector from the white power block and the white plastic surrounding the USB end slides right of revealing the medal connectors?
Anyone else have this issue or is this just a bad cable ?

So looks like the last post was September 2012. My wife and I have just purchaced brand new iPhone 5's and within less than a week, her Charger (the wallplug) has stopped working and my Lightning Connector as above-mentioned has broken. 4 days short of 5 months and the problem is still there. hoping there is some (Apple) based feedback soon?

Lightning Connector Operation?

I am having trouble with a connection between my iPhone 5 and a car stereo. The stereo works well with an old (30-pin connector) iPod.
I have a theory that the stereo is disconnecting while the electronics in the Lightning connector re-scans to see what is attached to the iPhone. Is this a possibility? Any iPhone geeks know how the Lightning connector works?
Thanks.

I recently tried resetting all my settings. This did not work either.
The cable may appear to be charging, but no juice is flowing. If I reverse the cable, however, it starts charging.
I can't be the only one with this issue, as it appears to be firmware related. There's a chance it's hardware related, but my iPhone was working fine for weeks, with all cables. Now, all my "reversible" lightning cables only work one way.

Lightning connector broken off inside iPad?

Has anyone else had any issues with their lightning connectors? I just bought an iPad 4 two weeks ago, and unfortunately the lightning connector broke off inside the iPad last night. I took it to the Apple Store, and they charged me $300 for a replacement iPad.
It appears that the lightning connector is significantly more flimsy and fragile than the old wide connector. Please be careful!

Here are some wonderful pictures of my 4 month old ipad mini with a broken lightning port.
My wife reported my daughter twisted it off this morning.
My daughter is 5 and not that strong. Not sure exactly what happened, but from the closeups it looks like a snap-off type action that caused the breakage. Notice the right side of the lightning socket seems to have its rim bent out of shape. I think the plug must have snapped off because of too much presure to the right.
I don't think the lightning socket is "blocking an extraction". I think if I can get something to connect to the broken off plug it will come out clean. Need to try to bent the tip of a tiny needle.
Please stop me if you guys have a better idea. I not going to bother with the apple store after what you guys have reported.
I don't want to open the case if I can help it.
Anyone know how to fix this without opening the ipad mini up?
Plan:
Needle first.
then....
I'm looking into the super glue trick. I think I can put the ipad on a tiny vice and then find a drill press type tool to enter the center of the socket.
I am thinking of trimming down a credit card or something to place the super glue on and use the drill press to exactly enter the credit card into the socket to the point that the super glue contacts the broken off tip and not the sides.......

Lightning connector charges only one way on 1 month old IPAD.

lightning connector charges only one way on 1month old IPAD . Any idea what could be the issue ....?

Hey George,
Have you done a wireless scan of the network to see what the wireless network looks like?
I would use the program INSSIDER on a wireless laptop and scan the network for all the 2.4ghz networks.
This will allow you to select a channel that is not being used and should stabilize your wireless.
If someone is within range of your wireless signal and their signal is strong enough they can disrupt your signal.
I would try that and let us know how it goes.

Lightning Connector Only Works One Way

I have two lightning connector cables, and the new 30 pin to lightning adapter, all direct from Apple.
I've found that if I plug them in one way, my iPhone won't charge, but, if I plug it in the other way, they work.
It'sprobably a software issue, as the pins aren't being reassigned. I found that if I have the plug in, and it's not working, I can restart my iPhone 5, and the cable will begin working for this orientation, but not the other way.
I've seen others mentioning this issue, but haven't found a solution yet. I've tried a hard and soft reset so far, and all that does is set the pins to work for one direction on the cable, not both.

My D800 SD card is not recognized by my new IPad. I have the lightning connector and tried but RAW and small Jpeg files...nothing!! Why not?

Cant use my IPad lightning connector for SD card with D800 even though I have tried RAW and increasingly smaller files with JPEG. Nothing works...HOw can that be that the files are recognized on a Mac but worthless for using an IPad??

Did you already have a look at this article?

Will Apple make a 30-pin to lightning connector that will work with a case?

Why did Apple make the 30-pin to lightning connector useless when you have a case on your iPhone 5/5s? The lightning connector part isn't long enough to fit inside when using Apple's own cases (i.e. the new leather cases for the 5s). Does anyone know if there are plans to correct this mistake and lengthen the connector?

From the reviews on Apple's site, the cabled adaptor does NOT work with Apple's own case - the lightning plug is too fat :-(

Ipod doesn't work on speakers but headphones are fine and speaker works with iPhone. Possible connector issue? Any thoughts on how I can get the fixed?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

The Apple on-line store has two 30-pin to lightning adapters, but they are the wrong direction from what you want. Try a Google search, or drop in an Apple retail store and see if they have what you need.

Lightning connector problem

I picked up my iPhone 5 yesterday and after getting it home and starting the long task of tranfering my thousands of songs onto the device, I noticed that there seems to a problem witht the Lightning connector. Most times when inserting the connector into the phone, there is no connection ie. no pluged in tone and unable to sync. I have found that by placing a slight downward pressure to the plug I can get it to start syncing, then after releasing the pressure it disconnects itself. I repeat, that this happens most, but not all of the time. Is anyone else noticing this or maybe I just need to try a new cable (which are not available in the HK apple store)
Cheers

I have gone through about 3 lightning connector cables over the last year. They initially work, but later they go bad.
They start having the same symptoms described above where the cable will sometimes charge if you reverse it or press down on the cable. Over time, they just stop working. When connected via USB to my computer, I started getting an error message indicating that the device was not working properly and the computer stopped recognizing the device as an iPhone.
Replacing the cable fixed the problem, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get the non-functional cables to work again or maintain them so they last longer.
One thing I noticed is that over time the center gold connection wire turns black in color, as if it was burnt as the phone was charging. I tried using an eraser to get the black stuff off to no avail. I will try a Q-tip with alcohol next. Wish there was a documented quick fix or maintenance plan for keeping the cables functional.

Ipad mini lightning connector- replacement under warranty?

my lightning connector suddenly heated up and later i discover it wasnt charging my ipad mini already.

COuld i ask for a replacement for this one, my warranty is still valid.

All accessories are covered within the warranty of the device
