My iphone 3gs, battery not charging

i got sevaral issues with my iphone3gs and itunes updates. Cannot update my itunes. it's stark on 10.5. And now my battery is not charging.

You can try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if htat helps.
But I'd also make an appointment at your local apple store. If you've tried different leads then there may be something wrong with the port on your iPad. And that's something for the pros to check out.

    As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users.  Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

  • IPhone 3GS will not charge from USB or charger

  • My iphone 3gs will not charge after battery replacement

    Hey
    I've had an iPhone 3gs for almost two years now. Recently I shattered the screen and cracked the back. Last summer I broke my led screen and paid 250 to get a new phone from apple. To avoid this cost my dad decided to order parts online and fix it himself. He is one of those do it yourself dads. After watching tutorials and taking my phone apart he replaced the parts and put it back together (Parts included a new screen, a back, and a battery). Once we finished we plugged the phone in and what happened was that it would be stuck at the charging screen with a think red line. Every once in a while it attempts to turn on, the apple icon appearing but once it finished that it flashes my homepage and turns off. It constantly repeats this.
    I've gone through a TON of pages but have had no success in finding a solution. We've tried rebooting my phone (it doesn't work), restarting my computer, multiple plug-ins, basically everything. When plugged in to a computer, iTunes is unable to detect my phone. Any other suggestions?
    Any advice would be MUCH apprectiated. Thank you

    Nevermind guys, figured out it was a fault in the battery. We took my old battery out of my old phone put it in, sure enough it worked:)

  • Iphone 3GS will not charge via wall charger

    My iphone 3GS (6 mouths old) will not charge using the wall charger, I recently updated my phone, could this be the problem?? I have two different apple wall chargers and neither of them will charge my phone. But when I used the chargers on my ipod Classic it works fine. I'm able to charge my phone using the usb port on my computer with no problem. Can anyone help me with this problem??

  • IPhone 4 battery not charging, factory restore didn't help

    My iPhone 4 battery died, so I plugged it in to charge and it says its not charging. Tried several different chargers, all say same. Held down sleep button and home button and it told me to connect to iTunes.  Connected to iTunes which tells me I need a factory restore.  Did all that and the phone is still not charging, and I again tried several different chargers, even trying to charge off the computer. Any suggestions?

    Apple provides warranty service on the iPhone.  If there's no Apple store near you, you can call Apple Care and they will send you a mailer in which to send your phone to them.  You can also arrange for a rental unit so that you aren't without a phone.

  • My iPhone 3GS will not charge. What can I do?

    When I plug my iPhone 3GS into my apple charger, it charges for about 15 seconds then says "charging is not supported by this accessory". What can I do? I have restarted my phone and tried to restore it but it won't stay connected long enough for me to dowload it, much less install it. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged.  Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush.  Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case.  If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

  • My iphone 3gs will not charge anymore help please!!!

    At first it would only charge if i placed it in a specific way but now its not charging at all. Its brand new only got it a week ago and it had these charging issues out of the box. I cant go to a genius bar or use my warranty because i live in malawi a small country in africa where most people see an iphone as alien technology so please help a brother out!!

    If your iPhone has a hardware problem and it sounds like it does, no one here can help.
    The iPhone includes a one year warranty, which can be used in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple.

  • IPhone 3GS battery not showing low battery and then taking hours to charge

    Okay so my battery today was showing that it had full power and gave me no indication that the battery was near dead (ie: saying I only had 20% power left), and then it suddenly died on me. I went and charged it in my car and it charged for over 5 hours and was only at about 90%. It's never done this before, it typically takes at most an hour to charge even from a completely dead battery, and the battery indicator has always showed what the actual power is at. The phone is still pretty new, I bought it in March or April. Any ideas what's causing this, or what I should do? Right now, it's showing me the battery has full life, but I have a battery check app that says it's only at 95%.

    It is the nature of the beast. Mine does that too. The charger actually cycles off periodically if the phone is basically idle. If I want make sure I have the maximum possible charge in the phone, I disconnect the charger for several minutes (perhaps using it a bit) and then plug the charger back in. This tops off the battery. I have been able to go as long as three hours with the phone still indicating 100% using this technique. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I am confident this is perfectly normal.
    Honestly, I think it is a side effect of being able to turn on the percent view battery indicator. My wife's 3G (non S) does the same thing, but you can't tell because you can't see the percent view. You don't know what you can't see.

  • My iPhone 3GS does not charge with any device. It suddenly won't even be recognized by Windows (Code 52 error) and it won't charge. It seems to boot if a charger if plugged in.

    A dock won't work, I'm not sure if it's charging while it's off.

    Working again (I took it to my local Geinus Bar the next day.)

  • IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

    My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

    Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

  • My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour

    My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb  IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.

    I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
    Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free!

    Hello Regina0117
    If you already try other chargers and still not working, the best advise is for you to contact apple support, if you still in warranty they will change it for you for free.
    Start you case here:

    And contact apple support

  • My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
    That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.
