My iPhone 4 has recently stopped charging

I hardly ever sync my phone with my iTunes account, but I did on Tuesday and since then I have had problems charging it.  First it starting saying that my car charger was not supported by iPhone, so I charged it on my laptop using the sync cable.  Then last night the battery ran completely dead, and now it won't charge with the sync cable either.  When first plugged it it brings up the empty battery icon, with the plug, arrow and charge symbols underneath, so it's not actually charging at all.  Been on the phone to apple support and they got me to try the hard reset which didn't work, and told me basically it's knackered and I will have to pay £120 for a refurbished one.  I just find it same that it worked fine until I synced it with iTunes the other day.  Has anyone got any advice? Thanks.

Syncing would have no affect on the ability for the battery to charge. What you describe with the car charger makes me wonder if there is something caught in the connector area of the phone. Try blowing that out with some compressed air. You can also take a soft toothbrush and brush the connector area slightly. Try another cable with the device and try connecting it individually to both the wall charger and then the USB on the computer and see if it will charge with either one.

  • HT4061 My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging even though I have used different cables and adaptors. The cables adaptors charge another phone so nothing wrong at that end

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging. Have used three different cables and adaptors to no avail. The cables charge other phones so something wrong with the phone only. Need advice on possible solutions?

    Always try
    a reset then
    a restore first with back up then as new ,as required
    If still no improvement visit Apple Store genius bar
    BUT first check there is no debris in charging socket

  • My Iphone 3gs has recently stopped holding charge

    My iphone has recently stop holding charge, it can be completely charged and will died in a hour to 2. It also has been shutting on and off, on me. It freezes contastly and will take as high as 5 minutes to get into a app. I was hoping someone would know or will have some information on it. Thanks !!

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Check Settings > Messages > Send and Receive to make sure you phone number is selected.

  • HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car.  I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

    Hi
    My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth.  The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all.  Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
    I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
    I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
    Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
    I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

  • Satellite P300 recently stopped charging when switched on

    My Toshiba P-300 has recently stopped charging when switched on.
    I have no concept as to how this has happened.
    It will charge fine when the laptop is either in sleep or switched off, but once it has been turned on it will not remain charging.
    Anybody know what's causing the problem, or has anyone else encountered this before.
    How was it solved?
    Thanks

    You must understand that charging process works automatically and it is controlled by power supply electronic. I dont know why this happen and answer to this can give you service provider after notebook check.
    Anyway, Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model and described issue can be related to defective battery.
    When the notebook is ON and OS loaded remove battery for few seconds and put it back. Will charging procedure start or not?

  • My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2. It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging. I have checked Settings-Sounds

    My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2.
    It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging when I got a new email.
    I have checked Settings-Sounds & Settings-Notification Centre and everything looks fine.
    It worked ok a couple of weeks ago but not after the latest update - anyone know why?

    Thanks Lawrence
    I omitted to say that it only occurs when the screen is locked - if I'm looking at something on my phone when an sms or email arrives, the phone 'notifies' me with a sound but doesnt do it when its screen is locked. Email messages and sms's (texts) still arrive but I get no sound to tell me they have.
    The MUTE swith is in the correct place and I have tried resetting the phone with the Home and Sleep buttons several times, still to no avail.
    I have noticed on the forums that many people are suffering or have suffered the same problem but Apple are never forthcoming, of course,

  • Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated it

    Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it,updated it and reinstalled all my apps with the ‘applications install DVD’ however it still does not work. I have also tried holding the command and option key while pressing iphoto then when the pop up appears i press the checkboxes that have been suggested by other users however nothing happens. Any other suggestions would be great!

    Ok the program itself is likely fine, it's the files it depends on that are not.
    Step #1
    1: Open your Users/Library/Preferences folder (if on Lion you need to use the Go in Finder)
    2: Scroll down until you see a file called
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    3: Trash it and reboot, start iPhoto and see if it works.
    Step #2
    1: Go to your Users/Pictures/iPhoto Library and right (or hold option) click on it and "show package contents"
    2: Inside will be a folder with your originals, copy them out.
    3: Move and rename the iPhotoLibrary file outside of the Pictures folder.
    4: Reboot and restart iPhoto, check inside the Pictures folder if iPhotoLibrary was created.
    5: Download ClamXav and run a scan on the Original photo's and your whole machine too while your at it.
    (it's if there is a picture in there from Windows it could contain a corruption caused by malware)
    6: Reimport the originals back into iPhoto.
    See if those two steps resolve your issue, if not I could suspect next a network issue? Like iPhoto is trying to contact the internet and can't or gets hung?
    You can can create another user, use the Shared Drop box to transfer files and log into the other user and see if it's a issue with just your User account, and if so you might just want to transisition over and then one day delete the old user and it's problems.

  • Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in

    My Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in. I've tried every charger in the house. I've tried to plug it into a wall charger at work in case there may be an issue with my outlets at home, but it won't charge from a wall plug-in from any location. However it will chage if I plug it into the computer or my portable battery charger. Any ideas why it won't charge from a wall plug-in and how I may fix it?

        Let's get your phone charged, chaseperil! You stated that you have tried every charger in your home. Have you tried the whole charger or just the cable? We want to make it is not the plug part of the charger. Are you using the charger that came in the box?

  • Satellite T110 - WLan connection has recently stopped working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite T110 with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The wireless connection has recently stopped working, with the yellow exclamation mark showing over the device symbol.
    On looking at the driver management screen, the following message is shown.
    "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
    Nothing I have tried seems to shake this error.
    I tried the Toshiba assist diagnostic tool. It simply says the Wireless Connection failed its test.
    I don't know how problem came about because the system worked for about three weeks without a hitch, but I would like to know if anyone else has any experience at solving this problem.
    I could try a rebuild, but I'd prefer not to loose my OS.

    Yes, I downloaded the driver, and re-installed it so it over wrote the existing driver and the WLAN came back and works OK, using it now.
    THis issue was more complicated than I initially thought and I pass it on to help/warn others.
    All my LAN connections were lost, while I was using a public open connection. I suspect a virus. I still have parts of the LAN hardware out, but not stuff I am currently using.
    The Toshiba recovery options were in fact quite limited, without an ability to access all the dud drivers, other than each by hand. A painful process.
    THanks for your help. Another 'gator sunk.

  • My HP 5514 has recently stopped printing in black.

    My HP 5514 has recently stopped printing in black. The colors do print. I tried a new black cartridge which did not help. I always use HP cartridges. I have tried all the suggestions on the HP website. These include cleaning the printhead several times, cleaning ink smear, resetting printer, venting cartridge, etc.   Unfortunately, my printer is out of warranty. Also, when I try to align the printheads, I receive a message that they have not been aligned. The alignment page does not include anything in black so this may be the reason.  I do not find a latch handle to remove the printhead so I cannot remove it to clean it more thoroughly.  Any further suggestions or tips would be very much appreciated.  I noticed that other suggestions were sent by private message to other customers. I would appreciate those suggestions also if applicable.  

    @jelino 
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message after the weekend from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details)
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

    My phone has recently stopped sending iMessage even though it has wifi also it has stopped automatically sending it as an SMS when iMessage isn't working I have to manually get it to send as a text message. I haven't changed any settings. Any suggestions?

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable

  • HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
    As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
    Has anyone any idea what is happening?
