My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.  I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have.  It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device".  I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro.  Have never had a problem charging it before.  When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged.  I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on.  Any ideas?

Hi,
You probably need to do this...

  • My iphone will not charge and will not turn on?

    Today my iphone is dead. It will not charge and will not turn on. Could it need a new cord? It is just 5 months old! It has always been in the Lifeproof case. Ideas?

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • My iPhone will not charge and will only turn on when plugged into adapter.

    I have tried to reset and nothing. It turns off if I unplug it and will only turn on when plugged in. The charge has not moved above 19% even though I let it charge for 3 hours while I was out. What do I do?

  • My iphone will not charge

    My iphone will not charge and it is not the charger. I tried plugging it into my computer and that will not work either. I spent 2 1/2 hours at the apple store tonight!! They replaced my battery and said that would fix it and I got home and plugged it in and it wouldn't charge. I restored it to factory settings and that didn't work. I only have like 10% battery left and I use this phone for work a lot. I need my phone to charge!! Please HELP!!!

    The best way is to bring to an Apple retail store and have them look at it. Bring the phone and charging cable with you.
    Or it could be just an old dead battery and Apple store can replace that.
    However if you can get a hold of another charging cable (complete) you can try that first.
    Good Luck

  • 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.

  • My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

    My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
    When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
    It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
    I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • My Iphone will not charge or turn on. Help.

    My Iphone 3G has suddenly decided to never turn on again. I have had the phone for about five months now, and it is in great condition. The phone died, and it will not charge, and it will not turn on. Nothing happens at all. I have read where people have had problems with their phone turning on and showing a screen with an Apple image on it. This isn't the case with mine.
    Any feedback?

    have you tried resetting it with the on/off button and homescreen button? hold them both down until the apple logo appears. not sure how long you hold them down for, 30 sec maybe.

  • HT5654 Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which has not been used for at least 5 years.  It will not charged and I have tried to carry out a DFU with out any result.  Any ideas please?

    Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years.  It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect.  Can anyone please help?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • HT4060 iphone will not charge

    Iphone will not charge; claims it is not supported, though it has worked for s a few years.
    Oredered a iphone 5, which arrives Tuesday.  Did apple cancel my previous phpne chargeabiity?

    Ordering a new phone won't impact your current phone's ability to charge.  Have you turned your phone completely off and back on?  Also, you could try a Reset by holding both the Sleep Key and the Home Key down until about 15 seconds have passed.

    my ipod touch has stopped working. I will plug it into a wall, or computer, and it will register that it is plugged in, but it will not charge and turn on. does anyone have any advice? thank you.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
