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.

  • HT4623 My passbook will not connect to the app store. How do i fix this?

    My passbook will not connect to the app store. How do i fix this?

    I got the same error... the trick didn't fix it... but I don't think it has to.
    I already have had the current American Airlines app and happen to be flying later today. I was in the app to view my boarding pass and it gave me the option to add it... clicked to do so..
    and now that boarding pass is in Passbook!
    While it's frustrating not to be able to see all the apps available that support passbook via that connection that isn't happening... and apps that support passbook don't seem to have the keyword 'passbook' to come up in a reg itunes search.. Apps you have and apps you want that you know support passbook are all you need. I initially thought had to download special passbook apps or something - not the case. Just grab the apps you want normal via the iTunes store - and those that support passbook allow you to add the cards and passes and such to it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 4s will not charge unless the battery is totally dead.

    I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago. The first day it charged over night with no problem.  The 2nd day I put it on the charger at the end of the day and nothing happened.  It didn't even show that it was connected to the charger... nothing.  I tried turning it off and plugging it in, this gave me the apple logo and turned the phone on, but still no indication of charging.  I left the phone on the charger and went to bed (it was at about 30%) and when I woke up it was totally dead. I unplugged it, then plugged it back in and the charging screen came up and the phone turned on and charged. It took 2 hours or less to charge to 100% and it hasn't had any trouble holding that charge today.  What is going on with this???  I will probably call customer service after work today, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem or knows what is going on! Thank you!

    Yes I tried multiple sockets, nothing worked. It was still hooked up when I woke up, but dead, I unplugged and replugged and it started charging.  The night before I had tried everything and there was no sign on the phone that I even had it plugged in other than when I turned it off if I plugged it in it would turn on.

  • Orientation lock control - my iPhone 5 will not swivel to landscape since ios7! How do I fix this?

    Orientation sensor is not working...since the iOS7 update my swivelling capabilities have been locked into the portrait profile and I can't find how to fix this problem. There is a small icon in the top bar with a lock and a circular arrow around it.

    if clicking the rotation lock in control center doesnt work do this
    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join

  • My ipod 4g 16 gb is not charging and the battery is dead

    my ipod 4th gen which has 16gb died the other day and it wont charge what am i suppposed to do?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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?

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger

    My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger but does on my puter

    The iphone 4 (not 4s) shows that it is charging, but the numbers are going down not up. So I replaced the cable and that fixed it. That was kind of weired that it showed as if it were charging when in fact it was not. The Brick is fine, it was the cable. I should note it was a third party cable. Did Apple do a change where as they wont work with 3rd party cables, I had a longer cable, but am back to the original 3 footer?

    Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.

  • My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

    My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge  and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

    Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
    If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price.  Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.
