My iphone 5 wont charge at all and is showing a weird sign

my iphone 5 wont charge at all

Hi Zainab5,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone battery does not charge:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

  • My ipod wont charge at all and there is a continuous charging sign when plugged in ? what can i do

    my ipod wont charge at all and there is a continuous charging sign when plugged in ? what can i do

    - Have you tried differnt cable/USB port?wall chargers
    - Have you tried resetting it:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - When you connect it you computer doe you se the iPod in iTunes?  If yes I would try restoring it.  First from backup and then to factory defaults.
    - You may have a battery or hardware problem and thus an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

  • IPhone 3gs charging EXTREMELY slow, and not showing it's connected.

    So my iPhone just started doing this last night, I plugged it in before sleep, and noticed it didn't show that it was connceted, and I wiggled the calbe around and tried connecting it to my laptop instead of the wall charger and nothing. So I plugged it back onto my wall charger and looked it up on Google, and found some people have fixed this by doing a reset, I did it, that didn't help, so by this time my phone was still plugged in and noticed it had gone up from 39% to 40%, but it wasn't showing it was connceted. So I left it to charge over night, and it only charged up to 89% in about 6 hours.
    Has anyone seen this problem before, and what do you recommend?

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

    My ipod wont charge at all and i tried to charging it with different cables and in different places but it still wont charge all i see is a yellow triangle saying charging with this accsesory is not supported or something like that

    Not Charge
    - 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.

  • I had my iphone 5c in my lifeproof case in the water and when i took my phone out there was a few drops on it but i didnt worry about it, but now it wont charge at all except to 4% and then it stops and ive had it in rice for 8 days........WHAT DO I DO

    It sounds like the LifeProof case may have leaked.  Did you pay for the Waterproof protection?  If so, you can file a claim with lifeproof, pay the deductable, and get a replacement.
    If you didn't purchase the Waterproof guarantee, if you have Applecare Plus, $79.00 will get you a replacement.  If you don't have AppleCare Plus, then this is a $269.00 replacement lesson.

  • My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it.

    My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it. can anybody help.  At first a yellow warning triangle appeared saying this device is not compatible with charging. but that does not show now.

    Most likely a hardware problem, which it may be possible to fix. Get a magnifier and look in the dock connector on the bottom of the phone. If there is dirt or moisture in it clean it with a dry toothbrush. If a pin is bent try to straighten it. Also try a different cable. If all of these fail the phone is broken.

    i have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?
    i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as  am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?

    Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
    So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed.

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

  • Ipad 2 wont charge at all

    My ipad 2 wont charge at all... the computer wont recogize it.. nothing will.. i have tried restarting it many times, changing outlets, and adapters and also usb cables... i dont know what to do...

    Plug it in to the Wall Outlet for at least 30 Minutes...
    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB.
    If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

  • HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    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 try again.
    But  if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
    Bad outlet
    bad power brick
    bad cable
    and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
    On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

  • IPhone 3gs charger port melted and home button is super hard

    My iPhone was charging over night and in the morning I found that charger and the iPhone was melting and now it doesn't turn on and doesn't charge what do I do now?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store, if still under warranty all will be replaced if determined to be a hardware failure not caused by user misuse. If you're out of warranty, Apple offers an out of warranty replacement program, the cost in the US is $199.
