My iphone will no longer recharge. Pasted below is the question I submitted on Yahoo! Answers last night with additional follow up details:

Problem being experienced:  My iphone will no longer charge. At the beginning of the problem which started last night, I was getting the error message " Charging is not supported with this accessory."  My question, asked last night on Yahoo! Answers with follow up additional information and questions, is pasted below in italics:
I've been getting the error message " Charging is not supported wiyh this accessory". I tried changing to a new cable, and to another connector for the cable. At first it said "charging" even thoufh the actual battery percentage continued to go down. Then it gave that error message again, now it continues to say "unplugged" for its status even though its plugged in. The power outlet itself works fine. What should I do? Its a version 4.2.6 (8E200) and a model MC676LL.

The phone is one that's no longer on a calling plan, but I still use it as a secondary
device to access the internet (like a small Ipad that works as such with Wifi at my home and an Apple ID to access the Itunes store), and it has applications that I cant find
in my droid google play store. Its a kind of workhorse for me because of its simplicity
and its ability to access the internet faster than the droid when I'm home. Is it possible that if I let it
discharge to a certain level that it will regain its ability to detect the presence of the
charger? I've been using the square white charger provided by Apple.

Another thing I'm wondering: Can hitting the "reset all" button under settings correct the problem?

Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone?
Are you using an unauthorized third party charger?

  • Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it. See "details" box for full description.

    Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it--can't use "Help," can't search the Web, can't even use "Sign Out." I have to close it entirely to get out of it. A box comes up and says "Yahoo Mail is loading especially slowly" and tells me my computer speed is slow. But this is the same computer I've always used for Firefox, and Yahoo comes up quickly and completey through Internet Explorer (which is how I'm sending this message). Can anyone help me load Firefox so that it works? I even downloaded the latest version of Firefox, but it makes no difference. Thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
    You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

  • My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

    my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

    Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

  • Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    I have this question too.  I made my own video on my iPhone 4S.  I want to put it on my iPad.  I synced it to my iPhoto, and trying now to move it to iPad.  The computer WILL NOT do this.  Why not? I occasionally get messages it's not in a correct format, but for God's sake, I filmed it on the phone, in whatever format Apple uses.  ***?

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.
    Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

  • My iPhone will no longer pick-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home.  the wi-fi settings are ok there,

    My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home.  The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now.  The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks.  I've done a reset with no results.  Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?

    First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion.  I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
    Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network.  Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router.  So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system.  I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network.  I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine.  Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result.  It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem.  The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank.  My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router?  I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot.  Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now.  Have a great day.

  • TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

    What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

  • HT5622 My IPhone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with iTunes- why???

    My iPhone will no longer back up to my computer automaticall when I sync with iTunes- why

    Probably because you have elected to automatically back up to iCloud instead.  You can still manually back up by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, it just won't be automatic.

    My Iphone Will No Longer Swipe What Should I Do?

    Hello there, ___Juicyyy.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
    If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • My iphone will no longer come one.  The apple will appear on screen then disapear what should I do

    My iphone will no longer come on, the apple will blink on and off but that is all I get

    I suggest connecting the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and do a restore. If you are unable to do that, you may need to put the iPhone in DFU mode. Search for directions on that.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

  • HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

    when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

    Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process.  When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync.  That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync.  You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
    You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.
