My iphone will not charge unless it is turned off

My 4s will not charge unless its off then when it gets a certain amount of charge it turns back on and doesnt charge again  It is also recognized when hooked up by the hp laptop but not itunes

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.

    my battery on my iphone 4 will not charge unless the phone is turned off. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Is this observed as the iPhone is plugged into a Computer or into an AC outlet; or both?  In any case you should try a Reset of the iPhone by depressing the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears then wait for the Reset to bring your iPhone back to the Lock-Screen.

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try different good USB Cable. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius appointment and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of problem.

  • Iphone will not charge unless plugged into a speaker dock

    Hi, my iphone charged as normall over night at a friends house by plugging it into a speaker dock. Today it wont charge via a plug and wont connect to my laptop. The speaker i have at home has old hardware and is not compatible with my iphone for charging but it will connect and play music. I dont understand why my iphone 4 wont charge via usb but can still connect to a speaker dock and play music. (i have tried my cables with other iphones so i know its not the cables and i have tried re-starting and removing sim card)
    Thanks for any help anyone can give,
    Jack

    Charging via USB and playing music via USB are seperate functions and not mutually exclusive.
    The SIM card has nothing to do with this.
    Any difference when connected to the power adaptor?

  • My Iphone 4s will not charge, flash won't turn off. Is it completley broken?

    My iphone was completley dead and when I tried to charge it the flash came on and it won't charge or turn on now. I've tried restarting it and at first the Apple logo would pop up but now it is doing nothing but saying the battery needs to be charged, but it won't charge because the flash won't go off! Plus, when I plug it into my mac book itunes doesn't recognize it.

    What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
    It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
    It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

  • My 5-year old iMac is freezing up and will not reboot unless it is turned off for an hour or so.  What is going on?

    After some heavy lifting ( backing up or working in several applications) the system will slow down to a crawl and then freeze.  A hard shutdown and restart will usually not reboot it.  I typically get a white screen with a floder with a ? mark on it, a circle with a line through it, an Apple logo with a spinning wheel for many hours (I let it go overnight once to no avail), or a simple white screen.   The disk checks out fine with Drive Genius and disk usility, from both the hard disk (when I can get it running) and from the Disk utilite and Drive Genius Disks.    I have erased (zeroed out) the disk and reinstalled Snow Leopard several times with all updates.  Reparied permissions successfully.  It runs swimmingly until I start loading up files and try to use them or tao back up to Time Machine on a Time Capsule.   It will then repeat the whole scenario.   Often, If I leave it shut down for an hour or two, or overnight, it will boot fine, even after all of the prior white screens.
    I have taken it to the Genius Bar a coupole of times, and they have done a system reinstall and analysis to no avail.   Everything looks fine.  Infact, ast time it had rested and while it did not boot before I left, it did fine there. 
    The only devices connected are an ethernet cable, bluetooth mouse, and keyboard.  What's up?
    I think this is a hardware not a software issue.

        BankerDad, let's see if we can change this device's behavior. Is there any physical or liquid damage on that device? Connect it to a charger to see if the charging battery icon populates on the screen. Keep us posted.

  • My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off.  How to fix?

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off.  This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago.  If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging.  Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
    I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
    A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
    This is a very annoying problem.  Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

  • My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

  • 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 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
