OEM Lightning cable doesn't charge my iPhone 5

Just picked up two more (OEM) Apple Lightning cables yesterday and noticed that my phone did not charge overnight. If you don't sit the plug in just perfectly or make sure the cord isn't hanging off an edge, it will come loose. This connector is not as snug as the one that came with the phone when it shipped. It is really loose and the slightest movement to the left makes it come un-done. It's pretty annoying when the cable is supposed to just plug in nice and snug like the old 30 pin but it doesn't at all. My brother is having the same issues, but with the cable that came shipped with his phone.

Both charger and cable are covered under warranty as well.  Get them replaced.
Who would compensate my losses???

  • My original Apple charger and lightning cable doesn't charge my iphone 5 and ipad 3rd generation.

    Both my devices are low in batt and i need to to use it tomorrow for work. Who would compensate my losses???
    Pardon me i'm not trying to create a scene here. When i first gotten my iphone 5 (new and sealed) and before upgrading to ios 7, everything works fine. After i upgraded to ios 7, the phone main camera lost its focus after a few days usage. Fortunately the phone is under warranty and was replaced at an authorised lab BUT unfortunately i lost a fair deal of data (sms, whatsapp chat history) along the way, although most of the things have been backed up. Since there is no turning back, there is nothing i could do but to face it. And that's not all...
    After a good usage of just 3 weeks, with the exact same charger and cable (both original from that came with the phone), it suddenly failed to charge. I have tried plugging it in and out and still to no avail. By the way i have not mention, the ORIGINAL lightning cable sleeve gave way after just a few weeks use. And do mind that it was HOME USE. Havent been brought out to use roughly.
    And guess what, I JUST TRIED PLUGGED THE ORIGINAL LIGHTNING CABLE TO A SAMSUNG CHARGER AND IT WORKED.
    I hereby swear to God that every word i said here is nothing but the truth. Not spamming. It has already caused me countless inconvenience but still i will bring the charger and the phone to the authorised lab once again to have it checked, and looking forward to get an explanation.

  • JVC KS-PD100 doesn't charge my iPhone 3G.

    My JVC KS-PD100 works fine and charges my old iPhone, I have just upgraded to iPhone 3G but when I plug into my JVC KS-PD100 adapter, it doesn't charge my iPhone 3G any more, is it because of the iPhone 3G hardware change? Is there any fix for it? like another adapter in between in the connector to make it charge my iPhone 3G? so that I can listen music in car but don't need to worry about the battery.

    Yes. Original iPhone can use firewire charging; 3G cannot.

    I'd imaging there will be some sort of adapter or dongle or much existing hardware will be obsoleted by this very strange design decision.

  • Original Lightning cable doesn't work

    Hi , first of all sorry for my bad english.
    I bought an original Lightning cable with the apple logo and all the stuff printed on the box, but when I tried on my phone it doesn't work. And a pop-up appear with the text: "the accessory may not be certified" or something like that. But this can not be possible because I bought it on a original apple store.
    So then I plugged it in to another iOS device and it works with this devices!, maybe someone is thinking: 'oh is dirt in the Lightning connector on the iphone'. But that was the first thing I checked and it is ok, no dirt, no humidity no nothing.
    The most bizarre of all is that a friend give me his original lightning cable (the one who came with his iPhone) and it works on my phone!
    I've tried with other original cables such as one from an iPad for example and it works too.
    So I went to the Apple Store where I bought the cable and they changed it for a new one, and surprise... it doesn't work. So what I can do? Looks like I'm not able to use other lightning cable who has not came with the original iDevice. I suspect is something with the iOS system, but I have resetted, and updated to iOS 8.2 and nothing. I've tried many things, and I don't know what else I can do. I'm really disappointed of apple this time, also I'm surprise with the worldwide problem of the quikly battery draining on iOS8, and apple fall on deaf ears with this
    Does anyone has an idea what could be the reason for this annoying problem?

    Unless you have one of those pad that claim to charge by laying a device on, you're out of luck until you get a new cable (assuming the cablie is at fault).  If you know anyone with a new IP5, you should plug the cable into it and see if it charges their phone.  If so, there is sometihing wrong with your phone.
    Re the Apple store, you can order a cable online for home shipment. Also, keep checking eBay.  I'm sure the Hong Kong guys are working 24/7 to build a supply of knockoff cables.

  • HT201401 My Lightning cable doesn't work...Period!

    It has done this once before, and started working again, but now it is completely unresponsive when connected to AC power, USB plug-in, the lot. iPhone now at 0% battery, and I have no way of charging it. Is anyone having simliar issues? And is there a fix, as I won't be able to get to an apple store for a wee while, and the lightning cable is not really mass market yet!

  • What lightning cable can be used with iPhone 4?

    What lightning cable should be used for the iPhone 4? All the cables I have looked at do not say for iPhone 4, but for iPhone 5, etc.

    Well that's really interesting, since my iPhone 4 has a lightning connector on the bottom & the charging cable sent with it is USB on one end & lightning connector on the other. BTW, I tried a USB to lightning cable my brother has been using with his iPhone 5 & it charged my iPhone 4 just fine.
    Thanks for replying, though.

  • I just bought two  MD818ZM/AB oem lightning cables that are IDed as unauthentic under IOS7

    I bought 2 Apple Iphone5 oem charging cables.  They came in the Apple OEM packaging and are model number
    MD818ZM/A. 
    Before I installed IOS7 I had no problem with these cables.  Now that IOS7 is installed I get a message saying they are not
    authentic and they may not work properly.  So far they are charging my Iphone5 ok but it's disconcerting to receive this message
    after spending the extra money for authentic cables.

    I have a genuine iPhone cable and the other two are not but they've all previoulsy at one point or another charged my iPhone. Don't know what's wrong. I think if I were to take it to an apple store they'd confiscate it because its not actually mine though, would that happen?

  • Lightning cable won't stay in iphone

    When I connect the lightning cable to the phone it will charge and then I have to carefully set it down and leave it untouched. If I receive a phone call or message the phone will vibrate and the cord comes out and stops charging. It also comes out if I pick up the phone or try to use it while it's charging. Is there a way to repair the 'teeth' that hold the cable?

    Genuine apple cable. Even used brand new cable from friend's new phone. same issue with all cables.
    I suppose the warranty question would be an apple question. I'll make an appointment and try to go to the store unless there's a part that I can easily switch out.

  • Will incase lightning cables work with the ios7 iphone 5s

    Im paranoid now that I have an iphone 5s and some of my lightning cables dont work
    incase is running a sale and I wanted to know if apple supports the mfi incase lightning cables.
    They are way to expensive to buy one and find out that ios7 will not allow the phone to charge

    Completely depends on whether Incase have licenced from Apple the use of the lightning technology in their cables .
    If they have they will work ,if not it is a cheap ripoff copy ( maybe they were unlicenced and are being dumped as they now are effectively useless )
    Buy genuine Apple or  any brand that is sold on the the Apple on-line store

  • Apple lightning cable won't charge iPhone 5

    I just got my cables in the mail. I plugged one into my Mac then iPhone. It worked fine. Then I plugged the cable into my car with a cig lighter-to-USB and no charging. I can charge my Bluetooth headset from the adapter without issue. Why won't the Apple cable work?

  • Newly purchased Lightning cable doesn't work or rarely works??

         I purchased a new lightnign cable for my iphone 5s from Target, and it was pretty expensive for a cable. I plugged in, worked perfectly fine for a 2 days and it just "died", no matter how I tried it just won't charge or charges VERY VERY slowly. Plus, a message keeps popping out saying "the cable or accessory is not certified"?? does anybody knows how to fix the problem? I need help soon or i won't be able to use my phone anymore!!!!!

    Return it and buy a genuine Apple cable. At the very least, make sure the cable you buy is Made for iPhone certified if it's not genuine Apple. Uncertified cables have been proven to physically damage the phone in many cases.

  • The power cord doesn't seem to work properly. It doesn't charge my Iphone 6. Does anyone have this problem?

    It looks like there's a problem with the power cord or with the connector. When I plug in the phone it starts to buzz repeatedly that sound that notices the charge is starting, but it doesn't go on. On the screen, also, the battery symbol changes constantly from black to green to black again to green and so on, so I understand it's trying to charge, but it's not working. 
    Does (or did) anyone have this problem?
    Thank you

    So today I went to an official Apple store and did some tests. As you said, the problem was the cord itself. My Iphone it's only two weeks old, so I guess the warranty will carry with a new one. As I need the phone, I decided to buy another cord. In the end, I guess I'll have two cords, which is not such a bad deal.
    Thank you all for you kind answers and help.

  • Official Apple Composite Cable DOESN'T WORK with iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.2

    I've tried everything and I cannot make the official apple composite cable (MB129LL/B) work with my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2.
    I get no video output AND no sound as if the cable is simply not made for my 3GS
    What do need to do to get composite video output on my 3GS 3.1.2????

    "The 3GS will not work with a Composite cable. It will only work with a Component cable. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454"
    I have had no luck with getting the component cables to work with my 3GS. They are the Apple branded cables, not some knockoff. I would be angry if I needed to buy the universal dock to get them to work. Per some of the forums I've read, it is not needed. Also, from all the reading I've done on the TV out feature in this forum and others, it appears to be a hit or miss whether it works or not.

  • If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector.  I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked.  Good experience.
    I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

  • Firewire cable won't charge iPhone 3GS.......Why

    Can someone explain to me why my firewire cable won't charge my iPhone yet it will charge my ipod 3rd gen, 5th gen and touch 1st gen without any problem!
    I have the firewire/usb double connector cable which goes into a dock station. The firewire goes to the mains plug and the usb lead is free to connect to my laptop for syncing etc. When I connect the iPhone i get the message about not compatible etc etc. Is this just a money making scam to make you buy a new usb lead?
    The beauty of this lead was to allow me to dock the ipod/iphone to charge and sync separately if needed.
    Anyone......

    "On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
    However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
    But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life."
    That is from the link he provided.
