Problems connecting the lightning charger to iPhone

I have two cables one which came with the phone and one I bought from apple. Both are brand new and only roughly a week old. So to my surprise I try and charge my iPhone today only to have both of them refuse to stay in when connected to the iPhone. I been trying with both but neither like to stay connected or if it does it doesn't charge and then disconnects. Anybody able to help as would like to avoid a trip to Apple Store on a sunday

Check there is nothing wedged in the charger port in the iphone, also check for the slightest amount of corrosion on any of the pins on leads and in iphone, I had this problem when charging in the car due to condensation forming on pins and got slightly corroded, I wiped them off one blew out bottom of iphone, then plugged in and unplugged lead a few times, that solved it and I haven't had problems since, also on my old iphone 4 I had a corrupted iCloud back up that caused issues with charging and had to set up as new iphone, annoying but also solved the problem.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

Is there anyway to keep the Lightning charger from breaking?

Is there anyway to keep the Lightning charger from breaking? I've gone through 8 of these in less than 5 months. When I take it apart it looks like where the wires are connected to the actual lightning plug it is a very flimsy soldering job. It looks like it was made by people who were told don't waste your time. We want them to buy lots.

Haven't had any problems with my lightning charger nor do I know of anyone else who has.
Are you pulling the connector out by the cord?

I thought the lightning charger would charge quicker and not take 8 hours to reach 100% battery from dead?

Is the lightning charger supposed to charge quicker?

What older chargers? The chargers are them same they have always been. The only difference is the interface. Its a bit smaller. But the chargers produce the same amount of power.
5watts for the smaller iPhone and iPad Mini chargers, and 12watts for the larger iPad charger.
With that said 8 hours is bit too much. Unless it was completely discharged it should be around the 3 to 4 hour mark to go from 2 or 5% to 100%. It takes longer if its completely discharged.
If it continues to take this long, the best bet is to take it to an Apple store for evaluation. There may be a problem with the battery. If there is they should exchange it for free.

HP DV6000 series laptop - Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger

Hi,
I am using a hp dv6000 series laptop for last 2 years.... Accidentally, water fell on my laptop and then my laptop itself fell down from the table.
One the first day when I tried restarting it there was no response ( No power LED no display nothing, no cpu fan etc ...)
I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the RAM hard disk, front bezel, keyboard. I used a hair dryer to dry out any of the moisture. My laptop then started showing some response ... now after 4 days .... it is working all fine except the display...
The problem is :
1. The Laptop backlight is not working... (but I can see the display with a external flashlight pointed to screen)
2. The laptop works fine on battery... but as soon as I connect the power charger... it immediatly shuts down.
Currently because of display problem... I am using the (RDP) windows remote desktop connection from an another laptop to access the desktop.... I logged on from another laptop and checked that all the internal harware parts are working fine.
Also, sometimes suddenly randomly the display backlight starts working fine and goes off randomly.
Please suggest. I seached all the online help but I have found no help on "Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger"...
thanks.

It sounds like the LCD power inverter has been damaged and would need to be replaced. As far as the AC adapter/battery issue, I'm not sure. It sounds like you need to retire this notebook early.

Can you connect the Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) to iPod nano (7th generation) with third-party accessories?

Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) do not work if connected together by other third-party accessories.

Hi,i have problems with the battery of my iphone 4s

hi,i have problems with the battery of my iphone 4s

Turning of the auto index for events and other unnecessary items ; Switching off auto brightness. - These 2 things really increased the battery life of my iphone 4s with ios7.

I have a problem with the battery and my iPhone 4S is restarting all the time. The phone was bought in June 2012 in LA. What can I do?

Since your iPhone is still under the one year warranty contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store to get a replacement.

I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there

I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there for older iPads with the 30pin charger but I can't find one for the lighning 8pin charger.

I don't know what you mean by "poor battery life". If your iPad is working properly you should get 9-10 hours of life.

TS1702 "Purchased Problem" for "The Economists" on Ipad/Iphone

Hi there,
I have a problem redarding to the purchase of "The Economists".
I have purchased "The Economists" on my Iphone, but I wrongly clicked the purchase button twice on my Ipad since it did not come as it did on my Iphone. I don't know why but, my credit card account says that the Itunes had charged me for this. I cannot understand why I cannot read it on Ipad since it did not say anything as such restrictions.
Thank you for your patience.

You haven't changed country since buying it ? Have you tried logging out and back into your account on your device ? Are the apps hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Hi, im trying to download pictures from my camera but when I connect the lightning to usb camera adapter i get the message that there is too much energy required to support the device, can anyone help me?

Hi, I´m trying to use the lightning to usb camera adaper, but I get a message that ¨there is too much energy needed to support the device¨, so I can´t download my pictures, can anyone help me?

This discussion may help.
It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

(urgent help) problems connecting the muvo n

i just bought it today and i was so happy.. but, i cant seem to connect it to the computer. i have connected the usb cable yet my computer says no device connected to the computer.. nor do i get that status diagram on my player.. the player turns on and off perfectly find but this is the only problem.. i searched the topics and dled the program it said to but still no luck..
thanks in advance!!

minkyung,
As mention what's your OS? If it's Windows 98SE, you'll need to install the driver from the installation CD first before it get detected by the computer. Perhaps you can also try the player on another computer with OS such as Windows 2000 or XP to verify that the player is functioning properly.

Problem with the back camera in iPhone 4 (Black Shadow)

Hi, I have a problem with the back camera. When turned on I can see a black shadow on one side and when I take the photo, appears in all the photos.
I searched on the Internet to resolve this problem but I haven't been successful. A friend told me that maybe it is dirt that was introduced into the cover but I don't think It's true.
The iPhone haven't dropped me for some quite time and don't crashing.
Look here is a photo to show you how the black shadow looks like:
Please, anyone know what the problem can be?

It certainly does work.
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.
