Radio can't charge iPhone 3G

I have this great tabletop radio with an iPod cradle on top. It worked fantastic with my iPod touch. I was disappointed to see that when I sat my iPhone 3G in the cradle I got a message that the phone couldn't be charged by this device.
I guess the pin-outs have changed on the phone connector. Why would Apple change this and render my beautiful radio useless for charging?
It Just Works. Not.

Yeah, I know, it just makes me mad that this great radio is now essentially useless as a charging dock.
I hear people are having trouble with iPod adapters in their cars also not charging their new phones.
I also have a plug-in charger that you plug the USB cable into. It worked fine on my iPod, but it's no good for the iPhone. No message that time. I left it on the charger thinking my phone was charging up, and the phone actually went dead completely.
Strange that the same USB cable from my iPod can charge the phone on my PC.
/rant mode off
At least I can get notified of new mail while I'm carrying the phone around. Oops... that doesn't work any more either.

  • I can't charge iPhone 3GS with computer or sync

    I can't charge my iPhone with my computer, but the rest of my family can sync their iPods(two 2nd gens and one 4th gen) It works fine with the wall charger, so I know it's not the cord (Plus I've tried other cords). Also, I've tried switching the USB slot, using compressed air to see if it would clear out possible dust, trying a different computer, and many other tricks, plus completely restarting the iPhone. It wouldn't be a big deal if I could still sync it with the computer one last time so I could sync wirelessly from now on, but I can't.
    Lastly, it is out of warranty and I did not purchase the iPhone so I don't even know if I could take it to the Apple Store to see if they could fix it.

  • How can I charge iPhone 4 on ihome clock radio

    Hi
    I have a ihome clock radio docking station which does not charge my iphone 4.
    Does anyone have any ideas if there is an adapter that allows for this.
    Also have a Logik one that also won't charge the phone.
    Thanks in advance

    No easy way to do it like on the EVO or droid X which both have HDMI mini out for that exact same purpose. Apple wants you to buy their overpriced cables instead and then only display it in 480p max. YAY thanks apple for taking 2 steps backwards. I think apple just adopted the HDMI format for the mac mini but before it was nothing but the old OUTDATED DVI connection, lame. Try this link below. If it works for 3gs it should work for your iP4.

    I know there is an app called QIK video pro that will record videos and let you stream them over your wireless network.
    If you have a pc and a ps3 you can download the videos you took on your iphone to your pc and stream them to your ps3 using a free program called tversity or just put the avi files on a thumbdrive and plug and play via your ps3 or the usb input on your tv as long as its in a format your pc can handle and display. Confusing yet?

  • Can I Charge iPhone 3G in My Stereo?

    I have an Athena iVoice powered speaker with an iPod dock in it. Charges my iPod mini just fine, and it has a standard 30 pin dock connector. Can anyone tell me if I can charge the iPhone in this as well? Don't want to do anything that might harm the iPhone and the manufacturer's website unfortunately didn't have any information on it. Thanks!

    Just stick it in, if it doens't support usb charging then the iPhone will say that charging is not supported. If it does support usb charging then you will still probably get a message saying the device is not certified for the iPhone.

  • Can i charge iphone 4s with uk wall ipad charger?

    Also , if i can how about charging the ipad in the car,

    The iPad charger can provide up to 10 watts, but it does not push it allows the device to draw, so it is safe to charge your iPhone, which draws 5 watts, with the iPad's charger.
    In the car you would want to use a charger that can provide the iPad 10 watts or else it will charge extremely slowly. There are a few 3rd party developers that have new car chargers with a USB port for both an iPhone at 5 watts and for the iPad at 10 watts.

  • Can I charge iPhone with old iPod charger

  • Can't charge iPhone with Logitech speaker dock

    Six months ago I bought a "Logitech pure-fi express plus" to play music and charge my iPhone in the Kitchen. Recently the player has stopped charging the phone. I have upated to OS 4, but my wife has not and her iPhone won't charge on it either. Below is the webpage with the specs for the player.
    Can anyone help?
    http://www.logitech.com/en-hk/speakers-audio/ipod-mp3-speakers/devices/4781

    I really think Ives needs to be reigned in.  It is ABSURD that the case and charging the phone are incompatible.  The case is tight now but is unlikely to remain so if I pry it off every night to charge. 
    POOR DESIGN, like so much of iO7.

  • Can you charge iphone 3gs on macbook

    Hi my iphone 3gs will sync when i connect to usb port, but it will not charge from my macbook, this is the first time i have tried it, since my 7 year old imac just died and used that for all my itunes and apple tv server any ideas ?

    With the new A/V cable you get a USB port for charging during viewing.
    The line out jack on the dock is for audio. You can dock your phone and have it hook up to your stereo or speakers.

  • My iphone 5 went flat but i can;t charge or turn it on ? please help

    my iphone5 went flat but i can't charge it or turn it on . has anyone got this same problem , please help ?

    Hey rockyjamesolsson,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing power issues with your iPhone 5. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • I can't charge my iphone 4s

    I would inform you that before sometimes my device I could charge and sometimes I couldn't , but now i can't charge it at all
    and the agent here in Saudi can't solve my issue and also in this communication not solved it
    I really have a shock and i'm surprise from the service of Apple , i thought that the Apple is the best but that unfortunatelynot true
    I'm a manager in company and we have 2000 employees most of them are using IPhone but after this service I will let them shift to Samsung , they offer me a very good offer with 2 years warranty and to replace my device if they can't repair it even out of the warranty
    I beleive that Samsung is better than Apple
