So my USB cable (charger) is stuck in my iPhone 4s. One of the sides is stuck in the phone and will not budge. How do I get it out?

So now I have a broken charger cord stuck in my phone and it won't budge. How can I remove it? It's one of the cables that have no side buttons to press.

  • I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how?  Thanks!

    If not why option available
    Thanks!

    What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
    Best of luck.

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

  • Iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!

    iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!
    please let me know what to do
    the iphoto version is 5.0.1

    Hi ambrosia,
    i am afraid that if you force quit right now you will run into problems opening your library when you next try.
    If it is at all possible (an I don't even know if this will work while iPhoto is running) open a finder window and navigate to the iPhoto Library folder.
    Highlight the folder and hit Command D to duplicate the folder. I am hoping you can do this before any changes are made to the data files that might corrupt them when you force quit iPhoto.
    Once you have the duplicate library, then you can see if you can Force quit iPhoto. You can do this if you see the "force quit" option when you click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock. You can also launch Activity Monitor and find iPhoto in the window and choose to force quit it from there.
    What kind of camera do you have and how many images and or video clips are you trying to download. Sometimes iPhoto gets stuck on very large video clips and eventually they will download.

  • After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past.  How can I get the flexible orientation back??

    After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past.  How can I get the flexible orientation back??

    I agree with what FoxFifth has said, but I want to add a little to the discussion and put my own twist on the explanation.
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen.
    If you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

  • HT201412 My ipad mini will not power off. The ICloud Backup  reminder is stuck on the screen and will not clear off.

    My ipad mini will not power off, nor will it respond to any commands.  The ICloud Backup reminder (which I do not use and have not activated)is stuck on the screen and will not clear.

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

  • My iPhone adobe reader for iOS6 is stuck in update state and will not complete updating any ideas?

    My iPhone 4 adobe reader for iOS6 is stuck in update state and will not complete updating should I uninstall and reinstall the app?

    The update process is handled entirely by iOS and unfortunately, there isn't anything the Reader can do during this process to prevent "stuck updates". Generally, we don't recommend uninstalling unless you have to because uninstalling will delete all of the PDF's in your documents!
    Here are some steps that work for most users:
    1.       Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on       
    2.       Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
    3.       Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
    4.       If this doesn't work,  go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
    Please let me know if this helps!

  • TS3694 MY IPOD touch 6th gen is stuck in repeat. I have selected shuffle. how do I get it out of repeat?

    My iPod touch is stuck in "repeat mode". It plays the same song each time. I have selected shuffel. How do I get it out of repeat?

    Ah, found it!
    if you are listening to a song, tapping once on the album cover in "Now Playing"  will show you the lyrics (if there are any in the song's info) and the repeat and shuffle options. The repeat option is to the left of the slider. It's pretty small. But you can tap on that to turn on playlist repeat or single-song repeat.

  • IPad2 is stuck in FT login and will not shut down

    My iPad2 is stuck on the FT login prompt and will not allow me to cancel out.  As of now, I cannot shut down or do anything else with the iPad.  Any ideas of what I can try?

    Try a reset by pressing and holding both the lock and home buttons together until the apple logo appears.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!
