My iphone wont charge while connected to computer

Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS.
While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
Make sure you know which device you have. Identify iPhone models.

IPhone wont charge or connect to itunes, needs hard reset

Last night at dinner I knocked over my glass of milk into my lap, soaking my pocket where my iPhone was. I cleaned it off and everything worked fine. However, whenever i tried to charge it the iPhone would repeatedly connect and discconect to the charger, back and forth for a few seconds until it'd say it was charging. It never gained any charge, and after 3-4 minutes it would connect and disconnect again. I looked it up online and I found a post describing my situation perfectly. They fixed the problem by performing a hard reset. The problem I have, is that my iPhone is out of batteries and it won't respond to a hard reset. It also won't connect to iTunes on my mac, so I can't reset it from there. What can I do to fix this?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Battery not charging while connected to computer.

I just bought the iPhone and when the battery is very low, it won't charge on my computer and it won't even open up iTunes automatically when I connect it. The batter icon doesn't show as well. It does charge when I connect it to the wall outlet and it will charge on my computer if it is about 1/3 or more full. I connect it to my computer and wait to see if anything happens, but it doesn't. I tried turning it off, and resetting it, but still nothing.

I've been having a similar issue for several months now. There are several other threads here dealing with this topic and I've tried all the solutions suggested. All work some of the time. None work all the time. These include:
• changing charging device (ie, using wall charger instead of USB port, or vice versa)
• power cycling the phone
• doing a reset on the phone
The issue is intermittent and occurs regardless of the charging device in use, and does not appear to be an overheating issue, as it can happen even if the phone has been out of use for a while.
Apple has twice replaced my phone (thank God for AppleCare), but the problem has persisted. Right now, the only thing the Apple technicians can suggest is that I wait for tomorrow's OS upgrade and keep my fingers crossed.
Given that (for me, at least) the issue dates back to the approximate time of the last OS upgrade (to 3.1.3), I'm sure hoping that will take care of it.
Tonight for example, I spent two hours on the phone, while it was plugged into the computer. The phone was draining the whole time (as I discovered when the call was over). It then took me 20 minutes of fiddling with the various "fixes" to get it charging again. I'm pretty tired of this.

My iPhone 4 shut down randomly and the lock button is broken, it has happened before but I just called myself and it turned on. It also wont charge or connect to my computer, how do I restart it?

Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

My ipad wont charged when connected to laptop. HELP?!!!

my ipad wont charged when connected to my laptop. Anyone know how to fix that. thanks, much appreciated
Also, just noticed this now....i have it connected and its got no battery. It will shut off like it died (while connected to the laptop) and then after a few minuted it will turn on. with the battery icon saying "not charging"

Chances are your USB port is charging but only when the screen is off. This is e behaviour i get from our pcs.
Make a note of the battery level, plug it in and make sure the screen is off, after and hour check the battery level.
It should have charged a bit but very, VERY slowly.
Your computer port normally only delivers 500mha of power. Some modern macs deliver 1100mha. Anything less than 1000mha wont charge with the screen in.
The iPhone charge delivers 1000mha and the iPad charger delivers 2100mha.
So it not charging via the computer is normal.

My sister has the same ipod as me and has no problems charging hers on our computer. Please Help me!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipad says it isn't charging while connected to my computer. What's wrong?

For some reason my ipad doesn't charge while connected to any of my computers. It isn't the cord because it charges through the wall by itself as well as on my keyboard dock. Any ideas?

My iphone wont charge its update prblm or not

my iphone wont charge its update prblm or not..........

How are you charging the device? Are you using the Apple brand provided charger & cable? Are you connecting it to a USB port on a computer or directly to a power outlet? How long are you leaving the device to sit an charge?

Nano wont charge or connect with USB but will with firewire.

My nano has been acting CRAZY. When I hook it up to the firewire charger it charges, but of course it wont sync. It holds the charge fine. If I hook it up with the normal charger it does NOTHING. It wont charge or connect to iTunes. What did I do? Also, I use the same cable to do my iPhone. It worked great for both. Then it quit for the nano.

Well,
You probably didn't have iTunes open (if that's where it syncs from).
If that' right, then when you want to charge or sync from your iPod, make sure iTunes is open.
This should help, but if you already did this, I'm sorry. I have no advice.

My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

Apple does not repair devices at all.
As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.
