Used a third party dock and now phone won't charge!!!

I had my phone plugged into a third party dock to charge while I slept last night.  I have been doing this since I have had my phone.  When I woke up this morning there was a message saying this accesory is not optimized for iphone.  Now I can't get my phone to charge, even with my apple usb cable in my computer.  I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes.  Any suggestions, I am completely lost?

Try cleaning your dock connector...use compressed air & a soft toothbrush...look closely...any bent pins?

    Obviously not charging in not normal.
    But iOS 7 checks to make sure that the lighting connector is certified by Apple. All Apple Lightning connectors and most Lightning connectors from recognized third parties are certified. But some third parties shortcut the certification process and these cables may not work with your phone.
    If you are not using the original Lightning connector or a connector from Apple try that first.

  • I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
    Good luck.

  • Hey i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge

    i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge. I tried using a friends MBP charger of the same year as my computer but it still says not charging at the top right corner of the computer screen where the charging symbol is. This problem just happened out of nowhere because it was working the day before then the next day it just stopped working saying it is not charging. I tired doing all of the suggested techniques to fix it but not luck.
    This is the battery report is when my MBP is either connected to my charger or my friends charger which works perfectly on her computer.

    Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

    From that article
    "Portables with built-in batteries"
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • I uploaded my ipod to a third party software and now I cant find the files.

    I was having major problems syncing my ipod with iTunes so I used a third party software called "MediaWidget" to upload my data to itunes, it said it had succesfully uploaded and when i looked in itunes they were all there BUT I then restored my ipod and all data from it was erased when I tried to Sync it with Itunes the following error message came up...
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they could not be found"
    So I then selected some random songs in itunes and it said that the files could not be found. What has happened to my data? PLEASE HELP!

    Seek help from the makers of mediawidget-it's not Apple software.

    What can you do? Go shopping for a new iPad. Liquids and electronics do not mix. And, you already have a damaged screen. Replacement is your only option. You could take it to an authorized service center but I'm I think their evaluation, given what you told us, would be to replace the iPad.

  • Using a third-party card and gateway with PowerBook Pismo

    Hi,
    My birthday present this year was an Apple PowerBook Pismo - the G3 400 model (full spec. below). It runs the latest version of Mac OSX (10.4.6 as below). Before I got the Pismo, I bought a Linksys WPC54G wireless card for my original laptop, a ThinkPad T23. This works fine with my Linksys WAG354G gateway, but I'm wondering if I can do the same with the Pismo, since original AirPort cards are still hovering at £70-£90.
    My Linksys card is the revision-3 ie 'v3' version. It seems to be detected by my Pismo - running the AirPort setup wizard means it is detected and the access point is found. My network is protected with WPA (I think it's version 2) encryption, and AirPort asks me for the network password during setup. However, the next screen is blank - the screen that asks about base stations. Clicking 'Scan Again' does nothing, and I cannot continue. This was all with the original verison of Mac OS 10.4, by the way. I updated the Pismo last night, so I'll have a go with it. Since it is detected by AirPort, would I be correct in thinking the card has the Broadcom chip that is AirPort-compatible? It shows up in Apple System Profiler as 'Third-Party Wireless Adaptor,' if that helps.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Rob Johnson

    You're quite welcome zwarbo.
    Should you need it, the procedure (as I remember it, my Pismo's out of action at the moment) is as follows:
    Insert the card into the 'Book and allow Mac OS to find it. Once the 'PC Card' symbol appears beside the clock, click on the symbol and read the drop-down menu. If it says something like 'Unknown brand - Network Controller,' the Pismo has found your card. Next, open 'System Profiler' (Hard Drive -> Applications -> Utilities). Point to 'Network.' If your card is working as expected, it should display 'AirPort Extreme.' If not, you may have a card using another brand of chip, since only cards using BroadCom chips are supported natively by Mac OS. It's hit-and-miss what chip you get in your card - there doesn't seem to be a general trend. My card has the FCC ID 'Q87-WPC54GV3' and the IC ID '3839A-WPC54GV3,' if this helps.
    If it does show up as AirPort Extreme, here is the full procedure for setting up the card for your network:
    - Open 'System Preferences'
    - Head to 'Network'
    - There should be an option, possibly in the drop-down box, to select 'AirPort.'
    - You will then have the option of switching AirPort on.
    - Select 'Only Join Preferred Networks'and either search for your access point, or manually input your router's details (the default IP address for the WAG354G is 192.168.1.1).
    - Now, when you insert your card, AirPort should automatically switch on and connect to your network. Naturally, if you want to use your Pismo on the move, you'll have to uncheck the above and try another way. Enabling the 'Show AirPort Status' is useful, while you're there.
    Take this as a rough guide. My Pismo has a battery problem, so I'm having it sorted. As such, I can't actually use it, so when the 'Book is back in action, I'll double-check the procedure (I don't posess another Mac other than an ancient iMac G3, long before wireless). The Mac should remember your WEP or WPA key, unlike the Linksys Windows utility, which is tempermental at best.
    Hope this helps,
    Rob Johnson

  • My IPhone 3GS just died, it stopped Vibrating a few days ago and now it won't charge.

    About a month ago, my IPhone 4 got stolen so I replaced it with an old 3GS. The 3GS was working perfectly fine up until about 3 days ago when it stopped vibrating on silent. I checked the settings and it said that the vibrate was on so it was for sure not working. I shut it off and on and the problem still continued. Then today, I came home from a party and plugged my phone in the charger because it had low battery. The phone wouldn't charge so I tried using 5 more different chargers and sources around my house. By the time I had done this my phone was dead and won't turn on. I have tried cleaning out the charging part and the piece that goes in and multiple other things I've read but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?

    "I drop the phone a lot"   That pretty much answers your own question.  Sounds like hardware damage which requires evaluation by Apple or an independent repair center.  You might consider a rugged case such as the Otterbox Defender.

  • My iphone went dead and now it won't charge.

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 16GB went dead when I was driving home.  So when I reached my house, I plugged it in to my computer using the iphone connector cable (something that always works).  Now my phone is not charging, and is not showing on the computer as charging. It is completely dead and will not turn on.  The connector cable works because I tested it using my ipod...
    Please help. I don't have the apple support for this phone...

    Without the apple support that greatly reduces your odds.
    I got mine no questions asked becasue I did have it.
    Good luck

  • Battery on brand new iPod touch drains when synced to a mac and now it won't charge. If you're thinking of buying a new iPod touch, don't bother. The batteries don't work.

    The battery on my son's brand new 64G iPod touch drained while it was synced yo the mac. Now it says 100% charged when it's connected to a charger, but drops to zero as soon as it's disconnected. It would appear that, either the battery is faulty or the battery indicator is faulty. iPod batteries are not supposed to drain while syncing. And rechargeable batteries are supposed to recharge after they have drained. Maybe I'm missing something simple here, does anyone know what it is?

    Not Charge
