When I use a third party charger, my iPhone beeps

I bought a third party charger for my iPhone 5.  Within 5 minutes of attaching, the charging icon oscillates between its regular size and a larger size.  When the  icon is in its enlarged state it beeps.  Any ideas?

Don't use that charger. That charger is evidently causing a problem.

  • Should i use a third party charger or the apple charger

    for a white macbook

    Use a genuine Apple power adapter.
    Third party chargers use inferior parts and often bear fraudulent markings from consumer product safety agencies. Using them can be hazardous to you, your MacBook, and other property due to the potential for fire, electric shock, or damage as a result of exceeding the MacBook's power supply tolerances.
    It is very difficult to determine if a charger is an actual Apple product from an external inspection, and an internal inspection revealing its deficiencies destroys the adapter. If it's on eBay, it is very likely to be counterfeit.

  • I use a third-party charger (Sharper Image) for my iPhone 4S. Before today, it worked fine, but it hasn't been working lately. I've gotten lucky sometimes when the phone would charge, but when I take the charger out and stick it back in, it won't charge.

    Any tips on how to fix this? I don't think my phone is the problem; it's something in the charger. I just don't know what?

    Yup - that would work as a test. What you want to do is to isolate the problem, so if you can test that cable with a different device, that would be the ticket.
    Just an aside....I have found that even my authorized Apple USB cable that I use normally for my iPad, is not always being recognized by my iPhone since I downloaded iOS 7. If I remove it and reconnect it, after one or two tries, it does recognize it. I know the cable is fine, because as soon as I get done with the phone, I plug it into my iPad (running iOS 5 - it's an iPad 1....) and it, without fail, connects.
    So, I think with iOS 7, the connection logic is a bit more sensitive and sometimes is just not making the connection when it should. I am certain that it is iOS7 because the issue very clearly started occurring after I upgraded. It's a bit annoying, but eventually it always works, so just a bit of a nuisance. Just wanted to share that with you in case a couple or three tries might get it to connect.... (this also is happening with my Bose speaker that I dock my iPhone on to play music during the day. Again, I am certain it started happening after iOS 7, so the two seem to be connected to me....)

  • Charging from a third party charger

    I am using a third party charger, but my itouch stops charging after about 3 minutes no matter how much juice is left. I have recreated this numerous times. Can I NOT use non-apple chargers??

    yeah i know you mean the ipod touch - some people on here do get a bit 'touchy' (all be it in a jokey manner), if you'll pardon the pun when people refer to them as the itouch.
    you didn't say you were using the USB connecter which came with it, you said you were using a third party one. if it isn't charging properly with the provided USB cable then that is a different problem. could be a battery problem, could be a cable problem. you would probably need to go to an apple store to get the to check it out (unless you have another ipod USB cable lying around the house)
    when they refer to faster USB, they mean USB 2.0 ports, which are found in newer computers, i'm not entirely sure, but i believe they are faster and allow more power to the peripheral device than the older USB ports did.

  • IPhone 4 Warranty, Third Party Charger Errors

    Hi All,
    I am experiencing problems; speakers not working for iTunes, constant "This Acessory Not Optimized" message popping up, and charging difficulties, all likely due to a third party charger.  I am hesitant to send my phone in under the warranty, frankly because I don't have faith in my local Verizon representatives.  Has anyone sent their phone in under the 1-year warranty in similar circumstances?  What were the results?  Did they charge you for damage, or is this sort of error beyond that range?
    Any and all advice would be valuable.
    Thanks,
    -C

    Trust me if you have not had it the 14 days, The iPhone your going to want to return asap, I had mine on Friday and retuned it on Monday, It is cute mind you, However the keys as you aleready most likely know are so small your going to constantly make corrections as it will type in the wrong letter, I hated mine so bad I almost ran to the truck to return mine, and the battery life they say lasts a month, pfffft, it is most likely will last you a day if that, Mine in sleep mode went from 3/4 over night to null,
    The iPhone is actually one of the best smartphones in terms of touch sensitivity and correctness when typing. Just because YOU can't type on it or have large fingers, doesn't mean other people will have the same problem. And I don't know WHERE in the world you heard that the battery lasted a whole MONTH. That's insane! There's not a phone in the world whose battery lasts a month. A day is actually a long time for a battery to last with a smartphone.
    I am the one that posted about the month long battery, I had to redo my so called address to come back in and reply, notice but they deleted one of my emails I mentioned. it might have been a defect in the phone, However I was told those pens do not work by one rep as asked, as I would have used it longer, and for the battery? another rep told me that she only charges hers once a month and it had a  long battery life, I did think to self, hmmmm a whole month she is filling me full of organic material Like I tried to post once, It could be very well the phone and I am not ruling it out as far as trying it maybe some other time, It just was not what the rep sales pitch was, I do think they could improve on the headset or the wired piece as that gave me a ton of problems using it, but again it could have been the bad apple in the bunch, {No pun intended} but I returned mine fast, Just was really more then I needed and again the sales pitch was very different then what I received, and I can honestly say each person you call pretty much has a different approach, like today I got some results on a re-order by asking to speak to the supervisior, But wish all you that have it good luck, Just was not the kind of phone I liked, oh yes, another rep told me it had to feel the heat of your finger to click on the key pads, that is why she said the pens did not work, however noticed someone in the car a friend using one of those pens on her samsung galaxy she got from T-Mobile, and no, no way on this earth am I switching carriers

    i know i should have used time machine but i have not set it up and its too late for that now
    i have been researching and racking my brain on how to put these folders and contents of them back to where they once were all of the contents of the folder are still in tact AND i have not emptied my trash,my programmes and some of my apps are not working properly now...i use my computer alot for making music and things are jumbled up now...
    is there anyone out there who knows the answer to my prayers on how to go about putting these folders/files back to where they came from to restore functionality to my mac..Yes and thank u if u were going to tell me i HAVE un installed mackeeper...A very sad and upset Mac user!! Cheers Shane

    hello there thank u so much for ur reply!! ok i uninstalled mackeeper now and the put back option is still in grey im so confused...i tried restarting my computer like u said and put back still in grey??!! the files that are in my trash are everything from Accounts,address book plug-ins,address book,adobe,aim.........then stuff like apple,Audio,....to caches color pickers,colors,com.apple.TCC,to DVD player to facebook,google to ilifemedia browser to itunes to keychains to movie effects,preferences printers to skype...my Native instruments files BUT not all of them my garage band but not all of it...it seriously looks like my whole library is in the trash i tried to put things back where i THINK they belong and it just added the item or folder under where i thought it went and didnt restore functionality to for instance google chrome and all my book marks are there....they seem to be only certain things from my library that would have added some functionality to apps and programmes like my garageband is missing stuff photobooth wont work so on.......kinda looks a bit like this thats only the half of it!! Cheers shane!!!

  • Best format to export in order to encode using a third party tool?

    Hello,
    I am trying to export a movie I cut. I want to have a high quality uncompressed file that I can transcode using a third party app (which I've had better luck with than AME). So far I have tried AVI's with 100 quality, no compression, RLE, and they look terrible. FIle size is not an issue at this point. Its a 3 minute clip that looks horrible and blocky and 2 gigs large. Sorry I am still learning premiere.

    Well I have been encoding clips for web since CS3. At the time I was trying
    to encode h.264 mp4's or quicktimes from premiere or from after effects.
    Perhaps I wasn't setting the encoding right but I was getting relatively
    larg files and or disappointing quality encodes. I then learned to export a
    quicktime with animation codec, at high quality, and transcode it using MPEG
    streamclip or Handbrake. They did a superb job and I had an easier time and
    a lot of control with the  h264 settings in these programs. It was just an
    extra step.
    Now that I am on CS5, its actually the first time I use Adobe Media Encoder.
    So perhaps it does a good job, and I just haven't figured it out yet. I am
    testing out some settings at the moment, trying to find a similar
    configuration from Handrake, to see how AME handles it, because if it works
    well it would be sweet.
    Oh and I realized that to export clean AVI I needed to use microsoft
    uncompressed AVI with uyuv. The other AVI settings looked horrible. Is that
    what people send to tape?
    Edit:
    I have taken and transcoded an uncompressed AVI clip at 720x480 using AME's h264 and then taken the same clip into Handbrake to compare results. It was hard to assign similar H264 quality settings as the options in AME are very basic. You can basically choose Variable bit rate or Constant bit rate, and then ascribe a target bit rate. And that seems to be about it. In handbrake, the codec settings are much more granular. So I set off to create an encode that would have the same file size. Here are my results:
    In AME I ended up with a 46 mb clip (it is over 3 minutes long) that looked pretty good. The render time was HALF of Handbrakes. With Handbrake, my clip was 45 mb, and it looked about the same as the AME clip, except that when there was a lot of fast movement on screen, the image quality was better, less blocky. While I really appreciate the speed from AME, the extra 2 minutes it took to transcode in Handbrake are worth the extra image quality and high end finish. It is hard to tweak the setting much more, in the absence of options inside of AME. Again, Handbrake is made to encode h264 from the ground up, and I also recognize that AME can be very useful in encoding other formats as well. Unless someone can show me otherwise, I think Handbrake will get you a better h264 encode than AME.

  • Item category used for third party

    Gurus,
    need to know the item category used for third party process and its determination, kindly help.
    thanks
    SP

    Dear Partasarathy,
    there are three different processes within the third-party.
    The usual third-party process (the delivery will be made directly from the third-party partner). The item category here is TAS in the standard.
    The individual purchase order (the delivery will be done from third-party partner to SD-partner and then the normal delivery will be created from the sales order). The item category here is TAB in the standard.
    The ALE-process is the third-party process where the purchase order (not only the purchase requisition) will be created after saving the sales order. The item category here is ALES in the standard.
    I hope, this additional info helps you further.
    Kind regards,

  • Feature Request: I want Firefox 4 to remember search history, but not form data, without having to use a third-party plug-in. Is this possible now and I am just not seeing it?

    I don't like having Firefox (or any browser for that matter) remembering any form history, as I do not see this as secure data storage (IT security/network engineer). Currently the only way to disable this is to also disable search history, which is a useful tool to have, and I am not worried about the security of that data (I don't search for sensitive data). I would like to see these two options under the Privacy->Custom Settings Preference to be separated so that people can more finely control what of their data is stored.
    Is this possible without the use of third-party plugins?

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.

  • Will anniversaries sync to calendar from address book like birthdays? Or do you have to use a third party plug-in?

    Will anniversary dates from contacts automatically appear in the calendar the same way birthdays appear?  Or do you have to use a third party plug-in like Dates 2 ical?

    or I found this one for free http://www.zencat.de/bsx/index.html
    it worked quite neatly for me for anniversaries and friend's kids birthdays (didn't want to have all of them as separate contacts)

  • Using a third party optimizer in iWeb

    okay, so I purchased Web Site Maestro to optimize my site.
    But after I optimize my site with WSM and upload to the web,
    the site looks worse, than before I optimized it.
    I'm wondering if there is a setting in iWeb that i need to change, like "optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences, or some other setting or thing that i have to change in iWeb if I'm going to use a third party web optimizer.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

    WSM should not affect the quality of your images. Have a look here for image optimization...
