Why does my iPhone 5c only charge with certain chargers ?

My phone 5c only charges with certain iPhone 5 chargers. My charger broke and I bought a new original apple charger but it didn't work. The charger functioned fine with my friends iPhone but not with mine, I plugged my phone to her charger and it charged fine ? This is happening with my cousins iPod as well. What's the problem ?

Probably dirt or pocket lint in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a wood or plastic toothpick.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • My iPhone 5 only charges with my lightning port cable and only on one side. I've tried buying a new cable but that doesn't work.

    My iPhone 5 only charges with my lightning port cable and only on one side. I've tried buying a new cable but that doesn't work.

    Since there's no one side on a lightning cable, make an appointment with genius bar for an evaluation.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly?  Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords.  Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on.  Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

    My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly.  It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging.  I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone.  My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device.  Neither does the computer.  The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs.  My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port.  I'm out of warranty.
    Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

    I checked with the Genius Bar.  It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me.  She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same.  She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
    I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
    I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
    I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3.  I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
    That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

  • Why will my iPhone 4 only charge on the computer

    My iphone 4 will only charge on the computer and not the wall charger my ipod will not also not charge on the wall charger,

    Try different Wall Charger to see if it is the problem. Try different USB cable to see if it is the problem. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, the Wall Charger and USB Cable are covered too.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 only connect to wifi when it's with in 5 feet of the server

    I Up graded to an i phone 5 s.  From a 4 and the 5 will only connect to the wifi at home when I am with in a few feet of the server my 4 worked all over the house and even in the back yard.  But now I can't even be in the hallway and keep connection.  Other. I phone 4s have a good connection throughout the house  and other iPhone. 5. Are the same as mine  it seems a s though there may be a poor quality  antenna on e new iPhone 5 s models and a lesser quality of a product  this seems to be a trend with iPhone  and it is very disappointing. Is there anything that can be done and also could you start building your newer products with better performance parts.  (If it's not broke don't fix it). I want my iPhone 4 back lol.    I have done a hard reset to resolve my issue and I have checked my wifI signal side by side with other phones and I pad.  Please let  me know if anything can be done thanks you

    if this is the case with all wifi routers then I would say that the wifi antenna of the iphone5 is broken or not connected

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again. 

  • Why does my iPhone 4 . only 1 speaker works???

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not charge at all?

    my iphone 3gs which was bought online from ebay, does not charge at all. i used to be able to charge it by turning the phone offg and then wrapping a rubber band around the cable and phone. this doesnt work anymore, and it doesn't charge at all

    Sounds like you purchased a phone that as physically broken.
    If the phone wasn't tampered with by you or a previous owner, you may be able to get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. Make an appointment at the genius bar and find out.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s randomly disconnect with airplay?

    I have tried using two different wireless routers but no luck. I have my Apple TV hardwired in to my router and when using an iPhone 4s on AirPlay it will randomly stall/disconnect. When this happens the airplay option usually goes away for a bit and then comes back. I have used it over a Motorola wifi with wireless g speeds, then I plugged it in to a wireless n Dlink network, and same issue. I've also tried more than one iPhone, relocated the modem so there is nothing but about 10 feet of air between the modem and the phone, and still have the issue. Interestingly enough, the iPad 2 does fine. Any ideas?

    The multi task bar as you call it does not show apps that are running but rather shows recent apps that you have used.  These apps do not use bandwidth because they are not running. Check your notifications to see which apps might be sending information because they might be using data.  The native apps that came with the phone periodically use data and there is nothing that you can do about that

  • Why does my iphone 6 have problems with wifi no matter what network I am on?

    It doesnt matter what network I am connected to.  I will have connection issues or dropped signal strength.  My phones wifi strength will go from 433 Mb/s ac to 72 Mb/s n.  Yet on my ipad Air 2, iphone 5s, apple TV and mac mini there are no problems.  I have had this phone for less then 4 days and I had to return 2 other phones with the same problem.  I have reset it many times as told in some of the apple communities with the same problem.  Is it the phones iOS or what?  How do I fix this?

    Try going to Settings> General > reset> Reset Network Settings
    then reconnect to your wifi then  see if the issue persists, if it does, make sure you are testing this on other wifi networks, if the issue persists, call into applecare and set up repair.

  • Does the new iPod only charge with the computer?

    I have just recently purchased a video iPod. Soon after opening the box I realized that it did not come with a plug that would allow you to charge it using a power receptacle. The old iPod did. What is the point of having an iPod if it is not convenient to own one? If you have to carry around your computer just to charge it, why not just carry the computer with all of your songs loaded onto it? I and all who travel would like to know why the video iPod isn't as convenient as the old one.

    Here is a link to where you can get a power adapter for 6 bucks. It's the same thing but cheaper. I have one and it works perfect. It doesn's come with the usb cable so you have to use the one that came with the ipod.

  • Why does my iPhone 6 pop up with this message?

    Hey so I got my new iPhone 6 in the mail yesturday and i'm having trouble actually getting the phone started. Whenever I try signing in to activate my phone it comes up with this message after i enter my billing zip code and my SSN. Verizon Wireless was unable to verify your identity using the information you entered. I do everything right but it won't let me activate my iPhone. I am using the same phone number as my previous phone. I've called apple and they hooked me up with a senior advisor then they hooked me up to verizon and they didn't help me at all. The SIM card is in the iPhone and my phone on verizon is already linked I just need to get the iPhone activated. Did anyone else have this similar problem?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

    When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

    Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems.
