Why wont my phone charge

Hello
I wonder if anybody can help!
My iphone will not charge first it displayed charger not recognised and then nothing afterwards!
Have tried different chargers and still nothing!

Try cleaning out the dock connector on the phone. Use air to blow anything out in the connector. Sometimes that will cause the charging to not work.

    why wont my phone charge when i plug my usb into my macbook air?

    Most USB ports can't supply the power required to charge a phone.
    The original USB port was limited to 0.5 amps at 5 volts which is 2.5 watts.
    Your phone probably has a 10 watt charger.
    Recent machines allow more power from the USB port but I doubt they allow 2 amps which is what would be required to get 10 watts.  Even if they did a 2 amp draw is going to be a heavy load on the MBA battery.

  • Why wont my phone charge properly?

    I try charnging my iPhone 5, and I have to blow into the connector and twist the cord around my phone so it can sit there and charge, if I move it in the slightest it wont charge. My phone vibrates non stop through this process, and it is extemely annoying. Do I have to bring it to an apple store?

  • Why wont my battery charge past 95

    why wont my battery charge past 95%

    Battery may not show a full charge in Mac OS X
    If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge , you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent.

    Soo I've had my iPhone 5 now for a little over a month.. Everything was cool, but tonight my phone won't charge!! It's Dead now , I've been SO careful with my phone . So I know I didn't tear it up .. When i noticed it wasnt charging At first when I would jiggle the cord around it would charge , but now it's not doing anything .. It's just completely dead 
    Can someone PLEASE help?????????

    Hi - if the cable fits tightly at each end then it sounds like you have a defective cable - it is still under warranty so I would start by contacting Apple and see what they say - go to - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ - when you do get a new cable, be sure to let the phone charge for several hours before you turn it on because it does not work directly from the charger.

  • HT201407 why wont my phone wont charge or turn on now

    wont turn on or charge

    My phone seems also to charge 100% when I use the wall charger, but only 80% when I use the USB with my laptop. Both are Apple cables, though the USB cable came with my Nano, and the wall charger I bought separately pre-iPhone.
    I'd like to know why this happens, too. On another battery conversation, one respondent said you can't overcharge the kind of batteries that are in the iPhone (nickel?).
    Does the computer maybe have some sort of sensor that shuts down the charging a little early?

  • Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

    I have a windows 8.1 PC.  I use it for work.  I also have an iphone.  Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1.  During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged.  The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%.  It was 100% before I started the update.  There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol.  I disconnected the phone from the computer.  I plugged it into the apple wall charger.  It charges from that.  I tried another apple cable on the PC.  Still no dice.  I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC.  When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device.  I did try re-starting the PC.  I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable. 
    Why is my iphone 4G w ios 7.1 not charing when connected to my Win 8.1 PC?

    I found the solution on my own. I opened task manager, admin, computer management, device manager.  I scanned for harware changes.  Apple mobile device came up with an ! symbol.  I right clicked and updated the apple mobile device driver. It took about 15 seconds, but...
    I never had to do this with any computer on my iphone 3 or 4G on any computer.  Would have been good to know, apple.

  • Why wont my phone wont turn on

    i was using my phone this morning, texting and calling people with no issue. my battery was at 30% so i didnt think battery power was an issue but after i put my phone down for a few minutes it stopped working. it wont charge, it wont turn on, it doesnt even show anything on my screen at all. please help...

    You didn't answer my question. Did you have Apple or an authorized Apple service provider replace the battery? If not, then the warranty and any post-warranty support are void. Apple will not do anything with the device now, as I said earlier. You cannot purchase a battery from Apple, they do not sell parts. The iPhone is not user serviceable.

  • Why wont my phone come on

    my phone wont come on at all. ive tried rebooting it. charging it, and everything possible, what is wrong it?

    If modular 747 advice does not get it going, do the same with the iPhone connected to the Wall Charger. Plug in with Wall Charger and Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes less than 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.

  • Why wont my phone connect to itunes?

    I have updated my phone and Itunes, and now it wont connect to the computer or itunes to charge? any one know how to fix it?

    Has the iPhone ever worked with your computer?
    For the charging issue, take a look at this Apple doc -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important:  Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter  is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    If that doesn't also take care of the iPhone not being recognized problem, one of these Apple docs should help ya out:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
