WORKED - iPhone USB disconnecting from MACBOOK Repetetively

Restart the usbd process

A solution to the issue of iPhone rapidly disconnecting from a Mac that has worked for many is stopping the usbd process.

To do that, open the Terminal app from Spotlight (Command+ Space) and enter the command sudo killall -STOP -c usbd. This will pause the usbd process. Now, connect the USB cable and check if the iPhone is still charging on and off rapidly.

iPhone 3GS Charging Problem When I try to charge the iPhone 3GS on a cable on the wall, it works until I unplug it to try and connect it to iTunes on my computer. But, when I plug it into my computer (even when my computer is plugged in too), it doesn't charge or even turn on! Any suggestions?

iPhone only charges with usb-c I have an iPhone 12 that will only charge using a usb-c connection. The regular usb chargers used to work, but one day after my phone had updated, stopped working all together. This also means I cannot plug my phone into my computer to back up to iTunes without buying an adapter. I’ve tried cleaning the charging port, using a variety of other charging cables as well as different boxes they plug into. I’ve taken it to Verizon where I was told that it is in fact odd, but that they couldn’t help me with the issue at all other than to sell me a new charging cord and box with the usb-c for $50. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
