my iphone battery won't charge

Thank you so much Brad you saved my life 😀

Thank you! It helped! My iphone works!!! 😝

Another thing you can do is put the phone in restore mode where you see the iTunes icon on the phone with a usb cable displayed below it.

The phone will usually be forced to charge during this mode, without you having to restore it. What you shouldn't do is go into DFU mode (where the screen goes black), since it will not charge in this mode.

Let the phone charge up for 15 minutes or so, and the reboot it.

To get out of the restore mode and reboot it, just press Home and the Power buttons until the phone reboots.

Mine took about a minute to reboot after I did this, but it did fix the issue!😀

I don't know why Apple has the only mobile phone on the planet that can have such a goofy issue. I like a lot of things about the phone, but they sometimes over-complicate their designs so weird issues like this crop up. And by the way Apple, would an actual reset button have been too much to ask for (like even cheap feature phones have)?

Thank-you, problem solved

i did it maybe several times, but it as soon as not chargin. i think that programm ios7 mayble has deleted...but how i can reinistall it dont know

i have same problem too, i cannot sloved itt.. please help me😟

I tried that trick but didn't work for me. Just bought a brand new charger and nothing help. I have an Iphone 3g.

Did the hard reset keeps going back top charging display. I have tried diffenter plugs and nothing. Is my phone dead not use able ?

My Iphone5 would not accept a charge on multiple chargers, while my company issued 5 would..after refraining from tossing it against the wall I grabbed a small paperclip and carefully pulled this small mammal from the charging port (actually just pocket fuzz and dust)...However, it began charging right away.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DESTROY THE PRONGS INSIDE YOUR PORT. use a flashlight if possible..still cant believe all this was in there..hope this helps..

I have a Iphone 4.... perty old... but it wont charge...u plug it in an it starts to charge but quickly disconnects an a msg pops up an says "This device may not be supported"...HELP?

Thanks Brad, worked for me. Waited 3 minutes and it was already charged.

This didnt work for me...any other suggestions?

i had just a few days ago gotten the same problem everytime i tried to charge my iphone it would say that it was not capatable or something like that, so i contacted the site i had bought it from online because it had been used. they said that i could not return it so i set out to find out what was wrong and that led me here after reading the sudgestions i looked into the port to plug in my charger unlike what happened to him i did not find any debry but i did find that the thin strip of mettal that fits into the charger was close to the edge. so very carefuly i straitended it out. now my charger works fine. check to see if the metal piese is bent if so try to fix it. This is riskey because you could make it worse but luckily it worked for me now my iphones charging with all ports and syncing up to itunes. thanks for steering me in the right direction JClary89.

Brad my phone won't turn on and it won't charge. I tried the hard reset but it isn't working.. Any suggestions

You saved my day! Mine worked too after cleaning the port.

Genius! Truly amazing how the most simple solutions can take so long to figure out. I tried just about ever DFU, Hard Reset, and Recovery method out ther and nothing worked.

I work at a pizza place and flour gets everywhere so when I saw this pic I new right away.

Thank you!!!
