My iPhone 5 won't charge

Hello,

I've had my new phone for 4 days and now it won't hold a charge. I did a hard reset, and even restored it. I've plugged it into 3 computers and I get an error message that the USB is drawing too much power, so then I plugged it into 4 different outlets still nothing. I'm going to go to the Verizon store tomorrow morning.

hi everyone, i have the same problem , my iphone 5 dont charge, it said not support this device, i try reset all setting and hard reset , still not working untill i do this :

YOU HAVE TO RESTORE YOUR PHONE BY ITUNE, UPGRADE AND RESTORE SO ITUNE WILL DOWNLOAD NEW FIRMWARE AND INSTALL IT.

DO NOT RESTORE YOUR IPHONE 5 FROM YOUR IPHONE 4S BACK UP , YOU HAVE TO SET UP NEW IPHONE AND RESTORE ALL INFO FROM ICLOUD.

GOOD LUCK.

My 5, which is 4 days old, does not show on the phone that it is charging, but its actually charging. Is it a software glitch?

Just got my iPhone set up today. When I plug it into the wall or my computer it just flashes between charging and not charing in rapid succession. It won't charge for more than a second and then it stops and then a second later is stays charge again. Because it makes a beep every time the charge comes up and vibrates it's almost like it's having a seizure.

Anyway, I had apple call me through the website. They told me to restore the phone but obviously it won't mount in iTunes because it can't create a solid connection. I had read this before but didn't want to terrorize the poor girl so I let her eventually blame the cable herself. She eventually set me up with a genius bar appointment for tommorrow but it's extremely inconventient because after that I still need to restore from a back up which takes forever.

I'm a fanboy so this doesn't change anything for me and sure sometimes even Apple gets it wrong but, it's a bitter pill after waiting so long for the phone to have the problem right out of the box.

Tomorrow, to the Apple store...

I am having the same problem. I have tried using the cord that came with the iphone as well as the adapter I bought from the Apple store and my phone still won't charge. I have tried doing a reset but I continue to get the battery with the lightening bold symbol regardless of whether my phone is plugged in or not. The reset won't work. If I was anywhere near an Apple store I would make a genius appointment. Unfortunately I live 9 hours from the nearest Apple store.

It's weird because I just got my 5 last weekend and it stopped charging. I don't know what to do since tomorrow is Christmas. I have 18% left of battery :/

Tommy,

I called Apple and they are replacing my phone. We tried trouble shooting with two separate charging cables and there is no charge happening so Apple is replacing it.

I'm going to AT&T where I got it. It charges when it's turned off which is weird.

I have just used it for the first time and had the same problem.. It's the plug, the white bit that plugs into the socket. Use a different one. Mine worked afterwards

I have just had the same problem, I tried everything that people have said to do on here but nothing worked..

I then changed the adaptor/plug end and it worked instantly. Apple have probably given us faulty chargers holding we will buy replacements so they can increase their profits..

So replace the plug end, it should work. Most people have upgraded from other iPhones. So use your old plug end.

Good luck

I have the exact same issues plus a few more. Phone worked great for the first few months now it has this "not charging glitch." It died and now will not boot at all. I have three different OEM Apple cords (not cheap) that I purchased and not a one will work. I called Apple and they wanted me to try all kinds of restore and rest options to which none worked. So they will "express" mail me a replacement for $30 bucks but it may not arrive for up to three days. Once I get the new phone I have ten days to mail my old one back. Mind you they put a $700 hold on my credit card. I have a screen protector which cost $20 on my phone they will nto replace or pay for. So I am out about $50 and all my time spent calling Apple Care and talking to them. I am about to leave my job for another and move to a new town. So needless to say I need my phone. I am a first time Apple user and not pleased what so ever. Way to drop the ball Apple. I was about to buy a Mac laptop. Now I wish I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I am done with Apple. I wish my two years new service agreement with Sprint was up already...

My IPhone5 beeps when pluggeed into the cable for charging, but then no charging takes place. Any ideas?

New iphone 5 64gb at x-mas had intermitted issues with charging wouldn't connect to network took optus 36hrs to sought out from brand new sim & iphone 5 this was staight out of the box not good enough,today stopped charging completely not the first time,tried suggestions above,hard reset didn't work,switch off for about 5 mins plugged back in to mac & it started charging after l gave the cord a wiggle under the new lighting plug,go figure still dont really no what fixed it, got about four different wall chargers wouldn't work in them either,had the samsung lll in my hands when deciding on new contract should have gone with it,this is my third gen iphone not happy with performance so far apple.

This is bad news for apple. Way too many faulty devices. Considering people are still paying inflated prices for what they expect to be high quality products, this is a little ridiculous and is making me seriously rethink the whole Apple decision. My phone also won't charge anymore. When I have it plugged in, it will only show me a plugged in icon, not the lightning bolt charging icon. Sometimes it will decide that it feels like charging. Others I just have to wait for it to come around. Fail.

This solved it for me, what Kenemike2said. I also recently restored my iPhone after a failed update. The reset brought it back with 69% battery.
