ios 8.4 breaks charging

It's painfully obvious that you are not interested in pursuing a solution. Enjoy your device.

HI Rafa,

i don't have a Genius Bar available in my area. If you have one, there is no harm in trying them. (it can't get much worse, can it?)

There now does appear to be an increased recognition of this problem.

That has affected a small proportion of users, as our problem figures here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-8-problems/12/

my two cents.

thank you, kanchan

I will try it.

It's good people are recognizing that there is a problem with ios 8.4.

I had the same issue, and thought it was the upgrade in IOS 8.4. I restarted my iPhone 6 plus on IOS 8.4 worked. It now carries a charge, and connects to my mac. So frustrating, and such a relief that it works again.

I'm having the same problem with genuine Apple chargers and cables (as well as my car charger - that was a pain on a long car journey yesterday). It's more than one charger which has suddenly stopped working so I can't see that it is the charger that has suddenly become faulty. it seems to be a lighning issue rather than a 32 pin issue and older devices which haven't upgraded to iOS 8.4.1 are all fine.

Based on many previous iOS updates, I find that sometimes glitches happen with the update - some people suffer from them; most don't. I remember one a few years ago which meant my iPhone 4 battery would drain from full to empty in a couple of hours.

Lots of peculiar solutions get mentioned but I've found the best thing to do is to reinstall the new iOS. I'll do that later and hopefully it will fix the problem.

Im having the same issue. I have an iphone 5 and just did the update. Unfortunately my phone was almost out and i got the same "This cable or accessory is not certified or may not work reliably with this iPhone” warning/message and I know that they are.

Tried to charge it in my car, usb and wall adapter and to my computer and nothing works. with 3 different apple cables. (mine, my moms and my dads 😉)

Im going to leave it plugged in overnight to see if it charges a bit anyway. its totally out now so i can't reinstall or restart or do anything... right?
Not sure what my options are if I can't turn the device on and can't charge it to turn it on!

HELP!

Any progress?

Did it work?

No! 😠

I thought it had for a while but I've just plugged my iPhone in now and it didn't work. It started with 8.4.1 and only seems to affect my devices with lightning connectors - that's 3 iPhones and 1 iPad mini. The 32 pin devices (iPad and two old iPhones) work just fine.

I can charge the Lightning devices in some ways - they charge from a newer iMac and by plugging into mains wired USB charging ports I have at work; they don't charge from an older iMac, an oldish MacBook Air, my Windows laptop, nor the (original Apple) wall plugs. So it seems to be something to do with the power they draw. Very irritating message that it's not an Apple charger - YES IT ******* WELL IS!

Same issue for me. I've bought new apple chargers, malwarebytes, etc etc, been tearing my hair out trying to find out what the problem was so thank you. Won't connect to itunes so can't back it up. Would a software update fix it? What to do?

Someone shared that they were able to charge their phone on a new macbook pro and that worked for me. I have a 2011 macbook pro as well and it didn't work on that one. After it getting charged on my macbook it now charges on other outlets.... very strange. I will still get the message that my cable is not an apple cable (even though it is) but then it charges anyway.

I did nothing to fix it except have it plugged into a new macbook and have it charge. after that is seems to pick and chose when it wants to charge and work with the wires!

scared to do the new update.

Has anyone done that lates update and have their issues fixed?

Nope. No change. But the newer macs idea is interesting. A phone should never give cause for stress. Instead of buying a newer Mac, I traded my beleaguered and underperforming 5s in.
