OT: Any Apple product nerds out there?

[missouridawg]

Abut two weeks ago I upgraded both my iPhone and iPad to the new iOS.

three days ago, my iPhone quit accepting a charge from USB ports. I have USB jacks on my laptop and in my car that have charged my phone for the last year and it just stopped working. Those same two cords, when plugged to a wall outlet charge the phone just fine (so it's not the cords). It was so weird that both the USB ports in my car and laptop stopped working the same day.

This morning, my iPad won't charge either with anything. I have it plugged into a wall outlet and I get the "Not Charging" message by the battery.

Ive tried the hard shutouts for both devices, but that didn't work for either. Anyone have any advice? All of these charging options worked for several days with the new iOS update, so I'm not sure it's related to that either.

No real advice, but I know some Apple products say "not charging" when they actually are chargin slowly. I remember my new iPad would say not charging from USB, but I would plug it in at 20% and unplug it an hour later at 30%.

Having said that, it doesn't sound like your issues started immediately after updating iOS, right? I'm pretty stumped.

Correct. Everything worked fine for more than a week after the update.

The he slow charge thing isn't true either. I plugged the iPad in overnight and it didn't charge at all.

im pretty stumped.

FWIW, after the update I'm getting "your device may not support this product" message every time I charge my phone. I click OK and it goes right into charging. And the new update has made my iphone 5s feel like a commandor 64.

1. Back up both devices to your iCloud account if you can or on iTunes on your computer.

2. Make sure you have the latest iOS version by going to Settings> General > Software Update

3. You an also go to General>Reset>Rest all Settings prior to trying to do an erase and reinstall, which you should only do if you have backed up to iCloud or your Computer with iTunes recently.

If the new iOS created the issue you can probably get assistance from Apple Care for no charge. Quickest way to get help is to go to the iPhone support page and click Contact Support.

Apple put a clamp on some 3rd party chargers after having some really bad issues with non Apple chargers. Chargers from reputable companies like Belkin will usually work, but those super cheap ones you can find online from a non-descript manufacturer will probably not work.

this may be my problem, as I've used adapters from other companies for a long time. Never had issues until now.

I get apple care for the very reason they will replace the charging cables for free. I bought 3 extra cables when I got our phones and have replaced all 5 at least once.

I updated my iPhone about the same time and have had no issues. I think they issued an update to the update immediately after. It's now 9.0.2. Mine's an iPhone 6 so that might make a difference. I'm using the original charging cable in the house and a car charger I got from Verizon and neither has a problem. My wife has a 5c and has had no problems either but she also uses the original Apple charger. I haven't updated my iPad yet because I never use it.

Mine was doing that same thing. When I would plug it in one way, I'd flip the charger around and plug it the other way, then it would charge. This was with an apple charger. Luckily I got the 6s so I don't have to deal with that bs anymore.

After the last update your iPhone will only charge by using "Apple certified" chargers. Some will still work but it's a crap shoot.
