My iPhone cable i just bought was working but after recent update it stopped working
My iPhone cable i just bought was working but after recent update it stopped working - 1
No message pops up saying that the accessory isn't supported. The original cable still works but i want this one to work because its a 9ft cable. Any suggestions so i can fix it? I would hate to have to return it when it had been working just fine.
I've tried changing outlets and on another charging port but nothing works.
It's a fake/counterfeit one.
Every cable/device that connects to an apple lightning port has electronics in the plug that allow the phone to work out what has been plugged in and configure it.
Some things are as complex as a full-size expansion card for a desktop computer, but packed down to a tiny size…
The system is apples own and patented, they only allow companies they approve to make things that work with it - and the one you have is not made by an approved company so it's been locked out. They update the "banned" list regularly to stop illegal clones working.
All you can do is send it back and get a different make.
There are cheap ones that work fine, I have some from Aldi supermarket and others from a local "pound shop". The only one I've had that did not work was from a rack in a petrol (gas) station. One from any major retailer should work.
To give you an idea of what's in the plug, this is a simple one (a real apple USB cable):
And this is one of the more complex ones; a headphone adapter, basically like a PC sound card miniaturised:
- Why won't my AUX cable work in my car after iOS 6 update? Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, I have been unable to play music in my car (Kia Soul) with the AUX cable. I know of people who have experienced this same problem too. Anybody know what happened and how I can fix it? Much appreciated.
- Update stopped during ios update own iphone now phones broke I connected my iPhone 4 to my computer (iTunes) and started doing the update through iTunes. About five minutes into the update iTunes in my computer stops working, causing the update to of course stop working. Now my phone will not turn on. On the screen it is black with the 'charge symbol' as if it were low on battery and an iTunes symbol. I have tried turning my phone off and on, but of course it didn't respond.
- Flash on my iphone 4 has just stopped working? The flash on my iphone 4 has just stopped working. I've checked all the settings, no joy. But the torch app is still working. I think my phone is out of warranty now. Can it be fixed/replaced, and would it be expensive? Thanks Well in in the uk, but pretty sure you can't buy an iphone 4s for $99. If so cud u send me over some?
- Recent pictures deleted after iPhone backup? I backed up my iPhone in order to retrieve multiple notes that were deleted and in the process my most recent photos were deleted off of my phone. How would I place those pictures back on my phone without doing another backup?
