Sometimes, Apple gadgets such as iPhones or iPads do not charge when you connect them to a charger. You do your best, but still, it’s not working. What’s the real issue? Here, we will explain different solutions one by one to fix your problem. All you have to do is try the first and then the second methods in case the previous ones don’t work.
Try a Different Socket or USB port.
There is a possibility that the socket in which you are plugging in your iPhone’s or iPad’s charger is not working properly or the USB port is not functional. To eliminate this doubt, try some other outlet or USB port.
If this does not work, then try the following method.
Reset your Device
If trying different outlets or USB ports does not work, you must reset your iPhone or iPad. To reset your device, follow these steps.
- Press and hold both the Sleep button and Home button at the same time.
- Keep holding both buttons for a few seconds.
- After few seconds an Apple logo will appear on the screen.
- Release the buttons. Your device will do the rest of the task itself.
After your device opens after a hard reset, plug in the charger again and see if your iPhone or iPad starts charging. If it is still not charging, follow the next method.
Try different cable
There might be a defect in your cable. Sometimes, a cable works appropriately, but suddenly, it does not. This could happen for any reason. To check, get one cable and check if your device starts charging. Still, is your iPad or iPhone not charging? Try the following method.
Restore your iPhone or iPad.
If the previous method also did not work, then working through iTunes may be an option to fix this issue.
Follow the steps to backup and restore your device.
- Open iTunes on your PC.
- Connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC via a data cable.
- Click on Backup. It will create a backup of your device.
- When iTunes creates a backup of your data, click on restore so that you can restore your iPhone or iPad.
- Now, select the most recent backup from the list of backups.
Now, again plug in the charger and see if it starts charging.
Until now, these were all the methods we could try. If none of these efforts work, then there might be some other technical issue that you cannot resolve. Now, you should contact the Apple Store immediately. You can also call 1-800-MY-APPLE if you can’t go to the Apple Store.
