I have also seen charging only USB cables (not lightning though); these came as a an included cable about 6 inches long for some device which required a USB charger, and I think the manufacturer saved a few pennies by creating this charging only cable, which I’m guessing did not include lines for data transmission. They frustrate me because I sometimes grab them by mistake, and then find my device won’t transfer data properly, until I recall that I owned a few of these charging only cables.

I didn't even know that there was such a thing as an Apple certified cable. Thank you for the information. My iPhone is a 5S. I only just now found your message in my junk email. So I'm sorry for taking a little while to get back to you. Thank you again.

I have had cables from Monoprice, Amazon Basics cables, inexpensive cables I picked up from Best Buy and all worked just fine. As long as you buy a cable which is Apple certified it will work without issues.

Here is the complete explanation. Was Re: iPhone seems to have died during update First of all I would like to thank all of you for your help and for your suggestions and opinions. The problem with iTunes was this: The download kept timing out, so I tunes with state would say problem with update and want me to start the update again. Finally I just decided to continue hitting the update button when I was told there was a problem, and eventually the whole update it downloaded after that the whole process went smoothly. The person at Apple said that sometimes the downloads do stop, and that the software is written to pick up where it leaves off when you restart the download. He said a lot of software is written to take care of things that happen as it is being used. I reconnected the iPhone and it said extracting software. Now there was another problem. There appear that there are some cables that are only for charging purposes, and others that will do the update as well as the charge. The person that I talk to at Apple said that Bilken is the only one besides Apple that will do both the charging and the updating. I also was told that a lot of times we are at the mercy of the Internet so the update can die, and then as I did, you have to start all over. In his opinion, he feels that it is more stable to use iTunes and update from there an over the air with Wi-Fi. Again thank you all for your help and suggestions and thank you for telling me how to put the phone in recovery mode. God bless, Wren Langley PS. I'm sharing all of this information as it might be of some help to someone later. I couldn't get a ride to the Apple store yesterday, so I'm very grateful that my phone is working again. I also would like to give credit to God above, because I prayed a lot and I know that I received help from him. To get my phone working again.

Thank you for all of the hints and that helps. The first way I did it was just by Wi-Fi. When it wouldn't come back on after an hour, that is when I tried connecting it to iTunes on the computer hoping that I could fix it that way.

It sounds like your iPhone got corrupted during the process. Hopefully you have a iCloud or iTunes back up. Last resort, you will have to get the iPhone in recovery mode and use the iTunes player on the computer to bring it back to life.

I looked in my sent messages and I did not see this one. The iPhone told me the update would begin in so many seconds, and then stopped. It never rebooted after that. I connected it to the computer and try to update through iTunes, which I do have the latest version of, but iTunes said that there was a problem updating the phone. I tried several times, but each time iTunes kept saying that it was downloading software for the update but then trying to start the update process over. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. The iPhone is the only phone I have.
