[solved] iphone5 USB can't charge. icon flash on and off.

When I was trying to charge my iphone5 by connecting to my Mac, it didn't work and the battery icon flashed on and off.

The solution:
I installed windows iTunes on my computer, get charged, but still flashing.
Then, I pressed "trust" on my phone and clicked allow access/continue on my windows computer and it worked.

There are other suggestions here:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4363206?start=15

What we know now is Apple is trying to disable non-Apple USB iphone cables. They keep updating their iOS/Mac system to add new types of cables to blacklists and eliminates the tricks to circumvent the Apple defense.

Take care
