Connect iphone to surface

I'm trying to connect the Iphone 5 to the Surface Pro 128.
I wish I could connect with wireless connection, but is it true I must use usb first? And then, since there is only usb 3 on the surface, would that work?

To the best of my knowledge this is not possible. You must connect via the USB cable initially to set up wireless synching.

I believe the USB port on the Surface can accept the standard dock cable that came with your iPhone. USB 3 is certainly backwards-compatible with USB 2 devices unless Microsoft's horked up USB support in the Surface for some reason.

    I have an iphone 5. I have no idea of the ios version in it. Recently i broke my iphone screen and its showing up nothing. it was never synced to itunes or to any pc. When i tried to connect iphone to itunes in my pc it was asking for passcode which i had forgotten ages ago. Suggest me the possible ways to recover my iphone.

    Since the screen doesn't work, it will be challenging to get it working, even thru iTunes. You will need to ask yourself if you want to invest more money in it or get a new one, especially since the contents will be lost since you don't know the passcode. Apple will gladly replace the screen for a cost that represents a significant portion of the price of a new. Once the screen is done, you may or may not be eligible for the free iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program.
    Or, if you decide to salvage it and are strong of heart and firm of hand, you can replace the screen yourself for less. See here and note they carry kits with all needed tools and parts.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • What cable do I need to connect iPhone /iPad to a receiver

    What cable do I need to connect iPhone /iPad to my receiver

    Any stereo audio cable will work strictly for audio, just like your headphones.
    If you want to use AirPlay Mirroring you need an AirPlay - compatible receiver, or an AppleTV.
    Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha and others all manufacture AirPlay compatible receivers.

    AppleTV does not connect to a phone via bluetooth.
    It has wifi and ethernet networking only.

  • Installed iTunes on XP laptop, connected iphone 4s, PC locks up.

    Installed iTunes and connected iphone 4s and it starts syncing, gets to step 2of6 and freezes. My wifi connection goes away and the only way to unfreeze it is to unplug the battery. After booting back up I have to uninstall iTunes in order for wifi to become operational again. Did this twice.

    The problem is likely iTunes 10.5, which has loads of sync problems with the iPod Classic. If you look on this forum, you'll see lots of users like you with similar problems. Normally, I'd advise you to read this summary post of mine and consider downgrading to 10.4. But you want to sync both an iPhone and your classic, and you need 10.5.x if you want to use the iCloud features. So I'm not sure what to advise, other than to use the correct USB ports and possibly to disable realtime virus scanning during your sync efforts.

  • I took some photos with my new 4s. Then, when I connected Iphone on PC asked if I wanted to start as a new phone or old. I choose my old account. I would like to know if there is any, any chance that I can recover the photos took before sync back.

    I did not use ICloud or any storage and did not make any sync before.
    Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.

    Your photos are gone.  They were wiped when you restored your phone.  There is no "trash can".
    You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly.  Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide.  I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.

  • Windows Blue screen when I connect iPhone to my PC.

    I've narrowed down the cause of the Windows blue screen when I connect the iPhone to via USB. If there are photos in Camera Roll I get the blue screen. When there are no pictures -- no blue screen. I can reproduce this every time now. I can live with this for now but want to be able to report it so it can get fixed.
    Does anyone else have this same problem or something I can do to resolve myself?

    Hello to everyone who is posting here and still encountering a blue screen.
    Posted below are a couple articles that speak about this. Some which may or may not apply to your current blue screen.

  • How to turn on opening iTunes after connecting iPhone

    Hello. I've unchecked "Open iTunes after connecting iPhone"... But how i can check it back? I don't see iPhone in iTunes.

    Hey MCMichal1,
    It sounds like your iPhone isn’t recognized by iTunes on your Mac, so you aren’t able to select the option to automatically launch iTunes when connecting your device.
    To resolve the issue with your iPhone not being recognized by iTunes, take a look at this article:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support
    And, if you run into any issues automatically launching iTunes, see the article below.

  • Connecting iphone 5 to WD Mybook live

    Hi
    Newbie here with limited tech knowledge, so looking for as simple an answer as possible.
    My wife has just got an iphone 5 (we've never had anything apple before).
    We have a western digital my book live on which we have saved all our music so I could clear hard drive on computer  The itunes program on the computer has been set to play from and save to the itunes library file in the shared music folder on the mybook.
    I assumed it would be a simple case of telling the iphone to use (over wifi) the library file on the mybook as well, but I cannot find anyway of doing this.
    I have the WDtogo app installed, but that is a bit long-winded in order to play the music and does not have the playlists there.
    I have installed the Remote App on the iphone and managed to get the music playing on the iphone by using the home sharing facility in itunes, but if I have to do that each time it kind of defeats the purpose.  I want to be able to play music through the iphone via the my book without having to turn on a computer. 
    Reason is that she only has a 16gb phone and the music files are considerably larger than that and so do not want to/cannot simply sync the whole lot across.  (She could just put on a few that she wanted when she was out and about).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
