iphone not recognised in lg home theatre system

Hello...I was just gifted a new Sony BDV-E390 Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre System. Now I am searching for the best TV to use with it. I don't know the most about technology by any means. I do know that I am looking between the 46" and 55" range for size however. The Blu-ray player is 3D ready it says and I first and foremost do not want to have any feature not able to be used on my new TV. Do I need a 3D TV? I understand that the 1080p TV's are the best I think and the 120hz as well. I guess the "bigger is better" rule works here? Any suggestions for the best TV or at least features to a TV that would work best with my new Theatre System??
Thanks in advance!
Best bang for buck TV right now is the Panasonic ST50 series plasma.

IPhone not recognised by laptop (or connecting to itunes)

My iphone has recently been repaired with a new dock (since the other was corroded with water damage and would not allow the iphone to charge at all). I got it back today and after updating my itunes, the softwarde on the iphone (to iO6.1.2) and the software on my Mac, but it is not being recognised when it is plugged in.
I have tried connecting the iphone to two of my friends windows laptops, one of whoms says 'device not recognised'.
I am wondering if this may be due to the repair that took place, but i don't see how that could be logical since my iphone is now charging fine when i connect it to the laptop. Is there anyway that the person who repaired it may have failed to repair it in a way that would allow the iphone to connect to itunes?
Also, is there a chance it could be due to the new software update? My friend said he had trouble connecting his iphone after upgrading, but with a few restarts it worked (i've done this however and still no luck).
Note: I have resarted the iphone (holding down home button and sleep button), tried putting it into DFU mode (but cannot do that since itunes still wont recognise the device), restarted my laptop etc.
Any advice would be appreciated- Thanks

This likely due to the repair, or other water damage not repaired. The fact that the phone charges ddoesn't mean that all the dock contacts are working properly.

IPhone not recognised in iTunes after upgrading to 10.0.1

Hi, I hope someone out there can help with a problem I have with my iPhone 3GS currently running 4.1.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and iTunes has not worked correctly since.
When I connect my iPhone to PC with a USB I receive the usual pop-up asking what I would like to do with the device, but when I open iTunes, the phone is not located and listed in Devices (devices not even shown on the menu).
I have tried all manner of different things to fix;
Restarted PC
Restarted iPhone
Opened iTunes before connecting phone
Connected phone before starting iTunes
Connected using different USB cables
Used different USB ports
Restarted Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service in Administrative Tools > Services
Uninstalled 10.0.1 and re-installed a previous version of iTunes
After all this, my iPhone is still not being recognised in iTunes.
Can anybody out there help please??
Thanks
Phil

Hi,
Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me also =)
I can't be 100% certain when but pretty sure it's since I updated to itunes 10 I haven't been able to sync or charge my iphone through my laptop, although it still charges through mains charger. My laptop makes a noise when I plug the iphone in but does not recognise it in windows or itunes. I have tried the above steps but cannot locate the phone anywhere in device manager or when in recovery mode. Have tried different cables and usb drives aswell as restarting etc.
Any advice appreciated

TS1538 iPhone not recognised by Desktop PC

After completing all of the instructions regarding my iPhone not being recognised by My Computer and, subsequently, iTunes it is still not working. A couple of extra things:
1. The iPhone in question can plug into my laptop and is recognised
2. Another iPhone4 is successfully recognised by the Desktop PC - just not this one
I have reinstalled iTunes, restored factory settings on the iPhone4 for in question (via iTunes on my laptop) and tried different data cables.

I have already done all of the above but still no success. It is so strange.
As I mentioned above:
* The phone (boyfriend's Dad's iPhone4) in question is recognised by my laptop (also running Windows7)
* MY phone (another iPhone4) is recognised by the desktop
Both of the above are using the same sync cable (but yes, I have tried another with the same result as above).
It makes no logical sense.
Thank you for your answer though.

Iphone not recognised by PC USB, not able to reset

iPhone 3G is freezing up regularely. Usually rest with sleep & home button works. This time around I can't reset it but when connecting to he PC it seems somewhat alive: PC says it is not recognising the USB device...
- What can I do from here?

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore , then set it up "as new device", shown here. How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device
If still not recognized in recovery mode, check this article for solutions: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Iphone not recognised by iPhoto

I am running IOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS nd wanted to import photos from my phone into iphoto.
however when i do so iphoto does not recognise the phone. It comes up in the sidebar that it is there but has no name
or images. I'm also running mountain lion if that helps.

First try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Connect the iPhone and see if it is recognized in the new library. If it is than you're current library is the culprit.
If your library is the culprit do the following:   make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhone 3g sync problem... ipod works fine, iPhone not recognised.

Hello,
I guess this may be a hardware problem but I could really do with some advice. I have an IPhone 3g which i sync to my Imac (using itunes 9.1.1). Every now and again i have had problems with itunes not recognising my phone but normally after a reboot (phone/imac) it would work fine. On one occasion the reboot didn't work and I I had to reinstall itunes.
Now i have the same problem but none of my previous fixes work... I cannot sync my iPhone at all. It doesn't charge from the USB (although it does from the mains) and doesn't show up as a device in iPhoto. Its just not there! I have tried syncing my old iPod which works fine - which makes me think its the phone is causing the problem. Everything else on the phone itself works fine.
Any ideas, hints or tips...

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did this yesterday and had no joy... so i thought i would try it again before posting that I had done it and to my surprise this time it has worked.
Great that it is fixed but i guess going through this process shouldn't be a normal operation? Is there a fault with my iPhone or is it simply a bug in iTunes that needs a re-install to fix? I imagine it will happen again in a few weeks time so am hoping for a more permanent fix.
Thanks again

Iphone not recognised by computer

The iphone does not appear as a device on the computer, even though it has just recognised it, backed it up and updated it with the latest software. Since then it will not recognise it as a piece of hardware. I must admit I am not particularly iphone savvy but I have tried all of what Apple has suggested, alas without success.
Any clues?

IPhone not recognised by pc

Hi there
I have been struggling to resolve an issue with my iPhone 3G. It just stopped working and when I connected it to my laptop via a USB port my pc or itunes does not recognise it. It also will not charge if I plug it into an electric socket. I have also tried to connect it on a different laptop without sucess. I have tested the cable and there is nothing wrong with it as it works ok with my friends iPhone. I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 Service pack 3, and my laptop is up to date with windows updates ect.
I searched the help forums on Apple and google and I think that I have worked out the problem. I am not 100% sure thats its the driver but in my Device Manager folder there is no Apple Mobile USB Device or driver listed so I think this may be it. I uninstalled itunes in the order that was advised, on the apple support page and then reinstalled it...but still my phone is not recognised. Is there a way that I can download the driver? Is there a link to download it please? I also do not have Apple recovery mode in my device manager folder and when I tried to follow the instructions to put my phone into recovery mode it did not work. My phone is now out of charge so I cant even switch it on. I would be grateful if anyone can advise me how to resolve this issue or knows what may be causing this problem. Thanks so much in advance.

I had this with itunes 10 and still have it with itunes 11. With me it's apple mobile device support that itunes says it needs. Like you ive been through many of the uninstall and reinstall episodes. No luck. Now I don't even have apple mobile device support in the list of add/remove software control panel - it just is not there, so I can't uninstall it. Though - apple mobile device support is running in services? I've tried to upgrade to a later version of apple mobile device support - but that just rolls back after a while leaving me back at square one...
Just about given up on it...

How do I fix MMC could not creat snap in?/iPhone not recognised etc

My 3G Iphone is not recognised by iTunes. It does not appear on iTunes at all. Infact if I doc the iPhone Itunes wil not function at all. I get these messages:
MMC could not creat the snap-in. It might not have been installed correctly. Name Event Viewer: CLSID:FX:{b05566ad-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}
and
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000065).
and
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device.
I hope they are all connected so that one resolution fixes it - I have tried lots of different things from the support pages - appreciate any help anyone can give.

Hi,
This is normally caused by a corrupted system file, I suggest to use system file checker to repair the corrupt file:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Type Command Prompt in the Search box, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2.At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow

Iphone not recognised in iTunes on new MAC

I’m hoping someone can help? I have been using a PC to sync my iphone in itunes. I have a new Macbook and I want to start syncing my phone with that but the device is not being recognised. I have copied my library across for the PC to the MAC but when I plug my phone in to the MAC it automatically opens iphoto but does not respond to the phone. I have authorised my MAC in itunes and reinstalled itunes twice but still no joy. Has anyone had a successful outcome to a similar problem?

try this first:
launch *Image Capture* while your iPhone is connected. Image Capture can be found in your computer's applications folder.
go to the Devices pulldown menu and select iPhone. now, go to the Image Capture pulldown menu and select preferences. In the general tab, change +when a camera is connected, open+ to +no application+. click OK, then quit Image Capture.

IPhone not recognised in My Computer, but is in itunes

About a week ago my iPhone just stopped being recognised in My Computer. Before this it was fine, it would recognise and I could move ohotos from my phone to an external hardrive. All of a sudden its not showing up there though?
It is recognised in iTunes and charges when attached. It even has the 'beep' sound it usually does when it is recognised.
I have tried a different cable, different usb port, enablibng and reabling the driver as per Apple site.
I have the latest updates on iTunes and my iPhone 4.
I tried it on an old computer I have and it is recognised there and I can transfer photos on that for now until I can get this issue sorted.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

IPhone not recognised and not charging

hi folks
here is your opportunity to shine were other forums have failed terribly.
i have an iPhone on version 1.0.2 and this is the problem i have.
1. my computer (or any other computer) doesn't recognise my phone
2. there is no response from the phone when i plug it in to either the wall socket or the computer so it won't charge.
3. it won't restore not matter how long i hold both buttons down (think the longest was 5 mins sore fingers to say the least).
4. i know it isn't the computer because i've tried a friends phone and it picks it up right away.
is there anyone out there with a sensible solution. i was thinking of something being done directly on the phone like a restore through the terminal application
thanks in anticipation

There are two types of resets that you can do on the iPhone, soft and hard.
You described the soft reset.
If you have no pictures, music, or videos that are not stored in iTunes and you are willing to lose them,(which may turn out to be your only choice) you can do the hard reset. Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Settings.
