My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC?

My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC, either in itunes or My Computer as a drive. iPad and iPod work fine.
Phone also not found on other computers I have tried.
Tried resetting the phone. Reloaded iTunes. Stumped now.

Now sorted thanks. It was the cable, seemed identical, would charge the phone through the USB port but did not show up as a drive.

  • My iphone 4s is not being recognised with itunes 9 my computer only supports this itunes

    My iphone 4s is not being recognised with i tunes 9, my computer will not update to 10 is there any way round this? or should it work?

    The system requirements for the iOS of the 4S is:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • My Iphone 3gS is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging so the USB port is working properly. My wifes Iphone IS being recognized by the same laptop. My Iphone IS being recognized by the desktop computer and another laptop

    My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?

    The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
    Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version?

  • My iphone 3gs is not being recognized on itunes

    hi i got a iphone 3gs and it fell on the floor and it turned off and now it wont turn on at all and when i try to connect it itune it doesnt come up. I have the latest version of itunes and i haave a 2.0 usb port but i dont know why it still is not working.

    Likely because dropping the iPhone caused some hardware damage especially if the iPhone powered off when dropped. That is not a good sign.

    You can uninstall and reinstall iTunes by following the support document here. That reloads the USB drivers for the phones http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. This is for Vista and Windows 7, Windows XP is here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. You can also check this support document when the phone is not recognized in iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

    Hi all,
    This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
    Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
    P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

    In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
    In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    So give it a try.

  • Iphone is not being recognised on itunes to sync?

    Hi, I have connected my iphone to my computer but it is not being recognised on itunes?can u help?

    I just replaced my 3GS with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and the new phone will not sync with iTunes. It pops up with the following error message whenever I hook it up:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I just got this phone from AT&T, and there are no updates available for either my computer or my phone, so they have to have the newest iTunes.
    Also, whenever I plug it in, the new phone does not appear under the "devices" tab on the left like my old one does.
    Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

  • IPhone 3G not charging and not being recognised by PC

    I plugged my iPhone 3G into my laptop today to charge it, as the battery was extremely low and for some reason, it's not being recognised by my computer at all, and it's not charging at all.
    I've tried plugging it into a powerpoint in the wall as well, and it still doesn't charge.
    I plugged my iPod into my computer with the same USB cable, and it worked fine.
    If I hold in the power button at the top, the battery picture comes up with a tiny bit of red in it and the power cable -> charge pictures come up underneath, then the screen just goes black again.
    I've never had this problem before, so I'm not sure what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem after the upgrade, but think I may have a solution. The problem doesn't seem to be that the phone isn't charging, it's that the indicator isn't showing that it has charged. Try this:
    1. Plug into the wall socket.
    2. Push and hold the power button, you should get a "slide to turn off" kind of message -- do it.
    3. Let the phone power off, and leave it that way for a slow count of ten.
    4. Turn it back on by pushing and holding the power button -- you'll get that black screen with the apple logo, don't panic, it just takes a minute to power up, you haven't lost anything.
    When it came on, the indicator showed it was fully charged from the night before. My concern is that the indicator got hosed by the upgrade.
    Try that out, let me know if it works -- and at your own risk. It worked for me as written, but I can't guarantee that will do the trick or not wipe your phone. I don't think so, it seems innocuous enough, just wanted to make sure you're aware there could be another resynch needed if it does do something else for you.

  • IPhone not being recognised

    hi
    purchased iphone and for the first few days it was working brilliantly and managed to sync through iTunes.
    however it is now not being recognised by itunes and won't charge it also won't allow me to put into restore mode using the home button and the power button. i've tried different usb cables different computers reinstalling iTunes and nothing (it does recognise my ipod just not the phone)
    any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    make sure that you have the latest iTunes try again uninstalling it. Also rest your phone press sleep and home button until apple logo appears and let go I had same issue on my pc my mac works just fine, but it was software issue on pc.
    Hope that helps
