My PC not recognizing iPhone

My Pc not recognizing iPhone. I tryed a lot of ways but nothing help.

If its anything like what my pc does from time to time... Is that when I plug in , Itunes "locks" up for a period of time followed by it finally "letting go" and then not seeing my iphone.  Granted, I use an Iphone 4 but none the less I'm assuming this is the issue you are having.
What I do (cant take credit for this, learned from another user on these boards) is hold your home button and power button at the same time.  Let the iphone turn off and then turn it back on.  Plug it back in , and it should be seen.  If that does not work (does not always for me) try it when the usb cable plugged in.   One or the other usually does the trick for me.
Good luck!

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

    I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

    Had this problem this morning.
    Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
    This morning had the problem,too.
    Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
    Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

    I had this exact same problem and just figured out how to fix it. I had to reload the driver on the iphone5 in order for itunes to recognize the device. Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

    Mercedez Benz COMAND System not recognizing iPhone 5 after iOS 8 update, can we expect the same result with iPhone 6 or 6 plus?
    I'm planning to purchase the 6 plus, but I need to know from where.whom will the fix for this problem emerge.

    My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system.  That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.

  • Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

    Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
    Any suggestions out there?

    How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

  • PC not recognizing iPhone 3G

    I have an iPhone 3G and for some reason my phone is no longer being recognized by my PC. Please help me figure this out.
    I plug it in with its USB connector and my PC (running XP) no longer picks it up. Also, one of my iPhone capable music players does not register it. The last time it worked, I plugged it in and both the iPhone and PC would recognize each other and then not recognized each other; as if I was plugging and unplugging the USB connection repeatedly. I can still charge it through the wall charger and one of my other music players also recognizes it. I have received error messages from iTunes saying it encounter a read error, but now I don't get get an error message.
    Please help me figure out why this happens.

    I was able to get the device to work by stopping and then starting the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    I followed this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • ITunes 8.2 not recognizing iPhone 3G

    I have an Intel iMac and since the upgrade, iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone anymore. iPhoto does not open on its own anymore either. I have checked preferences etc., but cannot find how to correct this. I have also done a soft and hard reset on the iPhone.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem.
    I saw that there was a new version of software available for my iPhone yesterday and decided to download it.
    First I had to upgrade iTunes. I followed all the instructions but when the system restart occured, there was a glitch of some sort and it took a while for the installer to figure it out and fix it.
    After *successfully validating the install*, it would not recognize my iPhone - which was connected to it moments before the install started. It repeatedly had me disconnect it and then reconnect it trying to see who's phone it was. Finally I rebooted again and it recognized the phone and downloaded and installed the new 3.0 operating system and then it re-sync'd the phone.
    Everything was working fine at this point.
    I eject the iPhone from the menu and later go to reconnect it to add some playlists I had made.
    Again it does not recognize the iPhone - it knows one is there but can't figure out whose it is! Rebooting, disconnecting ect... doesnt help.
    There is nothing in the Help Manual to steer me in the right direction.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Iphoto not recognizing iphone?

    I cant get iphone to download photos not even an option in iphoto.

    Same problem here, photo sync used to work fine, stopped all of a sudden. I wanted to sync before the 1.0.2 update just in case, and I had about 200 photos outstanding. Plugged in phone, not recognized in iPhoto or image capture. Rebooted mac (G5 dual), reset iPhone, plugged in again, nothing. There were a couple of timeouts on the USB bus in the log that looked suspicious.
    I was now at the "grasping at straws" stage, so I grabbed the USB cable that was included in the iPhone box and tried that (I had been using the USB cable that came with an iPod). This was -really- grasping at straws and really hoping for magic, since the phone with the other cable was working fine syncing with iTunes....just not the photos.
    So unplugged the old cable, used the new one, and it worked. Freaky. To double-verify, I went back to the iPod cable, and it also worked now. Double freaky.
    So, who knows. But it might be worth a shot to try the original cable if you're using a different one. Switching USB ports maybe would help as well? Or just plug it in, leave it for a few seconds, and then unplug both ends of the cable and plug it back. Nothing makes much sense, but these activities apparently fixed it for me.

  • IPhoto not recognizing iPhone 5s

    Photos on my iPhone 5s are not being imported to iPhoto.  Device seemingly is not recognized.

    You might need to reset and/or restore the iphone.
    Here are a couple of articles from the iphone support website that might help out.

  • Image Capture App Not recognizing Iphone

    Using a MBP with 10.5 with most recent updates. Running iphone 1.14
    Iphoto does not import my pictures from my iphone. This is because image capture doesn't recognize it.
    I have read many posts about this and will let you know what I have tried so far.
    - Disabled auto syncing in itunes and image capture
    - deleted the plist for iphoto, image capture, and preview.
    - reinstalled image capture from original leopard cd using pacifist.
    - reset and rebooted both devices many times.
    I have an alternate install of OS X Leopard on an external USB drive which works well with my iphone and image capture, shows up right away.
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I have given up, tried everything I could think of, but I know the problem lies with image capture not recognizing the iphone.

    Already tried a connection without a hub, on both usb ports on the macbook.
    As for secondary software that might interfere, none installed to my knowledge.
    Well it looks like the mac quote of "it just works" doesnt work in my situation, I dont feel like booting to my second hard drive just to sync the photos. So I guess I will have to wait until my new macbook for a fresh install because I dont want to erase everything currently on my book.
    might try and install and archive next time I have some serious software issues and hopefully that will solve my problems.

  • Erased MBPro not recognizing iPhone/iPad

         I did and earase and istall on my MacBook Pro three months ago to solve a problem, it was a really good thing to do as I had been 'migrating' my stuff from old computer to each new ones taking junk along and collecting more. However I installed all applications with the discs or new downloads NOT from my back up. then I brought my files back in as needed.
         Now I'm up and running great and have my iCal and Address book in place I still have only Apps and Podcasts in my iTunes....NO MUSIC. I don't know which file to go to to restore that.
         The most puzzling thing is that when I plug in my iPad or iPhone they are not recognized! In my iTunes account I tried to Deauthorize in order to Re authorized but apparently I've done this at some time and I'm told I cannot Deauthorize until July 18th!  It says I have 2 devices already authorized but I don't know where to look to see what these are...I've used iPods too...they may be those.
    Any advice?  Thanks, Carolyn
