Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

I have a windows 8.1 PC.  I use it for work.  I also have an iphone.  Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1.  During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged.  The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%.  It was 100% before I started the update.  There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol.  I disconnected the phone from the computer.  I plugged it into the apple wall charger.  It charges from that.  I tried another apple cable on the PC.  Still no dice.  I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC.  When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device.  I did try re-starting the PC.  I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable. 
Why is my iphone 4G w ios 7.1 not charing when connected to my Win 8.1 PC?

I found the solution on my own. I opened task manager, admin, computer management, device manager.  I scanned for harware changes.  Apple mobile device came up with an ! symbol.  I right clicked and updated the apple mobile device driver. It took about 15 seconds, but...
I never had to do this with any computer on my iphone 3 or 4G on any computer.  Would have been good to know, apple.

    My iphone 4s will not charge from my new computer any ideas?

    Fault with new computer's USB port - does it work with other devices? Have same problem on another computer?
    Fault with cable - Tried another cable? Does cable work with other "idevices"?
    Dirt in iPhone charging port - look and clean out gently with soft dry toothbrush or similar
    Fault with iPhone - reset / restore
    Take your choice.

    Ebay is not an official reseller.  Return it if you can for a refund.
    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Iphone 5s battery drains fast after ios 7.1 update.

    Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing this? My iphone 5S battery seem to drain much faster than usual, and charge longer. I heard that the new update is supposed to increase battery life, and read comparison threads regarding other iphones that are capable of a much better battery life than mine.
    I've had my phone for 3 months, never have dropped it once or anything of the sort, if that matters. My battery drains to 50% within an hour or so after intense use on the lowest level of brightness, and I seem to lose about 5-7 percents when on standby for 5 hours or so. Is this normal? Is it perhaps due to the fact that I am mostly using 3g, and applications that require more processing such as tumblr (graphics and gifs) as well safari? I'm just worried that my battery may be draining to quick, despite the update which's supposed to make it much better according to many people.
    Thanks.

    Me too.
    I went from plugging in to charge at the end of the night, around 11pm, to barely getting through a workday with very light use.  With less than 10 hrs of standby and maybe 30 minutes with the screen even on I am rocking 15% battery life.  I'm also connected to wifi whenever at home or in the office, which accounts for over 9 hours of the standby time.
    I know people are suggesting turn off features... but eff that, 5 days ago I'd get through an entire day without any issue, under much heavier useage.  I don't want to have to turn on bluetooth everytime I get in my car and back off when I get out, I just want it to work when I turn the car on... I don't want to manually check for emails, I want it to tell me when an email comes. 

  • WHY WONT MY IPHONE CHARGE!?HELP PLEASE!?

    Soo I've had my iPhone 5 now for a little over a month.. Everything was cool, but tonight my phone won't charge!! It's Dead now , I've been SO careful with my phone . So I know I didn't tear it up .. When i noticed it wasnt charging At first when I would jiggle the cord around it would charge , but now it's not doing anything .. It's just completely dead 
    Can someone PLEASE help?????????

    Hi - if the cable fits tightly at each end then it sounds like you have a defective cable - it is still under warranty so I would start by contacting Apple and see what they say - go to - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ - when you do get a new cable, be sure to let the phone charge for several hours before you turn it on because it does not work directly from the charger.

  • Why wont my iPhone 4 sync certain playlists? iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes 10.6.3

    Hello!
    Recently, my iPhone 4 wont sync any new playlists. When I tick the box for the playlist I want to sync, the data boxes move and the song count increases, but when I click sync, it does nothing and the playlist isn't visible on the iPhone.
    So far, I've completely wiped the iPhone (doing a full restore) and tried to sync from scratch, but it seems only to be syncing the ones I had on already before I wiped it, which is very odd. Any ideas anyone?

    Well, you have to minimally upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    But this costs money, so you can't do it. That means your are stuck where you are.

  • My iPad 2 Wont charge from my PC after 5.0.1 update! Any ideas as welcome?

    Recently updated my iPad today and and then tried to charge it from my PC,. Walah, it doesn't charge anymore! I've use several usb slots and restored the iPad but still getting nothing! Anyone experiencing the same problems? £650 ***?

    Even if it says 'not charging' it likely still is, just very, very slowly.
    Most USB ports are not capable of putting out the 10W taht the iPad needs to quickly charge.
    Are any of the USB's you tried a hub? the iPad didn't care for them before, likes them even less now.

  • My iPad won't wall charge or charge from a computer after ios7.1

    Please help. I cannot get my iPad to charge. What are possible things that might have lead to this and how can I fix it?

    Are you using the original cable and charger? Have you tried using that cable to charge via USB?
    Can you try using that cable to charge someone else's ipad and seeing if that works?

  • Why does my iPhone 4S not have sound after iOS 6 update?

    After I downloaded iOS 6 I restarted my phone and when it came back on now sounds would play. I have restarted phone multiple time sound will not play and sound bar will not display anywhere.

    I have an iPhone and an iPad Mini, but I only had the problem on the iPad Mini but this fix may work for you.
    This is what I posted in another thread:
    I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me on my iPad Mini.)
    I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...
    Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct.  You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.
    Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button).  After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

    Thank you very much for your support.

  • IPhone 5c stopped turning on after IOS  8.1 update.

    2 days ago i decided to update my iPhone 5c to IOS 8.1. There was no noticeable issues with the update, but after attempting to use the phone, i did notice that the phone was not powering on. I've contacted apple support, and have done all the trouble shooting steps with no luck; however since i am no longer under warranty, apple refused to provide me with the repair without paying a $260 fee.
    Anyone have another solution to this problem? And am i wrong for thinking since it happened right after the update, apple should be responsible to fix this issue?

  • IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....

    I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?

    You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!
