HT202778 Why is it that when I plug my iPhone into my computer and press "trust", it disconnects my phone and reconnects it, and still does not connect to iTunes??

When I plug in my iPhone, it connects and begins to charge, then asks me to "trust" the computer. When I select "trust", rather than connecting to iTunes, my phone gets disconnected and then it reconnects again and continues to charge but does not connect to iTunes... I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and I've also tried connecting my phone with different USB cables and connecting them into different USB ports... Still nothing is working.

That's how Apple set it up on the Mac.
There is a free application called iExplorer for Mac that allows you to view and copy files from your iPhone.
Hope this helps.

I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

What kind of computer?
On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.

HT4962 i got an ipod touch from a friend when i connect it to my computer it doeas not connect to itune store or open anything what do i need to download

I got an Ipod touchfrom a friend and when I connect it to my computer it does not open anything or acess the itune store. Where can I dowwnload new apps for it.

You should install iTunes.
Go and get it on the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have WiFi you can download apps directly from the iPod touch - go to the App Store application.

When there are photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, the iPhone is also recognized as a digital camera when connected to your computer or should if there is not a problem with the computer.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Working-with-digital-pictures
Whichever method you choose, Windows should automatically recognize your camera or card reader when you plug it into your computer (if it doesn't, see Troubleshoot camera connection problems or Tips for solving problems with USB devices).

I am at a computer that does not have my music library. I have a CD that I want to add to my iphone. The only music on this compi=uter is the new CD I just bought. Everything I do seems to suggests that my entire iphone library will be replaced

Hi istillFrustrated,
If you try to sync your device to a new computer that does not have your iTunes Library on it, then it will erase everything on your device and sync whatever is in the iTunes Library on the Computer you are syncing with.
You need to transfer your iTunes Library to the new computer, or you need to burn the CD to the iTunes Library on the computer you normally sync with.
Cheers,
GB

HT1766 An Apple consultant said I could get rid of itune playlist from my ipad by connecting the cable from my ipad to a computer that does not have songs from itunes in its computer. I was not able to do it. Any suggestions?

How do you get rid of itunes playlist from my ipad? I was told you can sync it back to a computer that does not have any itunes songs. It did not work.

I'm sure I don't completely understand the question.
How to get rid of an iTunes playlist from your iPad? Just delete the items while using iTunes. The next time you sync, they'll be gone from your playlist.

Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone. The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect.

When I plug any of my phones into the computer it does not connect. I can hear a beep but that's it. I checked all of my USB cords and the same results. Normally it would download my new pictures and start charging and that no longer happens. When I plug my wall charger in the phone charges.

In the networking window the Computer item does not appear

I have network sharing turned on but the Computer category does not appear in the networking window. Any ideas how to add this category to the network window in windows 8.1?????

Mfrakes,
It’s possible that you’re not seeing the computer category simply because there aren’t any computers to list.
Make sure that the computers you’re expecting to see are powered on and connected to your network.
Another thing to ensure is that network discovery is enabled.
In order to enable network discovery in Windows 8.1, start by right-clicking on the Network system icon in the taskbar notification area, then click on Open Network and Sharing Center.
Next, in the left pane of the Network and Sharing Center window, click on the Change advanced sharing settings link.
The next window that comes up will give you the option of turning network discovery on.
I hope this helps!

New iMac (10.9.4) & now my HP Photosmart 6520 "scan to computer" function does not work

Recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.9.4. Printing works well from this computer and all other devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.). However, the "scan to computer" function does not work. In the "Scan" section of HP Utility when I click on "Scan to Computer" the error message reads "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled. The software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
Of course I have done this... twice... still no luck. Also ran Software Update and there was an update, but it made no difference.

Yes, did all that... in order. It did not resolve the problem. However, I did find what appears to be the answer. After re-installing the driver software DO NOT immediately follow the prescribed steps. Instead, quit the installer, restart the Mac, and an Apple software update will appear after restart. Install that software update, and even though the computer and software do not call for it, restart the Mac again. Only then add the printer and follow the balance of the steps. It works! Thank you for your help.
