Connecting iphone with computer

Mostly when I connect my iphone with my computer itunes kicks in and syncing starts up automatically.
However, sometimes nothing happens. Ive even had a screen asking me to connect the iphone to itunes when it (iphone) is already plugged into the computer.
What is going on and can I force a syncing between the two?

Sometimes plugging and unplugging the sync cable from the phone will take care of this.

    Hi, Santosh..., and welcome to the Community,
    I would recommend testing the SMS reply forwarding to your mobile number.  Depending upon the results and if this works for you, you could then contact Skype Customer Service to cancel and request a refund.
    In other words, SMS will be received via your mobile number, not via your Skype Number.

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

    can i connect iphone with itunes on windows pc?
    and if i can, am i going to lose everything if the device is the fisrt time is connecting with this pc?

    Yes you can connect it.
    You will only loose everything if you choose to sync. If you don't then no.  But then you won;t be able to do much while connected, as any transfer of data  (music, movies, etc..) will require a sync.

  • When connecting iphone to computer iphoto always loads

    When connecting iphone to my computer iphotos always loads on top. how do I stop iphotos from loading

    When there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for these photos, and deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete will improve your iPhone's backup time. If you want any of the imported photos available on your iPhone for viewing, you can add the photos to an existing iPhoto album already selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync, or create a new iPhone album for the recently imported photos, select the new iPhoto album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

  • Going crazy trying to connect iPhone to computer/iTunes

    I had iTunes installed on my computer, and everything was fine. Didn't have a single problem with it. Then, when I got my new motherboard and processor yesterday, I reinstalled Windows 7, something I do any time I get a new motherboard. So I install iTunes, that goes perfectly fine. Load that up, and plug in my iPhone. First, it pops up with the driver installing for "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", which goes fine, and uses the usbaapl64.sys driver that the Apple site says it should. Then it tries installing the driver for "MTP USB Device", which fails. And iTunes gives me the error "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)." or "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "Jon's iPhone" becuase an invalid response was received from the device.". Varies from time to time when I plug it in.
    I run the iTunes diagnostic for iPhone/iPod Connectivity, and it passes everything except the last one "No iPhone or iPod found." It directs me to this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363) for help, which none of the steps help. I've also done everything on this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495), and no luck. Tried redownloading iTunes and installing about 20 times. Even downloaded older versions of iTunes. Nothing. Uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers. Nope. ****, I even reinstalled Windows 7 again to make sure nothing was messed up in the installation. No luck.
    I've tried Googling the error, and just about anything I can think of, and nothing is helping. If anybody had any ideas, it'd be great.

    Yes it is documented through forums well now. You may get 0XE8000065, or error code -6999, or error code -48 or combination.
    1. First and best fix is update your BIOS
    2. Some people have been able to switch from back USB port to front and it worked.
    3. Others bought a PCI USB card and installed it on their computer and then connected iPhone to that.

    You can't. You need a Mac with an Intel processor. You need a new computer.

  • ITunes quits when I connect iPhone to computer

    I just installed iTunes upgrade 8.0.2 on my iBook G4. iTunes opens when I click on it and and appears to operate okay. No crash. But when I connect my iPhone, iPhoto launches and iTunes unexpectedly quits. Every time. I cannot start iTunes, either, with the phone connected to the computer. This has never happened before, just started when I upgraded to 8.0.2. I have not upgraded my iPhone yet (because iTunes won't launch with it). My iPhone version is 2.1 Your help would be so appreciated!

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried reinstalling itunes, repairing drive permissions, etc. No improvement. Our ipod touch with v2.1 works fine, it seems to be isolated to the v2.2 upgrade I perfromed on my iphone. I'm running itunes 8.0.2. Help?

  • HT3819 sync my iphone with computer

    I am unable to sync songs from my PC to Iphone.. help

    It depends on what you want to sync. If it is music, apps, movies, bought from Apple's online stores then you can do this via the free iCloud service from Apple. You can also do this for photos.
    If you want to do iCal, Apple Addressbook, again you can do this via iCloud. If you want to sync to Outlook you need to do that locally, but if the account is an Microsoft Exchange account you can have the iPhone linked directly to the same Exchange account.
    If it is music ripped from CDs you have to pay for the extra iTunes Match service which then runs via iCloud.
    If the iPhone and computer are on the same network (the iPhone being on WiFi) then you can do WiFi syncing rather than having to use a USB cable.

  • Connecting iPhone (or computer) to TV

    Next week I'm getting wifi for the first time, a wifi router, new higher speed modem,  and one of these new 'smart wifi Tv's'
    I got the iPod Touch 4g and I got the mac-mini 2009 that can do HDMI or VGA out.
    The TV I'm looking at has HDMI connectins, component, RF (cable), VGA, Ethernet and USB connections.
    The question is: What's the best way to connect iPod Touch 4G and/or connect my computer to this TV? -- with either wifi (prefered) or cables.
    I might be thinking along the wrong tracks...since I've never laid these type of tracks down before.
    WHAT I WAS HOPING TO DO: Connect the iPhone and or iPod Touch 4G to one of these new 'smart wifi TV's' and be able to see what's on my iPhone, see it on the TV and use all the apps, etc. in a complete and normal way.
    OR, connect the computer to TV and do all my computer stuff on it (in the comfort of my living room; not office).
    BUT, ALAS, I'm getting the idea this won't work with the iPhone or iPod Touch 4G.
    But, Question: ¿can be done through cables or wifi with the computer?
    Re, iPhone: Problem is something to do with the iPhone not allowing 'mirroring.' so you can only see the screen either on the iPhone or on the TV, not both.
    Is that the problem/issue?
    There is an Apple product, the Apple Composite AV Cable - cost $39.00 USD
    that says it "Easily connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to the composite video inputs on a TV. The cable also features audio and USB connectors."
    at: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjAyNDI1OTU
    Right now it has 266 questions and 142 answers.
    The TV I'm looking at has HDMI connectins, composite, component, RF (cable), VGA, Ethernet and USB.
    What if I was to connect to VGA (somehow)?
    This 'smart TV' is only 'semi-smart,' btw, so not regular web browser, only 'widgets' that specifically connect to specific services/sites, like YouTube, Netflicks, etc. -- and I'd like to web browse and connect to others....thus use Safari on the iPhone....humm.
    Plus, I'd like to use the iPhone apps -- but no can do?
    OR >>>> NOW....I'm wondering....what if I just connected my computer directly to the TV...with a big long cable to Some I/O Port?
    OR >>>> More naturally...does wifi TV and my computer now with wifi router/modem somehow allow me to put what's on my computer onto this new TV.....then maybe I shold just get a wireless keyboard and I'd be in New Age TV Heaven

  • Connecting iphone makes computer screen go blank

    I've had my iPhone for a few months. Initial syncing worked fine. As soon as I tried to sync it a second time with upgrades, new messages, new apps etc already on the iPhone, it didn't acknowledge the iPhone in iTunes, and made the computer screen go black. It does this every time I connect the iPhone.
    Went to an Apple sales place, who restored the phone to factory settings, went home, synced fine. Again, next time I tried with all new stuff on the phone already, blank screen.
    Weird thing is, my iPod touch works fine on both this and another computer. iPhone has this issue on one computer (where all my photos and other stuff is) but not the other. It's almost like my Toshiba computer and iPhone hate each other!
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and also stopping and restarting the ADMS(?)....

    Hello mcroland,
    What make / model computer are we working with? What operating system?
    Anytime I hear of a computer screen going blank after running for an extended period of time my first thought is going to be heat.
    Open up your system and check it and ensure all fans are working properly and it is cleaned out. Remove all dust bunnies and thoroughly clean the inside of the computer with compressed air.
    Especially check any fans that may be located on or around the video card.
