Frozen iPhone in USB ****

My attempt to upgrade my 3G iPhone went very badly. During the download my USB hub reported that the iPhone was drawing excessive power. I disconnected it and plugged it into a different (non-hub) port. iTunes recognized it and prepared the phone for the download. Now all the phone does is to display a picture of a USB connector on the front, and the computer won't recognize it. If I plug it into another USB port, the system looks for a driver (which it can't find). I've tried rebooting and reloading iTunes. What next ... role up my sleeves and crawl into the registry? Is there at least some way to restore the phone while I sort out the USB problem?

The iPhone presents a different USB ID in recovery mode than it does in normal operation. The USB hub overload that occured during the upgrade caused the computer lose its ability to recognize the recovery mode ID. I was able to verify this by plugging another iPhone into this computer (the normal USB ID of which was recognized) and plugging this iPhone into a different computer to complete the upgrade (which proceeded normally). Until I resolve the underlying problem in the Windows Registry, I'm not going to be able to use the original computer to apply any further upgrades. I haven't tried syncing the iPhone with the original computer yet, and I'm not sure how well that is going to go.
Although this is a Windows problem, I have to fault Apple for the behavior of the iPhone. The current consumed by the iPhone shouldn't exceed the capacity of a powered USB hub. They should at least provide a separate recovery-mode USB driver file that those of us stuck in this situation can use to recover. In the mean time, does anyone know how to search the Windows Registry for the key associated with the iPhone in recovery mode, and how to clear it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a frozen Iphone 5

I have a frozen Iphone 5 that won't reset after pushing both buttons and Itunes doesn't recognize it.

Hey MaryRN,
Thanks for the question. If your iPhone does not respond to a reset, let's troubleshoot to isolate the issue to power/hardware:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

Using iPhone as USB drive and/or USB sync options?

I'm afraid I know the answer to this already, but is there anyway to connect an iPhone by USB to mount it on the desktop? Or, options to allow software to sync between iPhone and Mac desktop version of apps by USB rather than requiring both to be on the same wifi netwok?

Actually, I think it does. However, it appears there is no way to access these files within the iPhone itself. So, my next question will be about any document/file reader for the iPhone that can access any folder on the iPhone itself rather than just the apps predefined folder (ie; AirSharing which is great, but requires wifi and only accesses it's own folder). Not sure if Apple prevents this due to the "sandboxing" of apps. Also, seems the application you mention actually creates it's folder within the media folder of the iPhone... that's not a "no no" per Apple? It's strange there is a way to create folders which can't be viewed by any app on the iPhone or folders by iPhone apps that can only be viewed by that application. Seems very disjointed compared to a desktop OSX drive... perhaps to be expected given that it's a young platform (the iPhone, that is). Any suggestions on a way to mount via USB, then view on the iPhone?

How to use desktop internet in iphone using usb cable

Not possible. The USB connection only allows for data transfer between the computer and the device, it cannot function as a gateway to the Internet.

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPhoto does not sync with iPhone over USB anymore

I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) on OS X 10.8.2 and an iPhone 4S (now with iOS 6.1.2).
A few months ago when I connected my iPhone over USB iPhoto would start and do the expected workflow as it still does when I connect any other camera: Import the new images and delete them on the iPhone.
Since around I installed iOS 6 on the iPhone iPhoto will not start anymore when the iPhone is connected. When started manually it will show the iPhone but not recognize any new images.
I don't (want to) use Fotostream.
I have looked for other answers and the usually suggested restarting / resetting has not helped.

Main drive apple powerbook
Have tried changing libraries to backups on external but same result. They work but not recognized by other programs. All are named iphoto library

Computer reboots immediately if I connect my iPhone via usb or craddle

When I connect my iPhone to my computer, windows xp sp2 pro immediately starts detecting the iphone, at which point my computer reboots - everytime! I read online that the phone has issues with Intels RAID matrix software, and I should upgrade to 7.8 - did that. I also read that I should upgrade all my usb drivers - did that. I still have a condition where it reboots (ugly) immediately when I hookup my iphone via usb or craddle.

mimckee,
Do you have a webcam built into your monitor? If so, is it a Logitech or based on Logitech hardware? This article discusses an issue that can occur with older drivers from Logitech or for other imaging devices that try to treat the iPhone as though it is one of their webcams:

Frozen iphone 3g - fix?

my iphone 3g froze today - home screen was blank except for the top bar (at&t logo, time, battery charge) and the screen was completely unresponsive.
following the instructions here (EXCLUDING the full reset) did not help:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
so before doing the full reset...i let the charge on the battery run down completely, then connected it to the charger and in due course the iphone rebooted and all is ok.
i see quite a few "frozen iphone" threads here...maybe this will be of help to someone.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all three of these.
