HELP: Charging iPhone launches synch operation over and over on PC

I simply want to charge my iPhone. I have it connected to the base, connected to the PC. Every 2 or 3 minutes, the phone wakes up, pops-on, as if I have gotten a call or an email or something (even though nothing has happened), and the PC pops up a window indicating that it has suddenly discovered the iPhone is connected (it is doing this every 2 to 5 minutes!) - very annoying. I just want the phone to sit there and charge - I turned off the synch always setting, but the pop-ups and discovery every few minutes will not stop - HELP!

Hey Ron,
Make sure the iPhone is plugged directly into the computer and not into a monitor, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect any other USB devices attached to the PC, other than the keyboard and mouse.
If it has the same problem after being directly connected, try testing with the computer in a selective startup mode.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

Hi awison,
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes on your Windows computer you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

This may also resolve your recovery mode issue. If it does not, use the steps in this article to resolve it -

Same here. I tried to update my iPhone 5S and iPad 4 to 7.1 but iTunes wiped out them. This thing already happened for iOS 7.0.6 update. What happened to Apple? I am really curious whether Apple is aware of this problem.

Help, My iPhone 5s screen is frozen and I can't swipe or do anything...I can't even swipe to turn my phone off...What can I do to fix this problem?

Help!!!...My iPhone 5s screen is frozen and I can't swipe, I can't even swipe to power off...What can I do to fix this problem?
My home button is still working.

The first thing to try is a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

Help! iPhone 3gs reset went wrong and nothing helps

Is there anyone in the world that can help me?
The audio memo notes app was broken. Wanting to fix it, I did a soft reset. That didn't fix it. I finally did a full reset and it solved the problem. When I connected my iPhone to my computer it suggested that I reinstall from a backup. But as I did that, there was an error (probably because I wasn't connected to internet). My iphone is giving me the blue iTunes icon and usb cable image.
Now, whenever I try to connect my iPhone, iTunes tells me that there is an unfinished backup. It doesn't even give me the option of starting from factory defaults:
So in the screen capture, you see that it says I can restore the phone to factory settings by clicking on the botton.
It seems to work fine until it tries to validate it with Apple. At that point it gives me an unknown error 9:
Is there anyone in the world that can help me?

Thank you JayPe for trying to help! I'm hopeful again because of the ALT key tip. I looked all over the web yesterday, but you're the first one to mention that trick!
I've tried what you told me, but it doesn't work. I get a message saying the firmware isn't accepted by the phone. Any other ideas? An older firmware that would work for sure? I tried all the iOS 6's I could find to no avail.

Events created on iPhone NOT synching to Calendar - and I'm all up to date

I'm on a MacBook, running 10.4.10, all software is latest up to date, running iPhone 1.0.1.
I have a Calendar event I created yesterday for today (3pm appt). I've plugged/unplugged to sync repeatedly, iTunes reports sync is finished, but the event doesn't make it onto the MacBook's Calendar.
This is deeply alarming as I thought I could count on iPhone created events to migrate to my Mac and .Mac calendars - anybody know anything more about this?
-mike

I'm experiencing a hybrid variation of what everyone else in this thread has reported.
*Calendars*
I am using Entourage, and have two calendars set up in iCal. One is labeled Entourage and according to the notes, "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage" so I'm leaving that one alone. I also created a second calendar named "iPhone". I have my iPhone sync preferences in iTunes set to sync with both calendars. Up until today (I hadn't synced calendars in a few days), everything seemed to move to and fro without any issues.
This morning though, the items I changed in iPhone successfully synced to both calendars in iCal, but did not carry over to Entourage. Even the "Entourage" calendar in iCal reflects all the changes. Similarly, items I added in Entourage are not making it over to the iPhone.
In iTunes, I have the preferences set to add new events from the iPhone into the Entourage calendar.
*Contacts*
Contacts don't appear to be syncing in either direction.
Short story long, it looks like iCal and the iPhone are getting along swimmingly, but Entourage isn't syncing. I find this odd since the Entourage-created calendar in iCal looks fine - I would think if Entourage is showing as updated in iCal...then it would be updated in Entourage.
I did reset the sync history...that didn't appear to do anything helpful.
Entourage is my main calendar/address book...so this is a bit frustrating.

Help! iphone 5 was run over by a car.There are 2 apps that I REALLY need, to get on my ipad. I was able to sync even though the phone itself won't work, so there should be a backup on my computer. Is this possible? I need the info in the apps.

I kept a journal and my running bank account balance on the iphone. I am really at a loss without these. The journal was also my baby's eat/sleep/etc. log. Please help!!

If these apps are also iPad compatible, you can download them directly. Make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID that made the purchase. (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)
On the iPad:
Open App Store > Updates > Purchased

Help my iPhone keeps going from silent and vibrate all by itself is there a repair or download that will fix it

Help please my iPhone has started to jump between sound on to sound silent allby itself and when this is happening it vibrates is this a common thing or does it have to be repaired I have loaded it with latest download from apple but still the problem carries on any help would be vry welcome.
John

Sounds like a hardware problem with the mute switch on the side of the phone... no software can fix this.
If under warranty, take it in to Apple for a possible replacement. If not, Google for an iPhone repair center in your area.

I know my iphone is synched with Cloud and the app Find My Phone, however, how do I synch my mac IBook to Cloud?

How can I tell if my Iphone app in synched with my MacBook Pro in Cloud?
Specifically, the app Find My Phone

Im a new iphone user. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can see which devices are using find my phone at iCloud.com > Find my phone. If your MacBook isn't shown there, you should be able to add it at system preferences > iCloud, by turning find my phone on.

HT1414 PLEASE HELP, my iphone stuck on apple logo and i need my data

How to upgrade or restore my iphone 4 but to keep somehow my pictures and video, because my iphone stuck on apple logo. Already have 5.1.1 iOS on it. PLS what to do ???

Your data are already gone. If you don't have any backups either on a computer or in iCloud you are out of luck. The only option is to restore it from Recovery mode.

My iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help, my iphone 4 crashed (black screen) and now wont turn on or restore! help

i can put it into recovery mode but wont finish restoring advise please

Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You can try a DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on Computer, connect iPhone to Computer with USB Cable, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home Button until iTunes says it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds longer. If the iPhone Screen is Black, Blank this is DFU Mode, Restore the iPhone Firmware. If something is on the screen this is not DFU Mode. Keep trying to get DFU Mode, which is sometimes difficult even for experienced users. DFU Mode = iTunes says Recovery Mode and iPhone Screen is black, blank.
If your iPhone Restore results with an Error, write down the Error Number so you can look up the cause and the fix.

HT1212 My fully charged iPhone screen is black and not responding. what can I do to get it to work again? I have never syncd on iTunes. I connected to my laptop and iTunes app displays error msg saying phone is locked and unlock phone to connect.

My fully charged iPhone has a black screen and is not responding but has Siri and sound. I connected to laptop and iTunes gives error msg indicating phone is locked and I to enter passcode. but I can't enter the passcode because the screen is black. I have never syncd with iTunes. What can I do to get my phone back?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
