Hi Any time i plug mt iphone 4 in i get message usb device not recognized what can i do to fix this i am runnung Windows 7 and my phone is dead

Hi, whenever I try to plug in my iphone to a computer it says, "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED". I just want my phone to charge because it is dead. Ive tried to charge on my xbox, nothing. Tried a different charger, nothing.

Try cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone. Use a magnifying glass to see what is stuck inside, a dry toothbrush and/or wood or plastic toothpicks (nothing metal). If that doesn't resolve the problem your phone is broken.

  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

    Hello ematy,
    And welcome to Apple discussions!
    I don't have very many suggestions for you except maybe take a look at and try the suggest troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document.

  • I play KOC on fb and everytime I refresh I get this: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. What can I do to fix this?

    When playing my fb game KoC I need to refresh a lot and every time I do I get this message: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How can I disable this message?

    Just give us a means of opting out if we don't care about POST data; or opting out for certain web sites. We have an application that I use hundreds of times a day at work and as a result, I get that message hundreds of times. Opening new tabs doesn't help because I'd have to open numerous tabs, and then it takes time to figure out which tab is the "back" tab.

  • USB device not recognized ... any help ?

    Hey guys,
    So i went to plug my iPhone 3G into my PC running Windows Vista and it comes up with the error message,
    "USB Device Not Recognized
    One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
    Last time this happened I uninstalled the USB Root Hubs on my computer and when they reinstalled my iPhone connected, but it has happened again and this method no longer works.
    I've tried restoring my phone, turning it on and off, i tried stopping my computer from turning off my USB ports but to no avail...its getting very frustrating because i can't sync my phone
    ANY suggestions would be great PLEASEEEE!

  • "USB device not recognized" when ipod plugged in???

    (ipod mini 4gb)
    When I plug my ipod into my laptop I get the message: "USB device not recognized." It says the device has malfunctioned!!! If I click on this error message it says my ipod is an unknown device and no drivers are installed for it???
    It was working fine until a few days ago. If i reset it I can charge it up but that's all, it still does not appear in itunes or on my computer.
    I've tried eveything on the help website but nothing works! Can anyone help?!

    ok my question is do you have a mac or windows based laptop
    here is why and what happened to my ipod mini
    my ipod mini was connected to my macintosh charging while i was using my imac and it came up with a system update 10.4.3 i installed it and finished installing it and afterwards my apple wouldn't recongnize my ipod mini or even display it one the screen i found out by myself that when the apple update got to the end of the update it installed new hard drive drivers but also installed the drivers on the ipod mini which locked out the mini's internal hard drive and my mini then stop responding it would play music and charge but wouldn't connect to the computer
    so what i did to fix it was this
    i went into utilites in mac os x tiger or any version of os x has this and selected disk utility you will notice that the ipod will appesr in disk utility but not on the desktop this is due to a recent system update driver that isn't compatible with the internal drive on the ipod mini so in disk utility just select format the drive in a mac os partition standard works the best it will then format the ipod and the ipod will apear in the desktop again but not as a ipod let me explain when you format the ipod using the disk utility it formats and even erases the firmware of of the hard drive on the mini so when you are done formating the ipod run the ipod updater to reinstall the ipod's operating system and presto your ipod will now work again
    warning: i don't know how to fix this on a ipod in windows so if this is a windows based laptop you need to find someone witha macintosh to do this with sorry

  • "USB Device not Recognized" when shuffle is plugged into computer

    Everytime I plug my shuffle into my Dell laptop it comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The shuffle doesn't show up in my computer or itunes. I've done some of things that it says to try, but I'd really like to get this fixed and get my shuffle working. Typically when I plug it in, it blinks once, yellow/orange, and then no more, and the notice comes up on the computer screen. If this makes a difference, the shuffle worked fine until last summer when my hard drive crashed. Upon installing a new hard drive, the shuffle began to not work/sync with my computer as it had been before. Any suggestions on how to get my shuffle working again? Much appreciated!

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

  • USB Device Not Recognized when Iphone connected to PC

    Hello,
    Every time I connect my Iphone 4S to my PC I get the error "USB Device Not Recognized". I did not have this problem before. I tried uninstalling Itunes and all its components and reninstalling it, restaring my computer, restarting Iphone and I even reset all the setting on my Iphone. I connected my wife's Iphone 4 using the same cable and PC and connected and started syncing with Itunes right away. If anyone has any pointers on how to fix this problem, any help will be much appreciated.

    try reseting the phone
    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • USB device not recognized for iphone

    My iphone 4S had an issue and was sent away for repair and in the end it was replaced. I backed all my Apps up to ITunes before sending it away.
    I tried plugging my new Iphone into my laptop and it comes up with the error "USB device not recognized", although it worked fine before I sent the phone away.
    I went to my device manager and found the device, however it says Unknown device and when I try to update it is says that this is the most up to date version.
    I uninstalled ITunes and reinstalled it which made no difference. ITunes also does not find the phone.
    I also removed all the Apple programs on my laptop and then tried to connect the phone again but this made no difference.
    I have restarted the laptop and this also made no difference.
    I called the Apple help line and they can not work it out and suggest I take the phone back to the shop to be checked.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program?  Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

  • TS1538 iphone 4s USB device not recognized

    I've not had any issues until now.  I'm on a 64bit Windows 7 PC.  Iphone 4s. Recently transfered pictures from the phone to the pc.  After that time it will not recognize the iphone at all.  I get the error "USB device not recognized."  I followed the article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538  but it's still not working.  I have done a soft reset on the phone and a hard reset, no dice.  The phone connects fine to any other computer except this one.  I have also attempted to delete all device drivers and reinstalled them to no avail.  Please help!

    Hi and thanks for replying.
    Yeah I have gone through that help article and unfortunately nothings worked. It just seems odd that the computer would recognise it in some way but not properly, which made me think it might be to do with software rather than hardware, but I see your point in that it probably is a hardware issue. I would have liked to get a newer one however I am already in a contract which I don't have the money to cancel and I managed to get the 2g very cheap. It would be fantastic if I could get this one going!
    Thanks a lot
