How to revoke "Trust this Computer"?
Apple gives instructions on how to trust a computer on your iPhone here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5868
But how can I revoke that trust if I no longer want my iPhone to share data with a particular computer?
No.
Take your iPhone into an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for advice how to proceed.

Hello,
I'm trying to switch my iTunes library from my work ( Lenovo laptop ) to my new personal MacBook Pro. My library is accessible from my iPhone and iPad so I decided to plug my iPhone into my MacBook Pro but by mistake I clicked "don't trust this computer" when I got the popup on my iPhone ... Anyone know how to revert that ?
and at the same time .. anyone can give me a good tip to easily switch my library from my Lenovo Laptop to my MacBook ? I want to de-install itunes on my work computer ( the Lenovo )
Thank youHi Rebekah...
This problem seemed to have worked itself out... Somewhere amongst these solutions...
1. Reinstall iTunes
2. Restart computer
3. Restart iDevice
It didn't at first, and I thought to myself... "Oh great, another problem which Apple doesn't acknowledge as existing", but don't worry. Give it a couple of restarts, and if all else fails... Create a new Windows Logon and try from there.
It just happens I was in the middle of reformatting my PC and resinstalling Windows 7, so it wasn't so much an issue when I wiped as it worked when I tried it on a fresh system.
Hope something helps... -
My Dell computer is not recognizing my photo album when I plug it in via USB. It keeps asking me to "Trust this Computer" over and over. How do I get this to stop?

Please help: It says 'Do you trust this computer' I press 'Trust' each time?! It doesn't connect to my laptop. Why?? I have tryed resetting all settings but no. Restarting it but no.
Hmm.. Maybe you should authorize your pc in itunes.
Here is how to do that:
Authorize Your Computer in iTunes
1. Download the latest version of iTunes that's appropriate for your computer from theiTunes website. Try to avoid signing up for Apple's newsletter.
2. Click the Store menu, and then select Authorize This Computer.
3. A window will prompt you for your Apple ID and password. Fill in the appropriate information, and then click Authorize.
4. After your submission, your computer will be authorized for playback, and a dialog box will indicate how many computers you have currently authorized to access your Apple account. If you have reached your limit, it's time to deauthorize another machine. -
IPhone with IOS "Trust this computer" keeps popping up
I have upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone, but when I now connect my phone to my car (ipod connectivity) it pops up with the "Trust this computer" box! but disappears quickly and then keeps popping up and disappearing. I don't even have time to click TRUST!!!!
After a couple of tries the car says there was an error and stops trying. What the **** is going on!
If no one knows, maybe you can tell me how to downgrade/restore to ios 7 as without this connectivity I can't listen to my music in the car?I finally fixed it! Don't know really how but here goes what I did.
You all agreed that before IOS7, by simply plug usb cable between PC and iphone that was it?!
Updated to IOS7, liked it a little, noticed slowness, but was fairly acceptable. My problem started when I was not able to sync my outlook calendar, contacts, etc. to my phone then I freaked out, because kept having this "do you trust this computer again and again when I clicked Trust.... got me crazy.
Someone told me to use iCloud. Did, but I can check my Iphone contacts on a website! not what I was looking for. Then I downloaded ICloud for windows, so I can sync (another procedure) to my outlook. Ran it, restarted, found that my wlan card was disabled, fixed it, restarted (anxious), when back, checked some changes made in outlook, more folders and buttons, but it seemed to work.
I plugged the usb cable and iphone to my pc and Viola! they synchonized!! via usb cable!!
was it the cable? the icloud installation? the rebooting? don't really know, but it works now...
I was this close to return to IOS6 by doing all those creepy steps, but it is ok now...
Please let know if it work for you guys!!
cheers!

I have a brand new iPhone 6 and brand new iPad Air 2. EVERY time I plug them into my MBP, I get a message asking me:
"Trust this computer? Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected."
I then hit "Trust", but the next time I plug either one in, I get the message again. I'm using Apple cables. It doesn't matter whether I plug them into my USB hub or directly into the MBP. The message comes up every time.
Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?As mentioned above, this problem has somehow been eradicated for me. I'm not sure exactly what fixed the issue for me, but I can say I did the following things - in this exact order - after which the issue was no more:
1) Installed the latest version of iTunes (11.1).
2) Ran a number of system maintenance tasks, for which I use the application "OnyX". In particular, I verified "S.M.A.R.T status" and "structure of volume", then verify/repair "System Permissions", then ran daily, weekly, and monthly "Scripts", then ran a rebuild of "LaunchServices", then ran a number of "Cleaning" tasks (including all "System, User, and Misc." tasks).
3) Restarted my iPhone, my iPad, and the computer used to sync these devices (my iMac).
I'm not sure if one (or any) of these things rectified the problem for me, but I'm sure delighted it's been rectified.
Hope this helps. -
Keep getting "Trust this computer?," comp. doesn't recognize photos
Until yesterday, when I plugged my iPhone 5C (ios8.02) into my regular computer, the computer would tell me how many new photos I had, ask what folder I wanted to put them in, etc.
Now, I get an error message saying that it doesn't see any photos on the device (even though they do show up in iCloud Photos on the Photo Stream, so they're there). At the same time, I now get a Trust This Computer? message on the phone every time I plug it in. I wonder if the picture error message goes up because I didn't click on Trust yet -- but I can't get to it before the error message comes up!
I did some looking around at earlier suggestions to many people with similar problems, and I noticed by searching my computer from Control Panel that my phone drivers were updated yesterday -- not by me, I don't think! So I think that must be what's causing the problem suddenly. So I went to Hardware / Drivers -- and the button to Update Drivers is grayed out.
So can anyone help me (a) turn off the Do You Trust pop-up for my regular computer , and (b) know how I can get the computer once again to accept the photos on my phone?
Thanks!

Trust this Computer - iPad/iMac Message Keeps Popping Up - HELP???
I see plenty of reported issueson this subject, but none that fix my problem.
iMac has latest OSX and iTunes versions, iPad is updated to iOS 7.1. I even tried reinsatalling OSX (thought I'd got away from reinstalls when I dropped Windows!!!).
But I still get bing, bing, bing, bing, bing ... and the "Trust this Computer" pop-up every second until I unplug the (original Apple) USB cord
Any suggestions how to get around this annoying problem - which may have started after iOS 7.1 upgrade.
Thanks!Hello there TedJ,
It sounds like your phone keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over until you unplug your iPhone from the computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254?viewlocale=en_US
Try the following steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.

4s Disconnects after "Do you trust this computer" prompt
Recently, I believe after the most recent iTunes update, my iPhone 4s will no longer sync up with my computer. Each time I plug the phone in it gives me the "do you trust this computer" prompt. When I tap yes, it disconnects the phone from the computer. At no point does iTunes see the phone, and I have been unable to put any music/podcasts on it. I have tried to use different usb ports, different cables, and repairing the Apple Mobile Device Software. Are there anymore suggestions my friends.
The computer I'm using is running windows 8. Let me know if there are any more details needed.

Why did I trust this computer?
Apple and iTunes,
Why did I trust this computer for iPod touch?Had the same "Trust" message pop up on my iPhone 4S. Also wouldn't appear in iTunes. In Windows Device Manager I noticed that the iPhone wasn't appearing in the USB section (should show it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"). That suggests the driver isn't loading or got corrupted. This link walks you through how to find and install the driver:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Scroll down to the section that talks about "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed". Took all of 2 minutes. Bingo. -
"Trust this computer" keeps flashing!
I have an iPad Air. "Trust this computer" keeps flashing on the iPad when plugging it into my MAC. won't let me select it. All "fixes" I read for for iTunes on a PC. I have not seen any posts for fixing this on an iPad Air to Mac-I iTunes.
My Itunes on the mac is up to date My OS on the Ipad air is up to date.
I want/need to back up the ipad into itunes on the computer but can't get there... I'm fearful of losing everything (mostly pictures) on the iPad.
Help is appreciated.I would download a fresh copy of iTunes from www.apple.com and install it over the copy that's on the Mac...that's how you fix itunes on the Mac...if you do that and it still does it it could be something going on with the iPad itself....I would first try a different cable...if that doesn't work I would try making a iCloud backup...I would then advised doing a restore...I wouldn't do a restore unless I made an iCloud backup because the restore will wipe the device to try and fix it

Every single day, I plug my phone into my same work computer.
The phone makes a really annoying alert sound, and says "Trust This Computer?"
I tap Trust This Computer. Every time.
Every few minutes it makes that sound and asks me AGAIN whether or not to trust this computer. I tap "Trust This Computer". A few minutes later it asks again.
Over and over and over and over.
How do I make it STOP doing that?this is a new security by Apple, due to some of customer do not want to syncronise with the computer they connected but they just wanted to charge their device. Here is what you can try to do, try to connect your iPad again using different cable, and please authorise the computer that you syncronise with
