    Well plug it in again, and then hold the "Lock" and "Home" button at the same time for about 10 seconds. See if that helps.

  • Windows nor iTunes does not detect my iphone when I plug it in

    Please help, when I first got my iphone 4, itunes and my computer can detect it. Then one day, it didn't detect it anymore. I have tried everything this website has to offer. I even called Apple tech support, and their final solution to my problem was to upgrade to Windows 7. That is BS. It use to work, but I don't know why it is not working now. I have tried all the 5 R's( reinstall, restore, ...etc), but still nothing.
    Here is a list of things I have done already:
    1) Reinstalled iTunes and all apple mobile software according to Apple tech support
    2) was on the phone with apple tech support for close to 2 hours, when finally, they recommended I upgrade to windows 7
    3) tried all USB ports in my computer with no change
    4) prayed to God for guidance and strength
    Please, anybody, please help me. thank you

    Hi. Just go a bit further by process of elimination which you've already started. Here's a couple more things you can try.
    1. Different USB cable?
    2. Try plugging into another computer just to see if your iPhone will get recognised then.
    If it still deosn't work then I can only assume that the handset itself has developed some kind of fault, in which case, just book a 'Genius' appointment at your local Apple store asap and get it replaced.

  • Why do I stil get a prompt to set up iPhone when I plug it in to the computer?

    I restored my phone from backup when I first purchased it last year.  Yet, everytime I plug it into my computer it prompts me to set it up as new or restore it from previous backsups. I have accumulated additional phone numbers and pictures so I don't want to do anything that takes those things away.  What should I do to fix the situation?

    Yo hold up. Try the settings i told previously. It worked for me.

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • When i connect my iphone to my imac itunes opens but my itunes is not there.  My wife has recently added herself to the computer

    When i connect my iphone to my imac, itunes opens but my itunes is not there.  My wife has recently added herself to the computer
    and her itunes appears but i cannot find my itunes?

    Not really! Anyhow, what do you want to achieve. The only things you can access in your iPad outside of using iTunes are photos and videos. [Locate the iPad as any other external device through Windows Eplorer or Finder and dig through the folders.]
    You are fortunate that iTunes opens when you connect the iPad since many other users have difficulty in achieving this. It is from there that you can manage what you want synced to the iPad.

  • When i click on my ártists' tab on my iPhone 4S nothing shows up, I have edited them in ínfo' and everything. How do I get them to show up?

    When i click on my ártists' tab on my iPhone 4S nothing shows up, I have edited them in ínfo' and everything. How do I get them to show up?

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
    If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.
