HT1476 iPhone 4 not charging or showing up in iTunes.

My iPhone 4 doesn't show up in iTunes anymore. It launches iPhoto but not iTunes. Also, it will only charge intermittently on an HP PC. When connected to any other charger, its home Mac or another Mac I get this message - "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I've tried several different cables and rebooting as well. Haven't updated iOS yet after hearing many horror stories from people who did with older iPhones.

I think I solved my iPhone 4 problems. Mac OS X v10.6 has issues with iTunes not seeing iPhones. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
Followed instructions from above link then installed latest version of iTunes. Restored my iPhone which updated the firmware and software. iTunes now sees my iPhone and my iPhone is charging from my Mac as well as from a wall charger. Hope the fixes hold!

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

My iphone does not charge or show up as a device in itunes when i plug it into my computer

I've never had a problem connecting my phone to the computer, but in the last two or so weeks I have been unable to sync or charge my iphone 4 through my MacBook Pro (OSX). The phone does not charge and it does not show up in the "devices" section of itunes. The cord charges through an AC adaptor with no problems and my USB ports all work fine. I have done everything suggested so far, including deleting podcasts, restarting my computer, restarting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

HT1476 iphone 4s not charging

I tired charging my iphone today but its not charging. However, the charging does work with my ipods. So is there fault with my iphone charging port? Help would be very much appreciated.

Since this is likely a hardware problem, make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

IPod will not charge or show up in iTunes

My iPod will not charge when I connect it to my computer through the USB cable. It does not show up on iTunes. Nothing comes up on the iPod screen at all. The iPod is completely dead. I have tried pressing the menu and center button at the same time. I have tried toggling the hold button. I have tried every combination. It is an old iPod (3 or 4 years at least) 80gb video. I have tried charging on another computer. It seems to only stop working like this if the battery dies completely.
Is there another solution to this besides the menu/center button solution?
Thanks!!

This is the exact same problem I have. The only thing that works for me is to charge it on an old ihome alarm clock. I bought the alarm clock at the same time as the ipod, and I haven't tried it on a newer ihome device. Once my ipod is totally dead, thats the only thing that will work. I even took it to the apple store and they told me all they could do was give me 10% off a new ipod and "recycle" mine. Before you do that, I would really recommend trying to charge it on an ihome or similar device. Here is a link to the ihome I used to charge mine: http://www.uberreview.com/2005/06/ihome-ih5-ipod-alarm-clock.htm
I hope this works for you!

Itouch not charging or showing icon on Itunes

I plugged it in last night and the symbol won't show the charging bolt. Nor will it connect to itunes. Any help?

I had the exact same thing happen to me. It just stopped charging all of a sudden. No charging bolt icon when plugged into either the wall charger or the computer. When plugged into the computer, it is not recogized at all as an USB device. So of course it did not show up in iTune. Whatever charge it had left, it got drained very quickly while the battery got very hot. Also, when plugged into the wall charger, although no charging bolt icon, it was being charged very slowly. The battery would even show 100% charged eventually, but it also got very hold while being charged. Since it wouldn't show in iTune, I could not even do a hard restore. Made an appointment with the Apple Store Genius Bar. It was obviously a battery issue, as one can feel the battery getting hot after just a couple of minutes. There was nothing they could do either since they could not even run any diagnostic test on it. They offered me to swap it for a new one for $79. I had it only for about 14 month, so it is out of warranty. This really *****, but what can I do? The battery was definitely dead, but there might be other issue too, since it couldn't be recognized by the computer. So I just handed them the money and got a replacement. Mine was a 2g. I was hoping to at least get a 4g replacement, but no. They still have 2g in stock. So that's that.

After I updated iTunes, iPhone will NOT synch or show up on iTunes

I updated iTunes last night and now when I plug the iPhone into the usb port nothing happens. I see the iphone light up with the full battery but no synching at all and nothing appears on iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled(itunes, apple mobile, apple software update, quicktime) counting this morning a total of 5 times. Still no sign iTunes is reading the phone. I also notice I cannot access the iTunes store or check for updates. I haven't even updated the phone itself yet. Any suggestions? Thanks guys and happy new year all!

your not alone. I have the same problem and nothing I do can get iTunes to see the phone. My iTunes works fine and has all the new rental features but no iPhone support.

my iphone is not charging i have restored it twice now and it still wont charge on the charger that i got with the phone. it sees that the phone is there and i can do stuff in itunes but it wont charge PLEASE HELP

If your iPhone won't charge with the power adaptor or when connected to your computer, do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?

Help

Plug it in a wait for 15 minutes. If the charge indicator doesn't show, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

How do i delete songs from my iphone when they don't show up in itunes? Swiping across the song on the iphone does not give me a delete button.

Hello audreywisc,
Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

My iPhone is not charging in my 2009 Infinity

My iPhone is not charging when connected to my 2009 Infinity. I'm getting a " charging is not supported" message on the screen. Funny thing is that my older iPod would sync and charge when connected. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?
Thanks

To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
But I think that this is a hardware issue. If this started after the battery has been replaced, bring it back to the Service Provider and let them check the phone, the replacement of a battery is also covered by a repair warranty.
