HT1925 My computer does not recognize my Iphone

Greetings,
I have a window 7 computer, and a Iphone 4, and my computer will not recognize my Iphone.
This is after I backed up my old device and completed the startup of the new.
Any suggestions?

Mac, Windows, Linux?
If you have Windows, make sure you have run Windows Update, reboot, or turn off your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that is blocking the device.  The last one is what was stopping my iPod from talking to iTunes.

  • HT1386 I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed.  My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

    If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

  • HT201269 My computer does not recognize my iphone 5, or my two ipods.  Is there any easy fix?

    Suddenly, my New Dell PC desktop does not recognize my iphone 5 or either of my ipods.  I have downloaded the most recent itunes software.  My iphone and ipod software is all up to date.  I suspect the PC needs a setting adjustment. My device manager indicates that all of my usb ports are functional.  Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

  • My Windows computer does not recognize my iPhone.

    Hello. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop (Windows Vista) the iPhone does not appear in "My Computer." It does sync with iTunes. I searched around and apparently the fix is to delete and reinstall iTunes. Will I lose all of my music when I delete iTunes? What about videos, popcasts, etc?
    Thanks.

  • Must have OS 10.6.5 to be compatible to the iphone 5 but the computer does not recognize the device

    I downloaded OS X 10.6.5 in order to sync my new iphone 5 to my mac.  After doing so the computer does not recognize the iphone.  I switched the backup from iCloud to sync to the computer when plugged in but nothing happens.

    If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

  • Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

    Two problems:
    1. Extemely slow charging:
    - I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
    - When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
    - I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
    - I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
    2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
    - I have Vista 32bit
    - I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
    - I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
    - I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
    When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
    1. I get a message saying:
    "Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
    2. I get a message saying:
    "Installing device driver software"
    3. I get a message saying:
    "Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
    - I click on "check for a solution"
    4. Then it tells me:
    "Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
    PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

    The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
    If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
    If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
    Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:

  • Itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone

    itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone 4S
    also, once I plug in my iphone, it is recognized as a camera, but nothing to do with music.
    if i have to upgrade software, how do i do that?

    You get Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD if you have a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, or Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD if you have an Intel Mac. If you're using a G3 Mac, you need a newer computer.
