HT201253 iPhone 5c erratically connecting/disconnecting

Hi there. I'm trying to connect my iPhone 5c to my PC (win 8.1, USB 3.0) with the cable and as soon as I plug it in, it connects and disconnects like crazy, non stop. I tryied with another cable and it was the same. I tried with all the USB ports and it was the same (other USB devices are working). I tryied downloading the supercharger driver from the PC manufacturer (MSI) and it didn't work either. I can connect it just fine to other PCs running win 7 (not entirely sure about what sort of USB port those PCs have).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Brian

I used a back up but after restoring completely as in wiping everything from it. I did make a full backup before restoring. After reactivating it i resynced my backed up settings and apps. It definitely should be hardware related as being some time on this firmware everything was fine then suddenly 2 days ago chaos. What might be causing this though? I thought of the wifi receptor. But how can that affect time remaining the same if its not on set automatically?

  • My iPhone 4 was connected to my wife's iTunes account in error and then disconnected in the middle of the sync. I lost my phone contacts

    my iPhone 4 was connected to my wife's iTunes account in error and disconnected in the middle of the sync. I lost all my phone contacts and photos on my phone. Is there a way to recover them? I tried to recover from an earlier date and that failed. Any suggestions?

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • IOS 8.1 Erratic Connection to Phone Network and keyboard freezing iPhone 5S

    I have an iPhone 5s running on AT&T's network with IOS 8.1 running.  The phone has erratic connection to the cellular network.  I worked with Apple tech support and they sent me a new phone, but I still had the problem.  Resetting network settings works for a few hours and I have to do it again.  The keyboard also freezes as the phone connects and loses connection continuously.
    In complete desperation I erased all content and settings and refrained from doing a backup.  I'll let you know if it works.  Has anyone else solved this issue? It's concerning that this wasn't fixed in IOS 8.1.

    If the new device was problematic, then I would suggest contacting AT&T to check on a new SIM, or if there is a tower problem in your area. The other problem could be something in the backup, but you have addressed that now with the restore as new. I have not seen anyone that I am familiar with here experiencing this problem. I would not determine it is an iOS problem since there are a number of other reasons for this problem.

    At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
    More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
    You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it?  Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?

  • Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Jabber for iPhone force auto-connect

    Hello,
    Does anybody know if it is possible to force Jabber for iPhone/iPad to connect to a wireless SSID network as soon as it is available?
    We recently implemented Jabber and we are noticing that some times, users arrive to the office, where corporate SSID is available, but even if jabber is running on the background, it won't automatically reconnect to the network.
    User will have to manually open the application and wait for Jabber to reconnect.
    Is it possible to make this process automatic for the user?
    Regards,

    CUCM version is 8.6.2.
    Presence version is 8.6.4
    Jabber for iPhone & iPad is 9.6.2
    The issue is that if Jabber is running on iPhone's background, even if wireless connection is activated, it seems to disconnect. In order to reconnect, user has to manually open Jabber and wait for the connection to establish, especially to make calls.
    The same applies when a user is running Jabber, he arrives from outside to the company and wireless reconnects to corporate SSID. Jabber won't automatically reconnect until user opens the app.
    Regards,

  • IPod touch 4th gen stuck in connect/disconnect loop, will not charge on desktop PC, but is recognized fine by older laptop?

    I have an iPod 4th gen that up until the week before was connecting and charging fine on my desktop computer (running Windows 7(64-bit)).  Now, when connected to the USB ports on my desktop, it goes into this rapid and unending connect/disconnect loop, never staying connected long enough to even be recognized by the computer.  There is an error message that also says that charging is not supported by the computer, when before, things were fine.  Despite all the problems on the desktop, the iPod is recognized fine by my 5 year old laptop, which is running a simplified version Windows XP.  Halp.  I've tried everything on the iPod support pages regarding this issue, and would really like to avoid calling Apple about this.  Any suggestions?

    Try putting it is DFU mode:

  • Iphone won't connect to internet or send messages

    My iPhone won't connect to the internet at all nor will it even send SMS messages.  I've already tried resetting the network settings and that did not work.  Are there any other solutions out there for this problem? 
    Thank you!

    Your right....I can't believe it. I disconnected my phone from my wifi. Shut it down and turned it back on. Sent myself an email message and on the 3G network phone picked up message immediately.
    Now I am seeing if the 30 minute rule you had still applies here.
    What a mess...but I gotta say, Love the phone, better battery, amazing screen, faster....just a few things that are really important going wrong!

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

    So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct!  I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
    I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
    I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
    My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
    My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
    I hope you can help

    Well are you absolutely certain you know your password.  This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
    It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up. 
    If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password.  Theres other errrors for that.  Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password

  • IPhone won't connect to AirPort Express

    I have an AirPort Extreme in my living room that is connected by ethernet to my iMac. I use an AirPort Express to extend the signal from the living room to my room. In my room I usually use my MBP, iPad (iOS 5), and iPhone 4 (iOS 5). The MBP and iPad connect perfectly to the AirPort Express which I can see using the AirPort Utility but my iPhone just doesn't connect. If I go to the living room, it instantly connects to wifi through the AirPort Extreme but as soon as I go out of the AirPort Extreme's range it disconnects. How can I solve this? 3G in my room is horrible! My mom's iPhone 4 (iOS 5) also does not connect to the AirPort Express.

    When I option-click the wifi icon, it shows the time capsule is on 5GHz.
    Neither my wife's or my own iPhone 4S will connect to the Airport Express that is extending my TimeCapsule's network.
    It sounds like the AirPort Express is extending the 5 GHz network. iPhone(s) cannot connect to a 5 GHz network
    However, the iPad 2 will.
    iPads are able to connect to a 5 GHz network

  • Can not unmute iPhone 6 after connection to car audio

    I have a strange issue with iPhone 6, IOS 8.02. After the phone is disconnected from car audio it goes into mute by itself and I can not unmute it. The silent switch has no affect. The volume up button will unmute the phone but only while I am holding the button. The instance I let the volume up button go, the phone mutes itself again. The only way to get out of this is to power down and back up again.
    Did anyone see anything like that and have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi borisser,
    If you are having issues with unmuting your iPhone after having connected it to your car stereo, and have already tried restarting it with no resolution, I would suggest that you back up and restore the iPhone as a new device. See this article -
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device

  • Itunes trys to connect to my iphone when the iphone is not connected to the pc

    At first I thought it was beause I didn't "eject" the iphone from itunes before disconnecting from my USB cord so I reconnected the iphone and ejected the iphone from within itunes.  Once my iphone disappeared from the list of devices I disconnected my iphone.  However, everytime I open itunes, itunes trys to connect to my iphone when it is not connected via the USB.  I get an error message saying itunes could not connect to my iphone - Duh! 
    Any help would be appreciated!

    A backup of a device with a newer version of iOS cannot be retored to a device with an older version.  The solution is to connect to itunes and update the new device's iOS, then perform a restore.
