HT201269 how come all of a sudden my computer will no longer recognize my iPhone?

my phone was working fine, and one day i pluged it into my computer USB as i always do, to check updates, sync, and load pictures on my computer. well a  couple weeks ago, i did this as i did every day prior, and bang it doesnt work. went out and got a new USB charger cable thinking maybe i had damaged wires or somthing, but even then it still didnt work. when i took it to the apple store, they had no issues getting my phone to be recognized. I was also a bit  upset and disappointed that the person who set up the appt for me to go to the apple store (an hour drive). please if you have had hea                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Could be a problem with the USB port on your computer. Try a different port.
Also reboot the computer and reset the iPhone. To reset the iPhone press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • TS3274 how come all of a sudden, I cannot send/receive messages, but I can receive e-mails in my Ipad?

    HOW COME I CANNOT /SEND RECEIVE MESSAGES, BUT I CAN RECEIVE EMAIL?

    Sending and receiving messages has absolutely no relation at all to sending and receiving email.
    Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive SMS text messages.  It can only send or receive iMessages, which are messages to/from other Apple devices (only) on a WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessage.

  • All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

    All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
    I already tried the following:
    - I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
    - I re-started my machine. I didn't work
    Help! Thank you

    The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

  • How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo?

    How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo? My photos only appear when I (the administrator) log into the computer. I want my kids to be able to access them also.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • All of a sudden by kindle will not download books to my device.  they go to cloud and they just stay pending and you can't read anywhere

    All of a sudden my kindle will not allow book downloads from library or Amazon to my device.  They go to icloud and if you check they keep saying pending.  Can't read book at either location.  It show that I have borrowed/or bought the book but its not there.

    Ask in the Kindle forums, nothing to do with Apple or Mac.
