I got a new laptop this summer and now my iPhone 4s won't stay syncing to iTunes on it when I use the usb cord. What do I do?

I went from a toshiba to an hp laptop. My iPhone 4S connected to it originally but now i can't get it to stop connecting and unconnecting long enough for it to sync properly anymore. I've tried a number of different cores to get it to work but it doesn't change anything. What should I do?

Hello there, Jackienk18.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up a great checklist of steps for troubleshooting issues with an iPhone not being recognized by iTunes:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

  • A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection.  If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
    If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose.

  • I updated iTunes to 11.1.4 and now my iPhone 4S won't show up in iTunes.

    I updated iTunes on my laptop to 11.1.4 and now my iPhone 4S won't show up in iTunes.  I have WIndows 8.  My iPhone shows up there, just not in iTUnes as a device.

    Windows 8.1, 64bit
    It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
    I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

  • I tried to update to ios7 and now my iPhone 5 wants me to plug into iTunes, but I don't have a computer. What do I do?

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS7.2 and now it wants me to plug it into a computer. I do not have a computer, so I obviously can't plug it in. I don't know how to fix this.

    If you have the 'connect to iTunes' screen then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes - do you know a friend or family member who has a computer with iTunes installed that they would let you use, or you could potentially go to an Apple Store and see if they can do it (though preferably make a Genius bar appointment, don't just turn up at a busy time)

  • I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

    I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
    How do I do this?
    (when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

    Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said.  You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
    If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before.  You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer). 
    After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
    If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

    I want to be able to setup a generic corporate Apple ID to use with iCloud and Find my iPhone, that will allow me to have more than 10 devices assigned to the ID. How do I go about creating this account?

    I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this.  It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID.  If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account).  If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.
