i have my iphone 5 plugged into my laptop but it wont connect with itunes, what do i need to do?

Have you tried reinstalling iTunes?
If this doesn't work maybe you have a faulty USB cable or drivers problems.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work.  I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop  I dont remember it being like that before.

    Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work.  Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice).  Also since I got it back from repair  my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to.  Frustrated

    awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

  • My iphone will not recognize any usb cables. I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced.

    test if it charges with an ac charger
    test if it's detected by another computer
    if it's no to both then likely the connector is broken
    if it's yes to both thne it's likely your computers itunes install which is the problem

  • I plug my iPhone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes.  Ive tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works.  My iPhone doesnt appear on iTunes or under "my computer." Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • IPhone plugged into laptop interferes with Bluetooth mouse

    iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1
    iTunes version 10.0.1.22
    Laptop is an HP Envy 15 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
    The mouse works fine when the iPhone is sitting next to the laptop, but not plugged in, so I don't think it's EMI/wireless interference. When I plug in the iPhone to the laptop to charge it or sync it, the mouse begins acting funny. There is momentary interference (for maybe a second about every 5 seconds) where the cursor will stop moving and the buttons on the mouse won't do anything. If I go into iTunes and click on the iPhone under devices, the mouse will sometimes lock up and eventually disconnect (I know it disconnects, because I have my laptop's touchpad set to turn back on after the wireless mouse disconnects).
    As far as I know, this only happens with the iPhone plugged into USB. I don't have many other USB devices to try it with. Though, I did try it with just a USB DVD drive plugged in, and the interference did not occur. Once the iPhone was plugged back in, the interference resumed.
    I need to be able to charge my work phone when at work, or I will miss important calls. Also, I need the mouse for better maneuverability since I use this computer to design circuit boards (CAD is impossible with a touchpad only).
    Any suggestions, other than the usual driver updates/reinstall (I've done that several times already)? Any help is appreciated.
    -Tom

    I noticed the same kind of interference that you're experiencing on my logitec wireless laser mouse. On top of that, I only experience the lag while my iPhone is plugged in AND while iTunes 10 is open (even though as of right now iTunes isn't even detecting my iPhone) I gave up trying to fix it myself.
    All in all iTunes 10 is full of bugs <.<

  • I used my friends iphone5 and plug into my laptop as new iPhone, so my backup data is deleted..??

    I used my friends iphone5 and plug into my laptop as new iPhone, so my backup data is deleted..??
    as for few days i start using my friends iphone5 and plug into my laptop as new iphone, but the question is the back up date which i took from my own iphone is still there..??
    and if i want can i back up that date now to my friends iphone as now i purchased that phone..??
    please help me as i think i have lost my backup and there were 1000 pics and more than 500 texts..

    Yes, iPhone is supposed to be associated with exactly one computer, and one computer is associated with one user's iPhone.
    So your backup is gone.
    But of course you still have your iPhone that was backed up originally, so it would still have all its content.

    Hello candymerna,
    At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Power/Battery
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

    iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.
