I tried updating to iOS 5 and now my computer doesn't recognize my iPhone 4.

When I plug the phone in, my computer doesn't even see that there is something in the USB port.  I know the port/cord are ok because I just synced last night (still using the old OS).  Now my iPhone screen recognizes that it's plugged in but it shows the USB cord and an arrow telling me to plug into iTunes.  IT IS!!!  Please help.  I have read through so many articles and nothing has worked so far.

Hey palmtree2001,
Lets see if we can get your iPod touch recognized and charged. Take a look at the first article to go over making sure the drivers are working properly to any third party conflicts. If you are still having issues with charging, take a look at the second article for some suggestions to get it working.

  • Just installed iTunes 10.6.3 and now the computer doesn't recognize the CD-ROM drivers

    I've had iTunes previously on Windows 7, but because I had it on my computer, the computer would not recognize my CD-ROM drivers, so I uninstalled it. I just downloaded iTunes again, and the same problem is happening again. Is there any way I can keep iTunes and get my drivers working?

    Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back?   I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

    hi, I update the iOS and now some app are in other language

    Did you change your credit card in itunes under your account to one from another country. That sometimes will change the language on your apps try This   "Click on your email address in the top right of iTunes to get to your account details, then click the "change" button next to your "Country/Region". Select a country for which you have (access to) a credit card. iTunes will ask you for credit card information when you save this country setting.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2007 and I installed Mac OS 10.6 but I lost power in the process and now the mac doesn't recognize my hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro 2007 and I installed Mac OS 10.6 but I lost power in the process and now the mac doesn't recognize my hard drive, how can I fix this

    I've tried it but since I'm using a USB disk drive it keeps freezing up or showing you a folder blinking folder with a question mark. (?). When I start the mac up I hold the control button until the Mac OS install disk shows up. My hard drive doesn't show up anymore. Is there any other button I have to hold down to bring a different menu up. I have also tried to boot up holding control and C and nothing happens.  Thanks for the help so far

  • I changed my Apple ID and now my iCloud doesn't recognize my new id. What can I do to fix the problem?

    I changed my Apple ID and now my iCloud doesn't recognize my new id. Can anyone help me with my problem? Please break it down for me, I'm an old lady. Lol

    To change the iCloud ID on your iPad you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.
    Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (open the my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • TS1591 i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone.  I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone.  My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarte

    i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone.  I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone.  My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and it shows up the apple and nothing is working. What can I do ?

    My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and now my iphone displays the apple and I can't use it. What can I do ?

    First, try to do a hard reset of your phone. (Hold down the Home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for about 10 seconds. When the screen flashes and the Apple appears again, release the buttons.)
    If that doesn't work, then you may have to put your phone in restore mode.
    Power off your phone and disconnect it from the USB cable.
    Close iTunes.
    Then press and hold the Home button and while keeping the Home button pressed down, connect the phone to the USB cable.
    Continue to hold the Home button pressed down. 
    After a few seconds, you should see the display prompt you to connect to iTunes.
    After that, you should be able to restore your phone from iTunes.

  • HT4061 i just tried to update my ios, and now the phone wants me to connect to itunes...i dont have a PC anymore. help

    i just tried to update ios, and now my phone wants me to connect to itunes. I dont have a PC anymore. what can I do?

    No, I'm sorry.  If you're seeing that Connect to iTunes screen that means the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
    If you can't borrow a friend's computer, you can go to the Apple Store and they will restore it for you.
