Iphone 4 is neither recognized by PC not connected to the elec. pluge

Iphone 4 is not charging, I've tried 3 different cables and 2 adapters. the OS on my computer is win 7 and also I can not connect the Iphone through cable to my portable computer. Sure, Itunes can not be connected as long as the win7 could not recognize it.
Please help
is it hardware or software issue?
As I recently updated the ios to 7.1.2

Furthermore, it is charging only while it is turned off

  • Both my iphone 4s and my ipad3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. Why, and how do I fix it.

    Since 29/10/2012 my iphone 4s and more recently my ipad 3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. All I get is an error message saying that 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' I hadnt changed any settings it just happened. I have since done a complete re-boot on the ipad but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

    No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

  • TS4006 i have lost my iphone in barcelona when i was on holiday 3-4 days ago but my device can't be located! what might be wrong? if my iphone is still turned off and not connected to the internet won't be able to be located?

    i have lost my iphone in barcelona-spain a few days ago but i can't seem to be able to track it on the map? what might be wrong? if the device is turned off/not connected to the internet,it can't be located? i dont know what to do? i think location services were on!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • Trying to restore my iPhone and itunes says it's not connected to the internet, but my web browsers work fine

    I tried to restore my iPhone 3G and I get a message that I am not connected to the internet but, I can barouse on the internet with my search engins.

    It's hard to tell what password you are referring to.  But my guess is you are being asked for the password to the iPhone's backup you created in iTunes.  It sounds like you chose to encrypt the backup.
    If that is the case, the following applies:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

  • How to update my iphone when it says im not connected to the internet when i am?

    I know how to update my iphone but it says that im not connected to the internet, when i actually am?!
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • TS1814 iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet.

    I have attempted all of the above suggestions and am still receiving the same error message. I have also turned my internet security off and have received the same message. I am using a dongle for my internet, would this make a difference?

    Okay I haven't been able to update my iPhone ever since I updated my iTunes to the 8.0 version either! I just followed your instructions and changed the setting on my control panel and then asked to update and it started updating and after about 10 seconds it popped up with the same message that iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update because you are not connected to the internet. Check back or try again later or whatever. So I went back to the Internet Connections to make sure that my changes saved and they did but it still will not update my phone...this is soooo frustrating!!!! Please help!

  • My itunes will not connect to the internet for some reason,

    i can go to the itunes store but when i try to update my iphone it tells me i am not connected to the internet whats going on? anyone have any idea?

    I am experiencing this problem as well.
    I have access to the internet and can download songs from the music store but iTunes is being its usual pain in the rear and says I do not have an internet connection when I try to download any updates.
    This does not seem to be a firewall issue, at least as far as I can tell, as I have McAfee and both iTunes and iTunes Helper have Full Access in my firewall settings.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iphone 4s will not connect to the computer or charge when on

    Ok, so this one is kind of strange. I've had this problem for about a 10 days, and it's driving me nuts. The gist of it is that when I connect the USB cable to the phone and to either the computer or the electricity plug, nothing will happen. The phone will not charge in either, and when connected to the computer, neither iphoto nor itunes will connect to the phone (so no syncing podcasts or photos, grrr).
    For a while I thought that it was a hardware problem- it started first by not recognizing the electricity plug, and i could only charge it with the computer (i think since i upgraded it to iOS6 first, about a month and a half ago). At that time, itunes and iphoto were working, so i didn't mind. Then, it started to get picky and i had to plug it a dozen times before it would work. I was very afraid that I wouldn't be able to charge my phone at all- but I discovered that if the phone was turned off while plugged, then it would charge perfectly. If I plugged it in while it was turned off, it would start up and not charge nor connect to itunes / iphoto- so the phone is getting the charge and it knows when it's being connected, but only as long as it's in a coma .
    Here are the specs of what I'm using:
    iphone 4s
    iOS 6, latest version as of today
    Macbook 4.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz
    running OSX 10.6.8
    and iTunes 10.7 (21)
    And here's a bunch of things I've tried:
    - different cables
    - different computers (macbook pro running 10.8.1)
    - push start + off buttons simultaneoulsy for 30 seconds
    - connect via wifi (since I need to start with the cable, it doesn't work)
    Obviously nothing worked, and I would hate losing the pictures and videos in my phone that haven't been synced. Any ideas?

    You must use Apples iTunes in order to place ringtones or music of your own on the phone. You don't have an android phone which uses a sd card and can load via the usb cable.
    If you need info on how to get songs and ringtones and photos on your phone read the manual on your phone or read up at http://www.apple.com

    This is the error message I get when I try to sync with iTunes now.  I suspect the problem is that I replaced my hard drive on my MBP, but I can't find this particular problem or the solution anywhere.  Help?

  • My iPhone 5c won't connect to home internet. I have an Actiontec router and my phone shows that I'm connected but no IP address comes up on my phone and Safari and other Apps state that I'm not connected to the internet.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
    My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.

    I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer.  Try this: http://themiddleofthestreet.blogspot.com/2013/11/if-your-iphone-5s-wont-connect- to-wifi.html

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
