Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Carolyn,
I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
Many thanks

  • I updated my itunes for my ipad while connected to my computer.  now my ipad shows only the itunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  it is frozen and nothing works, HELP!

    I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer.  Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  Nothing seems to fix it.  What can I do.  All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad.  HELP!

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

  • IPhone not recognised by laptop (or connecting to itunes)

    My iphone has recently been repaired with a new dock (since the other was corroded with water damage and would not allow the iphone to charge at all). I got it back today and after updating my itunes, the softwarde on the iphone (to iO6.1.2) and the software on my Mac, but it is not being recognised when it is plugged in.
    I have tried connecting the iphone to two of my friends windows laptops, one of whoms says 'device not recognised'.
    I am wondering if this may be due to the repair that took place, but i don't see how that could be logical since my iphone is now charging fine when i connect it to the laptop. Is there anyway that the person who repaired it may have failed to repair it in a way that would allow the iphone to connect to itunes?
    Also, is there a chance it could be due to the new software update? My friend said he had trouble connecting his iphone after upgrading, but with a few restarts it worked (i've done this however and still no luck).
    Note: I have resarted the iphone (holding down home button and sleep button), tried putting it into DFU mode (but cannot do that since itunes still wont recognise the device), restarted my laptop etc.
    Any advice would be appreciated- Thanks

    This likely due to the repair, or other water damage not repaired.  The fact that the phone charges ddoesn't mean that all the dock contacts are working properly.

  • IPad and iPhone "not enough available space" after upgrade to Aperture 3.1

    Hello
    I was syncing lots of images no problem through iTunes/Aperture to my iPhone and iPad. After upgrading Aperture to 3.1 both devices report "not enough space" during the sync and have substantially fewer albums and photos on them than before. What the **** has happened? Now the pictures seem to take up much more space.
    Anyone else finding this?
    Thanks
    Nico

    I get to this step in step 5 but I dont have the file/directory
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Where can I download the needed file? I think it is called usbaapl64

  • N91 not recognised by PCSuite after upgrade.

    The first time I installed pcsuite it work fine but as soon as the upgrade notice appeared which I followed and updated the pcsuite, the phone never recognised again.
    I'v followed various instructions posted here but no luck. But because it previous works, so I think the problem should be relied on the compatibility of current version and the latest version.
    So I am here to ask if there is any way to clear all the pcsuite data (including reg. and all files anywhere), like it never been installed before? Thus it should work again.
    p.s. the pcsuite cleaner can not clean all the unwanted relevant data.
    my system: winXP pro sp2
    pcsuite verson: 6.80.22
    connect via cable
    Thanks!

    after unstalling pcsuite and use the cleaner clear out, I can still find something in REGEDIT, like the structure Nokia and PC Suite in it.

  • IPhone not recognised in My Computer, but is in itunes

    About a week ago my iPhone just stopped being recognised in My Computer. Before this it was fine, it would recognise and I could move ohotos from my phone to an external hardrive. All of a sudden its not showing up there though?
    It is recognised in iTunes and charges when attached. It even has the 'beep' sound it usually does when it is recognised.
    I have tried a different cable, different usb port, enablibng and reabling the driver as per Apple site.
    I have the latest updates on iTunes and my iPhone 4.
    I tried it on an old computer I have and it is recognised there and I can transfer photos on that for now until I can get this issue sorted.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
    Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2011 not recognising Ethernet Adapter after upgrade to Mavericks

    Hi everyone
    I updated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (I deleted all the files and made a fresh install), but since then my Ethernet adapter stoped working! when i see the system report i find this information
    i've tried reseting PRAM and others and didn't result in anything
    when i go Networking Settings i don't find anything related to Ethernet Adapter

    Ok. Thought I would check just in case.
    We could try to remove the System Configuration which includes lots of setting files that relate to networking.
    If you want to do this then go to Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences and there will be a folder at the bottom called System Configuration. If you delete this, (type in your password to confirm your sure you know what you're doing) and then you need to restart the machine.
    The reason for the restart is that when your machine starts back up it looks for the system configuration and because it isn't in folder we just deleted it from, your Mac creates a new copy of it.
    Give this a go and let me know.

  • IPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.

    My wife has an iPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.
    Please help.. This has become a pain.. and of course theres no way to go back to iOS 6.

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then... Restore as New (not backup) and Re-Sync your Content.

    i have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    When I went to reload my phone it gave the option of restoring with icloud or itunes so i chose itunes (assuming icloud would have many more bugs). Afterwards, I had no music and 6.6g of other.
    What I did was go into itunes, clicked my iphone 4, and clicked on each of the top tabs (summery, info, apps, ringtones, music, etc.) and ensured I had them all clicked onto sync/selected playlist etc.As my phone restored, the 6.6g of other dropped to .99g of other.
    Unfortunately, all my songs are gone but everything else seems to be in tact. I don't think there is any way around this issue for now with the new ios 5 update when syncing either an ipad or iphone. I have an ipad 2 but am going to hold off on updating it until apple gets the bugs sorted out because, I'm sure you will agree, getting the music back to where you want it to be is a total nightmare and takes ages to not only pick the right songs and artists to put on it, but also the ones that will fit correctly with the space, depending on the size you have. 
    I hope that helps.

    I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."
    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.
    iOS and Yosemite
