  • My iPad and iPhone will not charge or sync with itunes.

    My iphone and ipad both will not charge nor sync with itunes when connected to my computer.  They will not charge when connected to an outlet.  The problem started at the same time on both devices.

    Did you ever get an answer to this?
    Today both my iPad 2 & iPhone will no longer charge or connect to iTunes. It's so weird!

    try plugging and unplugging your connection 10-12 times.

  • 4G iPod shuffle not charging or recognized by itunes/windows

    I purchased the 4G shuffle less than two months ago. The battery ran out completely while I was listening in my car so I plugged into my laptop to charge battery. When I first plug shuffle in, there's a red light that shines for about 5 seconds and then nothing else happens. There's no orange light indicating that the battery is charging, nothing shows up on my computer and itunes. I've tried leaving it plugged to my computer for at least 30 minutes, tried plugging it into different computers and wall outlet, tried turning my shuffle off for 10 seconds then turning it back on. Nothing. I've called apple support with no answer. What else can I do?

    If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the Genius Bar there.  You should make a reservation at the store's web page, so you don't have to wait too long

    I assume you were able to previously charge it, or so everything worked before, but it did not work after it ran out of power the last time? 
    There's a one-year warranty, so if it's found to be defective, you should get a replacement.

    No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

  • Since installing new software update, my iphone 4S no longer is recognized by itunes

    I installed the new software update to my Windows PC and my iphone and now my iphone 4s is no longer recognized by itunes and I cannot sync.  I already attempted unintalling itunes and reinstalling it - it didn't work.

    Hello KatieJean123,
    It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Update iTunes
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version and its associated softwares:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

    I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

    Maybe it would have been a better idea to confirm that iTunes is supported in Windows 8 before buying a computer with that Operating System.
    There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
    Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there

  • I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar       
    Also:
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • HT1476 my iphone will not charge the usb that comes with the iphone is being used and it recognizes it but it wont charge

    my iphone is not charging i have restored it twice now and it still wont charge on the charger that i got with the phone. it sees that the phone is there  and i can do stuff in itunes but it wont charge PLEASE HELP

    If your iPhone won't charge with the power adaptor or when connected to your computer, do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?

  • HT201401 iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

  • My iPad is not charging via PC and iTunes on the PC (latest software update, both PC and iPad rebooted) - charges only via AC adaptor

    My iPad is not charging via PC and iTunes on the PC (latest software update, both PC and iPad rebooted) - charges only via AC adaptor - any ideas?

    The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

  • Iphone 4S not charging, has been on charge all night, its like it is frozen.  Unable to power of etc

    Iphone 4S not charging, on charge all night.  Saying it needs charging, frozen, unable to turn of etc.

    Try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    From the above Link  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    If the Issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
