  • IPhone 4 Won't connect to computer

    My iPhone 4 (ATT) running 4.3.2 has been working fine, it charges with the wall charger and cable just fine, then when I take the charger cable and bring it to my computer to update all my apps, I plug it into a USB (direct to computer, not via hub) and the iPhone doesn't show up on the computer, not even just to access my photos it doesn't show up at all.
    I've tried restarting my computer twice, restarting the phone twice, using different USB ports but nothing seems to work, my iPhone won't connect to a computer for some reason...
    Any suggestions?

    I too am experiencing this issue and have had no luck. I've cycled off both PC (windows7) and iPhone, disabling firewalls, and rebooting with device connected. I get a glimmer of hope with rebooting PC with iPhone connected because iPhone starts drawing power upon startup but iPhone still doesn't appear in device manager. If at that point iPhone is disconnected and reconnected it will not even draw power.
    PLEASE HELP!!! Dying to upgrade from iOS 4.3.2 to 5!

  • Iphone 5s won't connect to computer

    My phone won't connect to my computer or show that it's charging.

    Hello, brittanycates78. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to computer

    Whenever I try to connect my iPhone 5 to my desktop, nothing shows up. I've looked in device manager, but its not there. I've looked in my computer and its not there. It is not even charging. But whenever I try to connect my iPad, it works fine. It happened ever since 6.1 update. I can't sync my music over and I can retrieve my photos from my iPhone 5. I have tried reinstalling itunes twice and that didn't work as well.
    I have tried to use another iPhone 5 to try it out but it won't work as well. Can someone help me out here?

    I have tried everything that you suggested.
    I went all the way through this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 (I have Windows, not a Mac). I got to this point:
    When I get to step 8, it says that there is an error and that one of the installers could not install. Is this a problem with my computer that I need to like reformat or something?

  • IPhone 3g won't connect to computer or iTunes

    I tried connecting my iPhone to my computer today but neither the computer nor the phone show any sign of connection. Phone is 3.1.2. Comp is running windows xp media center, iTunes 9.0.3 (or something like that). I've tried doing a full uninstall and reinstall of the iTunes program package (QuickTime, mobile device support, etc) but to no avail. The phone does charge when connected to the wall charger with the same cable, so it's not the cable. Any ideas?

    Nevermind. Found the problem. The cable I was using was a third party cable that I got to replace the cable for my old iPod. Apparently, this cable worked to charge the iPhone, but not to transfer data. I just found the cable that came with my iPhone and tried that, problem solved.

  • Iphone 3Gs won't connect to computer after buying 4s

    I had the 3Gs for a long time and never had any issues with in connecting to my computer. I just bought the 4s to replace it, but I still want to use the 3Gs as an ipod. However, when I connect it to my computer it doesn't show up under anything. There's not even a charging symbol on the screen of the phone. I've tried 3 different cords, and none of them work when hooked up to the computer, but they all work fine when attached to the wall charger. How can I fix this?

    Suspect, it would be helpful if you found your original cable for 3gs. They all suppose to be the same, surprise they are not. Those other cables give you some of the functionality, but not all. Just my two cents.

  • IPod 4G screen is white, Won't connect to computer, wasn't restoring or in dfu. How to fix?

    iPod 4G screen is white, won't connect to computer(Even though it's plugged in) no restoring was in process at the minute, and won't react to anything(Including turning on/off, no DFU, no Restoring, Home and power button aren't doing anything) How do I fix it?
    Today, I was "screwing around" with an iron. When I pryed it open, (I'm guessing it must've hit my iPod 4G on the ironing board, I know, stupid decision) Next thing I knew, my iPod screen was white, or turning white, from an app I was in. I started freaking out because it wouldn't turn off or on. The sliding thing didn't even appear. I tried doing the "hold home and power button for ___ seconds" which didn't do anything, I tried plugging it into the computer, but the computer couldn't even tell it was plugged in. No restore or anything. It's currently white while I'm typing this... It's been about maybe a hour since it's been white. Any help or suggestions please? I'm not looking forward to taking it apart because recently I got the iPod fixed from when I had accidently shut it into the car door when it was in the pocket of my cardigan, which got caught in the door.
    The back has a big diagnol dent across it, and I'm at a young age and not very experienced with this field, so I'm not opening anything. Again, this would reeeaaalllly help if anyone could help me with this issue! Thanks!

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC

    My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC. When I plug it in to my PC nothing happens at all. My cord chargers on the charger so I dont think the cord could be the problem. Also I updated all my PC software, as well as my Iphone and still nothing. I tried plugging in my itouch to see if it would work and it does! So i think something with my phone is the problem! Please help!

    Hi,
    I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
    Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
    I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
    Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.
