IPhone 5c, using PC....usb won't read iTunes or charge phone

I am using a pc and I have an iPhone 5c...when connecting to my usb to sync/charge, nothing happens.  No beep, no iTunes, nothing.  I have 3 usb ports and all are working, I have tried a mouse and a printer and they all read.  Any ideas?

Honestly, I have owned every iPhone since the 3G and I don't back up or sync often.  But I would say just recently I haven't at least been able to charge it when plugging up.

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

    Is it safe to use the USB port in my car to charge my iPhone 5s or do I need to buy a car charger?

    Check car manual to see if it supports charging ,some do not
    or use a USB 12 volt plug in for the "cigarrette lighter" socket and plug into that ,probably a better solution

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • Is it safe to charge an iPhone overnight using a USB port on a surge protector?

    I just bought a new surge protector that has two USB ports built in. I know it is safe to charge an iPhone using the USB ports on a computer, and it is safe to charge an iPhone using the supplied power adapter. However, I have heard that the supplied power adapter (the brick) that comes with the phone automatically stops charging the iPhone when it reaches 100%. I normally leave my iPhone charging overnight. So my question is, would it be safe to charge my iPhone overnight via the built in USB port on my new surge protector? Or should i continue using the power adapter that it came with?
    This is the surge protector i purchased.

    Yes, it's safe. The phone is actually what stops the charging.

  • Can two iPhones be used under the same email on iTunes and copy music to both phones?

    My family and I just all got the iPhone 3GS. i already had an iTunes account because I had the iPod nano, so now that i have the iPhone as well all i had to do was put in my e-mail on my account and most of the songs were synced to my phone. However, my mom (who has the same phone) was wondering if it's possible for both of our iphones to be registered under my account on iTunes. If so, how do I do it? If not, is there any way I can sign out of my account but transfer the songs i already have to my mother's iTunes account on the same computer? She made her account the day we got our phones but does not have any music since this is her first time using iTunes.
    Thanks for the help!

    Absolutely. If you share everything, including music, calendars address books, etc., you can sync both phones to one iTunes/iCloud account.  If on the other hand you want to have separate music libraries, calendars and such then you will need to set up separate accounts.

  • HT1386 I plug my IPhone up to the usb and click updates before I back phone up and all my contacts music notes ring tones photos Apps and pictures were lost. How can I get them back?

    I plug my IPhone 4G to my USB which was plug into my computer I click update before I back my phone up and lost all information that was plug into my phone.
    Music, Apps, text message, Photos,  Contact List, Notes Pad information. How do I get these Items back or can I?

    If you backed up the device, you should be able to recover it from the backup unless you somehow deleted the backup.  See if it isn't recognized by iTunes, then restore it from backup.

  • My iPhone turned itself off and won't come on or charge, after I already restarted it once

    My iPhone 5s has turned itself off and won't come on or charge again I have already restarted it by holding the on/off switch and home button and it come back on and was working fine, but after an couple of hours it's turned itself back off again!! And won't let me restart it again. I don't know what's caused it as it was working fine yesterday and I hadn't dropped it or gotten it wet, what else can I do??

    A phone that is turned off wont receive calls. You could try to do a couple things: plug it in (even though it is fully charged), press and hold the power button down extra hard. Press and hold the power AND home buttons extra hard. Take it to the apple store.

  • Can I use a USB superdrive DVD reader/writer with a mac pro?

    The internal CD/DVD read/writer in my macpro (2 x 2.66 ghz dual-core xeon) broke, so I purchased an external USB superdrive, thinking I could use it as an external drive. It does nothing when plugged into the mac pro, I cant even insert a disk. It seems to not even have power.    
    Anyway I now see the device (superdrive) is intended for a macbook air or mac mini.
    Am I toast? Is there no way I can get this thing to work with the mac pro?
    I dont think I can return it, I've already discarded all the packaging.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I agree it would not take a lot of time, 2 minutes perhaps for the world record holder, for me more like 10 perhaps, not including the time involved in purchasing the drive, figuring out how to recycle the old broken one that comes out, etc.
    However the key point is that if I can get this drive to work, the cost will be $0, as I've already paid for it. So I would be most interested in doing that, if possible. If it's not possible, then I'll have no choice to pay $30 or however much, for a new one.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

  • HT1386 How can I sync itunes songs onto my iphone? Using ios 6.1.3 and itunes 11.0.4.4

    When I connect my iphone to itunes (USB) I am prompted to set up new iphone, or restore from back-up. I've already restored from back-up. I can't sync or manage my iphone with itunes now.
    Background info: I have recently been forced to update the operating system on my iphone - the contact, pictures and most apps restored just fine. But I cannot copy the music back onto my iphone. When I plug in the phone to sync with itunes I am now prompted to set up a new phone or restore from back up. I have already restored from back up and don't need these options any more.
    The syncing instructions I read show screen shots of itunes that I can no longer get to. Any syncing options I can find are greyed out and unusable.
    How can I place music onto my iphone?

    I appreciate your comment however, I sold my iPhone 4 and therefore cannot see how it synched before. What I do know is that I was not using the iCloud with the iPhone 4 and when Ireceived the iPhone 5 in the mail, I took it to the local Apple Store for some user education... The person in the store set this up.
    I have been an iphone user since the first phone was selling. I love the product and this issue is troublesome to me.
    I do wish that this problem would have been brought to my attention prior to purchasing. I waited weeks for delivery of the phone and thought I was advancing into the the future, not reversing in time.
    Looks like I have to re-create about 300 notes by hand!  UGH!
