IPhone cannot be detected in WinXP

My iPhone cannot be detected by any computers. It does not charge at all except I connect it to the power plug.
I tried,
1) Connected to my primary computer with iTune 8.2.1
2) Connected to my secondary computer with iTune 8.2.1
3) Connected to my primary notebook without iTune
4) Connected to my colleague's computer with iTune 8.2.1, his iPhone is detected, so the usb cable must be OK.
Anyone can help????

Hi,
Are you directly connecting the iPhone to the computers with the Dock Connector to USB Cable?
If not, try plugging the iPhone into a USB2 port on the computer using the cable that came with the iPhone.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 provides other general tips that may resolve the issue.
The iPhone will need service, if the issue persists after trying the tips above. This article: http://www.apple.com/hk/support/iphone/service/faq/ provides answers to Frequently Asked Questions about iPhone service in Hong Kong.

Itunes says my iphone cannot be detected

Good evening, I had to reset my iPhone 4s because it was acting possessed. So I have updated it, and its stuck in recovery mode. Now iTunes is saying "it can't complete restore because the iPhone cannot be found" HELP!!

have you backed it up? Because if you follow what I am advising - you will lose all the data on that phone
What happens when your iPhone or iPad is completely non-responsive, even when connected to iTunes? Or perhaps you need to downgrade from beta software. Any of these scenarios will require you to put your iPhone or iPad into Recovery Mode. No need to panic though, we can walk you through each step of the way!
Turn your iPhone or iPad off.
Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding theHome button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPhone or iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.
Click on Restore iPhone... — or Restore iPad if that's what you're using.
That's all there is to it! Just wait for your iPhone or iPad to reboot and you should be good to go again! Keep in mind if you're using Recovery Mode to downgrade firmware, this may not work if you're trying to downgrade to a version that Apple is no longer signing. Older firmwares are not supported and only the most current official version will be verified correctly in iTunes.

Error says iphone cannot be detected by itunes

AN ERROR SAYS: IPHONE CANNOT BE CONNECTED TO ITUNES, BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DETECTED

Is your computer usb port usb 2 ? it should work directly connected (no hub).

IPhone cannot be detected on any computer

All of a sudden, my laptop refused to detect my iPhone when I plug it into the USB port. However, it could charge using the AC adaptor.
I checked the power saving function of the USB ports and it wasnt the issue.
Restated both my laptop and phone many times too.
Tried connecting on other computers but it failed as well.
Also, my computer can accept other iPhone connections, so it isn't my laptop problem.
Thx in advance for any help rendered =).
Really desperate ..

IF your IP is recognized by your netbook, it sounds like you have a bad USB port on the problem computer. I believe that ALL USB ports on a computer are daisy changed and if one is bad, they probably all are bad. I had this happen on one of my laptops a few years back. I was able to get the USB port replaced under the warrantee. IF the computer is a desktop, you might be able to add a USB card.

Hi Nwobodo,

If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

Iphone device not detected in PC, hence autoplay setting not available

My iphone is not detected under autoplay, therefore i cannot import/export pictures.. please help!

Here is a starting point

TS1538 the iphone cannot be restore at this time because the iphone software update could not be contacted or temperarially unavailable

the iphone cannot be restore at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or temperarily unavailable....
this error has been occred

"Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

IPhone 4S not detected by computer

When I plug my iphone 4s into my computer it is not detected in itunes, device manager or by drivers. It makes the connection noise and shows the charge indicator, nothing else
My classic and shuffle connect fine on my computer
My friends iphone 4S phones connect and are detected fine on my computer
I have tried my iphone on my friends computer and it does not detect (apart from charge)
I have tried a full format and re-install of Windows
I have tried full phone reset of settings and data
It DOES detect and work when plugged into a sound dock (although i cant load music onto it so just played off youtube)
To me it like a part of iOS that syncs with the computer is broken, but I have no idea how to sort this as its not detected when plugged into a computer
Specs
Windows 7 professional 64bit all updates installed
iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1
Model MD235B
Version 5.1 (9B179)
Latest version of itunes (10.6.1.7)

Please help as I am stuck with an iPhone 4S that I cannot get music onto

DFU mode should not show the 'connect to iTunes symbol' from what I understand....
I just tried to enter DFU mode and following these steps...
The bold part as suspected does not work - computer detects nothing
Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB and launch iTunes.
Now turn your iPhone off. Hold down the sleep / power button at the top right of your iPhone, then slide your finger across the "slide to power off" button on your iPhone's screen. (If it won't turn off, press Home and Sleep/Power until the screen goes dark, then release.)
Once your iPhone is off, hold down both the sleep / power button as well as the home button for 10 seconds. Once 10 seconds has elapsed, release the sleep / power button on your iPhone, but continue to hold the home button until the the above message has appeared in iTunes telling you that your iPhone has been detected in recovery mode. (If you just want to go to recovery mode, skip the 10-second hold on both buttons and simply connect the phone while holding down Home, then wait for 'Connect to iTunes' screen on the phone.)
Click OK. You're now in DFU mode.
Im not in a city with an Apple store but I can get a train to one which wont cost too much
No liquid or damage at all. It has Zagg screen protectors on front and back that cost £27 (including fitting) and a thin case aswell
I will do this, unless anyone other answers appear on here
Thanks

TS3694 I cannot restore my iPhone because it says "iPhone cannot be found"?

I cannot turn on my iPhone because it says I need to connect it to itunes. When I connect to itunes it says that I need to restore it. Then, it says my iPhone cannot be restored because it cannot be found. Help!

3G can not go to iOS 6.1.4 !
Was the iPhone jailbroken ?
Put your iPhone in DFU mode. Google 'How to ...'
Connect in iTunes. It will be detected as in Recovery mode. Restore.

Everytime I try to update my iPhone this happens: The iPhone cannot be updated because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is teporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Can you please tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance

Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.

TS2634 hat has its bluetooth turned on? The other iphone cannot find my iphone either. I have turned on bluetooth on both iphones.

Why is my bluetooth on iphone cannot detect another iphone that its bluetooth has been turned on? The other iphone also cannot detect my iphone. Fyi, i have turned on the bluetooth on both iphones.

Because this is not & never has been a feature of any iPhone. There are some apps in the app store that permit peer-to-peer Bluetooth connectivity, but only for game playing or photo transfer. That's about it.
