Iphone does't recognize usb port

iPhone 4 just updated to latest version of operating system. It has gone into recovery mode. When I plug in the iPhone via usb port, the iPhone shows a picture of trying to connect my usb cable to iTunes. I've tried swithcing cables, usb slots and computers but the connection error remains. The iPhone doesn't recognize the usb connection.

Your connection on the bottom of the phone is most likely dirty. You can carefully clean it with a cotton swab and some isoprpal alcohol

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

"Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5. The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
ANY IDEAS?

How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
This morning I unlocked the phone as usual and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.

After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement

After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, on 10.9.4) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement. I have tried a generic usb mouse and my Razer Deathadder usb mouse. Both mice work before sleep; but after sleep, the computer no longer recognizes mouse movement while still recognizing the mouse buttons when pressed. Any idea why this is occurring?

What do you mean by it doesn't "recognize" it.

How do you unplug the iPhone from the Mac USB port safely?

How do you unplug the iphone from the Mac USB port safely?

Click on the little up arrow next to the name of your iPhone to eject the iPhone first. Then just pull out the USB plug, grasping it by the plastic end of the plug, not the cable.

USB cable to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Can I use the USB cable (that is part of my charger) to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Check the car documentation ,some will support charging but many specifically will not supply a charging current
if not use a USB plug for the vehicle 12 v charge socket ( or lighter plug in old world )

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

My iPod does not recognize USB cable?

I have three different USB cables for an iPod touch. My iPod does not recognize any them when plugged into a computer or a wall charger. What is wrong and can it be fixed?

Does the iPod work?
Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

IPhone killed my MBP USB Port

Got my shiny new iphone 3g, went home, plugged it into my shiny new MBP. I plugged it into the USB port nearest the power supply. Right away, the iphone started intermittently connecting/reconnecting. I jiggled the cable, checked a few things, seemed to be the phone. GREAT. So i plugged it into the other usb port, nearest the power button. No problems.
The problem is, now the USB port nearest the power plug won't work with anything. It intermittently disconnects external drives, USB jump drives, etc. Makes it impossible for using anything -- even a mouse.
Anyone else experience this? It's 100% re-produceable, i plug the iphone it, it attempts to do the 3 hour backup (sarcasm there) and then beeps as it disconnects. Then iphoto opens again as it re-connects. Ad-infinitum.

I've been using my google-fu to investigate.
It's not limited to just me, it seems pretty wide-spread. It also appears to have something to do with iPhone crashing the usb2.0 driver on the MBP. I have a genius bar meeting tomorrow night, i can hobble around it till then.

Desktop Manager does not recognize USB Connection

I have installed the Desktop Manager for MAC (v1.0.2) on my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard10.6.3.
When I connect my Storm 9520 the Mac OS recognizes the media storage drives in the 'Finder'. I can copy files to and from the device media using 'Finder' but the Desktop Manager does not recognize that the device is plugged into the USB (yes I have tried both USB connectors).

I have an 8310, Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6 and the BB desktop v 1.0.2 build 8. It recently stopped recognizing the USB connection as well. I was able to sync my BB with the MAC but can no longer do so. The MAC mounts the BB and I can access the SD card. What gives here?

New iphone 3.1 cuases usb ports to freeze when connected

Hi,
is anyone else having this problem? I installed the new 3,1 on my iPhone 3Gs. No real issues with that.
But now whenever I dock my iPhone with my computer it causes my mouse to freeze. So I disconnect the mouse from the keyboard and then it causes the keyboard to freeze. So I disconnect the keyboard and all is okay again, (leaving the iPhone connected) however it then randomly freezes the mouse and the keyboard again.
Anyone come across this/knows how to solve it? I'm using Snow Leopard, and no other USB ports freeze. Just the mouse and the keyboard.

Yeah, 3.1.2 here and everytime I connect it to my PC (Windows 7 with 8 USB ports and no hub). it screws up the mouse (and I did try all ports) . After syncing my Iphone, I just pull the mouse cable and reconnect and all is fine. Luckily I don't sync more than once a day
Definitely, 3.1.2 OS (what I am using) has problems with USB.

MacBook Pro now does not recognize USB card reader

My computer recently stopped recognizing my usb card reader. The usb port works fine with my iphone and ipod. The card reader works when plugged into a windows based machine. The problem is not related to OS 10.6 because I had the issue prior to upgrade. I must of updated something software related that is causing the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

My computer recently stopped recognizing my usb card reader.
We'll need to know exactly what you mean by this. Plug in the reader, without a card in it. Go to Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info and click on USB in the left column of System Profiler. Do you see *Mass Storage Device* listed under one of the USB port entries in the right part of the window? If so, the reader is recognized. If not, it really isn't. In that case, reset the SMC in your MBP:

Then test again and post back with results.

Just reset my apple ID and password, but iPhone does not recognize it for iCloud or iTunes. Is there a way to be sure these iPhone features use my new Apple ID and password?

Have never been able to use iCloud because my iPhone (v 4) does not recognize my apple ID or password. Any ideas?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).
