Iphone not recognised by computer

The iphone does not appear as a device on the computer, even though it has just recognised it, backed it up and updated it with the latest software. Since then it will not recognise it as a piece of hardware. I must admit I am not particularly iphone savvy but I have tried all of what Apple has suggested, alas without success.
Any clues?

    Hello...I was just gifted a new Sony BDV-E390 Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre System. Now I am searching for the best TV to use with it. I don't know the most about technology by any means. I do know that I am looking between the 46" and 55" range for size however. The Blu-ray player is 3D ready it says and I first and foremost do not want to have any feature not able to be used on my new TV. Do I need a 3D TV? I understand that the 1080p TV's are the best I think and the 120hz as well. I guess the "bigger is better" rule works here? Any suggestions for the best TV or at least features to a TV that would work best with my new Theatre System??
    Thanks in advance!
    Best bang for buck TV right now is the Panasonic ST50 series plasma.

  • Why are my photos from iphone not on my computer?

    why are my photos from my iphone not on my computer?

    Someone actually responded to me in another thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16418849#16418849
    Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
    Do a sync.
    Then check the box.
    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

  • TS1538 iPhone not recognised by Desktop PC

    After completing all of the instructions regarding my iPhone not being recognised by My Computer and, subsequently, iTunes it is still not working. A couple of extra things:
    1. The iPhone in question can plug into my laptop and is recognised
    2. Another iPhone4 is successfully recognised by the Desktop PC - just not this one
    I have reinstalled iTunes, restored factory settings on the iPhone4 for in question (via iTunes on my laptop) and tried different data cables.

    I have already done all of the above but still no success. It is so strange.
    As I mentioned above:
    * The phone (boyfriend's Dad's iPhone4) in question is recognised by my laptop (also running Windows7)
    * MY phone (another iPhone4) is recognised by the desktop
    Both of the above are using the same sync cable (but yes, I have tried another with the same result as above).
    It makes no logical sense.
    Thank you for your answer though.

  • Iphone not recognised in iTunes on new MAC

    I’m hoping someone can help? I have been using a PC to sync my iphone in itunes. I have a new Macbook and I want to start syncing my phone with that but the device is not being recognised. I have copied my library across for the PC to the MAC but when I plug my phone in to the MAC it automatically opens iphoto but does not respond to the phone. I have authorised my MAC in itunes and reinstalled itunes twice but still no joy. Has anyone had a successful outcome to a similar problem?

    try this first:
    launch *Image Capture* while your iPhone is connected. Image Capture can be found in your computer's applications folder.
    go to the Devices pulldown menu and select iPhone. now, go to the Image Capture pulldown menu and select preferences. In the general tab, change +when a camera is connected, open+ to +no application+. click OK, then quit Image Capture.

  • IPhone not recognised by laptop (or connecting to itunes)

    My iphone has recently been repaired with a new dock (since the other was corroded with water damage and would not allow the iphone to charge at all). I got it back today and after updating my itunes, the softwarde on the iphone (to iO6.1.2) and the software on my Mac, but it is not being recognised when it is plugged in.
    I have tried connecting the iphone to two of my friends windows laptops, one of whoms says 'device not recognised'.
    I am wondering if this may be due to the repair that took place, but i don't see how that could be logical since my iphone is now charging fine when i connect it to the laptop. Is there anyway that the person who repaired it may have failed to repair it in a way that would allow the iphone to connect to itunes?
    Also, is there a chance it could be due to the new software update? My friend said he had trouble connecting his iphone after upgrading, but with a few restarts it worked (i've done this however and still no luck).
    Note: I have resarted the iphone (holding down home button and sleep button), tried putting it into DFU mode (but cannot do that since itunes still wont recognise the device), restarted my laptop etc.
    Any advice would be appreciated- Thanks

    This likely due to the repair, or other water damage not repaired.  The fact that the phone charges ddoesn't mean that all the dock contacts are working properly.

  • Ipod not recognised by computer or i-tunes,

    My Ipod ran out of battery and now it won't reset or turn on. It's not recognised by my computer or i-tunes.
    I think its died can someone please help me try and bring it back to life.
    Any suggestions will be welcome thanks.

    First, connect it to your computer or power adapter and let it charge for a long time, at least overnight. Then give it a try again.

  • Ipod is not recognised by computer, but still charges

    I have an Ipod Nano that i have had for a while now and it has been working fine. However, now, when i connect it to the computer, it is not recognised. It continues to charge, but doesn't appear in my computer or itunes.
    I have updated my itunes, tried different usb ports, restarted my computer, and done most of what the support section advises, however, it still isn't recognised.
    My brother is also having the same problem with his ipod shuffle.
    I was just wondering if there is anything else that i could try.
    Thanks

    I'm also having this problem with my son's Ipod Nano. It was working fine yesterday. My other son got a Shuffle and we plugged it in and downloaded a bunch of songs. We then went to plug the Nano back in and it doesn't come up in Itunes. It does charge. I've tried multiple USB connections on the PC. I've also gone to the device manager to look at the USB ports. The Shuffle shows up as Mass Storage Device, but when I plug in the Nano, nothing pops up. I've also tried my Nano USB connection to make sure nothing is wrong with his. No luck. Can anyone help?

  • Ipod shuffle not recognised by computer after update to iTunes 7

    I have just updated to iTunes 7 and now my computer will not recognise my iPod Shuffle. ("Periferique USB inconnu" - unknown USB peripheral in English.)
    I have tried to reset it but until it appears in either the iTunes source window or in Windows explorer there is nothing more I can do.
    Another problem is that when I try to run the iPod updater 2006-1-10 it tells me that I have the incorrect version of iPod service amd then aborts.
    Finally I have misplaced my iPod installation disk so I cannot try reinstalling it.
    Can anyone out there help me???

    Unsolved till yet. I´ve read all the other threads touching this theme, but nothing substantial. No solution. No comments of Apple.
    I´ve take a look into the files with Wordpad and I can see the lyrics inside the files. But, again, with the iPod nothing except the title.

  • Ipod not recognised on computer, lost everything downloaded.

    My Ipod screen tells me it is connected, Eject before disconnecting. I could not do this as there was no device recognised on the itunes store window. I had downloaded lots of podcasts, and wanted to syncronise them. After reading all the support pages, I deleted Itunes off my compter and all apple related files. I then downloaded the lastest version, and now have nothing on my computer.
    I diagnosed that the computer was not recognising my device. I am not that computer literate, I suppose I am a silver surfer, and have no grandchildren to help. PLease advise what I can do to restore my Ipod and would like to be able to retreave all my podcasts that were downloaded onto the computer, and syncronise them onto my ipod.

    Actually, you're meant to play anything off of it, as well as add and remove songs to/from it, through iTunes.
