Iphone will not come up on computer (itunes) when plugged in?

I got my iphone a week ago. I was able to sync my iphone about 3 times with my computer. But now when I plug it into itunes it will stay charging on the iphone itself but NOTHING comes up on itunes. itunes does not pop up itself like it used to. I have no way to sync my iphone itunes is no longer pulling it up when I plug my ipod in either.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

You might try:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into wall charger. even then wont work

my sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into the wall charger. even then when the screen finally comes on it has the wrong date and just says searching. wont do anything.

What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Try holding both home and power buttons until apple logo appears (ignore on/ off slider) and then let go. No data will be lost. Wait for phone to restart

Go get it fixed.

My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says that I can't connect to the server.

My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says there is an error and that I can't connect to the server. (which may have something to do with the facts that my contacts have disappeared.)

The iphone is not a storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception being itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?

- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again

"I bought it a couple of weeks ago"
Bought it from where? I ask because given what you have already tried, it would appear that this iPod needs either service or exchanging for another one.
Did you buy this as new from a reputable source?

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in. I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest software. Since then my iphone will not sync with the computer, it doesn't show up in my computer any more. The computer makes the bing sound as I plug in but i am unable to sync, how can I fix this problem?
