IPhone won't detect in whole computer

My iPhone 3G can't be detected in my computer on iTunes or even windows explorer for that matter. Also when I plug it in, all my computer's usb ports seem to not want to detect anything either so that leaves me with a usb key and usb wireless mouse that can't be detected either.

First try restarting the computer see if that helps. If not try updating the drivers for the USB ports or uninstall the drivers for them and reinstalling them. Since you are using a windows machine and what is described has nothing to do with the phone further support is best with Microsoft or your computer manufacturer.

  • My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
    How can I correct this?

    I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new version of iTunes, my iPhone won't sync with the computer. It doesn't even show up.

    I downloaded the updated version of iTunes. Ever since then, my iphone won't even come up as a device. Everytime I plug it in, something comes up asking me do I want to trust this computer on my phone.. I've been using this computer for my iphone downloads and stuff for about 6 months now. I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else since the update and is there any solutions?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • HT5868 I accidentally hit "Don't Trust" and now my iPhone won't sync to my computer. It won't ask me to trust it again even when I restart everything. Now what?

    When I connected my phone to my computer I accidentally clicked "don't trust" and now I can't change the setting to allow my phone to "trust" my computer even though it has trusted it before I downloaded the new update. What do I need to do to be able to connect my phone to my computer again?

    Ok, this just happened to me and none of the above seemed to work. But, I have found a solution that worked for me:
    go to settings > general > reset > then click 'reset all settings' (only click if you happy to reset all settings)
    Obviously, this will reset all your settings but not lose content.
    My iphone 5S was attached to the computer and itunes throughout this process .... it will power down, restart and you will notice the sync icon start to whirr!
    Obviously once redone you will have to reset security thumb/passcode - but your sync should now be working!!!

  • Iphone 5s not detected in my computer

    I use my iphone 5s to take pictures for work and up until about a week ago I had no problems downloading picutres from my phone to my computer, which is a home built computer running windows 7. My iphone shows up in device manager and the drivers are good and it also appears in itunes, however it doesn't show up in my computer as an external device even though there are pictures to be downloaded. I have been on several forums and tried several different things, really hoping someone here knows the answer...
    Thanks,
    Drew

    It won't show up as removable storage since the iphone does not support disk mode. There is nothing for you to do.

  • 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.

  • IPhone won't sync to new computer w/library from old computer HELP!

    Got an iPhone4 for Christmas... already had many, many Gs of music on my PC.  Installed iTunes, purchased some music from iTunes, Amazon, sync'd some to my iPhone.  Backed up *all* my music onto flash drive(s). (PC was +10yrs old).  PC dies.  Get new-to-me computer replacement from my husband's office (some ghosts from previous user still exist). Do my best to locate all previous owners music and delete.  Load all my music from my flash drive onto new-to-me PC.  iTunes can't 'see' my music.  Figure out where library from previous PC owner is, re-direct iTunes from that library to my data.  Go onto iTunes and authorize new-to-me computer using same userid so now all library history info related to that userid should now be linked w/this newer-to-me PC, right?  Purchase more music from iTunes.  Try to sync iPhone to my iTunes account using new-to-me computer, and it wants to erase my iPod and associate it with "this iTunes library."  Crap.  I just want to put 3 newest songs onto my iPhone, which I purchased, fair & square.
    1)How do I 'de-authorize' my old PC?  It is no longer alive or bootable.
    2)How can I convince iTunes that the library on this newer-to-me PC is the library from my old PC, plus more added while on this newer-to-me PC and the library on my iPhone are really one-and-the-same library all belonging to me fair and square?
    3)Is there a way to transfer songs onto my iPhone without iTunes running an inventory on my iPhone to try to automatically add or delete songs that are checked or unchecked?  I don't want my entire library on my iPhone. 
    4)Will I have to remember to ensure every song that I want to stay on my iPhone are always checked in iTunes before syncing my iPhone to my iTunes, even when I only want to make a couple of changes? (if yes, I'll just skip that step and insert the pins in my eyes now.)
    Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE my iPhone, I just really don't love a lot of the built-in 'features' of iTunes as I currently understand things.  I'd be a lot happier if iTunes were a dummer program and totally manual, in the way the older vs of MSWindows Media Player is.  (I cannot beleive I just had to admit that I like a Windows SW product over an Apple one! Deffinitely a sign of the appololypse - hope you're a 'prepper.')
    Please help me.  I am so weary of the days and hours I've spent trying to find/read the answers to my questions on my own.  Many thanks.

    Hey Roaming Gnome,
    hope you're having a good day!  Thanks so much for the info... although I don't really like the reality of the answers...  The answers were depressing (through no fault of your own-you were just passing on the info I asked for-I get that part and appreciate your help) so I went away to lick my wounds and gain the strength to tackle this project.  So, here's the deal, I did back up all the songs that were on my old PC, both the "My Music" folder and the "iTunes" folder within.  All on flash drive.  That computer died, cannot be resuscitated, drive HD erased/shredded, PC now in pieces... fine, I have my music, what do I care, right? (yeah, I know, wrong)  I loaded all my music onto my new-ish/replacement PC.  Not yet syncing my iPhone... Then, from my new-ish PC, I purchased some music and a few TV shows from iTunes and some music from Amazon (I had gift cards).  Then I purchased more music from the iTunes store using my phone.  Also, before my old PC died, I had downloaded (I thought), an app and some free ringtones using my iPhone.  However, I eventually discovered that they aren't *really* installed/downloaded (only the free app I got off the iTunes store is downloaded/installed). Found this out when I went to try to use a ringtone, couldn't locate them on my phone, and weren't showing up on my PC in my iTunes library... I finally found something on the app that said something about I have to sync my phone to my iTunes library, in some different way... (?)  then download them from my iTunes library back to my phone. (huh?) This didn't make sense to me, so I never did it, because I just didn't have the time to figure it out, then execute it.... at that time.
    I also never took the time to set up the free part of my iCloud account because, again I didn't have time to try to figure it out, and didn't think I'd really have to have it I had all my music on my flash drive (wrong again).
    1) So, how can I get my purchases (the ones that exist only on my iPhone, including rights to the free ring-tones) into my iTunes library, and or iCloud, without losing them all? 
    Once I do this, I can back everything up, then sync my iPhone to my only iTunes library, which I realize will wipe my phone clean, then re-copy everything back onto my iPhone. (I can't wait to start this process... do you think it will be done before Christmas?) 
    2)Also, will syncing my iPhone to what it thinks is a 'new' library, will it delete anything on my computer that wasn't in the library last time I sync'd my phone to my library?  I really don't want to pay for the TV shows again, or spend the stupid hours I spent/lost searching through and collecting the ringtones that I wanted?  I burned the hours thinking, "if I just spend the time now, I'll never have to do this again."
    3)On a slightly separate issue, the iCloud listing on my iPhone in the 'Settings' menu is light gray, and does not respond when I tap on it or hold my finger on it.  Ideas?
    4) In the future, if I get a new computer to replace the one I'm using, what are the steps I should take to keep me from losing music I own, existing in my iTunes library, on my PC and/or iPhone, And, cause me the least amount of heartburn possible when migrating my music world over to a replacement PC?  I don't expect this will be my last PC in life - or I'd like to think I'll outlive this PC. Can I avoid all problems by just naming the new computer the same thing as the last one?  Or does the iPhone/iTunes SW know more than just the name of the computer?  Sorry this is so long.  It would be shorter if iPhone/iTunes SW were dumb... we'd all be enjoying chips & margaritas by now. ;^}

  • My iPhone won't sync to my computer.

    I've had this iPhone for about a year and never had problems. I tried plugging it in to my computer the other day to sync it with I tunes and it just sat there saying verifying iPhone at the top. I left it there about 20 minutes and it still wasn't done. I'm just wondering if its the phone or computer and if there's anything I can do to fix it.

  • IPhone won't detect 09 VW Passat handsfree device in order to pair

    I just bought an 09 VW Passat and had the dealer install Bluetooth hands free, but my iPhone will not even locate the hands free device in order to pair with it. I was able to pair my husbands blackberry with it, so I know it isn't the car. Is there something I am missing? The dealer said it should work with my iPhone.

    Just got a 09 VW Golf with the same Bluetooth install. It requires Direct Sim Access, something that the iPhone does not have or has disabled.
    Apple could probably enable this in software ...

  • My iPhone won't connect to my computer

    I plugged my iPhone into my wall socket and nothing happened. I moved it to my iMac and it didn't charge, either, nor did it connect to iTunes. How do I correct this?

    Try another cable.

    How to restart AMS

    I go into Services, then restart Apple Mobile, and just for good measure restart Bonjour and iPod services as well.
    You could go into Programs control panel, click on Apple programs, and then on Repair.
    If you still have trouble, look in Devices and Printers - USB devices, and control click on iPod USB device; also in Device Manager. Probably shows error yellow ! and "error code -10 could not start device". For that, I am not sure what to do but have it on mine and contemplating a clean install (backups are fine and Windows Easy Transfer). Was going to do that today but keeps getting later, so maybe tomorrow, and so I will know better and more.
