IPhone won't pick up that it is plugged into outlet or computer.

This has been an ongoing issue for the past couple of months, but now, it is currently a huge problem (i'll explain in a second).
For whatever reason, my iPhone 4S won't properly pick up that it is plugged into the charger. Now, I, at first thought that the port might have been damaged but this is not the case as when I reset my iPhone 4S (as in, turn it on and off) or when it is completely dead, it will detect that it is either plugged into the computer or outlet. However, today I had realized that I had a pending software update. I decided to pursue the update, and now it's stuck at the "needs to attach to itunes screen" and will not pick up that it's attached to the computer/iTunes.
Also, I should mention, I have 6 different wires that work fine with my iPad. So, it isn't a wire issue either.
Not sure how to tackle this one. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

HT1414 I was trying to update my Ipad and now there is nothing on the Ipad and my computer does not even pick up that it is plugged into it

I was trying to update my Ipad using I tunes and I backed music and apps on my computer but I thought it was updating and then noticed that there was nothing on my Ipad. There is absolutely nothing on the iPad now and I have it still plugged into the computer but the I pad is not showing up in I tunes at all.

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

My iPhone 5 was in 50% battery life when it just turned off and it won't turn on and when i plug it to my computer itunes wont recognize it and i cant turn it on

HT1296 If I want to sync my iPhone to my new MacBookPro that was previously synced with a different computer, will it erase everything from my iPhone?

Yes, unless you first transfer a copy of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

HT201272 I downloaded an app 5 years ago on my iPhone with another Apple ID that I cannot get into now because I forgot the ID. I'd like to download the same app on my iPad now. The developer says it should be no problem. Any ideas how to solve this?

It will be tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to re-download it - but redownloading an account's past purchases may tie a computer or device to the account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Do you have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, or on a backup of your library ? If you have it on a backup then you should be prompted to authorise the account (and I think that the id will show) if you try to add it to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library.

No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.

Yes, it will.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I need a wireless mic that can be plugged into my MacBook Air. What do you recommmend

I am looking for a wireless microphone that can be used for a meeting. I already have speaker however I am looking for a wireless mic that can be plugged into the MacBook Air (which I purchased last year). Nothing fancy, just something inexpensive and easy to use...

Must be wireless?

any genuine good mic will NOT be a 1/8th mic jack microphone, rather USB
The best mic at yet a low cost is one adapted from a quality XLR mic retrofitted for USB
Audio Technica AT2020 USB
depends on what you mean by "inexpensive", the AT2020 is $130, which for a microphone, a quality one, is extremely cheap.

Quality mics are not made by computer parts makers, rather retrofitted mics made by genuine microphone manufacturers.

Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

Not really, no. The Camera Connection Kit has a USB port for the purpose of importing photos from USB flash drives, and some developers have written apps that can use that port for other purposes, but it doesn't give you a general-purpose USB port as would be present on a standard computer.
What is it you wish to connect to your iPad?
Regards.
