Laptop wont recognize my phone anymore?

Hi,
When I connect my phone to my laptop via the usb cable it now says it doesn't recognise the usb devise ('USB Device Not Regognised'). Then after I unplug and replug it afew times it lets me access my files and transfer my photos to my pictures folder, but about half way through it suddenly stops and cancelles the transfer and says it doesn't recognise my usb device again! 
I don't know but I think it may be since I did the OS update on my phone...
Not sure what to do about this...

Take a look at this web page and see if it helps:
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
Good luck.

  • My HD on my pc just recently went down.  I had to buy a new HD and reinstall windows on the new HD.  I am running a 64 bit system, and have installed itunes (x64). itunes wont recognize my phone. I have done all troubleshooting tutorials.  HELP!

    I just had to replace the HD on my system.  I am running a x64 system and have installed the correct version of iTunes.  ITunes will not recognize my phone since the new install.  I have went online and followed all of the troubleshooting guides on Apple support.  No good.  I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times.  I have even tried reinstalling windows.  I also get an error message when I start up Itunes that reads " The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other cd burring software.  Please reinstall ITunes.  I am so frustrated, I know there has to be a solution.  I tunes works in all other senses, just not recognizing my Phone.  I need help, my wife and I both have iPhones and need to sync.......... 
    Please Help

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

    Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
    Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont.  Any ideas?

    You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
    To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
    Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
    Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
    Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
    Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
    It will connect...
    That should resolve the issue for you.

  • Itunes won't recognize my phone anymore!!

    All of a sudden, Itunes won't recognize that I have even plugged my Iphone 4s in!  The USB cable I'm using WILL be charging so I know the cord isn't damaged, there is power going to it.  But Itunes won't pick it up, no matter how many times I shut it and re-open, unplug and plug in my phone.  I just updated Itunes so I know I'm running on the most recent one, and I updated my Iphone as well a couple weeks back to the new iOS. 
    Also if I just plug my iPhone into my computer, a drive in my computer used to come up where I could copy/save my photos to my PC.  Now, that drive never shows up anymore.  WHAT is going on!?

    If you're using a Mac, check it out, yo:

    This solved my problem, which was the same as yours.  Make sure you download the Software Developer Kit (SDK) in Software Updates, if you're using a Mac.  The missing SDK update is what is causing the problem on Macs.
    They have this page for iPhones not recognized on Windows, but I don't know anything about Windows:

  • Laptop wont recognize my iphone

    I've believe I've gone through the entire process for syncing my iphone to my HP laptop which has itunes installed on it.  However, I am unable
    to move music from the laptop to the iphone.  When I connect my phone to the laptop it shows the device button at the top of the screen.  when I click
    on the button the button disappears.  I am unable to transfer music from the laptop to the phone

    Try cleaning the dock connector.  Try a new cable.
    iPhone not appearing in iTunes... http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
