My 4s charges when I connect it to the pc but doesnt show up in itunes or 'my computer'?

My old Iphone 4(changed about a week ago) works fine and connects, Ive tested the cable and tested the 4s on another laptop still doesnt work.
Ive reset it (cant wipe it completely too many photos) and Ive uninstalled itunes and downloaded a newer version
Still now luck
it worked fine until 2 days ago and I had backed up my old iphone and transferred the back up onto the 4s.
I deleted the icloud connection last monday
Any ideas?

I had this same problem with my iPhone 4. I thought it was because of a corrupted driver file built into the phone, so I tried restoring and that didn't work. Turns out, the pins on the 30 pin connector inside the phone for managing data to and from the computer were shorted. I had to get that replaced. Try restoring. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend replacing that.

  • My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

    Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

    I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430). 

  • Why won't my iPod charge when I connect it to the computer?

    So I have an iPod touch 4th gen and a Windows computer. It was working fine about a month ago but now whenever I plug my ipod into the computer, it doesn;t charge and just shows the battery and charger power symbol on my ipod. Sometimes, if my charger is in the right postion (bent in a weird way) then it will charge.
    I've tried to go on control pannel and then devices and then device manager to update the USB port or whatever but it doesn't show. I've also tried to put it into the recovery settings or something but it doesn't work.
    It's really annoying and any help would be great.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I suspect a bad cable (could be cable or the the connectors at the ends of the cable), dock connector on iPod or USB port

  • TS3274 My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power

    My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power. I have restarted it but the problem seems to be that it doesn't recongise the actual charger. Any ideas?

    First ensure you are using a 10 watt/2 amp charger if you are not using the one included with the iPad. Then I would try a new sync cable. You can then test the charger by connecting another USB based device such as an iPod or iPhone to it to see if it charges. If the iPad is completely dead it may require some charge time before it will become responsive. If the sync cable and charger work fine with other devices you iPad is probably defective and requires repair.

    Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
    Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

  • My MacBook Pro tells me it's not charging when I connect the charger.  What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro tells me it's not charging when I connect the charger.  Right now it's reading it, but other times it does not.  What do I do?

    Initiating a charge cycle is a costly and disruptive operation. It is only started when the benefit to battery life exceeds the cost to battery life of a charge operation. That is usually when the battery falls below 90 percent charged.

    The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
