My 4s wont connect to any computer. I have windows 7 but i also tried to print some photos off in a local shop and it wouldnt connect there either

When i connect it via usb it charges, itunes doesnt pick up its connected (i upgraded to the most up to date version last night) it doesnt show as a device in my control panel. I went into boots today to print of some photos and it said there was a technical problem connecting to my phone. My phone is nearly 2 years old. Is it just on the way out??

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    "Note: On recent iPod models, when the battery is completely empty, your computer may not recognize your iPod for up to 30 minutes even though it's connected and charging." (Taken from THIS article) so that may (or may not) be the situation with yours. I know you said that it's not charging at all but it may take awhile for it to actually start charging since it was completely drained.
    Also,this link: iPod's battery doesn't charge may help.

  • No longer able to connect to any computer with iPhone 4s

    I have a iPhone 4s. I connected it to my Macbook Air today and instead of changing the battery icon to green and appearing in iphoto, nothing happens. Same for iTunes. When I plug the phone into my charger, the charger works. So its not the USB connection.
    I tried it in a PC and in my Mac Pro. Same deal. Prior to today all of these computers saw my iphone and I was able to download photos, update music etc.
    Now, none of them seem to connect and they don't appear in any programs.
    I restarted the iphone three times and the computers, but nothing has been helped. At least I can charge the phone, but I really want to get the photos off it as the icloud sync is iffy. Plus its a lot easier when the computer connects to the phone. Why has this suddenly broken?
    I have the current iOS7.1.1
    Help?

    Thanks for the feedback. I really really think it is something weird within the phone because:
    1. I have 3 computers which all have synced in the past and now suddenly they all do not work
    2. the usb cable charges the phone when plugged into the charger, but no computers connected to the iphone with the same cable are recognised
    3. I tried another iphone cable and get the exact same results
    I did update itunes but it did not help
    I tried the AMD settings but it did not help
    I even put the phone into "plug me into itunes" mode and even that did not work, on a newer macbook air, with the latest itunes. I restarted the phone and it is back to the way it was, eg not connecting, but otherwise seems ok.
    So, I'm still stuck. If it comes to it, I will zap the entire unit and let icloud reload it, but that is a rather extreme measure.

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.  I've since deleted this podcast with no luck.  I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck.  One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update.  Anyone have a fix for this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - 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.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

    When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?

  • How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

    Hi
    I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
    I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

    The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

  • I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.

    Your photos are gone.  They were wiped when you restored your phone.  There is no "trash can".
    You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly.  Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide.  I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.
