My computer is no longer picking up my iphone

My computer will no longer recognize that my iphone is connected, and the iphone itelf does not connect with anything through the USB port (wall charger or computer).
I have tried connecting with several USB cables including my ophone cable as well as old iPod cables. And yes, I am using USB 2.0 ports.
Any thoughts?

Hey MajorPayne0628,
Does the computer have USB 2.0? One of the Mac system requirements is USB 2.0:

  • Sync error: computer is no longer authorized for this iPhone

    I keep getting the following error the last 3 times I have sync'd my iPhone...
    "This computer is no longer authorized for applications that are installed in the iPhone "[NAME]". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased frokm the iTunes Store?
    If you do not authorize this computer, 101 applications and their data will be deleted from this iPhone."
    Then up pops the credential window for my UN/PW. After I enter my credentials I either get the error "cannot connect to server" or iTunes hangs. This has happened 3 times now and each time I get a message saying I have now authorized 2, 3, and now 4 of my 5 available computers.
    So I am now thinking I only have 1 more sync until I can no longer sync my iPhone.
    With waining reception, battery life, and my iPhone constantly lagging and hanging, the "Hero" is looking more and more attractive these days....

    the solution you propose is not helping . are there alternatives ?
    I have Iphone 4  never  had any problem , and withouth changing or modifying , this problem popped up out of the blue ....
    Please HELP

  • This Computer is no longer authorized!! HELP PLEASE!

    After changing the logic board on my MacBookPro recently, tried to sync and transfer my purchased apps & music to ITunes, it comes back saying "This computer is no longer authorized for this Iphone... and then I continue to authorize it, the it says it's already authorized.  But then within a few seconds it comes back with the same message that it's not Authorized! And that if I don't authorize it my Apps & data will be deleted from my phone & Ipad..
    Not sure if it has anything to do with this or something else is happening with ITunes, as for when I try to Update my Apps on my Iphone4 or my Ipad (1st Generation) it says: "Cannot Connect to Itunes Store"
    What can I do to solve this please help

    Replacing a logic board will do that.
    First, try iTunes > Store > "Deauthorize this computer..." and subsequently authorize it again.
    If that does not work, log in to your account from the same menu, and under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    That should work, but you will not be able to use "Deauthorize All" for another year. Should that present a problem, contact iTunes Support and explain the reason you needed to do this.
    You will need to "authorize" each computer individually after you invoke "Deauthorize All".

  • I had an issue with my ipod freezing up when downloading 6.0.1 . My ipod is now unresponsive, and my computer no longer picks up my ipod. Will my ipod back up still be accessible if I try removing then, reinstall itunes?

    My ipod will no longer turn on, and comes up with the image of a connector lead and itunes logo, but if I try plugging it back into my computer my computer no longer picks it up. I'm thinking of try re-installing itunes, but need the back up I made to still be accessable.

    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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Itunes will no longer sync or pick up my iphones or ipad

    I recently switched my itunes from my imac's harddrive to an external harddrive to safe space. Every since I did this a few days ago, my itunes will no longer pick up any of my iphones (3gs,4,& 5) or our ipad 2. I cannot sync them to add music, apps, and vids to each of the devices. Does anyone know any possible suggestions to fix this? thanks.

    Hi ,
    I would like to ask you about purchase item transfer to ipad from mac book Itunes, But This message will be notified on screen
    "This ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized with that purchased item on this ipad"
              I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Thank you

    The iPad is fine.  But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad.  You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

  • How do i get my computer to pick up my iphone

    My Toshiba satellite picks up my iphone 4, no problem. When I hook up my iphone 3g the computer beeps but doesnt show it anywhere. I took the 3g to a mac store and they plugged it into their computer and bam, there it was. I bought a new cord and tried it on my computer. Same problem- the 4 works and the 3g doesnt.I cant even update my OS. Ive went through the troubleshooter and assistant several time to no avail. Please help.

    Antz, welcome to the forum.
    The error message that you received is due to a failed hard drive.  I suggest running the test again from the BIOS to see if you have the same outcome.

  • ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

    I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
    But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    So I reinstalled iTunes.
    I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
    I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
    I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
    But according to Mac's website it is...
    Anyone know what's going on?!?!

    I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
    It goes like this:
    1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
    2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
    3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
    I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
    I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
    Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

  • The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

    Full message that pops up
    "The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
    To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
    My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • THE IPHONE CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT ARE ON THIS PHONE

    Hi I have a macbook pro (late 2011) running on Yosemite  and an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.2 and I have never had a problem until tonight. I wanted to sync my iPhone to add mew music but upon syncing I keep getting a pop up message saying "THE IPHONE "  " COULD NOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED FOR PURCHASED ITEMS ON THIS PHONE" and tells me to go to the store tab on the top and to authorize this computer and every time I do it says computer is already authorized. I will also mention that my iTunes account is the only account that is used on my Mac and it is the only account I've used on my iPhone. Ive synced them plenty of time with no problems. I have never came across this message before and now my iPhone won't sync. I have been online for an hour now looking for solutions but I haven't found any that successfully worked. Ive rebooted both my Mac and iPhone with no success. ow for some reason when I plug my iPhone in it does not even charge but my Mac reads it and it shows up in the iTunes store so I tried syncing it again 1 more time snap it just gets stuck on step 1. I must also say state that is did successfully back up but absolutely will not sync. Can anybody please help me out without resetting my iPhone. Thanks

    Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

  • "Computer is no longer authorized" even though when I authorize it, it says it's ALREADY authorized

    I'm trying to sync my iPhone with my computer. It says, though that my computer is "no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone." So I go to Store->authorize, and then it says "this computer is already authorized." (see screenshots for details). But when I try to sync again, it says (again) that it's not authorized.
    I've tried:
    -deauthorizing all computers, and re-authorizing the one I want to use
    -removing the SC Info folder
    -logging out and back into iTunes
    I'd appreciate any feedback or help.
    I'm using the most up-to-date OSX Yosemite 10.10.2, with most up-to-date iTunes (12.1.0.50), and my phone is an iPhone 5s with iOS8.1.3.

  • Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

    Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy.  It is a Macbook Pro  osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

    Almost certainly none of the above!  Try each of the following in this order:
    Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
    Close down Safari;  move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
    Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
              defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
