My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

Phone not recognised in itunes
device not recognised by iTunes on PC  or  device not recognised by iTunes on Mac
Some of those things which concern itunes also help with your problem.  In particular try rebooting the computer, try a different USB cable to attach the phone or try a different port

    Hello mzshay2u2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac.  First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

    Suddenly my LR 5 will not recognize my iPhone, which I updated to OS 8. I need my pictures NOW - help!

    I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

  • Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

    Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music!  Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes.  The music will then play but the artwork is missing.  This is a rather irritating problem.  Is anyone else having this issue?  If so, any are any other solutions?  Thanks!

    I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5.  In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play.  I'm going to try and resync when I get home.  I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes???  Nothing is ever easy is it??

  • When I connect my IPad to the computer my computer will not recognize the device as being plugged in

    I'm trying to connect my IPad to both of my computers. Each time I plug it into the USB port I get nothing. The computer doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in. I have tried re-installing ITunes, as recommended, but I still can't get the computers to pick up my IPad. What is happening?

  • My computer will not recognize my iphone.

    I am running Windows 7.  iTunes recognizes my device and it also is charging, so it's not a USB or cord issue.  It is saying that the driver is not installed and when I search for driver it says it can't be located.  This is a new phone I restored from a backup on iTunes on this computer.
    I also read in other discussion posts about a bug where any pictures on you camera roll that you downloaded from the internet, email, or MMS may prevent the driver from properly installing, so I went through and deleted those.  Uninstalled driver. Unplugged iphone and reconnected to reinstall driver - still gives me the error that the driver is not installed.  Help - any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • My mac computer will not recognize my iPhone

    Why won't my iPhone back up or sync with my mac now?  My computer doesn't even recognize that my phone is plugged in.  I've rebooted, switched cables, unchecked iCloud.

    Is your iPhoto working? I have the same issue and it won't back up any photos or anything which is really annoying! I've tried all the things you have too. I have a 6 but I don't think it'd make a difference

  • HT1925 My computer does not recognize my Iphone

    Greetings,
    I have a window 7 computer, and a Iphone 4, and my computer will not recognize my Iphone.
    This is after I backed up my old device and completed the startup of the new.
    Any suggestions?

    Mac, Windows, Linux?
    If you have Windows, make sure you have run Windows Update, reboot, or turn off your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that is blocking the device.  The last one is what was stopping my iPod from talking to iTunes.

  • HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.

    How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.  I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

    What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
    Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.
