My iPhone 4 will charge on a wall socket but WILL NOT charge on computer or even connect to the computer and show up???

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my MacBookPro. It will not charge on my MacBookPro, but it will charge on a wall socket and it will play music in a 3rd party speaker system??
This is extremely frustrating not only can I not back up my iPhone but I also can not update its OS etc.

Have you tried other USB Sockets on the MBP?
Have you tried other devices in these USB sockets?, do these work?
Sounds like a fault on the Macbook

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

  • My iphone 4S will not sync with my PC - it has in the past but now won't

    My iphone 4S will not sync to my PC - it has done in the past and now no devices show up when I plug it in.?
    Please help....
    my itunes is up to date and I have restarted my computer.

    Hi,
    Setting up syncing
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true: 
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    Hope this helps

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • Iphone 3gs will not sync with computer help !!

    Okay, I've tried everything I read on the internet and nothing has worked. I even erased the data and settings off it because it wouldnt sync with my Itunes. Now its telling me to connect it to Itunes but I cant? Also I activated it off a different computer because I was having trouble installing Itunes, now that I finally have it, it doesnt work. I'm going out of my mind here can someone PLEASE help me ???

    Oh well no not that, its just that it does not appear on the Itunes left side bar. I'm re-istalling Itunes now but I don't think it would make much difference because I only installed it yesterday so its not that its an old version. Nope no error message or anything just doesnt show up. When I go onto the start menu and click computer the Iphone shows up there.

  • My iphone 4s will not play any music it just scrolls through the entire list and says url not found on this server

    Please help. I am going to go pop in  a minute!!
    All this happened after installing IOS 6!!

    I have the same issue - Home Sharing is setup on my macbook pro and works absolutely fine from my Apple TV but no longer works from my iPhone 4S now running iOS7.04
    Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8
    iTunes 11.04
    Apple TV (latest software update?)
    iPhone 4S with iOS7.04
    Let me recap...Apple TV can access shared music library via Home Sharing with no issues. The iPhone 4S can ACCESS the shared library, SCROLL through the songs, but when I attempt to PLAY a song it just skips it and sends me back to the browsing screen.
    I appreciate any response.

  • TS3048 My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I've put new batteries in the mouse and the green light is blinking but it just won't connect!!! I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc!!! Pls help

    My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I have tried many times, put new batteries in etc. The Bluetooth appears to be on (as the wireless keyboard is working). I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc. Is the mouse dead perhaps? The green light is flickering so it should be ok???
    Thank you for your help
    Sully (frustrated Irishman)

    From what you say I would suggest the batteries are not connecting properly.
    First, thoroughly clean all contacts, both inside the mouse and the contact points of the batteries.  Use an alcohol based cleaner (whisky will do, hic!)  dampen (not wet) cotton buds for cleaning.
    Then check to see if they fit firmly.   If you can shake your mouse and hear things are loose, that will be the batteries.   Check the make.   Apple and Duracell, in that order, are the best batteries.   Where slight undersizing has been reported they are with other than the foregoing.
    You can resolve the size problem with appropriate packing but that will always be a makeshift solution.  After, reassemble, turn on the mouse and with luck, away you go. 
    Hopefully this will solve your problem but in any case let us know how you get on.

    I have just purchased an ipad 2 (already have an ipad1) and after syncing through itunes it will not connect to my home wifi.  The first one connected immediately after setup.  This one indicates my wifi accpimt bit states not connected.  Help!

    What make, model and version router do you have?
    Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
    Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
    What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
    Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc

  • Videos will not play on computer or show in itunes

    Ok, i have 2 video encoders/converters. I have videora and ImTOO MPEG Encoder. When i encode shorter videos, like up to 5 mins. in length, they play on my computer, and i can transfer them to my ipod. But, once i try to encode longer videos, they will not play on itunes, and they won't show up on my library or go to my ipod. They won't even play on realplayer. They say cannot start playback. If someone knows a solution to my problem, i would greatly appreciate an answer. Thanks!

    You need to post more information about the videos you are trying to convert. Are they ripped from DVD's, home videos etc. Also post what software you used to rip or create the video.
    No one will respond unless you provide all the information available.
