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?
You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond

try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup -
IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12
iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
Holding home and power button will not reset.
Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.See if you missed anything here:
- 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 another cable
- 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.

PLEASE HELP! My iPod is not being detected on iTunes!
I know everyone is posting about this, but nothing seems to be working. I've done tons of research and tried it all!
Here's the story: My 1st iPod has been using the firmware 1.1.1, until I recently decided to update it. It was updated to 1.1.5, and the moment iTunes was restarted, it could no longer be detected by iTunes! My iPod has been working fine before the update, so it can't be the iPod itself. I've listed below all the things I've tried! The iPod DOES appear in My Computer, but NOT in iTunes (using iTunes 8, but I have tried uninstalling and reintalling different versions)
Things I've tried and haven't worked:
- Restarting the computer and iPod
- Resetting the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep button
- Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes (several times, on different versions)
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852?viewlocale=en_US
- Apple Support's 5 R's, and related articles
- Thread suggestion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1821771&tstart=0
- iPod not recognized on laptop article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
- Starting/Stopping the iPod Service and Apple Mobile device
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the device in Device Manager
- Plugging into different USB ports (they were fully functional before firmware update)
- Plugging into a different computer (where it was also not detected on iTunes)
I believe my problem is maybe that I need to reinstall the firmware, but I can't do this without it being detected on iTunes! Any ideas???
I really hope someone out there can help me! I am so frustrated and stuck with this problem and have been going around in circles! Thanks so much for ANYONE's help!look at the brightside at least your computer sees yours

My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?
The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version? -
After updating to the new version of iTunes, my iPad 2 is not being detected when I tried to sync. Any solutions?
A few things to try. Any one or a combo mayhelp
Reset your iPad.
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. Then plug it back in and see if it is seen now.
Try a different USB port
Reboot your computer
If you have a PC:
If that doesn't fix it, go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, apple Mobile device service, apple application support.
Then redownload and reinstall iTunes. then try again. -

IPhone will simply not be detected by iTunes
Hi all,
I have a problem. I'm using Windows 7 32bit and the latest version of iTunes; I've followed the Apple Support articles to a T but my iPhone simply won't be detected by iTunes.
The funny thing is, Windows Explorer detects it as an iPhone just fine; iTunes won't do anything. Please help!D43M0N wrote:
It does actually work on my rooommates PC; also running Windows 7. Why would it do that? Is it a problem with my iPhone?
No, certain motherboards have an incompatibility between W7 and the Bios which results in the USB ports not working correctly.
If you have a P55 motherboard, then thats the likely issue.
Also, 32bit W7 seems to be generally better than the 64 bit version. -

Hey! I have had an Ipod touch for about 7 years and it has always worked! but for some reason i plugged it into my laptop and my computer is recognizing that it is plugged in but my itunes isnt what do I do?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
