My iPhone 5 is not recognized on any PC, wont charge by USB in PC either

My iPhone 5 is not recognized on my PC w/ Windows 7, nor Windows 8. It does not charge while plugged into either computer, but it does charge when plugged into the wall! I tried uninstalling, downloading a new copy and installing iTunes on both PCs. There is no sound when I plug the iPhone into the computer. Device Manager does not have an entry for any Apple device anywhere. Am I screwed? There is one thing: I have not yet updated to the latest firmware, but I have been holding off because its been a long time since I backed the phone up. I'm really worried!!! Please help, I'm out of the 1 year warranty on it.

Have you tried another USB phone cable?

  • Froze upgrading ios 6 on connect to itunes screen not recognized by itunes and wont charge no power with usb

    The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
    I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
    Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
      When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
    My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
                        2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
                        3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
                        4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
    I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!
    Any help appreciated.

    You've pretty much exhausted everything so it is time to get it serviced. Is it in warranty?

  • My iphone 4S is not recognized on any PC....I've tried several.

    I keep trying to transfer the photos I've taken from my iphone to my PC.  My iphone recognizes that it is connected (it asks if I should trust the computer it is connected to), but my computer (or any others) hasn't even recognized that a device is plugged in.  What can I do?

    Have you tried another USB phone cable?

  • My IPhone 4 is not recognized by any device. When plugged in nothing happens. Tried my Pc and other ones. What should I do?

    Hi there. I have this problem for a while now. Haven't been able to syncronize it since December. I tried putting it in Safe mode but nothing happens. What should I do?

    Connect it to your mains charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. While it is still connected to power Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons). You may have to try this several times. When it awakens let if fully charge then connect it to your computer and sync it.

  • One of my voice memos did not save - it displays as 00:00 - and my iPhone will also not conenct to any computers (it charges, but will not connect). any way to solve both these problems simultaniously?

    I've tried using multiple cords to connect to a computer, I've tried multiple computers, I've tried resetting all my settings on my IPhone, I've reinstalled and redownloaded itunes, and I've completely updated my iPhone and iTunes. Nothing works. I'm at the very end of my rope as this memo was a very important interview and I need to recover it.
    Thanks for any help!

  • My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my laptop or my husbands (Toshiba and HP). His is recognized on both just fine.

    I have tried all suggestions from apple and google and nothing. I have uninstalled iTunes and all Apple software in the order suggested by iTunes, restarted my laptop, updated all software on my laptop, reinstalled iTunes, restarted my iPhone, rebooted by pressing the top and home button, tried different laptops and cables, made sure Apple mobile support is installed, deleted and reinstalled all usb drivers... I don't know what else to do. I've also connected the phone, and under device manager, scanned for new or changed hardware.
    The thing is, it doesn't recognize MY iPhone 4. It does recognize my husband, same cords. Is there a setting on my phone that got changed? I need to upload my pictures so I can have room to update my phone. I cannot update using iTunes, because it is not recognized by any computer. I don't know what to do. Has anyone else had and solved this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kara

  • .jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

    .jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

    I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.

    Settings, Mail Contacts and Calendars, Select the Gmail account, Select "Fetch new Data, and you can try changing the interval to PUSH.  If that doesn't work, change the Fetch frequency to something shorter.  It sounds like you have it set to manually.

    my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

    Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.
