My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
How can I correct this?

I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

My iPhone won't connect to my computer

I plugged my iPhone into my wall socket and nothing happened. I moved it to my iMac and it didn't charge, either, nor did it connect to iTunes. How do I correct this?

Try another cable.

IPod Touch won't connect to laptop/computer or iTunes

Before anyone says it, yes I have done everything listed on the site for this problem and nothing works.
I have what I believe is a 2nd Gen 16gb iPod Touch and am running Windows Vista. My laptop has 3 separate USB plugs and yet when I plug the iPod USB cable (with iPod attached) into any of the USB plugs nothing happens. It doesn't charge, it doesn't show in iTunes and it doesn't show up at all on my computer. It's not the USB plugs as other USB devices work and its not the USB cable as I used it the night before this problem first occurred (which was yesterday).
I don't know what to do at this point.

Hi,

What is "everything on this site?" Have you tried a reset? Restore?

My iphone won't connect to itunes or my computer!

For some reason when I updated to the new itunes my iphone 4 stopped connecting to my computer and itunes. I have tried restarting my computer and my iphone but nothing is working. I have tried plugging in different plugs thinking something with the cord but nothing! But when I try to connect my iphone my computer makes the sound as if it is connected but my phone is not in my computer and my iphone shows its not connected

Couple of quick questions on what does happen with your computer when you plug the phone in.
First - Does the computer show an auto play window when you plug the deivce in? Basically asking to import pictures.
Second - Does the device charge on the computer?
Third - Laptop or desktop?
Fourth - Is the phone plugged into the closest USB port to the power supply on the computer? These seem to be standard USB 2.0 ports (unless you have a really old or a really new computer).
Fifth - Did you uninstall all 6 pieces of iTunes or just the iTunes progam it's self?

IPhone won't connect to computer! Error!

So my dad wanted his iPhone updated to 2.0 yesterday, so he asked me to do it on my computer. His laptop wasn't around, so I plugged it into my computer, updated it and gave it back.
Then today he came to me, saying his phone won't connect to HIS computer anymore.
I've tried plugging it in and all that happens is a box that says "camera now connected... open with...." but none of them are iTunes, and it won't connect the phone.
Please help, any respond would be greatly appreciated!

In all honesty, he leaves for a business trip in about an hour and needs his phone to connect.
Can anyone help? Sorry for such short notice

One day later: My solution
I went to the Apple Store with a Genius onliine appointment a few hours after posting this. They couldn't connect it either. One of the terminals had CORRODED. In 4 months. They replaced the phone. I think I used it in the rain once.
My comment:
I had a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I long ago in the stone age. This was one of the first PC's and competed with the Apple model I. It connected to external floppy drives with uncoated steel terminals on the connectors. It cost $2200 in 1977 dollars, now at least $6500, because you could buy a VW for $4000 at the time. It was necessary to go over the terminals with a pencil eraser every few months to get the corrosion off and polish them up. At least they were external and you could do this in a couple of minutes. My point is Radio Shack made a computer that cost half as much as a car unreliable because they saved pennies using cheap metal connectors. Ditto with the iPhone. Apple, what are you thinking? At least please make a terminal-polishing kit, because I can't get a pencil eraser in that tiny slot to clean them myself next time.

My won't connect to any computer

My won't connect to any computer, it's up to date with IOS 6.1.3 and i've used mulitple ipod charging cables but nothing works, it only charged when it's completely flat too, then it turns on and stops charging, goes flat and charges again, I also reset it and it didn't help, and now i've lost all my photos because i can't connect to a computer to restore my back up, someone please help, also the only way it full charges is if i leave it in sleep mode, it doesn't say it's charging but later on it will have full bettery

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.
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
also
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

I've not upgraded to IOS 6 on my ipad, and my Verizon hotspot on my Iphone won't connect to my Ipad

My Verizon hotspot on my Iphone won't connect to my Ipad and hasn't for a few weeks..
Have tried re-booting the system, holding down keys etc.
I have no idea what to do now as I am 100% technically challenged.
Thank you for any very simple instructions on how to proceed

It's in recovery mode and can't be used until you connect to a computer and restore it through iTunes.

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
