My iPhone won't register on my laptop!!!

My iPhone charges fine from the adaptor but will not charge when plugged into laptop through USB and will not appear in My Computer or iTunes either. Does anyone know why this may be?

I've tried all USB ports on my laptop, it was working on my laptop about 2 weeks ago before the update of iTunes. It also charges when plugged into other laptops, just not mine.

    If all those steps are tried, try another computer to rule out phone/cable issues
    uninstall itunes AND all the other Apple Software via the control panel.
    Do a registry cleanup. Use a program like Ccleaner.
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall iTunes from scratch.

  • My iphone won't back up to laptop/iTunes

    As of last week I am no longer able to back up my iphone 5 to my Laptop (macbook pro G4 OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion) with iTunes 11.0.1. It gives me the following error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because an error occurred."
    I reinstalled itunes. I tuned off all Apps on iphone. I restarted iphone. I restared laptop. Nothing has worked. Itunes sees the phone and begins the back up process but always gives me the error message. BTW I am still able to upload photos into iphoto no problem. Thoughts anyone?

    I had the same issue. Iphone would not sync or backup to my laptop. I tried reinstalling, even to another directory, nothing worked. Then I thought about what software I most recently installed. On a recent trip I installed a Sprint USB Broadband Modem on my laptop. I realized that I had trouble with syncing and backing up my Iphone since that install.  I uninstalled the program "Sprint Smartview" and rebooted my laptop.  As a result, my syncing and backup functions were restored and Itunes works perfectly. Hope this helps. It was definitely a conflict issue with the Sprint software.

  • How do I get my iphone 4 to automatically trust my laptop?

    I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to the new IOS 7 and now my iphone won't automatically trust my laptop. How do I get my iphone 4 to automatically trust my laptop?

    Swipe up from the home screen to access the control center and find the rotation lock icon (lock icon circled with an arrow). If it's on, that icon will appear in your status bar and will be "lit up" in the control center. Tap it to turn the lock off and allow apps to rotate.

  • I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?

    You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

  • IPhone won't sync/mount in iTunes

    I just noticed that my iPhone won't mount in iTunes. The iPhone makes the "i'm plugged in and charging" noise and shows the charging screen but never goes into sync mode.
    I've rebooted the phone, laptop, and even tried two other cables still to no avail.
    I'm also not sure if this happened after installing Snow Leopard because I only plug my iPhone into my laptop once a week and usually just walk away while it backs up and syncs.
    Any suggestions? I can't even restore my iPhone.

  • My friend's iPhone won't play my music I bought from the iTunes Store.

    My friend has an iPhone 5 with music from his laptop. His laptop is authorized to play music I purchase from the iTunes store, but for some reason his phone won't play those songs. Can somebody explain why, and help me get his iPhone to play those songs? Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • HT1918 My iPhone won't let me download or update anything???

    My iPhone won't let me download or update any apps, just keeps going to my account pages, asks me to put in my card details then says there's a problem or it's declined even when I try to download or update free apps, I have had the day Apple ID and card details since I brought phone????? Have spoken to Apple they don't help!!

    What sort of card is it, debit or credit ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support again : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

  • Iphone won't sync properly after iOS4.0.1

    Hi,
    I'm writing here after searching the web and Apple and finding no clue on what's going on
    I recently updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS4.0.1 and as a prerequisite I had to upgrade Itunes to 9.2.1.5.
    After upgrading both my iPhone OS and Itunes I can't sync anymore!
    I can't sync my Contacts/Calendar/Apps/Music/Podcast etc...
    I keep getting errors like:
    1. Duplicate file name
    2. Device timed out
    3. can't write to disk
    4. File can not be found
    Solutions I've tried:
    1. Running Diagnostics via iTunes showed everything is working fine.
    2. Removed Apple USB controller and re-installed.
    3. Made a complete remove of iTunes + QuickTime + Apple software + Apple Mobile and reinstalled iTunes.
    4. Did over 20 Restores!!!
    5. On the Iphone chose to "erase" everything.
    6. on the Info tab, unchecked "Sync Notes".
    7. Removing any of iTunes music folders.
    Nothing worked! I have a working phone, which I should be grateful for, but I can't sync my music, podcasts or my NIKE runs. I can't even downgrade back to 3.1.3 because it says Apple won't sign the firmware!
    I heard that if I "Jailbreak" my device I can downgrade, but I don't want to void my warranty or harm my device.
    Can someone please help me?

    Try turning your security software off - my laptop running Windows7 and Norton 360 was able to download the iTunes upgrade and work with my iPhone and iPad, whereas my Vista laptop with ZoneAlarm has never let me do an iPhone OS update with ZoneAlarm on, so I turn it off for OS updates. No need to turn it off for synchs after a successful OS update. Btw, I still have not been able to update iTunes on the Vista laptop no matter what I do (turn ZoneAlarm off, download only followed by manual installation of update, etc). Hope this helps!
