  • HT5278 my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this?

    my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.

    Had same problem and did the normal reset 10seconds but did not work.
    I plugged in USB and held the on/off switch and home button for 20seconds and the "Connect to Itunes" came on the screen. I then opened up Itunes and it directed me to restore.

  • My daughters ipod picked up my id when she plugged into my computer

    I tried to set up my grand daughters new iPod touch on my computer. It now has my apple id, how can I change that to the id I created for her?
    Thanks for any help offered

    Unless you make a separate user account for her to log into, then overtime she plugs into the computer this same problem will occur. You both can't use the same iTunes account with two different Apple IDs.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Why does my iPod Nano only work when it is plugged into the computer?

    My iPod nana is a 4GB iPod and it does not work at all until it is plugged into my computer. It works perfect when it is plugged into the computer. It will not even turn on if it is not plugged in.

    By the sounds of it, the Nano's battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have replace the battery for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair company for a little less.
    Not much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting this issue.

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn or do anything when plugged into my computer

    my ipod wont turn on or do anything while connected to the computer and ive tried everything from holding down the wake and home button to reseting it and nothing will come up on the screen

    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to computer and try to restore.
    - Next try DFU mode.

    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod 5th gen wont charge or turn on when plugged into the wall or on my docking station

    I have had my iPod for around a year now and it has been perfectly fine........until now. I came home from work to find my iPod was turned off, I assumed that it had just run out of charge. I plugged it in to charge using the power adapter and nothing happens when I put it to charge on my docking station?
    Can anyone help? Or does it look like a new iPod is on the cards?
    Thanks

    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 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.

  • My iphone4 switches itself off and wont switch back on until its plugged into the mains

    Hi there, can someone help me please!?
    My iphone4 white had updated ios 4.3.3 and it randomly switches itself off, has anyone else had the same problem?
    It just goes to black screen and I cant manually switch it back on, only when I connect it to the mains does it come back on.
    What's also really strange is that once its reset from the mains it resets the date to 01/01/1970 and the time to 01:05?
    Hopefully someone out there can help!? Mark

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

    - 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.
