My mac computer will not recognize my iPhone

Why won't my iPhone back up or sync with my mac now?  My computer doesn't even recognize that my phone is plugged in.  I've rebooted, switched cables, unchecked iCloud.

Is your iPhoto working? I have the same issue and it won't back up any photos or anything which is really annoying! I've tried all the things you have too. I have a 6 but I don't think it'd make a difference

  • My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

    I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

  • My mac mini will not recognize my iphone

    I can't seem to get it to recognize my iPhone.  I have tried all the steps on the support page, but nothing.  My iPhone is disabled because I changed my password and forgot it.  I need to reset the phone, but can't because my mac won't recognize it.

    That's about the only options I know of. You ARE using a USB port on the Mac, and not a hub. And you don't have an antivirus, I hope. All I can suggest now is take both the iPhone and the mini to an Apple store and see if a genius can solve it.

  • My computer will not recognize my iphone.

    I am running Windows 7.  iTunes recognizes my device and it also is charging, so it's not a USB or cord issue.  It is saying that the driver is not installed and when I search for driver it says it can't be located.  This is a new phone I restored from a backup on iTunes on this computer.
    I also read in other discussion posts about a bug where any pictures on you camera roll that you downloaded from the internet, email, or MMS may prevent the driver from properly installing, so I went through and deleted those.  Uninstalled driver. Unplugged iphone and reconnected to reinstall driver - still gives me the error that the driver is not installed.  Help - any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • HT1925 My computer does not recognize my Iphone

    Greetings,
    I have a window 7 computer, and a Iphone 4, and my computer will not recognize my Iphone.
    This is after I backed up my old device and completed the startup of the new.
    Any suggestions?

    Mac, Windows, Linux?
    If you have Windows, make sure you have run Windows Update, reboot, or turn off your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that is blocking the device.  The last one is what was stopping my iPod from talking to iTunes.

  • HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.

    How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.  I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

    What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
    Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.

  • My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. Please Help, There is more information below. Thanks.

    My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. It charges but doesn't load as external memory or in itunes.
    I am running OS X 10.4.11 and using iTunes 9.2.1.
    I have tried to be as specific as possible, I hope somebody can help as this is the main thing I will be using my mac for.
    Thanks in advance.

    ....and an 800mHz Mac cannot officially run 10.5.8. There may be some third-party hacks to allow tricking the installer into thinking the computer qualifies and permit the install to continue, but 10.5 will be very sluggish on that machine even if you have a lot of RAM.
    The other problem is valid 10.5 retail install disks. They are getting hard to find, only on DVD (not all early iMacs have DVD-capable drives), and often sell today for more than their original price of US$129.

  • Itunes recently updated on my PC and now it will not recognize my iPhone.  How do I get it to recognize so I can sync?

    I updated iTunes this morning and afterwards I went to sync my iPhone and iTunes will not recognize the iPhone.  The computer will, but iTunes will not.  How do I get iTunes to recognize the iPhone so I can sync.  I do have the phone connected to the computer with the cable.

    Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.
