My notebook recognised my iPhone 3 but won't recognise my iPhone 4

I have bought a new iPhone 4 and my Toshiba notebook won't recognise it.  It worked fine with my iPhone 3.  It will connect to my husband's laptop but not to my Notebook for some reason. 

Are you running the latest iTunes version? (10.3.1)

  • HELP NEEDED! My wife's 5c won't recognise on my laptop anymore. I plug it in and the laptop makes a sound but won't show up the phone. I only recently discovered this problem when I upgraded. It will recognise my 5c and even the iPad but not her 5c

    I discovered this problem when I upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5c.
    My laptop will recognise my 5c and even the wife's iPad but won't recognuse her 5c, when I plug it in it makes a sound but just doesn't show up in iTunes.
    It DID work on my laptop as recently as November when I backed up her phone and updated her software but like I say ever since I upgraded it just won't recognise her 5c but does mine.
    I just can't think what is wrong? I haven't messed around with anything on the laptop or messed around with the wife's settings on her 5c
    HELP!!!!

    I would test with another computer and another cable
    if it the device would not be detected by any computer I
    would say that it's connector was broken

  • ITunes see's iPhone, but won't use it

    I've updated both the iPhone and iTunes to the latest version (that was obviously my first mistake).
    Now when I connect the iPhone, iTunes recognises I've connected it, but won't let me access it.
    Any ideas folks?

    Ok, quick update...
    What WAS happening was iTunes would recognise I've plugged in my iPhone, and the interface would change...slightly...
    Split the iTunes interface into two areas - left hand navigation, and right hand content pane. Navigation would show the iPhone. Click it, and nothing happened - right hand pane would stay on my library or whatever was previously selected.
    NOW, I've installed iTunes on my laptop, it worked first time. Gone back to my desktop, and all of a sudden, the right hand pane updates. Lovely.
    Only downside - my desktop PC doesn't recognise I've got Outlook installed, so I can't sync contacts - any ideas how to fix that while I'm here?

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

  • I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

    I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

  • B-Day set up in Address book shows up in iCal but won't sync to iPhone

    And it would be my Mothers! I don't sync over air. Always sync through iTunes,, and I have marked "all iCalendars to sync".. I have 3 calendars plus a Birthday's one. I also have a "Birthdays Calendar". After I sync, all the Birthdays EXCEPT this particular one are there. My Birthdays are set up from my Address Book. I presume that is how most of my Birthdays got to appear in the Birthdays Calendar. I can't understand why this particular one doesn't show up. I have deleted the contact (my mother), and re-input, including birthday(obviously), but won't appear still after sync on my iPhone. I did try a separate entry into iCal, adding a Birthday event, and this time, that one showed up after Sync. Can anyone explain, why the separately added on into iCal showed up in my iPhone, and the birthday attached to my address contact in Address book didn't .. or is it a quirk (black hole event).

    Let's see, uh, these are shows I downloaded 6 months ago, so I guess the answer is... no?  Not so simple?
    I looked a lot closer and apparently the shows I bought before are just gone.  I went back to the store to repurchase only to be told I already bought them but if I want to I can buy them again.  Not redownload but actually repurchase.  So no, not so simple.
    Something must have gotten corrupted and apparently once that happens then things get squirrly real fast.  That's ok, I have an engineering degree and am computer literate.  Imagine my mom trying to mess with this?  No way. 
    So no - not nearly simple enough.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.

    iPhone 4 does not support 5 GHz
    In that case I would manually change the channel the 2.4 GHz is broadcasting.

        TWRING,
    Help has arrived! Since the device is currently on pre-order when processing the order online it will only recognize the line eligible. Once you receive the device you may activate it on another line if needed.

  • HT1386 my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

    my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

    Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and  you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.

  • 'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G)  is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    Thank you for the replies.
    Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>>   > II   <<I,   plus volume slider)  on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
    All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged.  When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
    Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

  • I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country

    I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country

    Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
    The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
    You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock.
