my PC is not recognizing my phone....Help! Need to upload pics.

    TexasDerrell, it sounds like your phone isn't a friendly face that your computer knows. Typically when your device does is not recognized by your computer, it's because additional software is needed in order to upload pictures. Your computer will prompt you with an error message to download software. If you're not getting this message, then you also have the option of sending your pictures to your personal e-mail address and uploading them.

  • ITunes is not recognizing my phone

    After I added a new iPod Touch to my account, my iPhone stopped working. When I push the home button at the bottom, nothing happens (black screen only). When I push and hold the button at the top, I get a picture of a usb plug and an arrow above it pointing up to the iTunes icon. When I plug it into the computer, I get the same picture on the screen. It seems as if iTunes is not recognizing my phone.
    Does anyone know what I need to do?
    Thanks.

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  If it won't reset you may need to put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • Iphone "find my phone" app not recognizing my phone as a device

    The "find my phone" app will recognize my ipad as a device and locates it properly. However it will not find my phone and is not recognized as a device in the setting section. I've already gone into the settings -> icloud -> find my phone section and turned it on and this did not work. I've also tried going on my ipad to find the phone as well as my PC through icloud.com/find and this did not work either.

    You cannot do this without itunes on your computer

  • Why is my computer not recognizing my phone as a device?

    My computer is not recognizing that my phone is plugged in... It will charge it, but it won't download my pictures or show that it is even connected on my devices. I have updated all my itunes stuff and restarted my computed. What do I do?

    Sometimes, your Apple ID is actually "username" instead of "[email protected]" Try putting the username of your email instead of the actual address, and see if that works?

  • Iphone do not recognized outlook phone extension

    I use Outlook for my contacts phone and extensions. I synchronize Outlook contacts with my IPhone.
    WhenIPhone is dialing a phone number with the extension starting with x, the dialing is not recognized.

    Thank you paulcb, I'm reasonably new to iPhone. I get notified of voicemail messages in the app that appears as a green square with a little white call-out box inside (labelled "Messages""). This is also where sms messages are displayed. Is there another location where I can get a visual notification of the voicemail details (i.e time and caller id if available) like what you are apparently seeing?

  • My contacts suddenly disappeared from my iPhone today. When I tried to back it up and resync the phone it took away everything and went back to original setting that tells you to connect to iTunes. Unfortunatly now my computer is not recognizing the phone

    My iPhone suddenly lost all contacts this afternoon. Hadnt even been using it.  When I tried to Back it up and resync on the computer it wanted to update after installing the update to the computer it crashed the phone. Now I have no assess to the phone. It has gone to the original setting that tells you  to connect to iTunes. iTunes does not recognize the phone any longer.

  • Why is iTunes not recognizing my phone?

    iTunes will not recognize my phone!!  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it will not recognize my phone is connected.

    If you still have your old iPhone, did you try to create a manual backup by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing "backup"?
    If you can do this, the new backup should show up in the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.

  • I want to sync my iPhone to another computer using an existing iTunes account but the compuer is not recognizing my phone. What the problems? Can I sync the phone?

    I am attempting to sync my iPhone to an existing iTunes account using a new computer but the info will not pull up or transfer. What am I doing wrong is this possible to do?

     How can I sync the new itunes with my iphone and not have my phone data wiped out?
    There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
    The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
    If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem.  You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

  • Audio jack not recognizing head phones

    Just bought a new satellite, model C55-B5200. Long story short, the audio jack is not recognizing when headphones are plugged into it.
    I have checked to make sure the speakers are enabled; they work fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled the realtek driver from the toshiba model page (2014-04-07 | Version: 6.0.1.7195 ) and am at a loss as where to go next.
    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    When you run the Windows Sound applet (enter 'sound' from the Start screen and select 'Settings') does the 'Playback' tab show any indication of headphones?
    If you can select a Headphones device from the Playback tab, click the Properties button and check to make sure 'Device usage' is set to 'Use this device (enable)'.

  • IOS devices not recognizing a phone number as iMessage

    At some point my phone stopped recognizing the text conversation I have with my dad as iMessage. There are other conversation threads (with him and my stepmom, for instance) that are STILL in iMessage (in blue). For some reason though, the one I have with just him is being sent as a text (in green). How do I switch him back to iMessage?
    I use an iPhone 4S (8.1.2) and Macbook Air (Yosemite 10.10.1).
    Thanks!

    Might that have happened because your dad (or you) are not currently in an area that iMessage works in (i.e., not on WiFi and not in a cellular area that supports iMessage)?
    I don't believe you overtly can control what devices are placed in iMessage and what devices are not.  Again, there are two different sets of requirements to use iMessage at a specific time:
    You must communicate to/from an Apple device (not an issue in your case); and
    You and the other person must both be in either WiFi or an area where cellular coverage supports iMessage (possibly an issue for you).
