My phone is not recognizing my contacts
Help. All of my contacts are in my phone. However, my phone is not recognizing them. When one of my contacts calls, only the number, not the name, shows up. Also, my siri won't work with contacts.
If you are a Verizon user, try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if its working now.

Connected Phone Was Not Recognized!!!
When i'm trying to update my phone software the nokia software updater shown this msg (Connected Phone Was Not Recognized). I'm complete uninstall & reinstall NSU but there was same problem. Guys tel me what can I do now?????
Hi gulu20072010
You don't say which model of phone isn't recognized.
If you haven't already installed Nokia PC Suite then you are usually prompted to install PC Connectivity Solutions when you install Nokia Software Updater.
Unfortunately after un-installing applications, entries remain in the registry which can sometimes cause problems.

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
I can not back up my iPhone. It says I need more storage space. I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up. Any ideas?
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Attempted update to iTunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system. Now my phone is not recognized. I tried installing manually. I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs. Still get errors.
Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!. -
My i phone is not recognizing my passcode
My i phone is not recognizing my passcode. Therefore disabling my phone with every wrong attempt at the passcode.
US iPhones are locked to the US carrier. They do not work with carriers in other nations, except with the roaming partners of the US carriers. US iPhone carriers do not unlock the US iPhones. If you want an unlocked iPhone you need to pay Apple full price for an unlocked phone.

My i phone is not pushing my contacts to i cloud
my i phone is not pushing my contacts to i cloud
I had the same problem and it baffled me at first too.
On your iPhone, tap the icon to open the phone app, then tap on contacts at the bottom. You will probably see a screen that says "untitled groups" at the top and doesn't show any contacts listed. Tap on the "Groups" arrow at the top left of the screen (Beside where it says "untitled groups"). That should back you up to a screen where you'll see "All Contacts" and "Untitled Group" listed. Simply tap on the "All Contacts" and it should take you back to the main contact page with all of your contacts showing.
I'm not sure if this fix needs you to do what Carol Samit recommended above or not (toggling contacts on/off in iCloud settings), as I had done that first and still not had my contacts show up. Then I discovered the fix I've just described above.
Good Luck, and I hope this helps. -
I recently changed internet providers and thus had to set up a new email account. I managed to change my Apple ID but my I-phone 4S is not recognizing it. It still brings up the old user ID. I am also unable to retrieve Windows Mail (also wants old info) I synced my phone. What else can I do?

My iphone charges in car and on charger, but when I connect it to the computer it is not recognized at all. I have reset my phone, uninstalled my itunes and reinstalled it, updated all software, tried every cord in the house, tried new and old mac and nothing works. Help.
If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure. If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

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

Syncing when phone is not recognized
I upgraded my iphone to a 5 a few months ago. Just tried to plug it in to my macbook air to sync itunes, and itunes cannot "see" the phone at all! Help! How do I get the mac to see the iphone so I can sync?
Make sure your Mac is updated by clicking on the Apple, then Software Update. If you hvae out-dated versions of iTunes or OSX, it might not be recognized correctly.
If that doesn't do it, try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -
Need help finding out what happened to my phone and what I can do. After trying to update my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5 my phone will no longer work and is an unknown device to any computer. It is like it wiped out everything on the iPhone and has no hardware or data on it. At the end of the download and update of IOS 5 it said there was an error during the process and gave me no option but to push ok and know phone is not working. The screen shows the USB plug and iTunes symbol, but computers will not recognize device.
What was the error number? That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

After updating to the latest software, my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 are not recognized by iTunes. I have attempted all of the suggusted material on Apple support. I am not satisfied as these items are needed daily.
Connect the device to the computer.
Quit iTunes if it launches.
Click the Start menu, right-click on Computer, and choose Properties.
In the upper-left corner, click Device Manager. The Device Manager window should open.
Click the plus icon (or disclosure triangle () for Windows 7) next to Universal Serial Bus controllers to expand this selection.
Right click on apple mobile device USB Driver and update it to latest version.
This worked for me..
