PC NOT PICKING UP IPHONE

hi there my pc is not picking up my iphone 4 does anyone have any clues why. thanks

Do you mean pick it up as a regular USB device? Do you have a Windows or Mac? Did it pick up before? Did you do any reset on the phone or anything?

  • Itunes not picking up Iphone?

    Help, my itunes isn't picking up my iphone..
    It been happening for a while back before Christmas but I didn't think much of it i thought it would sort itself out. But today is my upgrade to the new iphone 4s and i don't want to have the same difficulty with that...
    Basically i plug my iphone(3g) into the computer with itunes running (latest version) my iphone makes the little ding sound to say its plugged in, and my computer (windows) makes the dong sound to say a USB has been plugged in, but then nothing.... i get the option from windows to copy items from the device but that's it nothing else, my phone says its charging and it is, but itunes doesn't pick it up at all, it stays the same as if it isn't plugged in, and it doesn't start a sync. I haven't synced ( that word sounds weird) my iphone in a longggg time maybe 5 months because of this and i really need to so i can save my data for my new iphone and also i don't want to get my new iphone and then stupid itunes not pick it up so i cant set it up.
    Oh the frustration...
    Anyway if anyone can help me that would be great, like i said its an iphone 3g, i have the latest itunes, the computer and iphone are picking each other up but not itunes, its been happening for about 5 months, getting a new iphone and don't want the same problem.
    Thank you to anyone who can help me out, much appreciated.

    I had the same problem with my iPhnne 4sand iPad.  Found a site with a lot of help. Went to step 5 and added the Windows 64-bit regestry entries and it fixed my problem.

  • ITunes Windows Logo Error/not picking up iphone or ipad

    Firstly I connected my iphone to iTunes but it did not register, tried my iPad and again didnt register. Repeated numerous times shutting down iTunes and restarting computer. I then uninstalled iTunes and downloaded the new version from Apple. It downloaded ok but when I clicked on the Apple desktop icon it came up with the message "does not meet windows logo testing". It continues to open iTunes but says I can't burn to a cd(not fussed) but more importanlty it still doesn't pick up my iphone or ipad.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Unresponsive iphone starts up when chargeing but itunes will not pick up iphone

    iphone is unresponsive but when i plug it into the wall charger it comes on saying it needs to be restored but when i plug the iphone into the laptop it isnt comming on or pickin up the iphone so therefor can not restore anyone any ideas

    Clean the dock port very carefully with isopropyll alcohol, especially the pins, which are on top of the midrib. Be very thorough and firm but do not break anything. Let it dry for half a minute at least. Connect to computer, if nothing, clean again.

    My dad gave me an iPhone 3G to use as an ipod touch but it's not picking up wifi. ive tried everything to like reseting the network settings turning wi fi off and on mutable times, turned the phone off on and on. What do i do?
    the iphone never really picked up wi fi when it was used as a phone and it didnt really matter because he had unlimited internet but it still wont go on wi fi. does any one know why it is doing this?
    The iphone works fine other wise i just really want it to go on wi fi. We just got new wi fi too and all of our other apple products go on the wi fi just fine. I dont know if its because its newer or what but my brothers 1st gen ipod goes on wi fi just fine.

  • I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

    I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks x

    Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
    (1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
    (2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
    (3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
    and
    (4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
    When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

  • HT1386 Ever since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.3, it refuses to sync and will not pick a song while trying to listen to music on my phone?

    So, I thought it was great that apple came out with a new update to fix the bugs of iOS7, however it seems that it created more problematic bugs...
    My iTunes is updated to the latest version, as is my iPhone. No matter how many times I plug it in to the computer it absolutely will not sync new music onto my phone. It says it is syncing, but in reality nothing on my phone has changed. No new music, nothing.
    I have turned my computer on/off as well as my phone.
    Also, no matter what it will not pick a song when I am 'trying' to listen to music on my phone. It just swipes through them all super fast and never stops! Why?!
    Today, I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.4 and it didn't fix the issues.
    Is there a way to fix this, or do I just have to wait until Apple comes out with a new update to fix it??

    I have a very similar problem in Arizona, USA. Virgin Mobile is my carrier. Early in October, the phone seems to have lost it's 3G ability and is exceedingly hesitant to connect to any WiFi networks other than my home WiFi. I've spent countless hours on the phone with my service provider and they have escalated my problem to a higher tier tech group that is looking at the problem now. I've also called AppleCare to ask if I could revert to iOS 6 and was informed that Apple products, once and update has been added, are unable to revert or move backwards. AppleCare said they would like to just exchange my phone for a new one but I am 50 days outside the 1 year limited manufacturer warranty period. Virgin, of course, will not replace the phone for me despite this being a network problem. The responsibility of which should fall on their shoulders. My side of the contract is to pay and pay on time which I have always done. Their side is to provide the services promised at time of purchase and they have dropped the ball. Hope someone out there has an awesome suggestion that doesn't involve going into iTunes and tweaking it or jailbreaking the phone. Until then....namaste.

  • TS1363 My computer is picking up my iphone, but itunes is not picking it up. What is wrong?

    My computer is picking up my iphone, but itunes is not picking it up. What is wrong?

    See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
