TS1538 My iphone will not connect to PC after iOS6 update.

I just updated my phone to iOS6 and now can't connect to my PC.  I went over the guide that is listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and found that my device is not showing up in the device manager anymore.  I have three computers and my phone is not recognized on all three.  My wife's iPhone connects to all three fine. She has a 3GS. I tried uninstalling all apple programs and reinstalling, restoring my phone to factory defaults, and three different USB cables. When I plug the USB into my computer, it starts charging, but never brings up the camera folder nor installs the driver. It shows up nowhere in the device manager.  Any suggestions?

I do not have a passcode on the phone. I also tried sliding my finger across the screen to get into the phone past the screen lock and still nothing. I've connected my phone to my computer a million times with no problem.  It just started happening after the new update. At least iOS6 is pretty cool!  I just want to load music back onto it because I had to take a ton off to make room for the update. It was also nice to be able to pull pictures off.  Now I seem to be screwed.

  • IPhone will not connect to iTunes after ios 7.1.2 update

    I was updating my iPhone 4s to the new software update (ios 7.1.2) and my computer fell asleep. My iPhone now is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and when I plug it into my PC iTunes will not connect to it.
    I've tried putting it into recovery mode (won't allow me to slide to power off), and I've tried iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I've also tried rebooting my computer, updating iTunes and enter DFU and Recovery modes
    When plugged in my device manager recognizes that an apple device is plugged in that is in recovery mode....
    I'm trying to back up my phone while it has the most recent software so I can transfer it onto my new 5s
    Please help!!
    iPhone 4s
    Windows 7

    You've tried the following procedure?
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

  • My IPhone will not connect to itunes after the new 11.1 update.

    The other day I updated Itunes to 11.1. After doing so my Iphone would not connect to itunes, although it is being recognized by my computer. I have done everything that has been suggested to other users with no luck. Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey TheBurntApple,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone connecting to iTunes for Windows. While you may have already attempted most of the steps in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case something was omitted.

  • Ipad2 will not connect to itunes after newest update

    Updated Ipad2 and now itunes says it cannot connect to the Iphone??

    Update!!!
    Hope this helps - after spending hours on the phone with the Apple support line, I was connected with an AT&T engineer.
    As it turns out, I have an original Iphone....original phones were supplied with a BLANK sim card and needed to bae activated by Itunes only.  Once aan original Iphone SIM card is burned with your phone number it can your phone can NOT be updated with new soft ware via itunes or this problem will occur.
    Solution - go to AT&T, they will supply with a BLANK sim card (it can NOT be tied to your phone when they issue it) and then you go home and log into itunes.
    I was advised by the engineer that I should never update the software on my original iphone or this would occur.
    I will post one more reply after installing a blank SIM and activating via itunes - Hope this helps others others(i am surprised that no one else has went through this and posted)

    Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

  • After the ios 7 update, my iphone will not connect to my iMac iTunes because "it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later." but my iTunes says all software is up to date...can anyone help??

    iPhone will not connect to my iTunes. I am running iTunes version 10.6.3 on my iMac runing Mac OS X version 10.5.8. All of my updates say "up to date" but this is obviously not the case. Can anyone help me out?

    Hi,
    Your iTunes is up to date for your OS X.
    iTunes 11 requires in intel mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later. If your computer is compatible you will need to purchase Snow Leopard upgrade from Apple store.

  • My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

    my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

    Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
    Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup.  However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

    Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
    iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

    I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

  • Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

    My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
    I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
    I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
    what do i do?

    If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

    iphone will not connect to wi-fi unless beside modem

    Hi Folks!
    I've had spotty connection to wifi since I upgraded to iOS 4.0 with a little improvement with iOS 4.0.2. Yesterday I updated to iOS 4.1 and I am getting no connection at all.
    I've rebooted several times and reset the network settings, all to no avail.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • IPhone will not connect to Linksys WAG54G Wi-Fi

    I can not get my iPhone to connect through my wireless router. I have even tried a reset on my router. My laptop works fine, but my iPhone will not connect. I can see the connection, but i get an 'Unable to join the network' message each time i try to connect.

    Nothing on the phone can be changed to make it work unless a Software update was released to fix whatever was preventing a proper connection.
    Can you connect to any WiFi networks at all? If so then it does isolate it to something with the router.
    Based on what you said. You go to Settings - WiFi - You see your network, Tap on it. And Unable to Join?
    So you never get a check-mark by the network name?
    If you do actually get a check-mark next to your network, tap on the Blue circle. Would be interesting to see what the IP address started with.
    Based on what you said when you disabled security, Did the iPhone no longer show a Padlock next to the WiFi network?
    Also try changing the SSID sometimes that oddly works.

  • I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imac connects to time capsule through wifi but ipad and iphone will not connect

    I just installed the new Airport Time Capsule.  My Imac connects fine through wifi bit my ipad and iphone will not connect to the wifi.  They appear in the wifi settings in the devices but will not connect.  I have reset modem and time capsule and tried forget network and nothing is working.  ANy assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks

    So I called apple support being fairly certain that I wasn't going to be able to fix this over the phone but essentially, it now works flawlessly with my iOS devices. Here is what I did.
    I have a Motorola cable modem surfboard 6421.
    I reset my network settings to dhcp and NAT from the default bridge only mode which the tech said only allows one device to connect at a time. Considering my MBA was already connected to the AE, that would explain why my other iOS devices wouldn't connect. After I changed the settings for the network to DHCP and NAT, the router restarted. I then disconnected the power and coaxial cable from the cable modem and reconnected it and once everything came back up, all devices connected fine. Good throughout and signal. Hope this helps.

  • HT5569 My new Iphone will not connect to my home wi-fi, unless I am standing beside the router. Why is this and how do I fix it? I have previously connected it to another hub before trying to connect to my home wi-fi. Would this of had an effect?

    If you have connected to other wi-fi successfully, then your wi-fi should be working. Try power cycling the router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it has come back, try connecting again.
