What do i do if my iphone is not connecting to the computer?

What can I do if my iPhone 4 is not connecting to any computer?

Try to get your phone into DFU mode if you were planning on restoring anyways.
1. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
2. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
NOTE***: It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!

  • Sept 4, 2014 My iPhone is not connecting to the Hotmail servers. My other email accounts work on it but all the hotmail one comes up with is "The connection to the server failed". Are other people experiencing the same issues?

    If your Hotmail account worked previously and it suddenly stopped and gave you that message, then it is likely a problem at th Hotmail end. Did you check the Hotmail website or contact Hotmail directly to see if they are experiencing problems?

    Try following this article: Troubleshooting wifi connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    If that doesn't work, you have the option to back up and restore to factory settings, then testing the connection. But before doing that troubleshoot your router.

  • My iphone 4s will not connect to the computer or charge when on

    Ok, so this one is kind of strange. I've had this problem for about a 10 days, and it's driving me nuts. The gist of it is that when I connect the USB cable to the phone and to either the computer or the electricity plug, nothing will happen. The phone will not charge in either, and when connected to the computer, neither iphoto nor itunes will connect to the phone (so no syncing podcasts or photos, grrr).
    For a while I thought that it was a hardware problem- it started first by not recognizing the electricity plug, and i could only charge it with the computer (i think since i upgraded it to iOS6 first, about a month and a half ago). At that time, itunes and iphoto were working, so i didn't mind. Then, it started to get picky and i had to plug it a dozen times before it would work. I was very afraid that I wouldn't be able to charge my phone at all- but I discovered that if the phone was turned off while plugged, then it would charge perfectly. If I plugged it in while it was turned off, it would start up and not charge nor connect to itunes / iphoto- so the phone is getting the charge and it knows when it's being connected, but only as long as it's in a coma .
    Here are the specs of what I'm using:
    iphone 4s
    iOS 6, latest version as of today
    Macbook 4.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz
    running OSX 10.6.8
    and iTunes 10.7 (21)
    And here's a bunch of things I've tried:
    - different cables
    - different computers (macbook pro running 10.8.1)
    - push start + off buttons simultaneoulsy for 30 seconds
    - connect via wifi (since I need to start with the cable, it doesn't work)
    Obviously nothing worked, and I would hate losing the pictures and videos in my phone that haven't been synced. Any ideas?

    You must use Apples iTunes in order to place ringtones or music of your own on the phone. You don't have an android phone which uses a sd card and can load via the usb cable.
    If you need info on how to get songs and ringtones and photos on your phone read the manual on your phone or read up at http://www.apple.com

    Just wondering about my options here.
    I purchased an LG enV® TOUCH in the middle of July 2010.  Today, I think I lost it somewhere on the college campus I attend.  My friend sent a text message to my number with contact information, and I sent another one through MyVerizon, so I'm hoping the person who finds it is... reputable and can return it.
    Provided that's not the case, however, what can I do?  Do I go ahead and suspend the phone's service now, or do I wait and hope that someone nice gives it back?
    I am not aware of any warranties on my phone.  I think I apply for the whole Certified Pre-Owned Replacement Device thing since it's A) the first time this has happened and B) within the period of not having happened in 12 months.  However, I'm a little unclear on what this entails.  Do I have to buy a new plan at full price?  A new phone at full price?  Does the latter depend on things -- i.e., is it possibile to get a replacement phone at no cost, even if it's... uh... less than adequate?
    Just trying to clear up a few things.  Many thanks to the person who can help!

  • Itunes trys to connect to my iphone when the iphone is not connected to the pc

    At first I thought it was beause I didn't "eject" the iphone from itunes before disconnecting from my USB cord so I reconnected the iphone and ejected the iphone from within itunes.  Once my iphone disappeared from the list of devices I disconnected my iphone.  However, everytime I open itunes, itunes trys to connect to my iphone when it is not connected via the USB.  I get an error message saying itunes could not connect to my iphone - Duh! 
    Any help would be appreciated!

    A backup of a device with a newer version of iOS cannot be retored to a device with an older version.  The solution is to connect to itunes and update the new device's iOS, then perform a restore.
