Why did I trust this computer?

Apple and iTunes,
Why did I trust this computer for iPod touch?

Had the same "Trust" message pop up on my iPhone 4S.  Also wouldn't appear in iTunes.  In Windows Device Manager I noticed that the iPhone wasn't appearing in the USB section (should show it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver").  That suggests the driver isn't loading or got corrupted. This link walks you through how to find and install the driver:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Scroll down to the section that talks about "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed".  Took all of 2 minutes.  Bingo.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

  • "Trust This Computer?"

    I have a brand new iPhone 6 and brand new iPad Air 2. EVERY time I plug them into my MBP, I get a message asking me:
    "Trust this computer? Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected."
    I then hit "Trust", but the next time I plug either one in, I get the message again. I'm using Apple cables. It doesn't matter whether I plug them into my USB hub or directly into the MBP. The message comes up every time.
    Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

    As mentioned above, this problem has somehow been eradicated for me. I'm not sure exactly what fixed the issue for me, but I can say I did the following things - in this exact order - after which the issue was no more:
    1) Installed the latest version of iTunes (11.1).
    2) Ran a number of system maintenance tasks, for which I use the application "OnyX". In particular, I verified "S.M.A.R.T status" and "structure of volume", then verify/repair "System Permissions", then ran daily, weekly, and monthly "Scripts", then ran a rebuild of "LaunchServices", then ran a number of "Cleaning" tasks (including all "System, User, and Misc." tasks).
    3) Restarted my iPhone, my iPad, and the computer used to sync these devices (my iMac).
    I'm not sure if one (or any) of these things rectified the problem for me, but I'm sure delighted it's been rectified.
    Hope this helps.

  • My ipad asks me repeatedly if I want to "trust this computer" whenever I plug it in to my desktop PC and I can't get it to just connect and be able to sync or access files.

    Whenever I plug my iPad into my desktop PC (windows 8.1), the "trust this computer?" popup keeps displaying on my iPad. I tap it but it just beeps and a few moments later it shows up again. Meanwhile, itunes keeps giving me error messages and giving me the message "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on this ipad?" I click continue but the ipad keeps giving me the trust this computer message every 3 seconds. I've never been able to sync this ipad with my computer yet because of this problem. Any suggestions?

    I finally was able to solve my problem. I'm not sure why it happened but after updating my iPad to the most recent iOS, it works just fine. I had iOS 8 before, but it was the first release, not the update. I have the latest iTunes on my computer so maybe they weren't compatible. Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, make sure everything is up to date.

  • HT1386 iTunes 11.1.4, and iOS 7.0.4. - My iPhone 4 is popping up with "do you trust this computer?" Message, and will no longer sync to iTunes. HELP!?

    iTunes 11.1.4, and iOS 7.0.4. - My iPhone 4 is popping up with "do you trust this computer?" Message, and will no longer sync to iTunes. My device when plugged in just won't sync, and I litteraly do not know what to do... Someone please help me!?

    I did know that it was a new feature, but it made no difference, it wasn't synching. I did however find a post that completely helped me!! Link below.

  • "Trust this computer" message in iPhone 5 each time it's plugged, not recognized by iTunes

    iPhone 5 using iOS7 is not recognized by iTunes. It keeps popping up "Trust this computer" message each time I plug it in to my laptop (Windows 8). It shows in my devices in my computer. Both my iPad with Retina display and iPod touch 5th generation are recognized. I have followed instructions for this issue but not working, help!

    I just wasted 2 hours of my life with this.  Finally figured it out.
    If the above suggestion doesn't work (it did not work for me as the above poster completely failed to identify where to find this "MPT" and it was not listed in my device manager anywhere) .....
    1)  Go to control panel > type Device Manager into your search box there
    2)  Go down to "Portable Devices"  (the Apple help documents are a total fail on this one too as they say to look in "Cameras" after taking a "Screen shot" with the iPhone.  Did not work.)
    3)  Inside Portable Devices you should see "Apple iPhone".  If you don't, expand every one of the Device Manager things until you find Apple iPhone listed.  Then ...
    Then from the Apple support page:
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.
    Once I browsed to that exact file and installed it, it worked.  iTunes popped up and loaded the phone.
    Hope this helps someone.  There's *no reason* this should be happening.  This is a brand new iPhone 5s for me on Windows 8.  The Apple help files need to be corrected.

  • HT5868 It keeps saying 'Do you trust this computer' I press Trust each time?! And it doesn't connect?!

    Please help: It says 'Do you trust this computer' I press 'Trust' each time?! It doesn't connect to my laptop. Why?? I have tryed resetting all settings but no. Restarting it but no.

    Hmm.. Maybe you should authorize your pc in itunes.
    Here is how to do that:
    Authorize Your Computer in iTunes
    1. Download the latest version of iTunes that's appropriate for your computer from theiTunes website. Try to avoid signing up for Apple's newsletter.
    2. Click the Store menu, and then select Authorize This Computer.
    3. A window will prompt you for your Apple ID and password. Fill in the appropriate information, and then click Authorize.
    4. After your submission, your computer will be authorized for playback, and a dialog box will indicate how many computers you have currently authorized to access your Apple account. If you have reached your limit, it's time to deauthorize another machine.

  • IPhone with IOS "Trust this computer" keeps popping up

    I have upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone, but when I now connect my phone to my car (ipod connectivity) it pops up with the "Trust this computer" box! but disappears quickly and then keeps popping up and disappearing.  I don't even have time to click TRUST!!!!
    After a couple of tries the car says there was an error and stops trying.  What the **** is going on!
    If no one knows, maybe you can tell me how to downgrade/restore to ios 7 as without this connectivity I can't listen to my music in the car?

    I finally fixed it!  Don't know really how but here goes what I did.
    You all agreed that before IOS7, by simply plug usb cable between PC and iphone that was it?!
    Updated to IOS7, liked it a little, noticed slowness, but was fairly acceptable. My problem started when I was not able to sync my outlook calendar, contacts, etc. to my phone then I freaked out, because kept having this "do you trust this computer again and again when I clicked Trust.... got me crazy.
    Someone told me to use iCloud. Did, but I can check my Iphone contacts on a website! not what I was looking for. Then I downloaded ICloud for windows, so I can sync (another procedure) to my outlook. Ran it, restarted, found that my wlan card was disabled, fixed it, restarted (anxious), when back, checked some changes made in outlook, more folders and buttons, but it seemed to work.
    I plugged the usb cable and iphone to my pc and Viola! they synchonized!! via usb cable!!
    was it the cable? the icloud installation? the rebooting? don't really know, but it works now...
    I was this close to return to IOS6 by doing all those creepy steps, but it is ok now...
    Please let  know if it work for you guys!!
    cheers!

  • My iphone 4 will not open in itunes windows. when i try to connect my phone displays a message asking if i trust this computer.

    my iphone will noy open in windows. when itry to connect my phone displays the message. Trust this computer? your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected.

    Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

  • "Trust This Computer" Keeps Popping Up Every Time iPhone Is Connected to MBP

    Hi,
    I found this question of the forum in relation to Windows computer, but not in relation to a Mac (especially, I did not find a solution).
    The issue: every time I connect my iPhone (6 Plus, current iOS 8.2.) to my MBP (Mid-2012 13'', current Mac OS X 10.10.2) I am getting the "Trust This Computer" message, despite that I have trusted the computer (like twice daily, about 500 times) already. According to 'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support the iPhone should only ask me once per computer.
    What I have done so far:
    - updated iPhone from iOS 7 to iOS 8 (and within 7 and 8)
    - updated Mac OS X from Mavericks to Yosemite (and within 7 and 8).
    - replaced the cable twice (both Apple, from Apple Store, Australia)
    - reinstalled Yosemite (for other reasons)
    - repaired file permissions on Yosemite (got this from this forum)
    - tried different USB ports
    Nada, still asking me. In addition to the annoyance, it is the also apparently not syncing with iTunes.
    Do I have options left to make the issue go away?
    Thank you for your help!

    This just started happening to me after I updated to 8.3. 
    I haven't had this problem for a very long time.  Now, every time I plug into my Mac, 10.10.3, I get this message.  I tap on 'trust' each time but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

  • Keep getting "Trust this computer?," comp. doesn't recognize photos

    Until yesterday, when I plugged my iPhone 5C (ios8.02)  into my regular computer, the computer would tell me how many new photos I had, ask what folder I wanted to put them in, etc. 
    Now, I get an error message saying that it doesn't see any photos on the device (even though they do show up in iCloud Photos on the Photo Stream, so they're there).     At the same time, I now get a Trust This Computer? message on the phone every time I plug it in.  I wonder if the picture error message goes up because I didn't click on Trust yet -- but I can't get to it before the error message comes up!
    I did some looking around at earlier suggestions to many people with similar problems,  and I noticed by searching my computer from Control Panel that my phone drivers were updated yesterday -- not by me, I don't think!    So I think that must be what's causing the problem suddenly.   So I went to Hardware / Drivers -- and the button to Update Drivers is grayed out.
    So can anyone help me (a) turn off the Do You Trust pop-up for my regular computer  , and (b) know how I can get the computer once again to accept the photos on my phone?
    Thanks!

  • Disable TRUST THIS COMPUTER message

    Any way I could disable the TRUST THIS COMPUTER message when I connect to the same pc ?
    Thanks

    After Apple's 10 or so suggestions, including complicated mscongif and regedit approachs, all failed... I found this, easy enough to follow solution that actually worked. in a single user's post in the forums here somewhere.  Can't find it again to say thanks to whoever it was, which prompted me to post it everywhere so everyone else can find it:
    (Note: this is for Windows 8, but the solution for other versions is similar - you might need to try a few other folders, but are still looking for "Apple Device" under "Device Manager".)
    Connect your iPad/iPhone/iPod to your PC
    Go to: Control Panel > Device Manager
    Click on: Portable Devices
    Right click on: Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod > Update Driver Software
    Choose: Browse my computer for driver software.
    Go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    Click okay and everything should suddenly work fine again.  (I can't remember if I had to choose "trust" again, but if I did, I only had to do it the once and everything was fixed after that).

  • When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook.  I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox.  Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

    When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook.  I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox.  Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in? 

    It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.
