Why does my iPhone 6 not show up in my computer when it's plugged in with the USB cable?

Hello
I have an Iphone 6 for about one week now. I would like to view my photos and movies on my laptop (windows 7). But I can't view them because it doesn't show up as a portable device in my computer. When I plug it in I do hear the sound as if any USB would make.
Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot!

I had the same problem on my Iphone 5. It drove me crazy. I tried reinstalling ITunes and my apple mobile device driver, but nothing solved the problem. I was able to detect my iphone in windows if I went to control panel, then programs and features, found apple mobile device, right click, then click repair. This would allow windows explorer to detect my iphone, but I had to do this every time and it also drove me crazy, After trying everything I could think of, I decided to try and uninstall a program called expresso media. I am not sure where it even came from, but walla, once I uninstalled it my iphone shows up in explorer and iTunes just like it should. Simple but frustrating. Good luck,

    It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.

  • I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

    I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

        Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

  • Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

    I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
    Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
    Setup
    So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
    In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
    I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
    At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
    Goal
    However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
    Tried
    So...I click on iTunes DJ.
    I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
    I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
    Problem
    However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
    Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
    Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
    I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
    The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
    Question
    So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
    I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
    ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    Try the following:
    1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
    2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    3. Click Apply
    4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    5. Click Apply
    6. Quit iTunes
    7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
    8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
    9. Open iTunes
    iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.
