Why isn't my computer recognizing my iphone when it's plugged in via USB cord?

I have tried using multiple USBs and, while they're charging my phone, it's not recognizing my iPhone on iTunes. My computer is making the noise that the phone was plugged in but then a message pops up on my iPhone asking me if I trust the computer I am using, either Trust or Don't Trust. When I press Trust, my computer makes the noise that the USB cord has been unplugged and my phone continues to charge. I really want to sync my iPhone up with my iTunes, but because of this, I am not able to. I would really appreciate some assistance.

  • Why does my iPod show up in iTunes when it is not attached via usb? nor is it being charged.

    Is it something to do with how my wireless setup is set?  Or is it due to the new iOS 5 or iCloud.  Unless I have a logical answer, this is going to be a standing annoyance.

    If it's the same on the iPod, as it is on the iPhone, then you probably have "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi" enabled:
    Click on your iPod under "Devices" in iTunes and check the "General" tab.

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does the computer have iTunes 10.7 or later?
    Does the iPod charge?
    Some 5G iPods were shipped with defective Lightning cables.
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod, cable or computer problem.

  • My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

    first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
    second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

  • My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?

    My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
    I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
    WHAT to do? I got it today.

    When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Why isn't my iPad2 charging its battery when connected with my iMac?

    Why isn't my iPad2 charging its battery when connected with my iMac?

    A lot of computers, especially older ones (I don't know how old yours is), don't provide enough power through their USB ports in order to charge the iPad - it may still be charging, but at a low rate (it may charge quicker if the iPad's screen is off). If you want to charge it at a reasonable rate then the wall charger is better.

    skinaked101,
    Look no further help is here! I can understand the importance of being able to keep your pictures safe on your computer.
    Have you tried using different USB ports on your computer, as your fellow community member suggested?

  • Why does deleted content reappear on my iPhone when I connect via USB?

    I recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S, and I'm having an issue that's never been a problem before.  I notice that music or video that I delete from my iPhone reappears when I connect to iTunes via USB.  Nothing is moved over, either: the videos are just listed as if never removed.
    I am deleting this videos by swiping across after viewing on phone.  They disappear, so I am not overlooking anything on that front.  Similarly, I don't sync video or music -- I have manual management checked in iTunes.
    Any ideas what might be happening, and how I can fix it?

    And almost 2 years later this is still happening - I delete TV Shows and Movies from my iPad 2 (iOS6) or iPhone (iOS6) and as soon as I connect the devices to my mac by USB they reappear (even though my setting is to manually manage everything). This then screws up syncing like this morning where I tried to add 2 new movies - as it was syncing I realised that the previous 2 had reappeared so I wouldn't have space to add them. I deleted them via iTunes and the sync appeared to be successful - until I turned on the iPad on the train to be greeted by a message saying that the 2 items couldn't be synced.

  • I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any computer?

    I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any printer?

    Sorry but no. iOS does not support connecting a printer via USB, only via WiFi, and without such support there's no way a developer can build an app to provide such capability.

  • How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

        How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?  Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
        Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer.  But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
        (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
    thank you!

    Turn off mobile data?
    Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.
