Why won't my iPhone back up to my computer?

My iPhone has been acting strange lately... One night while I was using 3G connection for the Internet, it just stopped loading, and when I tried refreshing the page, nothing would work until I entered somewhere with Wi Fi. It's been that way since then, along with the fact that every time I plug in my iPhone to the computer to charge, the internal storage is nearly full (which may have something to do with the audio; I will need to remove some music). However, every time I connect to the computer to sync, it only stays in Step 2, trying to back up to my computer. Also, all my album artowkr has been wiped off of my iTunes library, which may have something to do with it not syncing all the way. A message has popped up after trying to back up saying "Does not recognize this device." Anybody have any idea what's going on? Thanks!

The device has become corrupted, it needs to be restored.

Why won't my Iphone back-up?

My Iphone 5c says it is in need of a back up but when I tried to back it up onto my Icloud account its say that my apple mobile device isn't running. Did I do something wrong? Is my phone broken? Help please!

That does not compute. Apple Mobile Device Service is used on a computer only, not for iCloud backup. If you want to back up to your computer get the latest iTunes and install it on your computer (http://apple.com/itunes).
If you want to back up to iCloud, on the phone tap Settings/iCloud and tap Backup. Then tap Backup now.

Why won't my iPhone 5S sync with my computer?

I have the grey-dotted circle issue that has been addressed in other discussions before (even though I did not get a straight answer from there). Whenever the iPhone 5S (which is running iOS 8) is plugged in, it says that X amount of songs are greyed out in the 'On my phone' page. Not quite sure how to fix that.
However, whenever I try to 'apply' changes, and sync to the computer rather than iCloud (which by the way is ridiculously slow as well---icloud sync), it will go to 'step 4' or 'step 6' where it's applying changes, or finishing up, and just stays there. It freezes.
This all happened when we tried to sync a new playlist to the device. It said in the play list that there were 250+ songs, whereas only 56 transferred to the phone....(this is where the grey dotted circles in the 'on my phone' screen comes in) Some of the music in our library is older and has been transferred from computer to computer over the years. I've tried de-authorizing the computer then reauthorizing since it said we couldn't authorize more than 5 devices to the same library but that was to no-avail.
We have upgraded our iMac to Mavericks, iPhone to iOS8 and iTunes to 11.4. We rebooted everything yet we are still having issues.
Some help would be appreciated. This device will be used as a music source for a marathon within the next week and we'd like to get the device up and running for the runner who will be in the marathon.
Thank you in advance.

HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?

Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate? Local repair shop said it was a software issue. AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version. Did all that. The switch still won't take it off vibrate.

- How did you delete it? If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
- After charging for at least half an hour try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Open app store, get the message "unable to connect to iTunes store", go to settings, change year to the last year it will let you (think I went to 2038), double tap home button and close app store, go to home screen and then open app store and touch updates panel, should get a message "cannot get secure connection to server or something like that" go back to settings and reset the year to current.

HT4972 Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?

Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
Any ideas?

Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Have you contacted Sprint? See if they can resolve your issue, if you can't get 3G.

Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g? It always only shows LTE

Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g? It always shows LTE instead of 4g. I will be sitting next to someone with the same phone and service and they have 4g and I have LTE.

Yup, you want LTE all the time. As Loquat stated, LTE = 4G
when you are sitting next to someone and the phone says 4G, it is a ATT or T mobile connection. They have fake or faux 4G that is a step down from LTE. It really is 3G+ but they came up with the fake 4G. This is why Verizon put LTE to indicate it is real 4G technology, not hype.
