IPhone :: 4 Not Starting Automatic Sync When Plugged Into Computer?
Apr 22, 2012
I usually can just plug my iphone into my computer and it will connect and automatically sync, but I just tried it today and it for some reason wont sync.
My iPhone is telling me to plug it into the itunes on my computer but when I do plug it in nothing happens apart from the sound which recognises that it is plugged into the computer and it starts to charge but stops after about 10 seconds, what can I do to stop this happening and to get the phone to syncronize to itunes?
My iPhone 5S charges fine when USB plugged in at wall but when plugged into computer nothing happens. I have tried using a different cable and computer but the same results. Any way to fix this as I would like to sync my phone again?Â
phone has been fine while plugged in, until about 2 minutes ago. plugged it in, tried to pull the notification bar down to switch to mass storage mode and the screen would not respond. took a couple swipes, and it eventually worked after a few tries.it's also doing it in my car dock now too.has been fine, nothing has changed, just started doing it out of the blue.
i cannot turn my i phone on at all,its pluged in on the computer then it says i tunes and shows the cable,i cannot turn it on at all and dont understand why...
I am trying to transfer photos to and from my phone. However, when I plug in my iphone4S into the computer via USB it will not recognize it as a device. I know that the ports work, as the computer recognizes thumb drives, etc.Â
my iphone died and when i plugged it into the computer it just has a flashing apple logo. its plugged into itunes and itunes cant identify that its plugged in.
I have an iPhone 4s and a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with itunes 10.60 (40) running .I have ticked the option in itunes to sync my iphone over wireless. The iphone is connected OK via my wifi network
When I plug the iphone into the mains charger (not connected via USB to the Mac) the sync over wireless does not start. If I go into settings - general - itunes wifi sync on the iphone and chosse to manually start the sync, the sync works fine. But it just will not start automatically when I plus the iphone into the charger,I was under the impression t was supposed to start automatically?
Info:iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.8), iPhone 4S
Trying to sync iPhone 4 to iTunes as I do most days - today I keep getting a message saying 'the sync session failed to start' - can't find a reason why or how to fix it
my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.
Just FYI...I have Hp pavillion g7 notebook PC running windows 8.1 64 bit. I have an interesting case. When I plug my phone into my computer it quickly and automatically pulls up the Photos app that came with the computer. It NEVER did this before, until one day when I transfered some pics from my phone to the computer. Ever since that day this has been happening.Â
In addition, my computer and phone wont sync up so I cant tranfer any music. The computer recognizes the cable (It makes the sound and charges the phone as well as pulling up the photos app) and the phone knows it's plugged in because under settings->iTunes Wifi sync, it says "Sync will resume when 'Computer'sName' is available" However, in iTunes, the sync button is greyed out.
From time to time, I experience that my Xperia X10 does not automatically sync e-mail accounts (using the supplied/standard e-mail application). I've set up a number of e-mail acocunts (6) with different update rates ranging from 15 to 60 minutes. I can go in to one of the accounts, whereby it syncs and I can see that I have received a number of new e-mails (for a period more than 6-12 hours, without receiving any type of notification.
This is really annoying since I miss important emails. What can be done to ensure that they sync automatically and that I receive notifications?
How to prevent automatic sync(e.g mail or notifications from apps) whenever 3G is on. I want WiFi for this work just to save my cellular data. unless i open particular app for update/refresh.
In detail: Whenever i want to use safari for browsing via 3G data, automatically other apps useses internet e.g mail automatically sync with respective accounts and also hundereds of notifications show up which unneccessarily drains my battery as well as 3G data. i just want to use WiFi for any sort of syncing process. In nutshell, i want 3G for only those apps which is presently opened by me while 3G is on. But i dont mind if any apps uses internet while using Wifi is connected!
In the past, I was able to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes in Windows 7 and even charge it using the usb cable but suddently stopped working. After formating the PC and installing everything again the PC the iPhone didn't show up in my computer, so I removed all the usb and I found out that the issue only appears when the Logitech Unifying receiver for my mouse is connected. Obviously, I can't use iTunes without the mouse, so I can't make any backups, transfer music or photos...
My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?
My daughter locked her iPhone 4s and can't remember the pass code. We plugged it into the PC and backed it up/synced phone which reset the automatic time delay, but doesn't unlock it.
My iPhone will not sync to iTunes and transfer all the music i've downloaded to my iPhone. it does not even recognize that my iPhone exists on my macbook. I have updated my computer and iPhone. turned both devices on and off. unplugged my router and plugged back in. removed 3rd party anti-virus software (as others have mentioned that). i even took it tot he apple store to plug it in to their computers and their computers recognize it.
So I think something on my USB port has malfunctioned... it won't show up in the device manager when I plug it in.I have tried the sticky thread on Diagnosing USB Driver and ADB issues in Windows. I have searched the forums and internet and tried lots of driver installs and restart this and that.
Recently this started when I wanted to flash Android 6.0 to my phone. During the install with NRT after each erase and flash it would say Waiting for device, and the only way I would get it to proceed was to plug the USB and plug it back in... Now running Android 6.0 it won`t even recognize my device and won`t pop up the menu to choose your usb connection setting.I have two Nexus 7, one Nexus 7 (2013), and another Nexus 5... and they all work fine and get recognized by the computer.
