IPhone :: 4 - Won't Charge And Computer Won't Recognize It
May 16, 2012
I plugged my Iphone4 into the USB and it will not connect to my charger or computer. Therefore it won't charge. I turned my phone off and it is showing that it needs to be charged but is not recognized by my computer and won't charge via wall charger. Yes, I have tried different cables and still no luck.
My iPhone 4 will not connect to my MacBookPro. It will not charge on my MacBookPro, but it will charge on a wall socket and it will play music in a 3rd party speaker system??
Today I went to use my phone, noticed it had a low battery and went to plug it in.
I plugged it into the wall with the charger and cable it came with. Nothing. I used my charger that came with my iPad. Nothing.
Switched the cables, used different outlets. Nothing. Used every cable I have on every port I have on my laptop. Nothing.
I've restarted it, restarted my computer with it plugged in, let it sit a while off, let it sit a while on while plugged in. I just don't know what else to do with it. It has the latest update as of about a week ago. I'm a bit far from the closest Apple store and rely on my phone for my income.
Iphone would not charge (wall charger). Plugged into computer and Itunes message said update itunes before iphone can charge. Did that? Now itunes will not recognize iPhone nor will it charge. Have uninstalled everything and reinstalled(twice). Have reset phone multiple times.
I got my iPhone 4s back in October, and it worked just fine when syncing with iTunes and all that. Recently however, like in the last 3 weeks or so, whenever I try to plug it into the computer, my computer won't recognize it. It dings like I've inserted a USB, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer" or iTunes, and does not charge. I have tried two different cords. I tried plugging it in on my dad's Macbook, and it was recognized immediately, so I don't think it is the phone. I followed all the steps listed on the Apple technical website, and nothing has worked. I've restarted my phone, reset my phone, updated iTunes and restarted my computer, but to no avail. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 and am running Windows 7. It charges just fine when plugged into the wall using the same cord. Other USB's work fine when plugged into the computer.
Whenever I try to plug my iPhone into my windows laptop to charge or sync music to or whatever, it just doesnt appear to recignise it at all. It doesn't appear in the Devices tab of iTunes, and doesn't appear in Devices with Removable Storage under My Computer.
I just plugged my brothers phone into my laptop and it recognised it perfectly! It appeared in both My Computer and iTunes...
when I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't recognize it, ive tried using different cables, differnt computers, updating my phone software, updating iTunes and none of it works, also when i want to charge my phone I have to turn it of, connect the wall charger to it, and turn it back on in order for it to start charging.
Why I first bought my Verizon 8gig iPhone 4, I plugged it into my laptop and began following all the steps to link it to my itunes( upgraded from black 8gig i4 to this white one) it was working fine, and my laptop died halfway through the process. Ever since my laptop never even made the noise when I plugged it in. It wasn't a huge issue, as I only used my phone for pictures, texting, and calls, and facebook, but now my memory is full and I need to get files off it. I borrowed my girl's laptop and i found out that it doesn't get recognition from ANY computer.
I went through the provided troubleshooting on the support site and everything seemed normal. But I then realized that the apple mobile USB driver is not showing up in the device manager.
I recently updated to iTunes 10.6 and now iTunes and computer will not recognize iPhone. Tried going to a different computer (with 10.6) and it will not be recognized on it either. It will charge.Tried hard reset on phone. Tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes. Went to Device Manager...cannot find anything for Apple.
I plug my phone in and a message comes up saying "This Iphone can not be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". i have had this happen before but cant remember how to reset my computer so it reconizes my phone.
My computer running on windows does not recognize my phone as anything other than a camera, so i cant sync, update etc. The computer still recognizes my husbands phone.
My iphone wont work on my new Gateway desktop computer. It wont even charge. Ipad works fine. My iphone works on my laptop but I have Carbonite on my desktop.
I just bought an Iphone 4s and as my mac is pretty old (10.4.11), it doesn't seem to want to connect to Itunes version 9.2.1 (4)). My computer won't support a newer version of Itunes. So it seems my computer is too out of date to support my phone. I'm a little lost at what to do next. I tried all of the troubleshooting as well as the post-troubleshooting options I found and nothing works. Any way around all of this without buying a new computer or completely revamping my current one?
When I conect the iPhone 6 to my computer (Windows 7), don't recognize it. Already installed the new version of iTunes and don't has problems with the
iPad 2 and remove the older iPhone from the account. I go to Control panel (Device Manager), but the iPhone don't appear and also with other cable and try in all USB ports of the computer. I don't know what to do?!?!
Computer doesn't recognize my iPhone 5s, not in photo's, not in iTunes. However it takes immediately my 3s ? Can't use my pictures taken with the 5s nor use iTunes. What to do?
I have just upgraded and got a new iphone 4s. When i plug it into the the computer the phone does not make the noise that it should (the same noise when you put it on charge) the computer does not recognise the phone as any form of device or driver, the computer doesnt even charge the iphone. I have opened itunes manually and tried to force connection this way but that didnt work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of itunes and can also confirm that the apple mobile support is installed, I even repaired it just to be sure.I have tried 3 different cables and 3 different USB ports but still nothing.What makes this even more frustrating is that the computer and itunes does recognise my partners iphone 4.
When I connect my phone to my computer it makes a noise but doesn't show the iPhone under my computer it also doesn't charge the iPhone when it is connected to it except for a few seconds when I reboot my laptop. When I search under Device manager there is absolutely nothing there. I was attempting to restore my phone yesterday and couldn't do it on my phone alone nor when plugged into my computer so I restored it to a back up on another computer. Also every other computer I've plugged it into recognizes it right away but none of the other one's are mine please assist I don't want to lose all my app's and music thats stored on this computer and I'm going off to college in the fall.
