IPhone :: 4 Not Recognized On Two PCs Nor Will They Charge It?
Jun 21, 2012
I tried two different USB cables in several different USB ports on both the PCs. Neither computer recognizes it nor charges the phone. But when i plug the iPhone into a wall socket using either USB cable, it will charge.The iPhone was previously recognized by both computers.
My iPhone 4 suddently won't charge anymore nor get recognized by iTunes it's a hardware issue but not sure which part.
Sympthoms:
iPhone 4 not charging via USB connected to Windows PC, Macbook Pro iPhone 4 not charging via wall charger iPhone 4 not being recognized by iTunes in all my computers (tried in 2 Windows PCs, a Macbook Pro) iPhone 4 not being even recognized as some device, It's like it never was connected.
At this moment I have no remaning battery charge so the phone can't be turned on. Before battery was drained, I tried to reset my phone, turn it off/on again, remore all settings (through the phone, because I can't do it through iTunes)
None of this worked. So, I guess it has something to do with the iPhone dock connector..
My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped charging via ANY charge medium, connected directly to USB port with adapter, via an iHome-like stereo, nor will it work in a wall charger. Also, neither a Mac (10.7) nor will a Win 7 computer with updated iTunes recognize it. Every time I connect it I get a message "USB device not recognized and has malfunctioned..." I have already changed the battery out (it was already out of warranty) still not charging or being recognized.
it will not charge. I've been scouring the internet for the last few hours and have been trying to figure it out. I've cleaned out the charging area with a toothpick that I discovered on another board, i tried plugging it back in, it acts like it is going to "connect" but it will not charge, I get the little indicator that looks like a plugin but I still do not get any charge, i have tried two different chargers and nothing is working.
My Iphone 5s will not charge or sync when connected to my USB port on my laptop. I have an HP Envy17 jt-100 running on windows 8.1. I already checked the hardware and don't even see Apple Device anywhere on the drop down menus. When I run diagnostics itunes says no usb ports found when I have 4. I have already tried switching ports, resetting. I know its not the cord because the cord still works with my wall adapter.
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.
I follow all the steps to make my iPhone recognized on iTunes.But it is not recognized on Windows 7. It don't appears on My Computer, and it does not ask for install driver when I plug it in.
HI my 4 S doesn't take the charge any longer, and sometimes when I turn it off and plug it, it takes a little bit of charge but doesn't hold it long, and the phone get super hot. What should I do to fix that problem, I have donwload all the last version and the phone is only a few months old.
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??
So my iphone 3gs 16 gig would not charge. Tried it in the computer and wall charger. i read online and most answers was to get a new batterie. Since my iPhone battery was already bad i bought a new one. I installed it right and it started up. However i pluged it in and it would still not charge. This iPhone has caused me so much time and money im ready to throw it out the window.
Info: iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1, Broke new battery does not start
I bought a new Macbook Pro and copied over my user account from my old mac using Migration Assistant. When I plug my iPhone 3GS into my old mac, both iTunes and XCode know it's plugged in. When I plug my iPhone 3GS into my new mac, iTunes and XCode have no idea that it is there. No response whatsoever.Is there any sort of plist file I can reset?I would prefer not to erase my iPhone if I can help it.
iphone not recognized by mac,i tried rstarting everything.i tried different cables i tried different iphones and i does recognize them.i have the latest itunes
My iPhone 4 isn't showing up on iTunes for Windows 7. It shows that it's charging, but doesn't show up in devices. I tried the iPhone not recognizing troubleshooting, but it hasn't worked either.
I have always hooked up my iPhone 5 to my Dell PC to transfer pictures onto a folder on my Desktop. Now, all of a sudden, I get a message that says the USB device not recognized. The screen also shows the Generic USB Hub (6 Ports) and one of them says Uknown Device.I went to My Computer and saw the iPhone and attempted to transfer the pictures but it failed. A message said that the iPhone was disconnected meanwhile It is connected in the USB port. I thought maybe a USB port was bad, so I rebooted and switched ports but that didn't work. iTunes won't synch up either. I have over 300 pictures and some videos I took of with my son and wife when we were on vacation. I also tried to upload them to the iCloud but not sure if it worked when I logged on iCloud, I didn't see anything. It was the first time I used iCloud as an option came up to email it which I did, but one of the videos was too long so I had to choose the option to save a portion of it. I hooked it up to my HP Laptop and got the same messages the USB device not recognized. The last photo transfer I did was on 07/08/14 and it worked fine.
I just picked up two new nokia icons off ebay.. it was listed as new at least.. came in a box etc..
If i plug it in to charge.. it charges at about 1% per hour if that.. turn the screen on and it drops several percent,. use it unplugged and it rapidly discharges maybe 15% or more in a very short period of time.
Im guessing i got a bad batch?
Its very odd that both phones exhibit the same behavior.. and just for kicks i left 8.1 on one and put 10 on the other.
I have a Bold 9000 and it is draining the battery very quickly doesnt even last a few hours with a couple of calls and when its flat will only charge if I take out the battery and put in on a universal charger it wont charge with the blackberry mains charger, car charger or usb connection.I have bought two new batteries and all the same thing, turned off all applications I can see.The phone was bought new from an ebay seller in December and I cant get any response now from them and they are no longer on ebay.I have seen something about updating the system.
I have a major problem which is scaring me. I recently bought a 3G Iphone from a friend who got a 3GS for christmas. I updated to 3.1.2, jailbroke it, and it's running fine. I have been using it for 1 month now with no issues.
Today I got home to something sad, my phone is currently turned off at 16% battery life. I am unable to charge the phone through my PC, or a wall. I have tried hard reset (holding home and top for 10sec), tried soft reset. Tried multiple PC's in the house, and a Laptop, Tried diff cords. I even tried a "trick" where you press mute on and off 4 times then hold power and home. Still nothing worked. What is unfortunate is that I cannot even get it to be recognized by the PC at all to restore it if this is a software issue. After lots of research im stuck and need some help -_-. The thing is after leaving the gym this morning I decided to listen to music on my Iphone which I always do in the car (I have a USB hooked up to my screen in the car so I can use it to listen to music). Everything worked fine the cord recognized my phone as always. Unfortunatley this never has charged the phone... It says "this accessory isn't made for this product" but still, I am able to pick songs from the screen.
anyways that's just to let you know that the phone is recognized by some plugs, but all the USB plugs in my house, which normally charge the phone are not. So the bottom line is, my phone is at 14% right now turned off. If anybody knows a fix to this or knows if there is anything I can do with SSH (which I luckily have installed on the phone at this time)
Okay I have googled and searched and I can't find an answer.All this over the fact that I can't get my photos from my phone to my PC without emailing them one at a time.So iTunes recognizes and sync's to my phone no problem. But my PC does not see it as a drive/camera..So I can't move my darn photos.I tried doing a restore from backup, I tried messing with the driver nothing.Any ideas would be greatly appricaited. Oh it's a 3G not Jailbroken.I have plugged it into 4 different PC's with no luck.
Usually advice relating to updates on either my iPhone or my iTunes. This time though, both are updated. Have checked several times. When I open itunes, which is working fine, currently talking to my Apple TV and playing tunes, showing photos etc etc, but in the devices section there is nothing...?
I updated my iphone 4s to the IO5 and since then it has been stuck on the connect to itunes screen, then when i went to connect to itunes on my PC the device is not recognized and my iphone is still stuck on the same screen.
I am using the most updated itunes version with windows 7 64 bit. I can connect to itunes with my iphone 4GS, but my old Iphone 3GS isn't being recognized by itunes. I have tried turning iphone off and on and restarting computer. I can connect everytime with my 4GS, but it will never recognize my 3GS.
My Ihone 4s is not being recognized by Itunes.There seems to be no connection, the cable i am using is not the problem because itunes will recognize my Ipad2 and Ipod thru it. I have the most current itunes and phone software
Setting up my new iphone i also connected it to my computer (w7). while synching the computer shut down due to emtpy battery. Problem: now my computer does not recognise the iphone anymore nor does itunes. Yet it still recognises my ipad.
