IPhone won't connect to computer? - 1

Every time I plug my iPhone 4 into my HP laptop (using windows 8) it asks me if I trust my computer, then when I hit "Trust" it disconnects the phone from the computer, no longer charging or anything. The process repeats a few times, but even when on the occasional miracle it stays connected, iTunes never recognizes the phone. I don't even get any error message it just acts as if it isn't plugged in at all. I have gone through all the troubleshooting steps I've found on the internet, including updating iTunes to 11.1, verifying that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed- it is, verifying that Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, everything.

Go to device manager and search for plug and play.

Is your version of iTunes Windows 8 compatible? There's a version just for Windows 8 on apple.com. Mine works fine with my iPhone 4.

  • My Wi-Fi won't connect on my laptop but will connect to my other devices (an iPhone and iPad)? I have a MacBook Air. Sometimes it does connect but other times it just won't. It takes ages connecting and then in the end comes up with the exclamation mark or is just blank. Is this a problem with my laptop? I've tried researching the problem but have found nothing.
