Itunes not picking up my iPhone? - 1

When i plug my iPhone 6 into my macbook air, my phone starts charging and iTunes will open, but the iPhone icon at the top left blinks? Like it connects for a second then stops then again. Then after a while a message on my laptop pops up saying: "iTunes can't read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I really don't want to factory reset my phone, is there another way to fix this? Why is this happening? I've plugged it in many times before and its worked fine… I haven't changed anything. I've tried restarting my phone and laptop, I've tried a different USB, but nothings worked!

Make sure you are connected to the internet.

  • Worth picking up an Iphone 4 for $279? It's not the S model, I don't believe, but is that a good price? Or can I find something significantly better for the price? If so, please drop some names for me. Would prefer if this was an established brand - respect by both buyers and tech-savvy reviewers (Cnet.com, etc).
  • Why is my laptop not picking up my Wi-Fi but my iphone is? I have an 'Acer Aspire One Happy 2' laptop that runs on windows 7. I have just gone to my grans and her Wi-Fi works fine on my Iphone 4 but my laptop is not even picking up the signal. My laptop works fine at the Mcdonalds round the corner from me so why isn't it working here. I even typed it in manually and it didn't work, its not picking up any signal at all
  • My iPhone isn't picking up any Wi-Fi? Last week my iPhone's Wi-Fi just stopped working. It isn't picking up any networks, not even at home. My brothers iPhones are working fine on the home network but mine isn't. Whenever I click on it, it just loads and stops - nothing else. It won't let me type the password!
  • My Iphone 6 has issues picking up the Wi-Fi signal? I recently bought an used Iphone 6 online however I was never infomed that the phone had issues picking the Wi-Fi signal. I literally have to be sitting next to the router in order to get Wi-Fi and already tried all the options I've read to fix it. I would like to know what could be wrong with the phone? If one of those repairs store could fix the problem? And around how much would the cost be? If anybody has had the same issue or have seem it before!
