Iphone 4 will not charge when connected to computer via USB?
I just downlaoded iTunes and wanted to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer to get some songs off of it until i noticed that nothing happens when i plug it in. I tried plugging it in to another computer and still nothing. I used three different cables and checked all 7 of my USB ports. My computer even recognizes my old iPod but not my phone, and my iphone does still charge when plugged into the wall. I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it, restarted my computer, everything i could think of and i spent hours googling everything and nothing will fix it (btw my phone software is up to date also). My phone has not been plugged into a computer for at least a year or two. If somone could help i would greatly appreciate it.
During my experiences in the Tech industry your best bet is to either:
1) Buy a new cable, it's most likely the wires are damaged and can't be used for the connection.
2) Check your iPhone charging entry (The bottom area) maybe there's something preventing that!
Best of luck
Cheers.
It seems [the hole where your wire is plugged into] on your phone is probably dirty. Clean it out, simple as that.
- Turn iPhone into as it were an internet router via USB? Is it possible to use your iPhone as if it were to be an internet router, using a computer's internet connection instead of 3G/4G data? I don't have a data plan, and usually I'm in a place without a hotspot nearby.
- Traveling overseas. Need to charge my e cig which i normally charge thru a usb adapter plugged into an iphone charging block Is it safe to charge it like this when the power is 220? Will my e cog get fried or does the charging block regulate the current output?
- My iPhone will not charge via wall charger? I have an iPhone 4S that will not charge via the Apple Wall Charger. I took it to my local Sprint store and the guy there said it is the cord and he could sell me a new cord, then later I took, it to the Mall of America Apple Store and they said it is the device itself. I have already tried a reset (to no success ) and am doing a restore, what other suggestions do you have?
- My iphone says i'm connected to Wi-Fi but when i try to run something it says i'm not connected? My phone shows signal, it has a check mark by the device but when i try to open an app it says can't find a connection.
