Laptop won't recognize IPhone [USB]?
I have an iPhone 3G, and its charging port is slightly damaged. I'm no techie, but the best way I can describe it is that the right side of that metal sheet [inside the iPhone] that goes in between the USB/charger is slightly bent. My laptop will not recognize my iPhone any more, I plug it into the USB port and nothing happens.
I can charge it, so I think it's something wrong with the USB port. Could you give me suggestions as to what to do? I used to add music pretty regularly prior to this incident… :/
Happened to me a few days ago. Windows 7 would not detect it. All I did was launch the latest ITUNES and connect the IPHONE to a different usb port. It was detected afterwards.
You might need to open it up and fix it eg replace parts or take it to a repair shop

- Why won't my iphone 4 connect by usb on my laptop? I have a toshiba satellite laptop on windows 8, I've tried to connect my iphone up to my laptop so that I can connect it to iTunes but every time I try to connect it up it connects for a second gets to the charging screen for a second and disconnects again and does that over and over again. So it basically just will not connect properly to my laptop at all. Does anyone know what this could be? Or know how to fix this problem?
- Why is Apple so keen to push USB-C with their Macbooks but they don't include USB-C on the iPhone? It seems like the Macbook department at Apple thinks USB Type C is the best thing since sliced bread but the iPhone department thinks USB Type C is work of the devil.
