My computer isn't picking up my iPhone on iTunes but the laptop does?

Have a iPhone 5 updated iTunes to latest version, the desktop is not detecting the phone but the laptop is, they both have the same iTunes version and operating system, it works on the laptop but not desktop. It won't even charge it, I've tried a few cords all with same results.

You can also try a few different USB ports, I have had this problem, it seemed to go away after a while. Other things you can try: log in as the admin, restart the PC.

Try bluetooth connection or other usb ports, to transfer. Also network the iphone with the laptop

  • 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 laptop isn't picking up Internet? So my wireless is turned on, I'm currently connected to it on my iPhone, iPad and my sisters laptop. However, when my laptop searches for Internet, it shows neither my wireless, or my neighbors which is also discoverable by my phone (although locked). What can be the problem? I have Windows 7, it used to work and find the Wi-Fi, then in an attempt to put a password on my Wi-Fi, I'm guessing I must have changed the settings? Any help?
  • My laptop isn't detecting my wifi, but my iPhone and xbox are connected to it? Yeah so for some reason on my laptop the list of available wireless networks isn't showing my connection, but my iPhone and xbox both disconnect and reconnect to it without any problems, and it is providing internet access. I just can't seem to get it on my laptop all of a sudden. Does anybody have any ideas or help on this?
  • 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!
