Why does my windows 7 pc not detect my iphone 5 when i connect via USB?

Your usb ports have probarbly broke it happened to me

I had the same problam but with a Nokia Lumia you will need to download Itunes for your computer to detect it. (This might not work)
Hopes this helps.

Simple… Apple products do not play nicely with other products!

use an apple laptop and you'll have no problem with your iphone connectivity.

itunes on your windows laptop will help though.

incidently, how are you finding your iphone5 with it's extremely out of date technology and spec?
