Why my computer doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore?
When i plug my phone into the computer, it charges but it doesn't show up on my computer or itunes. I TRIED things like youtube videos and more but it still doesn't work.It worked before but not anymore.
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job

- Why won't my new computer recognize that my iPhone is plugged in? I recently got a new computer, but all of my information for my iPhone is on my old computer. When I plug up my iPhone to my computer, it doesn't register that it is plugged in. Nothing is wrong with my charger and nothing is wrong with my computer. I don't know what to do to get my information from my iPhone onto my new computer and to my iTunes.
- Why won't my iTunes recognize my iPhone 5c anymore? My iTunes used to always recognize my iPhone, even my laptop right away had something pop up for it when I plugged it in. My brother recently got a new iPhone so he signed into his iTunes and ever since nothing happens when I plug my phone in besides charge it, same for my brother. Is it because he signed in or also because I just updated iTunes? I've tried restarting both my iPhone and laptop.
