Why won't my iphone hook up to my computer?

Can anyone help.

i really wqant to upload pics from my iphone to my computer but it woint let me. I plug my iphone 4 into my hp laptop and nothing happens. I've tried countless cords and even a different iphone but my computer won't recognize that my iphone is plugged in and won't let me upload pics from my phone to my laptop. No matter what i do it won't work.

While you can use google to upload/backup pictures if it is directly to you computer you need to follow these steps.
1. Press Start Button
2. Press Control Panel
3. Press Hardware and Sound
4. Press Device Manager
5. Look for a Exclamation Point on any device preferable Universal Serial Bus Controllers and see if it has an error.
6. If TRUE, Then click on it and it should open a drop down window for all Universal Serial Bus components. Then, Click the errored device a property window should appear, Click Driver disable and then enable. Try plugging your phone in again.
-OR-
Update Driver
7. If FALSE, Then you may have a faulty port and there will be nothing I can advise.

I found this solution to work. Try this first:
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
- disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
- connect your USB device
- if ITunes loads, close it.

b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64…"
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device

c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

d) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

f) If you just want to transfer photos from your iPhone to computer, this iPod/iPhone file transfer will help you.

  • My iPhone won't charge no matter what i hook it up to So when i plug it into my home to charge, it does for a second then either just stops or has a plug sign inside the battery. When i plug it into the computer it says that the USB was drawing to much power and was disabled. It said that on both of the computers i plugged it into and with both of the USB's i tried. It is now dead. It just started doing this today and worked perfectly fine yesterday. How to fix this?
  • If I buy an unlocked iPhone 5, can I hook it up to other services? I really want an iPhone 5, but the prices are way too much! 80 bucks for unlimited texting and data, but only 300 minutes of calling? Uh, no. Unlocked iPhones are more expensive up front but can pay off in the long run. If I buy an unlocked one, can I hook it up to Virgin Mobile or Cricket?
  • I want to hook my iphone to a second computer? I used to have a laptop of which contained my ITunes library and I was able to sync my library music to my Iphone (4) and everything was happy.
