oldjohnt Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This IS RV related, I'm in the RV on a road trip using my laptop to work with RV and road trip pictures... It worked the other day but NOT NOW. Wife plugs apple furnished cord into her I Phone 6 and other USB end into my laptops USB Port. The other day computer instantly recognized it (soon as cord plugged into USB Port) as Apple storage device then we went to DCIM pictures and copied her I Phone pics into computer. HOWEVER today no matter how many times I boot and re boot or plug and unplug and re plug USB and she has her phone off or on or in pics or anywhere MY LAPTOP DOES NOT SEE OR RECOGNIZE OR ACKNOWELEDGE ANYTHING WAS PLUGGED INTO THE USB EVEN THOUGH IT DID YESTERDAY. Its not recognizing anything is plugged in grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is it my computer problem or a setting on her I Phone????????? John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaltoolguy Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Have you checked Device Manager to be sure your USB ports are still active? Just guessing here. Is your laptop an Apple or a PC? Ray 2001 Fleetwood Southwind 32V 2011 Scion XB toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjohnt Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 YES other devices work in that USB Port. Its a PC with Windows 7. Worked fine other day. I tried the EJECT USB devices that didn't help. Its NOT in my computer not recognizing when plugged in like it used to. John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthofBorder Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 An easy way for connection pc / tablet and cell phone. Buy a bluetooth for your usb connection (chinese one are around 5.00 $) and once your PC paired the cell phone or tablet, you will transfert easily apps or pictures or songs. Give a try.

oldjohnt Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 THANKS ALL heres an update: So, I tried a Apple phone to USB cable I bought off flea bay for like 99 cents AND IT WORKED. The phone popped up a warning message saying something like "this is NOT an Apple approved cable and you may get AIDS and E bola if you use it" (perhaps I embellished), but it can be ignored AND IT WORKED the computer instantly recognized it as APPLE and I got the pictures off her phone onto my computer. Oh well so much for original Apple furnished cable John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjohnt Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 No pets, we gave that up when we started extensive RV travel. Just a darn bad Apple cord it looks like, the 99 cent E Bay cord works lol John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthy-beast Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Try a different USB port. You can also try deleting the device and from device manager and scan again. Many times either of these processes correct for a PC not recognizing a USB storage device that has worked in the past. Also make sure to eject the device before unplugging, this seems to help keep this from happening. 2020 Platinum F350 6.7L CC DRW, 2021 Riverstone Legacy 37mre 5th wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
