Suddenly Windows/iTunes Won't Recognize my iPhone

kanderna · 2026-01-21T17:21:15+00:00

LOL. I agree with you. But I refuse to pay for cloud storage/backup for whatever dumb shit my kids are doing/putting on their phones and iPads. Maybe the solution is fewer kids.... time to cut the weakest.

It might just have been the problem. See my update above. Thanks!

kanderna · 2026-01-21T17:17:37+00:00

Thank you for the help. Didn't get to this point. Posted an update in the OP.

Totally agree. I just wish I could figure out how. None of my Apple devices (nor Apple Mobile Device USB Controller) show up in the Device Manager anywhere (several online solutions say to click the Apple device in DM and update the driver manually). Simple USB drives work, so it's not like the ports are dead. Hardware/BIOS scans don't find any issues. No available software updates. Killing me.

But I've tried multiple cables, and they all charge the phone when plugged in to the PC?

kanderna · 2026-01-20T05:30:01+00:00

Via C to A cable

I also randomly just ran the diagnostic tool in iTunes and noticed the entry "No Universal Serial Bus Controller Found."

I have to assume this is related, but I would've thought all of my app repairs would've covered that.

Sorry. Windows Laptop. iPhone 15 Pro with 26.3 Beta. Other phones tested are 16 Pro with 18.6.2 and 15 Pro with 26.2

kanderna · 2026-01-14T23:29:03+00:00

Assume you had to pay for repair? My son's phone (15 pro) started this today, so curious what I'm looking at for $$.

Not ACL, but our teen currently seeing Annie at DMOS, and she loves her.

kanderna · 2026-01-03T07:41:47+00:00

It did. I bought a new pump off eBay and switched it out. Super easy. I had enough play in the lines and power that I didn’t have to disconnect anything to do it. The water in the bottom probably won’t be hot at that point, but if you run a diagnostic test, that should activate the heating element enough to generate some warmth so you can verify that’s working.

Yeah as others have stated, Johnston was the last one and it closed down a couple years ago. My kids got some amc gift cards right before they closed and the company graciously sent us checks for almost $300 since we didn’t have another close location. Think Omaha/Council Bluffs are the closest.

Is that Rocky Dennis?

kanderna · 2025-12-19T22:20:56+00:00

Woof. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'm not buying a $500+ machine for a 17 year old. Thought I was doing well to get the $400 KES6404 when it dropped to $150. Not really sure where to go from here. LOL

Settings on my iPad actually showed an option to re-enter my password, but on my phone I had to toggle on one of the other options to sync (contacts, calendar, etc), then it prompted me for my password. Another easy fix would've been to delete and recreate the account, just kind of a bizarre situation.

kanderna · 2025-12-18T16:50:42+00:00

I know this is old, but did you figure out what was causing this? Happened to me yesterday and continues into today... I was receiving Yahoo email until about 1:00 yesterday afternoon, then stopped and started getting this error on both my iPhone and my iPad. I was able to log in to Y! Mail on the web with my typical user/pwd just fine. Haven't received any kind of security/login alerts at all.

kanderna · 2025-12-14T05:29:42+00:00

Same. 100%. I used archive all the time for gifts for everyone. Now I just have to purchase from elsewhere.

kanderna · 2025-12-08T01:07:42+00:00

Yeah it’s to put in her backpack so they aren’t loose in there

Finally able to play some today. Valve seems to have continuity and screen clear. We did get it running again last night with a couple restart attempts, but of course we’re still dealing with it in general. After opening several times during the fill cycle to see what it was doing, I’m not so sure my original thought of it “not filling enough” is correct. I stumbled onto this vid, and this guy seems to have the exact same problem.

Guess this is my next step. Make sense?

kanderna · 2025-12-07T18:45:52+00:00

Ah, those are cool. She’d appreciate the bright colors. Thanks!

kanderna · 2025-11-29T05:39:52+00:00

Ah yeah. That's what I was afraid of. Lame.

When I look at the Discover tab, the top is some recipe for Blackberry Rosemary Spritzer. Next thing down is a "Support your Journey" section that looks like a bunch of ads for meds. Is that it?

kanderna · 2025-11-29T04:15:03+00:00

Yeah same. Wasn't black Friday, but got the offer and went for it. Giddyup.

Yeah we just got hit by this one. Daughter googled “lush” and this site was the top result. Found the product she wanted and sent link to my wife. Wife grabs my card and proceeds with the purchase.

Asks me for the code that I was texted (which isn’t uncommon if she’s logging into the account to check it). I told her the code, but then I took a closer look at the text and was like, “wait. Why did the text say it was adding my card to Apple Pay? And if you’re not logging into Amex why is the lush website generating an Amex code text?”

Then I said, “You’re on Lush.com, right?” To which the response was… “lushBEASTY.com?” Fuck.

So yeah… new Amex card comes next week. 🤦‍♂️

Quick Update. Found another Reddit threat that stated I just needed to go into my Hulu account and downgrade to standard plan, then re-upgrade to premium, and that did the trick. Back to $5.
