Why can not I see my phone?

In order to transfer information from the phone to the computer or vice versa (from the computer to the phone), you need to connect the two devices together. Often there are situations when synchronization does not occur, and it is impossible to transfer data. In this article we will explain why the computer does not see the phone.

1. Damage to the USB cable through which the connection is made. Carefully inspect it and make sure that its surface is unharmed. It is also possible to test another, similar wire, if it is, of course. That is, use it to connect the two devices. If the problem is solved and the computer sees the phone, it means that the non-working wire is guilty, otherwise the cause should be looked for in something else.
2. Why can not the computer see the phone? The problem can be in the USB port where the connection is made. In order to test this, try changing the wire to another connector. If the situation recurs, the USB drivers may have crashed. To update it, update the software that is responsible for their operation. This can be done either with a disk on which drivers are present, or automatically via the Internet (via Device Manager).
3. Lack of software on the computer for the mobile device . Modern PCs and laptops, as a rule, contain the necessary drivers for connecting mobile devices. To solve this problem, it is enough to choose the software for your phone model, which can be found on the official website of the manufacturer.
4. Another reason why the computer does not see the phone, there may be an unconnected mode of connection in the most mobile. In many models now, when connecting to a PC, you need to set parameters. To do this, immediately after the connection, look at the phone screen, and if the device offers us to choose a mode, for example, a hard disk or a specialized program (the variants may vary depending on the model), select the required one.
5. Why can not the computer see the phone? So, if all the measures described above did not help you, and the connection is still unavailable, then check your system for viruses . Perhaps, it is these "parasites" that do not allow you to connect the device, blocking it.
6. Also, there are situations when the PC does not see the phone "Samsung" specifically through the application "Kies". In this case, you can recommend to implement all the previously described actions and reinstall the program itself, perhaps the problem in it.
7. If the computer does not see the " Nokia" phone also through specialized software ("Zune", "Nokia PC Suite"), then the user's actions should be similar.

So, let's summarize: first carry out diagnostics of the hardware parts of the PC and the phone (check the integrity of the wire and make sure that the desired USB connector is working), then check the software (drivers), scan the systems with an anti-virus tool, reinstall the software for the mobile phone. If all the measures applied do not help, it makes sense to contact the manufacturer of the phone and the operating system installed on your PC for technical support.
