Hey nari160,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. From what it appears, your iPhone isn't being detected by iTunes on your Windows PC. If that is the case, follow the steps below or in this article: If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad.


1. Look in the iTunes
On a PC with iTunes for Windows, look for your device in iTunes.
Learn more about viewing your device in the Finder or iTunes
 
2. Update the software on all devices
Update your iPhone or iPad
Update your Windows PC

On your PC you might also need to update iTunes and update drivers.
 
3. Connect your device directly to your computer
Make sure that your device is unlocked and showing its Home Screen, then use a USB cable to connect it directly to your computer. Don't connect to a USB hub, display, or other device. 

If that doesn't help, disconnect your device and all other USB devices and accessories from your computer. Then reconnect only your device. 
 
4. Trust your computer, if asked
If you see a “Trust this Computer?” alert on your device when you plug it into your computer, tap Trust.

5. Allow the accessory to connect

6. Restart your devices

7. Try a different port, cable, or computer
The issue could be related to your computer, its USB port, or the USB cable connecting it to your device. If possible, try a different computer, USB port, or USB cable. Also check for any debris in the charging port on the bottom of your iPhone or iPad.
