I accidentally clicked 'don't trust my computer' on my iphone 5, it was a total accident as I wanted to click'trust my computer'. What can I do 2 gt tht message pop up back? I tried resetting my phone n turning it on and off. My PC is windows7

Just reconnect the device.

According to Apple:

"If you select Don't Trust, you will be asked if you want to trust that computer each time you connect your device to that computer."

Is that not happening?

I also accidentally clicked "don't trust this computer".

Now I would like to trust it, it doesn't give me the option again. Regardless of how many times I restart the iPhone or PC or iTunes.

😕 Any ideas?

I also reset factory settings (no luck), and also reset privacy settings (no luck).

I'm not sure, but connect the phone to iTunes, click on its name, then at the bottom of the Summary page click "Reset Warnings"

When the iPhone is connected to iTunes it only gives the option to Restore.

(The top says "Summary" so I am assuming I am on the right page, perhaps it isn't allowing me to view those options because the iPhone doesn't trust the computer)

Hi Rebekah...

This problem seemed to have worked itself out... Somewhere amongst these solutions...

1. Reinstall iTunes

2. Restart computer

3. Restart iDevice

It didn't at first, and I thought to myself... "Oh great, another problem which Apple doesn't acknowledge as existing", but don't worry. Give it a couple of restarts, and if all else fails... Create a new Windows Logon and try from there.

It just happens I was in the middle of reformatting my PC and resinstalling Windows 7, so it wasn't so much an issue when I wiped as it worked when I tried it on a fresh system.

Hope something helps...

I did the same thing but it's not itunes that is the problem for me it's iphoto, everything is recognised on itunes but iphoto starts to load my iphone 4s and the all of a sudden it stops..

i've been told to try and go to general>reset>reset all settings but i don't want to reset all the settings and then it not work :/

The simplest way to fix this on a mac or pc is to.

1. Create a new user account on the PC or Mac

2. Login to the computer using the new account you setup.

3. Connect the iPhone to the computer.

4. When prompted by the iphone to trust this computer click yes.

5. Log out of the new user account.

This process should re establish the trust relationship with the iPhone.

1. Now login to the computer using the original user account you were having the problem with.

This Trust relationship should now be in place.

Hope this helps.

If you've got a mac, this works:

1. Plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, and make sure it's unlocked (screen on).

2. Open safari and go into Preferences->Advanced.

3. Check "Show develop menu in menu bar".

4. In the Safari menu bar, select the newly added "Develop" item.

5. Third in the list should be the name of your phone, for example: "Bob's iPhone".

6. In the submenu (under "Bob's iPhone"), select "Use for development".

7. Your phone should now have popped up the "Trust this computer" question again, just click "Trust" and you're done!

Tested this with an iphone 5c on Mountain Lion.

mdahlstrand,

Worked like a charm. Many thanks!!!

I think this has been covered, but I just had to do this for my wife's iPhone 5. I had her completely reset the phone (i.e. reboot the device), and then plug it back into the Mac, and it reprompted for Trust correctly.

This worked for me too and very quick/easy. Thanks.

It won't pop up every time so now what do I try to get it to pop up trust
