When connecting your Windows Phone 8 to your computer, one of the following happens:

•	Your computer doesn't detect your phone.
•	The sync software doesn't open when your phone is connected to your computer.
•	You may get an error related to the connection.

Back to the top

Try the following solutions, in order:

1.	Check your USB Connection • Make sure that you're using the USB data sync cable included with your phone. Don't use a USB hub or the ports located on the front of your computer. USB ports on the front of a computer tend to be lower power. • Check to see that your phone shows up in Device Manager. To do this: 1. For Windows 8 users: From the Start screen, type "Device Manager," tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Device Manager. For Windows 7, Vista, or XP users: Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties. 2. A window will appear with the name of your computer and a list of files. (If you don't see the files, tap or click the name of your computer). The name of your Windows Phone 8 should be listed under Portable Devices. If your computer's Device Manager does not detect that your phone is connected, more than likely it's because there's no physical connection between the USB port on the phone and the USB port on the computer. Possible causes include: • You are not using a good USB data sync cable, like the one that came with your phone. Some phones are also supplied with optional “charging” cables that cannot be used to establish a data connection with your PC. Try another cable, if possible. • There is dust or debris in the USB port on the phone. Try using a can of compressed air to clear the USB port on the phone to ensure a good connection. • The USB port you are using on the computer is bad. Try connecting to a different USB port. (You might also try connecting your phone to a different computer. This will validate whether the problem is with the USB connection on your computer.)
2.	Restart your computer and phone To restart your phone, press and hold the Power button until you see Slide down to power off, then flick down. After it’s off, press to turn on your phone again. a. If this restart sequence doesn’t work for your phone, try one of the following options: • Press and hold the Power button and "slide down" when prompted. After it’s off, press the Power button to turn on your phone again. • If your phone has a replaceable battery, remove and then reinsert the battery located under your phone’s back panel. Then press the Power button to turn on your phone again. b. As soon as your Windows Phone 8 has restarted, follow the manufacturer's recommended steps to restart your computer. c. If your phone is still not detected: 1. Restart the phone while it is attached to your computer. 2. Press and hold the Power button and "slide down" when prompted. Your phone should automatically restart if plugged into a usable USB port.
3.	Update your Windows Phone 8 driverIf Windows Device Manager indicates a device problem or if the driver version of Windows Phone 8 that's installed isn't the current version, update the driver. To do this, follow these steps: a. Connect your Windows Phone to your computer by using the USB cable that was included with your phone. b. Windows 8 users: In the Start screen, type "Device Manager," tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Device Manager. Windows 7, Vista, and XP users: Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties. c. A window will appear with the name of your computer and a list of files. (If you don't see the files, click the name of your computer.) The name of your Windows Phone 8 should be listed under Portable Devices. If Windows Phone was incorrectly installed, it may be listed with a yellow exclamation mark. Or, it may be listed under Other Devices as a USB device or an unknown device. d. Double-tap or double-click Windows Phone (under Portable Devices) or the unknown device to open the Properties window. e. On the Driver tab, tap or click Uninstall. f. In the pop-up box "Confirm Device Uninstall," select "Delete the driver software for this device" and then tap or click OK. g. Return to the Device Manager window.

Restart your computer if you're prompted. To manually download and install the Windows Phone driver: a. Go to http://catalog.update.microsoft.com (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com) . b. Search for "windows phone winusb". You should find "Windows Phone - Other hardware - WinUsb Device". c.

If you use a Mac, use the Windows Phone app for Mac (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/windows-phone-app-for-mac) . If your phone does not automatically direct you to the appropriate application to use, see the article Sync music, ringtones, and podcasts using my computer (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/music/sync-music-ringtones-and-podcasts-using-my-computer) for more information.
