How do I re-allow iTunes to access my iPhone

Using:
iPhone 5s (just updated to iOS7.1 last night)
iTunes 11.1.5 (updated two days ago)
What happened:
I connected my phone to my computer today, and I opened iTunes. I immediately saw a message on my phone saying "Do you want to trust this computer". I selected "Trust" on the phone.
Then, iTunes kicked up a dialog saying "Do you want to allow iTunes to access this phone?". I clicked "Yes". And then I got the dialog "To allow, please respond on your iphone". But nothing ever happened - just infinite waiting (hours).
So I clicked "stop" - thinking I could reinitiate the process again. But now iTunes doesn't react at all when I connect the iphone.
What I think happened:
I tested an old iphone to check (with iTunes already open). I connected the phone. And first I got the iTunes dialog about "allowing access". Then once I allowed, it prompted the phone to give me the dialog box to "trust" the computer. And everyhting is ok.
What the problems are:
1) If the dialog box on the iphone to trust the computer is supposed to be prompted by me on iTunes, then why did it come first on my 5s. And since I already told the 5s to trust the computer, why isn't itunes able to see that I've already told the phone to trust the computer.
2) Since it seems I'm in a dead end, is there a way to prompt iTunes to ask again to access the phone so I can redo the whole process?
Thanks!

Sorted it folks. Sorry to taking up bandwidth.
Solution was the classic:
-Restart computer
-Restart iphone
Now iTunes just recognizes the phone without any of the "trust" dialogs reappearing (even though I "stopped" it before). Odd - but sorted.
Though, I would still love to know if anyone knows if there's a way to reinitiate the "access/trust" dialogs a different way.
Have a great day.

    You need to follow the instructions in this article that best apply to your situation:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If you do not have a backup in either iCloud or iTunes, then you will have no way to retain the information on your device because you will have to restore it in order to access it again.

    RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
    With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
    That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Genius and Disabling Itunes Store but allowing Itunes U Access bug?

    If I disable the Itunes Store in Parental Settings but allow Itunes U access then Genius disappears and cannot be used. Does anyone else have this problem??
    If I disable the Itunes Store in Parental Settings completely (and not allow Itunes U access) then Genius works fine.
    Am using iTunes 9.

    This is still not fixed in iTunes 9.01

  • How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

    How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
    Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

    When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
    Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

  • How do I create different iTunes library for different Iphones in a family

    how do I create different iTunes library and Syncing Iphone separately using same desktop PC?

    The best way to set it up in my opinion is to have each user have there own user account on the computer. This way information is stored separately and easier to locate and navigate through.
    If you want to have it this way but would rather go through and log into different iTunes libraries on the same user account follow this article. If you do it this, it would work the same you just want to make sure the correct library is open before syncing the device.

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.
