I just installed update version 11.1.4.62.  Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.  My wife just installed the same version with the same result.  The problem is clearly a problem with itunes.  What's wrong with itunes?

I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly.  I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad.  I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc.  I tried diagnostics to no avail.  The diagnostic didn't recognize either device.  As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple  mobile device service,  That didn't work either.  My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem.  She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
Until now, itunes has been totally reliable.  I am convinced the problem is with itunes.  Where do I go from here?

I resolved the issue by doing the following:
1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
2. Uninstall bonjour.
3. Reboot.
4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
It worked.  When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

  • After a recent itunes version update, itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad?

    after a recent itunes software update, itunes does not recognize my iphone 5 or ipad

    Hey there Laughlkw,
    It sounds lik eyou iPhone and iPad are not showing in the iTunes sidebar after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes with the following article:

  • After upgrading to 10.6.3 iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone or iPad

    I was running 10.4.11 and things were working. Just got an iPad, which wouldn't work on 10.4.11 so I upgraded to 10.6.3. Now when I plug in the iPhone to the iMac the only thing that launches is iPhoto. If I open iTunes it does not show the iphone. And plugging in the iPad gets no results either.
    What do I need to do? All help appreciated.

    Embarrassing...I hadn't upgraded the iTunes software.

  • Updated to itunes 10.6.3 and now it won't recognize my iphone or ipad

    Itunes updated to 10.6.3 and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.  I have tried uninstalling itunes and the amds following steps provided on the support site.  Still nothing.  My computer does show both as cameras though.  Any ideas?

    There has to be a fix without doing that.
    You're not using any sort of hub or extender are you? iTunes doesn't always like that.
    Tried different USB ports?
    what operating system do you have?

    Hi there beee19,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

    I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

    The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?

  • Itunes keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn.  Frustrated!!!

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.
    Whenever I plug my iPhone into my computer it starts to charge like normal but iTunes does not recognize it. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple (Downloading the latest iTunes version, reinstalling iTunes, updating the software on my phone, restarting my computer, etc). I've also looked at various tutorials on different websites that showed other methods. Among these methods were going into the control panel Device Manager or the Services program and taking certain steps within said programs. It seems I have tried everything under the sun to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and so far nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do which is why I've resorted to this. Anybody know what might be going on? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my computer with the latest iTunes installed as previously stated. I've also just installed iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and this has not changed anything. If anyone has any idea what is going on and would like to tell me how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you've gone through this article and made sure the Apple Mobile device service is installed and running, you should look at the security software on your computer.
    To make sure it isn't the security software, you can either follow the steps in the article below, or you could just uninstall it and test again. Then reinstall it again when you're done.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G

    Like the title says, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G. What can I do? I have already done the troubleshooting, like dowloaded the newest version of iTunes and Mac OS, started again the computer and so on, but it doesn't help me at all. Is iPhone 3G too old for recognizening, beacuse it can't be updated to iOS 6? Please help me! Thank you.

  • I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

    I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • I upgraded my iTunes to 10.7 on my MacBook Pro - after that iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S 6.0.1 (10A523) in the iTunes sidebar. Solutions?

    I upgraded my iTunes to 10.7 on my MacBook Pro - after that iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S 6.0.1 (10A523) in the iTunes sidebar. Solutions?
    (Both upgrades to the phone and lap-top were done based on Apples suggestion, so I find it strange it doesn't work automatically, which should be a basic reason for choosing Apples costly products!)

    Try rebooting your computer.
    You might also try downloading and installing iTunes 11 which came out today.
