Iphone no longer recognized in itunes

My iPhone is no longer recognized in iTunes.  I can see it as a device in Windows, but it no longer appears in iTunes.

Well, after going thru the Apple fix of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (and all related products), it now recognizes the iPhone.  Why is it I have to spend 2.5 hours going thru this process instead of Apple releasing only tested and proven products?  The same thing happened with my first iPhone when I brought it home and installed it, it blew up Windows.  I had to do a system restore. Look if you guys don't want to seriously support Windows, fine just say so.  I'll move on to a Windows phone and be perfectly happy. 
My first computer was an Apple 2+, but I got driven off by high pricing and limited software.  Apple people like to make fun of Microsoft, but I haven't had these kind of problems with Windows since about Release 2.something. 
I'm done screwing around with you guys.  Call me if you ever start to act professionally and get it right.

  • IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

    Hi
    My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
    Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
    This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
    Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
    cheers, Roland

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.

  • IPhone no longer recognized by iTunes

    I've searched the forum for this topic. I've done ABSOLUTELY every suggestion in each one of them. iTunes will still not see my iPhone. The only time I was successful was with msconfig. I had to turn bonjour service on. start iTunes. then I was prompted to turn on Apple device thingy. Turned it on, plugged in phone, and it showed up. Left both services running and automatic, rebooted. Itunes refused to recognize iPhone again. I am completely fed up with this thing. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    hi. i had same prob with my 3G and the missus 3Gs.
    spent a good hour or so on phone to apple support being run through a million and one things to try, to be eventually told it was an issue with microsoft, and not apples itunes update. despite my words to the contrary, he said he couldn't help me any further.
    luckily i have tech geek friend who looked into it and gave me some directions to look for, and it turned out to be the apple mobile device driver. it was missing or incomplete in the update. eventually got it sorted by updating the driver, but i had to do it for each device. for some reason just updating it didn't work for all devices in one go.
    trouble is i cant for the life of me remember where i found the update. i'll keep looking, but i hope that maybe this helps, cause since doing this action, neither phone has had an issue with itunes.

  • Since installing Leopard, my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes.

  • Iphone 5S no longer recognized in ITunes and so cannot sync

    Iphone 5S is no longer recognized in ITunes so it cannot sync.  I am not seeing the driver listed and therefore the recommendation to repair the driver does not work for me.  Have rebooted, deleted Itunes and reuploaded many many times.  I have read and tried all the "Apple" fixes listed.  I use Kasperasky Anti-Virus and wondered if that could be blocking the driver needed.  I have added the Apple programs to Kaspersky's exclusion list but that did not work.  Seems ridiculous to spend any more money to download songs in ITunes if I can never sync my Iphone 5S to get them on my phone.  Apple techs, please help - just recommending the standard fixes I keep reading has not helped at all.  Anyone else have a different suggestion?  Thanking you in advance as I've spent so many hours on trying to find a fix.

    Thank you for your suggestions but I still have the problem.  The Iphone 5S is not recognized and I have deleted Kaspersky off my computer (and still have not put it back on yet).  I still do not see the Apple Mobile Service USB Driver listed.  I had done this process previously (several times) but went through it all again in your order just in case I missed something.  I am wondering if there is a way to go back to the previous version of ITunes in case it was the ITunes update causing me the problems.  I do not think I can blame it on Kaspersky since it is not on my computer now and I have the same problem.
    I also notice that the Iphone is not listed in my devices in Windows 7 - not sure if it was before or is suppose to be for sure - but just noting it is not. I tried the option to add devices but Windows does not find the Iphone 5S.  Just thought I would add that information in case that should lead to a solution.  Again thanks for your time - would appreciate any other suggestions.  I don't think you can use Apple Support without paying money so would like to find help from someone else having the problems.  I think it is odd so many people are having problems with their phone being recognized or sometimes just it syncing - and various steps have helped others (like uninstalling and re-installing).  Thanks for any help.

  • I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

    I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

    Maybe it would have been a better idea to confirm that iTunes is supported in Windows 8 before buying a computer with that Operating System.
    There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.

    Hi ...thanks for trying to help.
    When I plug my ipod in via USB it attempts to find and install the driver software.  It always fails and I get the message "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.  Windows found driver softtware for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it - Apple mobile device USB driver.  The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request"

  • My iphone no longer connects to itunes

    My iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes as it has for over a year.  iTunes and all other software run correctly otherwise.  I've run through all the Apple tips, including reinstalling iTunes, although I didn't delete any files first as Apple suggests.  The iPhone driver shows correct operation in the hardware config file.  I suspect some routine security update is the problem as I do keep my software up-to-date.  I've never had a problem with the iPhone previously, or the connection to iTunes. I'm running out of ideas. The system is a Lenovo T510 Thinkpad in excellent condition, Vista 64 bit os.  Any suggestions would be appreciaed as I'm out of ideas for now.

  • Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

    Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
    iTunes 10.3.1
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs.  I have tried the following steps:
    -Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software.  Did not work.
    -Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
    -Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
    -Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
    -Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
    I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked!  Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
    Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone).  This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes.  It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
    I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again.  This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze.  I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
    One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
    Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

    Nope, haven't been able to fix it.  I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt.  They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
    So frustrating.  I can't get apps to sync either.
    At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
    For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it

  • My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

    Hi There,
    The title actually says it all..
    (My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
    The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
    I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Eric

    Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you.  Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

  • Ipod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by Itunes

    pod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by iTunes
    Today have been the problem that my ipod touch 4G is no longer recognized by itunes. He'll appear in My Computer as a DigitalCamera etc, but not in itunes. I've already uninstalled Itunes + Ipod rebooted and then installed it to try a different USB port + different USB cables, all useless. No jailbreak.
    Got it now put into DFU mode and restore to read, unfortunately it is still not recognized by my PC but only on the laptop so I must go to my mum´s Laptop and everything transferred from there again ... pity me here is displayed only when the restore Ipods "Can not restore: errorcode 21" or something like that.

    I've now uninstalled the USB device driver but now my iPod listed as a "portable device" and no longer listed under Apple MobileDevice
