Iphone not detected on itunes and DFU mode isn't working

Hi,
I tried updating my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1 , not jailbroken) to the latest firmware using iTunes . I backedup my phone to my computer and proceded to update the firmare . During the process , after a few minutes , my phone just showed the "Connect to iTunes" picture , and the message on iTunes was " itunes is updating the software " .
I waited about 15 mins to see if there was any change or progress .
So I disconnected my phone and reconnected it and iTunes didn't recognize or show any device being connected .
I tried entering DFU mode to restore the phone , but it isn't entering DFU mode ( I tried the 3 sec pressing power/sleep button +10 secs of simultaneous power/home buttons + 10 secs of home button ) . I tried this atleast 30 times . I have successfully entered DFU mode with my previous iphone 3gs few months back , so I know how it's supposed to be done . Still my phone isn't being detected by iTunes .
I unintalled/reinstalled all apple software on my Win7 , (including bonjour, quicktime, itunes , and other apple software) .
And even after that it isn't being detected.
I think I've followed all the advice from different forums on the internet and still not successfull .
Any help would be really appreciated . Thank you

same here
i dont thinkk there is any solution made for this problem

  • Bought alot of games via iphone, not synced to itunes and mobile crashes*

    Hi!
    i Bought alot of games via iphone, wich i have not synced to itunes and my phone crasched! I restored it but now i dont have any apps/games. What do i do? Doesnt itunes save a list of apps that i have bought?

    Your list of purchases is available if you log into your account in iTunes on your computer. You can also re-download apps for free (though you will have to find them yourself in the app store, iTunes won't find them for you) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • HT201263 iPhone not recognized by iTunes and my power button doesn't work

    My iPhone just shut down after a call, battery was around 60%, its power button doesn't work and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I can't put it in DFU mode because that's by pressing home and power simultaneously but I don't have a power button. I can't restores via iTunes because it doesn't recognize it. What am I supposed to do?!!

    Same thing happened to me today...when googling found people having same problem with iphone 4 and said to hold power and home buttons to reboot.  It worked! I was in a panic but its like it never happened...everything is as it was before. Even showed a missed call...

  • Iphone not recognized by itunes and my safari also will not open??? Help??

    I bought an iphone and synced it. When unplugging it, I realized all my apps I downloaded were gone off the iphone (I did find them in the itunes folder however) but the issue is, my Safari and my itunes program will NOT open. They bounce once and that is it, never opens. No errors, nothing. I have been going insane trying to figure out what the problem is. Anyone else have this issue?

  • IPod not detected on iTunes and iPod SW Updater

    Hello, I have a 30GB iPod Photo. Up until the time I upgraded to iTunes 5.01, my iPod would automatically update. Two days ago, I started having problems--I would get an 'unknown error -69' message, after say...200 songs are uploaded onto the iPod. I figured this was probably a software problem, so I downgraded to iTunes 4.9 and an earlier iPod Update. I also tried using System Restore points, but still, my iPod cannot be detected by the software updater and iTunes. I've tried everything the troubleshooters have said to do. Can anyone help me?
    My iPod will not show up in iTunes, and for the updater, it says it cannot mount the iPod, or says to plug in an iPod.
    Windows recognizes it, and I have realized something--when the iPod WOULD work, a little MP3 icon showed up next to the drive letter of my iPod under My Computer. Now, it just shows the icon of a removable disk.

    I'm beginning to think that anything beyond 4.9 is junk for windows. If you can go back to itunes 4.9 then try that and see if it works.

  • IPhone not appearing in iTunes and is not recognized by Windows

    I just got the Iphone with Tmobile and its not working. The screen just show pluged to Itunes

    Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format.  To revert to a more familiar format:
    In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
    1.  View
    2.  Show sidebar
    Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized?

  • Iphone not detected in itunes at all; detected in Windows as camera only

    When my proximity sensor busted on me yesterday the Apple store gave me a completely new phone, except this time they activated it for me. Now I can't get any of my backed-up contents sync'd on account of my lame OS (XP Pro) thinking it's just a camera. I've done the 5 R's more times than I can count, restarted the AppleMoblieService.exe, uninstalled the camera drivers that Windows gave me for the phone. I'm assuming if the phone were yet to be activated it would easily be detected by iTunes but it's too late for that. Or is it? I need help.

    I had the same issue with a new replacement iPhone that I just received. I completely uninstalled all Apple software (itunes, quicktime, Apple mobile device software and Apple software update) and then re-installed itunes from a fresh download and it worked fine after that.

  • After running the recent update Iphone not detected by itunes

    After running the recent iOS update on my iphone4, itunes no longer detects my iphone when I plug into my USB port.  I ran the troubleshooter and got no relief.  The phone also charges much slower from the USB than it used to but still seems to charge about the same when plugged into a separate power source.  The phone also does not indicated it is charging anymore even when plugged into a separate power source. 

    Duh Norm. Didn't find first time through.
    That's why you have 32k points and I have close to zero.
    Thanks much.

  • IPhone Not Detected in itunes on windows

    Right, My iphone works fine on mac no problems but when I try to run it on windows using parallels it doesn't work. It will not show up in itunes at all (on windows). I am sure there is some kind of nube fix for this.
    It does show as being connected to windows in the bottom corner and shows as adding new hardware, I have reset the pc, the iphone.
    Sometimes the iphone pops up as some kind of still camera
    any ideas?
    Thanks

    try this
    first attach iPhone & make sure XP instance "sees it" and is connected to it.
    1. Click Start
    2. Right-click on "My Computer" icon
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. Click "plus" sign next to "Services and Applications"
    5. Click "Service" from that dropdown
    6. Click on Service named "Apple Mobile Device" and select "Restart"
    7. Click on Service named "iPod Service" and select "Restart"
    iTunes should start up & recognize device at this time. Next you will have to step through the sync steps to get your data merged properly.
