My iPhone device no longer recognized in iTunes.  What can I do?

I just did a reset and that fixed it. You know how to do a reset? Hold the home and off buttons down at the same time unitl it goes off and then comes back on again. Then let them go. Try it. It worked for me.

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

    Since installing Leopard, my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes and cannot synch, my music, videos, address book, and calendar. Could you let me know how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPhone again? It is odd since i plug the iPhone into the iMac and it is no longer recognized in iTunes and my address book and calendar. It worked fine before installing Leopard. You assistance is greatl

  • 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.

  • TS1363 Our two iphones are no longer recognized on iTunes

    Our two iphones are suddenly not being recognized on iTunes.   In fact, when we go to "file", then "devices" and try to click on something under devices, it won't let us, i.e. nothing happens.    Tried deleting iTunes and uploading again.   Still didn't work.   BEFORE we tried deleting itunes and downloading it again, I tried to go on itunes to sync my new upgraded iPhone 5c.   No luck.   Back before I upgraded from my 4s to the 5C (in January 2014) I had noticed that all my regular phone contacts had disappeared to be replaced by some of my facebook friends.      It continued to still be that way up until yesterday, when I tried to sync my new phone to itunes.   I ended up spending a VERY long time on live CHAT with Apple support.     She suggested (after helping me for a LONG time) that I delete itunes from my desktop and download it again.    She led me thru the steps to delete and download again.   We knew that in the course of this help, we would lose our chat.    After re-downloading itunes, I still couldn't find my iphone on itunes.  Last night I requested a call from apple support.   They called promptly and to make a long story short, he had me go thru the process of deleting my phone and then reloading my phone to the most recent sync, which was in January fo 2014, thinking that all my original phone contacts would be there, and everything would be fine.    At the time, itunes appeared to be working (with this young man's help).   I had one more backup listed on my itunes account from July 2013, so he said to try syncing my phone to THAT backup date.   It didn't bring up an error code, but said it had "failed."
    So off and on all day today, I have been plugging my phone in and trying to find it on iTunes.   Nothing, nothing, nothing.   Very frustrating.   I am wondering if going in person to an Apple store would help me more, and if THEY would be able to get my old contacts back.   BUT that still doesn't help with not being able to find our phones on itunes.
    Any ideas?

    I just bought the new iPhone 4, having previously used the iPhone 3G. The old 3G no longer has phone capabilities (of course), however, I was wondering if I could continue to sync it on iTunes to keep the applications and podcasts up to date? Will iTunes preclue me from syncing two iPhones? Will iTunes not reconginze my new iPhone 4 if I sync the old 3G? I want to make sure that I don't mess up the new iPhone 4 before trying this.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Shouldn't be a problem. I'm syncing two iPhone 4 units, an iPad, and an old iPhone 3G used as an iPod. All can be synced at the same time. You might need/want to rename the 3G if you kept the same name for your iPhone 4.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

    I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
    My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
    Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
    I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
    The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
    The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

    Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

  • IPhone 3G no longer recognized by iTunes

    I don't know what happened. I haven't changed any settings on my pc. I updated my phone software to 4.0.2 last week with no apparent problems. I think I've charged on my pc since but can't remember for sure. Now when I hook to usb, it goes on and off. Like not the power, but it (the iphone) will connect and show charging and I get the windows message that the apple camera is connected and what do i want to do. then it blinks off, like shows my welcome screen, not charging. then a few seconds later it shows up again and shows to be charging. it goes through this over and over. And iTunes does not recognize the iphone, says an error occurred.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Perhaps a failing USB port (check with another device) or a failing iPhone docking cable. Could also be some debris in your docking port on the phone - have a look.

  • 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 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.
