Why is it whenever I download the latest version of itunes, it cant detect my iphone?

It's the second time, as I've not had my iphone for long, but the 2 times I've downloaded an update for itunes, it hasn't been able to detect my iphone, and this is after the checking of USB ports, turning my phone off and on again, and restarting the pc. 
   Does anybody know why this keeps happening and, if so, how I can avoid it in future?
     Thanks in advance for any help received,
                   Jen.

wow, found the solution to my own problem if anyone else is having the problem I described above, try restarting the Apple device service, I believe it has an abbreviation like AMDS or probably just AMS, but when you look under itunes not detecting my iphone 4, I found the link there.
   Hope this is helpful to others

    HI! As I've written on the title, since I've downloaded the iTunes latest version, I'm not able to sync my iPhone5 anymore... it just doesn't sync. I've already checked the usb cable, and uninstalled the software and downloaded again... and it's just the same. I have a Window 8 and I'm not receiving a running error problem... so... Can anybody over there, help me, please? I will really appreciate it. Thank you.

This morning i tried unistalling that (didn't think it would make any difference as the programme wasn't active) once uninstalled i pluged the ipod in and hey presto it is now recognised by itunes, THANK GOODNESS. So panick over for now, thank you very much.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes and after syncing the new ipod, I was unable to get the majority of my songs. They all appear with an exclamation point. Even the ones purchased on itunes. Why?

    I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes. After syncing the ipod, all my songs appear grayed out. They have an exclamation point next to them. Even the ones I purchased from itunes. How do I get my songs back?

    Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
       If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
       If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
       Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
    I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
       I hope this helps!

  • Why can't I download the latest version of iTunes onto my computer?

    My computer (Macbook Pro) won't let me download music to my iPhone 5 so I went to try and download the latest version of iTunes but it will not let me install it on my computer. Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

    The most recent iTunes version (iTunes 12.0.1) requires OS X Lion or higher, so you have to upgrade OS X to a higher operating system like OS X Yosemite.
    You can download OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store, and it will check if your Mac is compatible. Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible -> http://www.roaringapps.com

  • While importing and burning some CDs, my entire library has disappeared.  Also, there no longer is a "burn file to disc" command in the File menu.  I have downloaded the latest version of itunes which restored only tracks I bought from the iTunes store.

    Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options.  I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store.  I also tried setting up another logon.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Itunes won't let me download the latest version of itunes to my pc

    I have been trying to download the latest version of iTunes from the Apple website to my PC.  When I click on the Download icon, it goes to the page saying thank you for downloading iTunes, but it hasn't download anything.  I've tried downloading in Internet Explorer and in Google Chrome and get the same thing.  I've rebooted my PC and tried again using either browser and get the same result.  My PC O/S is Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I have no idea why this happening or how to fix.  Any advice or suggestions?  Thanks.

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • I cannot download the latest version of itunes onto my iPhone 4S

    Why can I not download the latest version of iTunes onto my iPhone 4S?

    The latest version of iTunes is installed when you update the iOS version. If you are getting a message to update iTunes, it is saying to update iTunes on your computer, not the iPad.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

    Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
