11.0.5 won't recognize iphone 5, tried all trouble shoots offered.  Anything else?

I have read alot of the posts about iPhone 5 not being recognized now that people upgraded to 11.0.5 itunes software.
I went through all the trouble shooting for Mac OS 10.8.4 and itunes 11.0.5 and restarting either device, checking and changing USB 2.0 ports
and everything else has yeilded no ability for my iMac to recognize my iphone 5 at all.
Any other ideas?

As you can see by the lack of response to your question, even though there are lots of willing and competent readers of your question, when you say "I've tried everything ...", then what else could someone possibly suggest?
Instead, try enumerating either all the steps you have tried, or all the articles you have read (and are certain you tried every single remedy listed) in these articles.
There is an article out there that will contain a solution to your issue.

    I have not been able to sync my iPhone 5s on my PC sincethe most recent update to iTunes. My computer showsthe iPhone as connected, but iTunes does not recognize it. I tried the trouble shooter and got device not recognized. I clicked the help button beside the failed test and get iPod instructions. How do I get iPod instructions for work for an iPhone? Better, how can I get this to show iPhone instructions? (On my other computer, I had to uninstall every Apple product to get the new iTunes to work.)

  • ITunes 8 won't recognize iPhone

    I'm experiencing this issue on 2 separate computers.
    When I was prompted to install iTunes 8, I downloaded and installed. During the installation, an error box popped up saying that the iPod service wouldn't be installed. Of course, once installed, the iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes, although it's picked up fine by Windows as a "camera". Wanting to transfer my latest podcasts to my iPhone, I installed iTunes 8 it to my work computer (Win XP instead of Vista I run at home) and had the same issue.
    It says that the iPod service is running, but iTunes won't recognize it. And of course, iTunes won't let me roll back to an older version. I've been searching for a resolution to this issue. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling, and no luck. I've found other mentions of this issue, but there never seems to be a resolution for it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem with an iPod touch 32gb. If you go into "Diagnostics" under "help" on the itunes menu bar, and run the "ipod connection test" or something like that, it'll show "failed" and have a "help" button next to it. This takes you to a web page that lists various steps in solving the problem, beginning with reinstalling iTunes 8. It then recommends several other steps including deleting all iTunes files and shutting down all windows services through "msconfig". The final step recommends wiping your drive and reinstalling Windows then reinstalling iTunes 8. I've tried all but the final step to no avail, but I'm guessing since you tried it with a fresh windows install that it may not even work. I'm hoping there is a resolution for this soon. I still have iTunes 7.7 on my laptop, so I'm considering migrating all my stuff to that until there's a fix. I know it's an iTunes 8 issue, because I synced my iPod +right before+ installing it, just fine. iTunes 8 has never recognized my iPod. Apple has left me with the choice of of re-installing Windows (and subsequently, everything else on my computer) or wiping all traces of iTunes 8 (including music libraries) and rebuilding my entire music collection from scratch, including playlists. Awesome. Just fix the stupid program?

  • Updated 2.2.1 - Now iTunes won't recognize iPhone (and iPhone won't work)

    I had this happen last time I did an update too, but that was fixed by going into my control panel and starting my apple mobile device - I checked and this time all is running. I can't use my iPhone and iTunes won't show it's connected even though it is (so can't restore, etc. since it won't recognize the device). I've tried closing out of iTunes and re-connecting the phone - nothing. I'm on PC using 2003 Microsoft software.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Sorry, gave the wrong PC info. I'm on XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 3.
    Please help!

  • Itunes won't recognize Iphone but device still charges

    Today, I had my Iphone 5c replaced after having issues with the software on my previous iphone 5c. I'm trying to put the data that was on my previous phone back onto my new replacement but Itunes won't recognize my device. I have tried getting the data back on my phone using Icloud but the backup data that is for my Iphone can't be selected as the backup data requires software that is ios 7.1 or later (or something like that). I have selected the option of "set up as new iphone" and just downloaded the software update but I don't know how to get back to the screen that shows the icloud backups.
    I have also tried all the recommended things for when the device cannot be detected with itunes (ex. reinstalling itunes, restarting apple mobile device support< ect.)
    If you can help with how I can get my itunes to recognize my iphone or how i can set up with icloud after selecting "set up as new iphone" that would be great

    Set the phone up as a new phone. Then update the iOS to 7.1. After the update is complete restore your phone from your backup.

  • Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

    Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
    Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
    Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
    attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
    back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

    Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
    Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
    When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
    And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
    I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

  • ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

    I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

    What version of iTunes are you running?

  • Computer won't recognize iPhone camera

    I used to have an original iPhone and I used to be able to import my camera roll. It randomly stopped working after a couple of months. I now have a 3GS and it still won't work. I have a Dell Inspiron running Vista. iTunes will still recognize my phone, but my computer won't recognize my phone or the camera. Any ideas about what happened or how I can import pictures again?

    In my case, the computer stopped showing images that were on the iphone and only showed blank squares.
    You might try this. Open the Image Capture application on your Mac. Open the menu item, Devices > Browse Devices.... If there is a Local Device called Digital Camera rather than the name of your iPhone, see if there is a Connected box that is not checked. Check it and you may find that the device will change to the name of your iPhone and things may begin to work.
    If it is checked, you might try unchecking and then rechecking the box.
    If your iPhone doesn't show up in the Local Device list, this might point toward the problem. Call iPhone support.

  • Mac won't recognize iphone

    I hate APPLE right now.  Why have they "suggested" to upgrade to Snow Leopard to make my life better, but all it has done is turn our mac into a rock with a screen and itunes will not recognize iPhone 4S anymore.  Wouldn't be a problem, but I have drank the Kool-Aid and we own 4 iphones, 1 ipod touch, 2 ipads, and several ipod nanos of various ages.  Mr. Cook, it has to be simpler than erasing a hard drive before installing a new operating system.  Shouldn't we be able to install over the one you tell me isn't as good as the new one?  If it were that good, I would think it would be able to avoid crashing with the old OS still installed.  I bought two of my kids iPhones for Christmas which will cost me the $100 to buy them. and the $145 per month for a pretty basic family plan with AT&T so for $3600, shouldn't they be able to sync them to the "cool new" iTunes on Snow Leopard?  Snow Leopards are on MY endangered list right now!
    Can anyone tell me how to get iTunes to sync with my devices again?
    I've already tried all the Apple steps on their website and even deleted iTunes through the Terminal to reinstall.  No joy!

    The Mac OS X (10.6.3) I the tag line  didn't get you there?  The iTunes installed would be whatever version they have online as of 12/25/12. Yes that would be Christmas night. Would love to give you the version number but my new "rock with a screen" takes overnight to reboot and today is my lucky day, we get to reboot two times (using my unsynced iPhone 4S to respond).  I'm guessing you didn't get anything on your Christmas list. Keep your chin up JB there's always next gen iPhone5S.
