Activated my new 5s but I can't get it to connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but iTunes will not

I've tried just about every thread on here and nothing works. I use windows 8.

See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If this does not work, you will need to remove iTunes completely by the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and then reinstall it. Try the first one I supplied first.

  • HT4623 Downloaded new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud, no matter how many times I reset my password. Please help.

    I downloaded the new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud. I even tried resetting my password, but it does not recognize me. Please help. Thanks.

    I'm having the same issue.  I went through the apple website to reset my password, and it was no problem, even let me update my email address and apple id, but my iphone is still not accepting what I know the password is, so I can't delete it, or change the apple id information.

  • HT201269 I am trying to restore an old back up to a new phone but it will not allow because it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the password I am using is the only password I have?? Help?  What does this mean?

    I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!!  Thank you.

    When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

  • I am trying to delete my icloud account to create a new one but it will not let me delete my old account

    I am trying to delete my old icloud account but it will not let me delete the account?

    If you are trying to delete an old iCloud account in order to sign in with an updated ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use yourcurrent password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.comand change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have a new ipod, but it will not sync with my playlists?

    I have changed my Ipod nan for a classic but it cannot access my playlists?

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Got new Ipod, but Mac will not see it

    I just got a used Ipod from my friend (it works). I was trying to update on my PC,but then decided to go use it on my Mac.
    I downloaded the Ipod updater and it says each time to plug in the Ipod..It is..The Ipod just shows an icon of it being plugged into a wall electric socket. What can I do to get my Ipod to show up , do I can update it or make it reformatted or new..
    Thanks

    He means 2G like Second Generation (Scroll-wheel) iPod, not the 2 GigaByte Nano. Yah, confusing.
    I'd have to agree with Colin, however - if iTunes works, it maybe an iPod thing. If nothing else, try trashing iTunes and iPod preferences file. (~/Library/Prefernces/com.apple.iTunes.plst & com.apple.iPod.plst). That's the library in your user folder. Note that there's an iPod Pref file in the "Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/" folder too. Find those files, and move them to the trash. Open iTunes, connect iPod, and make sure everything works - iTunes will regenerate the preferences files, although you'll have to re-adjust the preferences yourself in iTunes.

  • Can't get past the connect to iTunes screen, no computer available

    I downloaded the new apple software onto my iPad 2 then went on holiday. No problems until I turned it off so we wouldn't be disturbed by any nocturnal bleeps. On turning it back on the screen shows a USB and says connect to iTunes. Unfortunately my computer is in a distant country. I tried for Apple help but on iPad not starting up it tells you to look in settings for your iPad no. Not so useful when it won't start! Can anybody help or am I stuck with a useless iPad for a few weeks? Thanks....

    No ideas anybody? I'll try and get to an apple shop tomorrow. Don't know if I can co next to another mac or whether this will wipe the iPad

  • HT3576 How can I get rid of "Connect to itunes to use push notifications" pop-ups.  I just had to replace my iPhone 5 and when I did a restore from backup, most of my apps will not let me in becuase I cannot get past the"connect to itunes..." message.

    My iPhone 5 was distroyed so I replaced it with a new iPhone 5 yesterday.  I did a restore from a backup that i had performed a week ago.  When I tried to use the phone several of my apps would not let me in becuase they continually gave me a popup message "Connect to Itunes to use push notifications".  I click ok and the popup comes back.  I have shut my phone off several times.  I have complete closed the apps several times.  I have even deleted the apps from my phone and reinstalled.  All to no avail.  Please help - does anyone know how to fix this?

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.
