After a recent itunes version update, itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad?

after a recent itunes software update, itunes does not recognize my iphone 5 or ipad

Hey there Laughlkw,
It sounds lik eyou iPhone and iPad are not showing in the iTunes sidebar after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes with the following article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Symptoms
In rare circumstances, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may not be recognized in iTunes on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard after the Mac is restarted. If you reinstall iTunes, your device may be recognized. However, restarting your Mac may result in the device not being recognized again.
Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
Resolution
Follow the below steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Note: Some of these steps will require that you enter your Mac OS X user password. If you do not know your user's password, follow this article first.
Install all software updates. If you have an update available for an SDK (Software Development Kit), be sure these updates are also installed. Do this by clicking the Apple () menu, choosing Software Update, and following the on-screen instructions. If you need to download iTunes manually, you can download it here.
Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Click Go.
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
Restart your Mac, open iTunes, and connect your device. If your device shows up in iTunes, restart your Mac one more time and confirm the issue is still resolved.

ITunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. Please help

iTunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. When I connect iPhone to laptop, iTunes sends me an alert:" This iPhone can't be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". This started right after I have upgraded iTunes from 10.5 to 10.5.1. Please help !

Thanks for the hint ! I used the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
Had to remove all Apple related softwares and utilities, and re-install all back. iTunes recognizes my phone now ! Cheers !

Hello ckkeith65
If you are having issues with AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe then you would need to uninstall iTunes and its associated software in the order listed in the article below and then reinstall iTunes, as it is part of the installer file.

I just installed update version 11.1.4.62. Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad. My wife just installed the same version with the same result. The problem is clearly a problem with itunes. What's wrong with itunes?

I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly. I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad. I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc. I tried diagnostics to no avail. The diagnostic didn't recognize either device. As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple mobile device service, That didn't work either. My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem. She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
Until now, itunes has been totally reliable. I am convinced the problem is with itunes. Where do I go from here?

I resolved the issue by doing the following:
1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
2. Uninstall bonjour.
3. Reboot.
4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
It worked. When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

ITunes 9.0.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone.

I loaded iTunes 9.0.1 on a Clone while my iPhone was connected to Clone . . . usually, I sync my iPhone to my MacBookPro. Now, my iPhone displays a picture of the connection cable, an arrow pointing to the CD disk labeled iTunes. When I connect the iPhone to the Clone, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone! Any suggestions?

Updated to newest iTunes version, now it won't recognize my iPhone.

Hey everyone. Was just looking for some tips or added feedback for an issue I'm having.
I went to do the iOS7 update for my iPhone 4. My iTunes told me that I had to have the "Newest Version of iTunes (11.1.whatever) to update to iOS 7, Do you want to Download now?"
So i clicked "Download" and away we went. After it finished, I restarted my computer like I always do after I install to software. I have Windows 8 by the way. When I started up iTunes and plugged in my device, nothing happened. No button in the top right appeared. So I ran the iTunes diagnostic, and it said no device was found. It shows up in "My Computer" as Landon's iPhone 4. So I know it's connected. I found the troubleshooting page for this on Apple's website, and did EVERYTHING. Still won't recognize my phone.
Has anyone else run into this problem? How was it resolved? Any tips or tricks would be helpful!! Thanks in advance!!
Landon

Windows or mac?

ITunes version 6.0 doesn't recognize old library

I had an old version of iTunes on my PC, was using an iPod mini for past year. I just upgraded to version 6.0 but now itunes will not sync with new iPod 60GB video. It will not play any of the music in the library?

Ouch. You don't use preferences to point to a library on an external drive. I hope you didn't do anything with preferences. You use that to redirect iTunes to where you want to put just media which is only part of your library. The other part of your library is, uh, wherever you keep it.
If you really keep the whole library on an external, start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key, then point it to the iTunes folder on the external.

I downloaded the latest iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my iPhone

I downloaded the latest iTunes update and now it doesn't recognize my iPhone

Thank you so much for your reply! I ended up calling Apple Support. (My phone was still eligible for free support.) The person was very helpful and was able to help me resolve the problem. In my case, it involved deleting itunes and some other things from my PC computer and reinstalling them. Works perfectly now.

Downloaded new iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad

I just installed the latest version of iTunes yesterday. Now it will not recognize neither my iPhone nor my iPad. Is there a fix coming for this?? I can see from the comments that numerous other folks are having the exact same issue.

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

After upgrading to 10.6.3 iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone or iPad

I was running 10.4.11 and things were working. Just got an iPad, which wouldn't work on 10.4.11 so I upgraded to 10.6.3. Now when I plug in the iPhone to the iMac the only thing that launches is iPhoto. If I open iTunes it does not show the iphone. And plugging in the iPad gets no results either.
What do I need to do? All help appreciated.

Embarrassing...I hadn't upgraded the iTunes software.

ITunes 11.3.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone but my computer does?

I just recently downloaded iTunes 11.3.1 to my laptop and I wanted to sync my music library onto my iPhone 4, but when I plug it in, only my computer recognizes it, not iTunes. I've tried about everything on the site and nothing's worked so far. I've tried plugging in a different device as well, and the same thing happened. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi there piewhisperer,

After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone everytime I turn on my computer I get a message that reads: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Does anybody know what this means?

After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Yes. I just solved the problem on my PC. Here goes...
Issue: My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
Solution:
1. You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite". This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
3. Uninstall Mobile Me.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Reinstall Mobile Me.
6. Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application. I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
This is where the file was located:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
I hope this helps,
Ron
