After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
Please help with this problem
Thanks
TOM

You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

After upgrading to 7.1 iTunes does not recognize iPad device

I upgraded iPad to system 7.1. I got a message to connect to my iMac and iTunes by my USB cable, which I did.
iTunes no longer recognizes the iPad wirelessly and does not recognize it even when attached byUSB cable.
My iPhone (4.2.1) is recognized by cable.
Any suggestions?
Bryan Davis

Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
Anything else I am missing?

After installing Leopard and combo iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch

Hi, probably this question has been asked somewhere, but I can't find it. Given that after upgrading to Leopard and the combo, my iPod is seen in iTunes, but my iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes. The answer seems to be to reinstall iTunes, if I do that, will the reinstall keep my fine iTunes music library? thanks, e_moma

Most people in this situation seem to have to re-install iTunes. iTunes the application resides in the Applications folder. Your music resides in ~/Music/iTunes/ and will not be affected by re-installing the application.
Of course you have a good back-up on an external drive anyway - right(?)

ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables.
If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection. The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Chris.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect. The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot. This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
BTW, I do have other choices. I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
Cheers,
Chris.

Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
What should I do?
Thanks.

I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

Itunes does not recognize iphone during os update

During the update of the os the phone swiches to recovery iboot mode. The pc then loses contact and doesn't recognize it anymore. When i attach the phone to another pc it recognizes the recover mode of the phone and it can be switch back to factory settings.
Everytime i start itunes it gives an message:
The software needed for communication with Ipods and mobile phones is not corectly installed. Do you want iTunes to repair the problem.
But the fix is apperently not working because the next time i start the message remains.
The problem of not recognizing the ipone does not exsist during normal iphone sync, only after installing a new OS.
I already tried:
- removing itunes, all drivers, all apple software and reinstalling everything
- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
- i only found this error message in the log iPod Service:
cannot find event-id 0 from source iPod Service. [...] service started
Anybody any suggestions? Please let me know?

Alex

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!

This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

Itunes does not recognize IPAD 3 after upgrading to IOS 6.

After updating my IPAD 3 to IOS 6, Itunes does not recognize my IPAD 3. What can I do to fix this issue?

I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

ITunes does not recognize iPod (3rd gen?) even after trying everything...

I have searched and not found this exact problem on any of the forum pages. My computer (PC) recognizes my iPod as an external USB drive. It is completely charged up (from the AC power). No error messages. Screen shows the "updating - do not disconnect symbol" constantly while docked but the pod does not show up in iTunes at all. I can get the main screen (menu) page by disconnecting the USB device through Windows, but when I try to select any of my data on the pod it shows nothing downloaded on the device. I've tried everything in the support section (most recent version of iTunes, checked that iPod service is running, reinstalled the COM interface for iPod service, deleted and reinstalled iTunes, etc. As a final resort, I "restored" the pod to factory settings using iPod Updater, but no joy...To say I'm unhappy is putting it mildly. Any suggestions before I jump out a window or something????

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
- Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update. says it is in recovery mode, Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update.

After an ipad software update, it does not recognize my Ipad in Itunes. Gives error 14. what to do?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
