You can connect in recovery mode, start iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button connect the dock connector end of the cable.

    Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date.  If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device.  If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    how can i get itunes to recognize my iphone (the first one) so i can download its info so i can then download that into my new iphone 4s.???

    Including going through all of Step 5? That can take some time, and should fix the problem. You have also removed and reinstalled iTunes following the steps in this support document? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923  As a last resort, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376

  • How do i get iTunes to recognize my iPhone 5?

    I am unable to connect my iPhone 5 to iTunes yet my iPhone 3G connects with no issues at all.  I've updated iTunes to 10.7, uninstalled and reinstalled it and no luck.  I've tried all USB ports and nothing.  I've searched the Device Manager (MS Vista) and nothing related to the iPhone 5 is detected at all.  The phone does not charge either when plugged it. Could it be the USB cord?  Again, my iPhone 3G is recognized and connects as it should.  Please help.

    Vista is a nightmare. Check your system manufacturer's website for driver and firmware updates.
    It could be a hardware compatibility problem between your system and the new connector. It's possible that it's a bad cable, but I kind of doubt that. You can check that by seeing if you can get it to be recognized on another system.
    If another computer won't recognize it either, make an appointment at the genius bar. They'll plug it into a known working system and see if it works. Take your cable with you.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

    How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

    First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
    Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
    You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
    You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

    My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
    Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
    Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
    I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. 
    Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
    There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
    Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files.  If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud.  Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
    If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

  • How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

    How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my  music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

    *What am I doing wrong?*
    You moved it to the server.
    You should let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the new location.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • HT3406 when using my old iphone as a itouch how do i get itunes to recognize as a different device and not the new phone?

    When using my old iphone4 as an itouch - how do i get itunes to recognize as a new and seperate device

    You don't need to do anything. iTunes will automatically recognise different devices as different devices. Just plug it in.
    You can rename the device by clicking the name in the side panel in iTunes for your own identification purposes, but this name does not matter to iTunes.
