  • Itunes will not recognize either my iphone or ipad any more since I've downloaded their latest update. I'm working with a Windows 8.1 computer. Can someone help please?

    Itunes will not recognize either my iphone 5 or my ipad since I have downloaded the new Itunes upgrade on my Windows 8.1 system. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works. Can someone help with this?

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • ITunes will not recognize my new iPhone 4

    I just got an iPhone 4 from Best Buy today. Everything has worked fine throughout the day until I tried adding my music on to my phone. I have an iPod Nano that has worked fine with my computer in the past, always synced smoothly when needed. When I try syncing and adding music from my iTunes to my iPhone, iTunes does not recognize my iPhone at all. It does not show up under 'Devices' in iTunes. My 'Computer' (Windows 7) recognizes the iPhone as a device, but nothing in iTunes. I've updated my iPhone software, uninstalled all Apple programs, and reinstalled all of them back on to my computer, with no luck.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    iTunes probably detected the unauthorized activity on the accounts and disabled them for that reason. These forums are just for other Apple users, so no one here will have the power to re-enable your account. You should contact iTunes Support: http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • ITunes will not recognize my device (iPhone or iPad)

    When conecting my iPhone or iPod, iTunes shows no device connected.  I've tried following all the help in iTunes Help and nothing has worked.  It was working fine one day and the next............. nothing.  I down loaded two new Apps into iTunes the day before but not loaded to the phone. That's when I discovered the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    What OSX version on the computer ?
    What IOS versions on the devices?

  • My Itunes will NOT update!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

    after i click download now it goes to the next page and says thanks for downloading!!! when really it did nothing! am i doing somthing wrong!?!? HELP PLEASE!

    Sounds like you've got connection problems, Al. Also, the exclamation mark means you need to restore your iPod.
    Run the iPod Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your mini when it tells you to connect and iPod. This time, however, connect it to one of the ports on the rear of your computer (if you have a desktop).
    If it's still not recognized by the updater, reset it: hold down the Menu and Center buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    If it's recognized by the updater, choose the Restore option and follow the instructions from there.

  • Itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory settings

    itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

    iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone.  However, it will recognize several older iPods.  I am working in Windows 8.  Help.  I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. 
    I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly.  When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device.  This was working properly a week ago.  What happened? 

    Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
