HT1386 My iPhone isn't appearing on my iTunes when plugged in correctly

When my iPhone 5s is plugged into my laptop, iTunes isn't recognising the device however, the phone is new so everything is working in excellent condition and my iTunes software is up to date. Due to not being able to sync my iPhone,iCloud has suddenly gone wrong; half of my music has not downloaded to iCloud (when it was originally) . I don't know how this problem has occurred.

I purchased some music from the store on my iphone, but itunes won't load those tracks into my library! It comes up with error 36 (the disk could not be read or written to) but I am able to get apps that I have purchased. What's up with that??

I have 4 tracks that I purchased from the itunes store, 2 audio and 2 music videos. I used my iphone to make the purchase. Unfortunately, when I got home and tried to transfer them to my itunes library, it tells me that the disk can't be read frrom or written to. This it totally bogus as I am able to download apps that I purchased at the same time as the music.
How do I fix this problem without having to totally rebuild the library yet again?

I'm guessing this is a problem unique to me as there have been no replies at all... Thanks a bunch folks

HT201413 My iPhone turns off during the restore & comes up with error 1611 - help?

My iPhone kept telling me I needed to update to the new iOS 5 software for some of my apps to update. So I plugged it in and started the update. But then my phone kept turning itself on and off. I put it into recovery mode & then tried to restore it. But it goes through as if to start the restore ie. extracting software, preparing to restore etc - the little loading bar comes up under the apple logo on my phone but then my phone just turns off.
I really need my phone back & I can't afford to buy another one which was what an apple store suggested - they didn't even do anything different to what I'd tried! I've only got a few months of my contract left until I can upgrade and I can't upgrade early. Is there anything anyone can suggest to get my phone working?? PLEASE?!
Thanks x

This Error code is most often given when Apple cannot communicate with the iPhone. Make sure your iTunes is current and is up to date. Click the iTunes Tab at the top of this Web Page and get current iTunes. If still problem, make sure the computer Hosts file is not blocking Apple Servers. Try a different computer.

My Ipod Touch (v 4.2.1) wont connect to the itunes store when i try to download or update something, and when i try to connect on say my facebook app it comes up with error -1202. help?

I can connect on my computer to the itunes store and it has nothing to do with my wifi! help?

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

Jahnavi,
two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
> Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
> Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.
