HT4623 iPhone not recognized by computer or iTunes

I attempted to update my iPhone 5 to the newest version using iTunes on my computer, and my iPhone is now in recovery mode, and is not recognized by either my computer or iTunes.  From the research that I have done, it appears to be a driver issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, attempting to manually search for the driver (which I located on my computer, but the computer would not recognize), and searching for the driver online ("access denied" response message appears), I am at a loss as to what to do.  Can anyone help?

I retried the steps listed in HT1808; iTunes didn't open, and my computer replayed the "failed" connection tone.  Is there a way to get around the "access denied" message that comes when I try to update the connection driver for the phone?  When I attempt to find the driver online, I recieve that message, and when I attempt to search out the driver manually, I receive a message saying that the driver can't be found (while I have already located it through the regular file explorer.

    i think your best bet is to uninstall itunes 9 & go back to whatever itunes you opened your phone with in the first place,& stick with that & also do a reset on your phone, ive heard so many problems with itunes9 that i'stick to itunes8,even though i keep getting messages to upgrade to 9. good luck.

  • IPhone not recognized by computer or itunes.

    Hey everyone!
    I troubleshooted my way trying to fix this problem but it's still not going away! I was sleeping and I woke up to find that my phone was syncing to itunes anymore. It didn't fall from a table or something, it just ceased to sync. When I plug it I can charge it, but it isn't showing on my computer. I tried using another computer (a pc this time) and still to no result. On the pc I finished all the steps till I reached 3rd party issues, I knew this doesn't apply to me because its not working on any computer i use. I think it's a hardware issue, Am i right in this assumption?

  • My iphone 4s is stuck on connect to itunes, is not recognized by computer or itunes

    my iphone is stuck on the "connect to itunes" loading screen, and when it's plugged into my computer, itunes and the computer are not able to recognize it. when it is plugged in, it gets a "USB device not recognized" and in device manager, it shows up as an "unknown device". I have read and tried everything in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, as well as uninstalling and re-installing itunes and all it's components several times, but nothing has helped. Please help!!!

    The iPhone has gone into recovery mode and you have to restore by connecting to a computer with iTunes and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.  If you do not have a computer with iTunes, a friend with a computer with iTunes, can you get to an Apple store genius bar and see if the techs will restore for you?

  • HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1.  My wife's iphone 5 had no issues.  I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports.  Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone.  Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device".  Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side.  My wife's works both ways.  I can't explain it, but there it is.  I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

  • I installed a ipod shuffle, named it differently, now my ipod classic is not recognized by computer or itunes.  How do i fix?

    I installed an ipod shuffle with different name.  Now my ipod classic is no longer recognized by computer or itunes.  It appears that Itunes decided that I had replaced the classic with a shuffle.  Classic battery doesnt seem to want to charge, and cannot restore.

    Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPod shuffle not showing up in iTunes. Also make sure that you have the cable plugged in completely to your iPod Shuffle and not just slightly pushed in.

  • IPhone not recognized by computer, but is charging just fine?

    Hello,
    I have synced my phone before with my iTunes just fine, but lately I've had issues. I plug my phone into my computer and it charges it just fine, but no trust notification or anything has shown up. No indication of it being noticed at all happens. Now before you answer, let me explain some things;
    1. I've tried three different cords, old one, and two new ones.
    2. It is no where to be found in device manager or anything of the sort.
    3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of iTunes at least three times, to no avail.
    4. Restarted and updated everything multiple times as well.
    5. Tried two other computers, nothing.
    I have iOS 8.1.2, and the newest iTunes (12.something.)
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, this is the support document for an iPhone not being recognized with iTunes in Windows. iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    When you removed and reinstalled iTunes, did you do it by following the instructions in this support document? Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    If you did not follow the instructions above, it can cause additional issues for you. With the phone connected, you say you do not see it in device manager, do you see it in Computer? Do you see any USB error in device manager?

  • Iphone not recognized after upgrading to itunes 8.2

    Phone not recognized in itunes after the 8.2 update, is this a bug?

    Ok, I've found a workaround on another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9658855).
    According to that poster (he has an iPod Touch), Apple Tech Support told him to disconnect his computer from the Internet, and then try to connect his iPod Touch. This worked for him. I just tried it and it works reliably.
    After reading the post I plugged out my Internet connection from my laptop, and then connect my iPhone. It was detected. I repeated this 4 more times and each time the device was detected and came up in my iTunes sidebar. I then restarted my machine and tried it again 5 times. It worked all 5 times. When I reconnected my machine to the Internet, the problem came back the very next time I plugged my phone in.

  • IPod nano does not charge & is not recognized by computer or iTunes

    I have a 1st generation nano 1 GIG.
    It appears "dead."
    It is not recognized by My Computer, iTunes or the Ipod Updater (The updater asks that I connect the iPod, which I do). The iPod diagnostics through iTunes also reports that my iPod is not connected.
    I have tried my iPod on 4 different machines, with one of them having USB 2.0.
    I tried the following from Jeff Bryan. (I don't know if the links from his post have carried over into this post.) So I will list the things I have tried near the end of this post.
    - My iPod won't turn on.
    - iPod battery doesn't charge.
    - iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
    - Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
    - iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
    - iPod does not appear in iTunes.
    - Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
    I tried resetting my iPod by switching the Hold button on and off and then pressing Menu and the Select button for 6-10 seconds. I have done this over and over and over.
    I have uninstalled the latest iTunes, reboot, reinstall - same problem.
    I have stopped the iPod service, plugged in the iPod, but it isn't recognized by My Computer as stated in the Apple Do-It-Yourself Help. I launched iTunes - same problem.
    I used the window cleanup utility, reboot, reinstall iTunes, connect iPod - same problem.
    I have used the Windows ipconfig utility to change my boot parameters, but still nothing.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them.
    My iPod is just shy of 6 months.
    I do have a replacement contract with Best Buy - but I would like to cover all the bases before I succumb to defeat.
    Thanks
