HT4972 iTunes not recognizing (mounting) my iPhone. What to do?

.....and I cannot hard quit my phone.

See the post <a href="https://discussions.apple.com/message/20301184#20301184">here</a>
The easiest is to navigate to the device manager to make sure the iphone driver is installed right. If it's like my hubs puter; the driver gets screwed up when he updates the phone via itunes.
1.)Device Manager
2.)Portable Devices
3.)Right click on apple device driver
4.)Update driver where you find it here
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
Windows will not install the driver any other way.

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPad or iPhone via wireless

    I've been noticing that since the last iTunes update iTunes won't recognize my iPad or iPhone via my wireless connection when I launch iTunes. I have to manually plug each one in to sync, and this has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks.
    At first it was only sometimes, then it was just the iPhone, then it was just the iPad, then it would alternate between the two, and now it won't recognize either.
    Do I have something off in my settings, or is this a bug in the new iTunes system?
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    Hey jzzlvr57,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the device isn't showing up in iTunes. I would recommend that you read one of these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

    I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

    Had this problem this morning.
    Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
    This morning had the problem,too.
    Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
    Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

    I had this exact same problem and just figured out how to fix it. I had to reload the driver on the iphone5 in order for itunes to recognize the device. Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

  • What will i do with my ipad stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

    what will i do with my ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

    if that dose not work then you can always put it into DFU mode by connecting to your computer and holding down the home button and sleep/wake button for excatly 10 seconds and then relesing the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the homebutton till iTunes tells you it has detected an iPad in recovery mode then just do a restore

  • Why is my itunes not recognizing my iphone 4S?

    When I plug in my iphone 4S to my Mac computer, iphoto is the only application that opens.  Why does itunes not open when I plug in my iphone?  Why does itunes not even recognize my iphone?

    The problem is that your MacOS and iTunes versions do not support the iPhone 4. The minimum requirements are written on the box.
    Please check out this thread....https://discussions.apple.com/message/16126807#16126807
    So first, just get the upgrade to at least 10.5.8.
    I'd suggest that you go to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in the Apple Store but be sure to check that you have the minimum hardware requirements on your Mac.
    Then get the latest version of iTunes.

  • My Apple tv is not recognizing my Apple ID, what can i do?

    My Apple tv is not recognizing my Apple ID, what can i do??

    yeh me too. Everything seems to be working with my Thomson TG782T modem, it recognises the appletv on the wireless network, I can communicate with my itunes on my computer from the appletv menu system, my itunes library comes up on the appletv menu, but when trying to rent a movie it says that my password is not being recognised. Yet I can buy books from the itunes store using the same password from my ipad. I am at complete loss...my telecommunications company (Telstra) has no idea.
    Do you think these little checks and changes to my password will help?
