IOS 5.0.1 on iphone 4 device not compatable

Keep getting device not compatable message on my iphone 4 running ios 5.0.1 anytime i try to dock it on my Ihome alarm clock or when connecting to my hyundai sante fe radio using the hyundai car connector kit. On the dock the phone will charge but not play music through the dock speakers. In the car the Iphone will charge and play music but the iphone isnt recognized as an iphone anymore and I loose all control of song selection. Before ios 5.0.1 when i hooked it up to the car it was recognized as an ipod now its only recognized as aux. The dock worked flawlessly before the upgrade. Can anyone help? I have tried to reset all settings but that has not worked.

This happens from an album.
I am selecting a song to start playing. I see the Shuffle button (which is grey) at the top. Of course, if I select that then the album starts playing a random (shuffled) song.

Hello kwesiaddai,
I understand that your iPhone 5 is not recognized by iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!!

after updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!! the apple logo shows up for a few seconds. then the screen goes red !! after it restarts and it do the same!! please help.

Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

Iphone device not detected

I lost my iPhone 4s and just got a replacement. When I connected it to my laptop (Windows 7), iTunes recognized it and asked me to register it. It asked if I wanted to set this up as a new phone or if I wanted to restore the phone from a backup. I clicked on "Restore" and it wiped out the photos and text messages I had recently stored on the new phone - I was not expecting it to do that.
Is there any way to recover the messages and photos?
Also, now when I connect to my laptop, iTunes will not recognize the iphone. Nothing shows up under devices, although Windows recognizes it as a portable device and gives me the autoplay options. What do I need to do to get iTunes to recognize the iphone?

Ok; this should be the steps I did last night. Going to repaste in what I posted before & finsih it so you have it in one post
Before doing anything- BACK UP what you have now to a thumb drive. If you have a password on your windows user account; remove it & reboot before starting- These are the files you need to back up
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\
Plug your iPhone in & back up your photos to a thumb drive or "My Documents"
Depending on what you've already done; you can do this a few different ways; either start here iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or you can back up & start fresh to make sure that nothing was left out.
Let me say again- back up the Apple folders as well as plugging in your Iphone & backing up your photos & whatever else you can access before starting this. Once you delete; it's gone.
Best advice I can give you is to uninstall ALL apple products- updater; bonjour; quick times; safari- then be sure to check.to make sure there are no files left- I think this is what our problem was yesterday. Because the very last time I downloaded another fresh copy of Itunes; I made sure everything was gone. We had 3 people trying to get this going since late Monday afternoon & I don't know if they checked to make sure there were no remnants. This was my 1st time at this step
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Use this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 to make sure there are no files left
In most cases removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. In some rare cases those files may be left behind. After following the previous steps, you should confirm that the following files and folders have been removed and if any are left behind, remove them now:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\ Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder.
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
restarting device- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
1- Remove any Windows user passwords & reboot
2- back up locations listed to thumbdrive
3- remove all traces of Apple products
4. reboot
5. check folders listed above to make sure everything is removed. If not; delete & reboot
6. Install iTunes
7. Reboot
8. attach phone; give it a few minutes to install drivers
9. Open Itunes & walk away 5 minutes. I suggest walking away because when I opened itunes; the device was not shown; I got up to answer a text & when I came back; it was showing. ~SMH!
10. You may need to install drivers- I was finding the iphone listed under imaging devices in the device manager. There is no driver CD; so don't go nuts looking for one. It would be too easy to just add a driver at Apple that nontech people can download & install..
11. ADD the correct driver- You will have to go back to the device manager to find the Iphone; then right click it & reinstall driver using the link below. For some reason; it would not work with the default driver the 1st few times. Once again; I stepped away for a few & guess what? Iphone shows up in itunes. I wonder how many people are not waiting long enough for them to pair?

Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software.
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see" usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers instead).
Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.
Note: During installation, if a message appears stating that the software you are installing "has not passed Windows Logo testing," click Continue Anyway to continue installing the drivers.
Good luck everyone & be careful with your iphone backup in itunes because there is an issue where Windows is putting a password on it & people are losing their backup. Get into the habit of backing your phone up so that you have multiple backups

Iphone device not showing up on desktop or in itunes

I connected to my Macbook Pro with the USB connector that came with my new iphone a few weeks ago. This morning when I tried to connect and download music, my device icon does not appear on my desktop or in the itunes left nav bar. Anyone else have this issue?

Your iPhone should never appear on your desktop - the iPhone does not support disk use, so it cannot be mounted like an external disk or an iPod with disk use enabled.
However, it should show up in the devices list in iTunes.
First, do you have another dock cable to try? Any USB dock cable from a recent iPod will work. If that doesn't help, try re-installing iTunes (just download it from here and run the install, no need to uninstall anything). If that doesn't correct the issue, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS:

1.Go to device manager ,under usb serial bus controllers ,apple mobile device driver should be seen,If not do this first connect iphone to computer switch to camera this should start installing driver for the camera of the iphone check the portable devices in Device Manager Apple Iphone should be seen then go down to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers now you should see the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver right click on and click on update driver browse on computer for driver software
Navigate to C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\Apple\MobileDeviceSupport\Drivers\usbaapl.inf.click on this file and you should now have this working.Talk about pulling out hair for this easy fix like others before me reninstalled all the software again again for ditto.I hope this works.Let me know cheers

IOS 4.2 restore in iPhone 4 not working

Hello friends, I downloaded iOS 4.2 ipsw from this website and tried to restore it using iTunes. But after completing the extracting section, it keeps saying that "verifying restore with Apple". And after sometime its pop-up a message server not available. Then I tried the official iTunes method and it is also showing the same message. I remember that I had edited some host files in Windows after the 4.1 update. Could this be the reason? Any help will be appreciated.

i get the same error i have been trying to update to 4.2 since yesterday im my iphone is in restore mode and not working.
