hit trust
same alert keeps appearing
again and again

Did you resolve this yet? It took me 3 hours on the phone with support over 2 sessions, but they found the solution.
From the Finder menu:
Go/Go to Folder...
Enter: var/db/lockdown
Select everything in folder and delete
Restart computer
Launch iTunes and plug in phone. It should work (that's what did it for us).
Good luck.

  • When i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library

    when i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library?

    Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes.  It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
    I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

  • ITunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected

    A few days ago, my iPad 3 A1430 screen turned black. Siri was still there but very slow to respond. The following day, the screen display returned (the usual green background colour but a much smaller display and not a single icon present). Siri was back up to speed, could play music, display info but could not respond to calendar enquiries etc. The iPad would switch off but not reboot. I let the battery level drop to zero then re-charged: iPad now working again.
    Wanting to back-up my iPad, I ran iTunes version 12.1.0.50 on iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2). I have PCemulator installed and when the iPad connection was made, I received the usual screen prompt for which to connect to Mac or PC. (The problem starts here: - the prompt was flashing on/off). I selected Mac & received the  message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
    Rebooted PC and iPad, connecting iPad offers no device prompt, only the same error message.
    Successfully backed up iPhone 6 using iTunes.
    Upgraded iPad software to IOS 8.2 and connected again. No effect, same error message.
    Looked at various Apple posts but couldn’t find a solution. After several iMac & iPad reboots, eventually managed to back-up my iPad and in the process lost all my iPad music built up over the years on my old PC. Managed to recover these music files from my old PC and load them onto iTunes on my iMac. Tried to sync my iPad but back to error message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
    Any solution?

    I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.

  • My iPhone is not recognised by iTunes [iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected]

    When I plug my iPhone 4 in to my MacBook Pro, it charges but it is not recognised in iTunes.
    After about 30 seconds I get the following message:
    "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    The device still charges but is not recognised.
    I've obviously tried restarting both devices / programs. I'm running the laters versions of iTunes and iOS on my iPhone. I've tried all the steps in the troubleshooting pages, and i've re installed iTunes. Stil no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I am having a very similar issue with my iPhone 5.
    Yesterday I took it to the Apple Store as the battery was draining rapidly, and had the phone restored from an iCloud backup. Everything but my music was synced, and when I returned home to sync my music, the iPhone is only being recognised by iPhoto and I am having error messages from iTunes that the iPhone is not recognised and is unresponsive. I have tried everything I have found online, including trying to connect my phone to my work computer with similar messages.
    Please help!

  • When I connect my iPad to my iMac I get a repetitive flashing error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."

    When I connect my iPad to my iMac I get a repetitive flashing error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." iPhoto eventually launches but iTunes will not launch iTunes.  iPad will not charge.  Restarted iMac and rebooted iPad and no difference.

    Hi GJ374,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps you can take for issues with your iPad not being correctly recognized in iTunes:

  • ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F)

    iTunes to iPhone 4 wireless sync fails.  iTunes gives me this message:
    iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because of anunknown error occurred (0xE800007F)
    Windows 7 Pro - (Lastest & Greatest)
    iPhone 4 - ios 5.0.1 (Lastest & Greatest)
    iTunes 10.5.1.42 (Lastest & Greatest)
    A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution.  Anyone have a fix for this issue?

    Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
    to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
    This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
    I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.
    regards
    Louis

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
