IPhone 3GS not recognized in itunes and xcode on imac i7

I've got an issue where my iphone 3GS is no longer recognized by my iMac i7 in either itunes or xcode. Iphoto does see my iphone. If I hook it up to my macbook it works fine. Is anybody aware of something strange as far as imac i7 and iphone is concerned. Strangely enough it did work about two weeks ago.
Help

You should have received a message saying your phone was detected in recovery mode and needed to be restored when you connected it to iTunes. 
Try putting it in DFU mode to restore it, as explained here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034.

  • Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

    Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
    iTunes 10.3.1
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs.  I have tried the following steps:
    -Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software.  Did not work.
    -Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
    -Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
    -Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
    -Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
    I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked!  Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
    Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone).  This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes.  It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
    I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again.  This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze.  I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
    One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
    Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

    Nope, haven't been able to fix it.  I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt.  They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
    So frustrating.  I can't get apps to sync either.
    At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
    For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it

  • Xmas Nano not recognized by iTunes and ejecting crashes iMac HARD!

    I hooked up my new 8Gb Nano and was notified I had to upgrade iTunes. Did that. Then a dialog box popped up telling me the Nano was not recognized and advising to disconnect and reconnect it. After doing this a half dozen times it was finally recognized. Tried to sync with iTunes and it froze on selection #19. Had to FORCE QUIT iTunes. As the Nano was telling me it is connected and needs to be ejected I did that in FINDER and the iMac had a hard crash. Had to force a power-down. I went through this absurdity 5 times with iTunes starting a sync at #19 then after deleting #19, it froze at selection #11, deleted that and it froze at #1. After each freeze and my tying to eject the Nano and getting 5 hard crashes I finally went to bed!
    Today I trashed iTunes, downloaded it again and hooked up nano. Nothing. It was not recognized by iTunes but showed up in FINDER and the DESKTOP. Quit iTunes. I ignored ejecting it, disconnected it. Started iTunes again connected the Nano and got the spinning color wheel for about ten minutes. While I searched the net for solutions it finally stopped spinning but, the Nano is not listed in iTunes! It shows up on the desktop and in finder and the Nano is telling me it is connected and needs to be ejected. I'll try to eject it next but I'm sending this now as I've no confidence the mac won't have another hard crash!
    This is pretty disappointing. I finally talked my brother in-law into abandoning the PC (as I did last year after a zillion years of PC frustration) and consider getting a new iMac. "All you have to do is hook up your Mac and it just works!!!" From what I'm seeing here and other places, the Nano/iTunes problem is not unusual, BUT I'm seeing nothing from Apple to address this issue. Is Apple becoming the next Microsoft? Who needs this crap?
    Does there have to be a mass return of Nano's to get Apple's attention? I know mine goes back tomorrow!

    I have followed every troubleshooting page on the apple support site yet my ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by itunes
    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Iphone 3GS not syncing to Itunes and credit card declining with funds

    I've been researching this for 2 months now and I know there are many with the same issue(s). Has there been a solution to this yet?
    Issues:
    -credit card declining with sufficient funds available
    -Itunes does not recognize the iphone
    -unable to purchase songs
    -when there has been a new release or update, my iphone will all of a sudden sync.
    Thanks for any assistance or pointers.

    Hello Paul....
    Hmm. My phone had a crack in the screen and got a bit wet in my bag when a drink leaked. It didn't turn on for a few days but then it worked again despite the fact the LED screen was a bit damaged but it was locked on the Emergency Calls only screen.
    Anyway, today I did some trouble shooting and I was successful in connecting the iPhone with iTunes and selected "restore".
    This meant iTunes did export software and I could then see the little progress bar active on my iphone...
    Now my iPhone seems to be unlocked because it is not in the emergency screen anymore but it is asking my to select a language and then a country and then I cannot get any further....
    In Devices in iTunes it says.... "There is a problem with your iPhone, please visit the Service Answer Centre."
    Do you think I can revive it?
    Regardless, I have good news! I found my lost iPhone 4s so I am a really happy bunny.
    It would still be cool to the 3Gs working as I use it for my iPod.

  • Why does my iphone is not recognized by Itunes and can't be restored?

    my Iphone went blank and I'm asked to plug it in with Itunes. When I do so, it's not recognized and can't be restored. Any clue?

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • IPhone 3GS not recognized by iTunes on Mac

    I have not been able to synch my phone since upgrading to most current version of iTunes. I have followed the instructions from apple help on how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. I have done that twice now. Didn't work. I have also reset my phone per instructions on apple help. Didn't work. USB ports are fine as iPhone will at least charge while being plugged into either of them.
    What should I try next?
    Thanks

    iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

  • My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

    I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other.  They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports.  So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If not...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!
