IPhone 4 cannot be read by iTunes 10.6.

Before I downloaded 10.6, I opened iTunes and said my iPhone could be updated to iOS 5.0.1, so I ran it.  An error showed up and I figured I could just try again, except my iPhone would not show up under devices.  My hp laptop was able to read the iPhone but iTunes couldn't.  So I downloaded iTunes 10.6 to see if it helped, it didn't.  I used a different cord, no luck. I used a different USB port, still no luck.  I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, nothing.  I used device manager as many people have, it didn't work.  I did the whole sleep/wake up and home button holding down thing, no help there either.  I thought it could be my laptop so I tried my second generation iPod touch and iTunes did read it, so I don't know what's going on.  I need my phone, can someone tell me whats wrong, I'm hoping to get an answer here instead of take a long trip down to the genius bar. 

ok so its on now but still not doing anything

  • My iphone 5 cannot conect to the itunes store

    even when i type in my Apple ID the Iphone tells me that i cannot connect to the itunes store

    I'm having the same issue with my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.  It appears to be my main iTunes account, but 2 others that I have work and are able to download apps.  My main account, which was used to download most of my apps, will not download anything.  I sent an email to support and they are responding with their scripted answers and are saying it's a network connection but that is not the case.  I have responded multiple times and have sent links to the threads in this support community.  I advise you to do the same so they realize that something is broken.

  • Iphone 4 Cannot Connect To The Itunes Store

    Ok, I've tried each and every solution from changing the brightrness to fully restoring my iphone to dancing around it with some incense burning while chanting ancient Tibetian mantras and still each and every time I try to update my apps or download a new app from my phone I get the "Cannot connect to the Itunes Store" error message.  This has all been since the last ios update and it's frustrating as ****.  The itunes store works fine on my ipod touch, my sons ipod touch but not my phone.  Please fix this or at least give us a clue how to do it. 
    A frustrated iphone lover.

    You didn't answer my first question.
    Are you trying to update using your iPhone or computer's iTunes?
    Do this steps
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings again
    By the way, we are all users here like you trying to help and we are not from Apple.

  • IPod Classic Cannot Be Read By iTunes

    Yesterday after charging my iPod,once disconnecting it I realised that there wasn't any music on the iPod which I thought was stragne.So I connected it back to my PC and for some odd reason it isn't be read by iTunes however it does show that the iPod is connected on My Computer.Also,when I connect it my iTunes freezes and so does My Computer.
    Any idea whats up guys ?

    I am having similar problems. After seven months of working perfectly, itunes doesnt want to recognise my ipod. I have been through all the steps on the document suggested and tried various network drive letters for the ipod. I have reinstalled itunes 5 times now. The ipod is clearly there when i go into explorer, the computer recognises it as my ipod but when Iopen itunes, the option to sunc ipod is greyed out and there is no sign of the ipod. have tried resetting the ipod whilst it is connected to the comuter and itunes and when its not. Nothing seems to be working.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions before I pull all my hair out. Cheers

  • ITunes error message - iPhone contents cannot be read. IOS5 and iTunes 10.5

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my phone which is an iPhone 3gs. I have recently upgraded it to the ios5 software and since then my music will not sync to my phone. I have had some problems after this with iTunes not even loading & just freezing every time I try to do anything but now I have it loading and I get an error message coming up which says...
    'iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone 'Danielle's iPhone'. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iPhone to the factory settings.'
    I was just wondering if there is a way around it? As the last backup I did when iTunes was working properly was before I updated the software on the phone so I don't want to lose things I've done in between on it. Maybe by uninstalling iTunes perhaps? I wondered too if anyone else was having the same problem.
    I hope someone can help me,
    Kind regards,
    Danielle.

    Oh also I must add...
    When installing the ios5 software and the phone had then been restored from back up it kept coming up an error message that the restore hadn't been successful. I ignored this as everything was as before on my phone and each time I pressed for it to restore it again the same error message came up.

  • IPhone cannot be read by iTunes

    I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and I was pretty happy about that. But then my wi-fi started acting up. I couldnt connect to my Aunt's internet that she had just gotten installed that very same day. So I reset my network settings and everything was working just fine for a while. Then about a week and a half later (which brings us to today) I was trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes, and a message popped up that said iTunes cannot read my iPhone 4. The message also said that in order for my phone to start working properly again is to restore my phone. From what I heard, restoring deletes EVERYTHING off of my phone. I don't like that very much. The thing is, I need the information on my phone and I'm not sure if its backed up or not. iCloud probably would be able to help me in this crisis, but i can't get that either!! I was thinking that maybe if I updated the software to iOS 6.0.1, everything would be good again. But as suspected, I can't. If you have ANY clue on how to fix this mess (preferably WITHOUT restoring my iPhone) I would really apperciate it.

    Have you recently reinstalled your OS from an older DVD or backup or ued your Library from a different System? Try to update to the newest Version of iTunes  (it should be 10.4.1) from the  Apple Menu -> Software Update.
    That should resolve that problem.

  • My Iphones can not be read in itunes....tells me to restore iphone

    iPhone 4S and 5S does not work in itunes. 
    It works, then it doesn't work.  The 5S is brand new.  I restored my iphone 4S it worked, but the next day it didn't.
    I tried everything and can not get itunes to read our phones......is there a problem with 7.1.1 or latest itunes.  This is ver fustrating.   Took me forever to restore my phone and restore back up.  I don't want to jail break, I want a easy solve.  Went to drivers and no options there.  Please help.  JenStar
    The error:
    iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "Jenstar"  Go to the Summary tab in iPhone prefences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings.

    OK here it is....for anyone else having this issue.
    Talking with some Mac pro's here.
    There is a corrupted itunes song in my play list, in order to remove it you need to do a reset on your phone, no need to do a factory reset.  Just go into General/Reset/Erase All content and Settings.  Once  your are reseting and restarting you can back up your phone with iCloud back up.  (This is way it's good to backup your phone)
    Next is to locate the iTunes song that is corrupted....I know it's one of the songs from Frozen, but which one.
    OK here is my problem, paying money for corrupted music is not my idea of fun.  There should be someone checking these, lost out on the album because I can't find the corrupted song that causes my phone to go nuts.  All shows OK in itunes.
    I know have access to itunes on the computer as long as I don't download the corrupted file.

  • HT4623 Iphone 4 cannot be used because itunes outdated on it

    My Iphone 4 is updated to IOS 6.0.1 but I still get that itunes on it is outdated when connecting to itunes on my mac. Any help welcome?

    It is not iTunes on your phone that is outdated. You need to update iTunes on your Mac. iOS 6 requires iTunes 10.7 or higher on your Mac in order to sync. iTunes 11.0.1 is the most current version.
    iTunes 10.7 and higher requires max OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or higher. If your system supports it I recommend updating you Mac system to 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) as this version more fully supports iCloud and other iOS features on your Mac.
    If you have too early and OSX version on your Mac check with the Apple store to see if you can upgrade your OSX to enable you to then install iTunes 11.0.1.

  • Iphone 5 cannot be used with itunes 10

    I am very annoyed to find out that all of a sudden my iPhone 5 is not allowed to connect and sync to itunes 10. It gives an error saying you have to update to iTunes 11 to connect and sync and backup my iPhone. This is outrageous. I have a massive library, over 7500 albums, and using the new album view in itunes 11 is horrible and tedius (I am forced to use it on the remote app and it is terrible). And the song view does not give you album artwork, so browsing has been severly downgraded.  I do not understand how apple can force you to use new software if you are happy using the old software, and making the computer I bought from them and the iphone i bought from them suddenly stop working out of nowhere.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a workaround of some kind?

  • Only purchased music showing in iPhone 5s/ cannot add music from iTunes

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5s, running iOS 8.1.3, and the iTunes on my laptop is also up to date with the latest version. Last night I was dragging and dropping music from my iTunes library to my iPhone as normal - but then I suddenly noticed that all the music in my iPhone Music library had disappeared, except for things I'd purchased. I didn't change any settings or press anything by mistake or do anything different whatsoever, it just suddenly happened. Now whenever I try to drag and drop or even sync music from my iTunes library to my iPhone, nothing happens - the music does not appear on my phone. I have "Show all music" checked on my phone, but still only the purchased stuff is showing up. I don't use iTunes match or iCloud or anything like that either, I always just drag and drop music from my laptop onto my phone and it has always worked fine up until this point. Can anybody help with this? Thanks!

    According to feedback I have received, this is what has worked for many people:
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • IPod Cannot Be Read By ITunes

    My Windows XP crashed yesterday. We restored the computer and Itunes and all of the music was still intact (thank god!) Anyway, I added some more songs then went to import them to my Ipod, but just when the Itunes is about to recognize the Ipod, I get a message saying that my IPod is improperly installed and cannot communicate with ITunes.
    It then tells me to install ITunes and Ipod. I do that, but then it says a newer version of ITunes is already on this computer. I then restart it, and the same problem continues to persist. Do I need to uninstall/reinstall ITunes first? Any help would be great.
