Some possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

ITunes does not detect iPhones/iPods - tried everything

Okay, so 2 months ago I got my new Macbook Pro 17". iTunes wouldn't detect my iphone or any other iphone. I tried everything suggested on these forums (hopefully not true), but couldn't get it to work. I gave up and was hoping some sort of itunes update would solve it. Well itunes has been updated and even the OS has been updated to Snow Leopard. It didn't help
I am willing to try anything you suggest, so please keep them coming. Really want to get this sorted now.
Thanks so much for all your help.

Great to hear you have resolved the problem. I am running Tiger 10.4.7 not your 10.6.1 which I beleive is Leopard which I cannot update to as my computer is not suitable. Have you heard if anyone with my OS version has had success. I have tried removing iTunes v9 and then downloading v8.2.1, however I am still unable to gat iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone and iTunes does not acknowledge the connection in the side bar.
Suggestions please.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 4S (Tried everything)

I have tried everything possible to try and get iTunes to recognize my phone. Nothing has worked. I have uninstalled everything to do with Apple, reinstalled, restart my computer, put my phone in recovery mode, shut off internet while doing those again, tried a different cord and nothing worked. I'm not sure what else there is to do. I haven't called Apple because most likely there isn't an answer they can give me. I don't have another computer to try this on so I can't do that. If anybody could help me it would be greatly appreciated. (Also sorry if this is the wrong section )

Hello Jmk600,

ITunes WILL NOT detect my iPhone 4 - Tried everything I can think of!

Hi everyone
I am in desperate need of some help.
I plugged my iPhone into my PC today and iTunes wouldn't detect it, no matter what I tried. All iTunes would do was freeze for 5 or so minutes and then return the error "iTunes cannot read the contents of this iPhone, please restore etc."
I have come across this error before but have gotten around it by restarting iTunes or unplugging and replugging in the iPhone. This time I couldn't get past the error.
So eventually I became frustrated with the fact and decided to restore my iPhone. BIG mistake as once it had restored it needed reactivation and iTunes still would not detect it no matter what I tried.
So I took it to my brothers PC, had him install iTunes (the same version as me, the latest 64bit version) and it had no problem detecting and reactivating the iPhone.
Then the problem became that I had my iPhone activated but my own iTunes would still not detect it so I've lost all my contacts/apps etc. without the possibility of restoring from the last backup.
So my iPhone, in it's current state is if it was just activated, completely empty otherwise.
Oddly enough, Windows has no issue detecting the iPhone with autorun popping up asking me to import photos etc. every time so this leads me to believe there's an underlying issue with iTunes which is weird as I have not changed my iTunes at all in the past week and had no issues syncing etc. a few days ago.
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
- Reinstalling iTunes (numerous times)
- Using different versions of iTunes
- The various different fixes found via Google
- 6 different USB ports
- 4 different USB cables
THINGS I FOUND WEIRD:
- Girlfriends 3GS doesn't get detected in iTunes either but Windows has no issue
- The fact it detected on another PC
Win7 Pro x64 and my rig is pretty high spec so I can't see there being an issue there.
Let me know if there's anything you need to know.
All suggestions welcome and appreciated.

I've had this issue before as well. I think it has to do with 64bit Win 7. Most times I would connect my iPhone to it, it would automatically load iTunes, but it would just freeze and do nothing. I've since reinstalled my OS to 32bit and don't seem to have as many problems.
You can try this... seemed to get it connected for me when I had issues. Not sure if this is how you attempted to fix it before, so I'll say it just in case.
Plug iPhone in and let it load iTunes. When it freezes...
Unplug phone, close iTunes. Open windows Services panel, and do the following in this order:
Stop the "iPod Service"
Stop the "Apple Mobile Device" service
Wait a few seconds, then Start the "Apple Mobile Device" service. Leave the other service stopped.
Plug in the iPhone. Hopefully works after this.

How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

I ran the diagnostic and it kept saying under Port, it does'nt not find Iphone. Tried EVERYTHING! From uninstalling, youtube, google, DFU and downloading some of the so called help links and files. It also keep saying my phone is in restored mode and on the phone it shows a usb plug pointing to itunes and a cd. Trying to fix problem from home and not be charge a fee just to talk to Apple representative. Please help !!!

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
Apple does not support downgrading, so that is probably why you are getting error 3194. As you have to hack the phone to downgrade all bets are off now. As some of the help links and files direct you to jailbreak your phone if you followed any of those you now have bigger problems.

My iphone 4 just shut down and wont turn on and i tried everything..

hi my iphone 4 was working properly last night abd out of no where it kept freezing and turning off and the apple came on and later on it completly turned off and i tried everything to turned it on and nothing, today in the morning i plugged it in to the charger and pressed home plus lock together abd the apple came on!! i was so happy andit turned on back to normal, i was getting ready for school and i was playing music and 20 minutes later it shuts off and now it wont turn on! my iphone is not jail broken or has been dropped in water.

Any other suggestions? I have the same problem. I tried holding the home and power buttons with no response, and I also plugged in my phone to the charger for over an hour and still nothing. That has been the extent of my troubleshooting
Thanks

IPhone 4 Won't Charge. Tried Everything

Hey Everyone,
Well, I'm about to rip my hairs out of my freaking head. Sunday night at 8 o'clock. About to climb into bed and watch a little TV. Plug my iPhone in. Boom. Nothing. Try again for another 10 minutes until eventually it powers down due to low battery. It is now 12:30 at night and still no luck. I've tried everything.
Holding the Home and Sleep button just makes it flash the icon that says it needs charged. My cords are fine, they work with my iTouch. Occasionally it will show the charging symbol for a split second, then it's back to the plug sign. I'm so tired and so frustrated with this. ANy help will be greatly appreciated. I need my phone to work. I'm charging it through a cord that is connected to a iHome. I've tried wall chargers and my computer. Nothing. THe iPhone looks like it dosn't even recognize that there is a USB in it. PLEASE HELP ME.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

My iphone will not show in itunes but does in my computer, I have tried everything on the support site that it says it is also the same for my ipad, any ideas i am at my wits end

I have tried everything re-installing itunes, changing leads, checking device manager and drivers, my computer recognises the iphone and does import photos, but no music.
I am getting really frustrated with this issue.

Have you done all that?

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

IPhone 4 will not restore - TRIED EVERYTHING

So I have a multitude of issues with my iPhone 4 and after trying a multitude of fixes that I could find, no change.
Here are the issues I'm currently facing:
- iPhone will not turn on whlie NOT connected to power source
- When connected to computer, iPhone will display apple logo then switch off then back again continuously
- I can put the phone into recovery mode (with itunes logo and cable display on screen) but am unable to put into dfu mode (I've tried everything)
- when put into recovery mode, iTunes will recognize a general iPhone 4 connection and prompts to initiate a recovery
- iPhone only registers with iTunes not with computer
- Recovery yields either error 21 or error 3194
I have tried:
- Tinyumbrella: iPhone shows up under "Recovery Devices" with a question mark and a series of random numbers
- altering host file
- all manner of restore in iTunes
Is there ANYTHING else I can do to fix this **** thing?

What I would do is run an anti spyware scan / anti virus scan with the iPhone connected to the computer. This way all of your files from both an be checked. It sounds like you have a Trojan that often causes computers of any type to force a shutdown and go into a reboot mode. My guess is you might have had this occur recently on a computer you linked to. If not it may have come from a shareware program or a download you've recently installed. You can down load all of your iPhone files to your computer, run the scans, disconnect your iPhone before file deletion sir scrubs , reset to company settings/ default mode then plug it back in so you can re download your files once they've been scrubbed. If this doesn't work try to disable the location off mode and redo everything again. This way your privacy settings might block or scramble the malware or virus that's tracing your device through your computer. This is the best advice I have. Web root Spysweeper will destroy anything and use a full based line antivirus program. If you connect your device to a work computer chances are it came through an email while it was connected. At any rate good luck and this is the best home remedy I can come up with. iPhones aren't supposed to be inflicted because they don't run on most active x programs, but if a file you're using does that may be your intersection point.

My iphone 4 just stopped receiving or making calls. I have tried everything! Help!!!

Okay, one day a little less than a MONTH ago, my iphone 4 just stopped receiving calls(90% of the time) and making calls(50% of the time.). I panicked because my job depends on my phone to work. So, i go to apple, ATT, back to apple, back to ATT, etc. There is no end to this. And, literally, the people at ATT and Apple, keep telling me that they are probably not going to figure out a solution, and that I should just cancel my account. Now, I really don't want to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!New iphone from apple because they thought it was a ATT problem but gave me new iphone 4 anyway, new sim about 1 minute after the new phone, new phone number. The engineers at ATT said if i relocated and told them that i was moving, it would give me a new number and reset all the routing stuff. I didn't want to do this because of losing my number with business, but had to resort to it anyway. Now I have a number from a different state, and I still have the problem!!!!!!!!! I have exhausted all my options with apple and att, and both tell me the only thing i can do is buy a prepaid phone from a different service! I need my iphone for work, and this has been going on for over a month now. I was told there was a routing issue, but the engineers opened a ticket on it, and NO solution. Then they opened a second case ticket, and still no good. They are claiming I should cancel and buy a new phone. My phone just stopped recieving calls one day. No notification of missed calls, EVER since this started happening. Voicemails go thru( only some of them) about an hour or two later, and texts are taking a bit longer than usual. I have really tried everything the engineers can think of, even getting a brand new phone! Please someone help me!!!!!!!! I am desperate!!!!!!!!!!!! This happens anywhere i go, not just in my area.

Might sound silly but is the mute switch on the left side of the phone in the correct position?
