  • TS1538 iPhone 2G not recognized by iTunes after erasing all content

    Okay, I am trying to fix and iPhone 2G. I decided to erase its contents, which apparently erased the iOS as well. However, how can I add an iOS if iTunes and my computer are not recognizing it? I already have the 3.12 IPSW downloaded so I could have restored in iTunes, but for no reason now. Also, it only shows the Apple logo with a loading, freezing circle. I have no idea what is the cause, and would really like a solution. Thanks.

    You need to put it in DFU mode.

    DFU mode would be the last thing to try before contacting Apple Support or visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store.

  • 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

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

  • IPhone 3GS/iOS4 not recognized in iTunes After Replacing MacBook HD

    Several days ago, after experiencing some problems w/ my MacBook, I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store. After some diagnostic tests, it was determined that my hard drive was in the process of dying. A new, replacement hard drive was installed by the very helpful Genius. When I got home, I used Time Machine to restore the contents of my hard drive.
    I am running OS10.6.4 on my MacBook, with the latest version (9.2?) of iTunes.
    After restoring the contents of my hard drive, Time Machine would not back up my MacBook until i formatted the backup drive, and started backups with Time Machine all over again (so now, only one backup since the hard drive restore).
    Now, when connecting my iPhone 3GS running iOS4.0.2, the connection confirmation noise sounds, my iPhone very briefly shows up in the devices list in iTunes, and then disappears. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting my iPhone a few times to see if I could get iTunes to recognize my iPhone. No luck.
    At some point after several unsuccessful attempts to get my iPhone to be recognized, I was presented with the message that iTunes could not recognize the iPhone, and I should click the restore button in iTunes. I did this. iTunes wanted to download some software, for the restoration. It looked like this was successful, but then my iPhone vanished from the devices list again. After disconnecting and reconnecting it, and then clicking restore in iTunes, a message that iTunes could not contact the Apple software downloads server. This was erroneous, since I did have a functioning internet connection at the time (I had several tabs open and running in Safari at the time).
    Can anyone please help?!

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes after update

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes and quicktime with nor problem. I hooked up the iPhone and downlaoded the latest update for it as well and it crashed during the installation of it. I have since had to reboot on my roomates pc and it will not be come up in iTunes. My computer still recognizes it though. I have gone through all the steps in apples site and microsoft and have no clue what to do now. I use this thing all day every day and need the music and video capablities for "work" purposes. If anyone can help, thanks.

    Symptoms:
    iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however an iPod will.
    The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else.
    Problem:
    The Apple iPhone Driver has been replaced by a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes.
    SOLUTION:
    From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

  • IPhone 3g won't turn on, and not recognized by iTunes after erase/reset

    My iPhone G3 (with the latest 4.0.1 software) was acting up so I decided to do an erase/restore to see if it helped the problems.
    I did a reset/erase everything through the phone OS now all I get is the Apple start screen, and the phone does not start up. When I plug connect it to my computer the iPhone is not recognized.
    Clueless!! Any help?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. Select restore as new, follow by syncing your itunes content.

  • IPhone 3GS is not recognized by iTunes after update 10.1.1

    Was updating my iPhone (4.2.1) as well as iTunes 3 days ago.
    When I connect the iPhone to the computer and open iTunes it's not recognized.
    The computer regognizes the hareware.
    Yesterday during the process of syncing the error "cannot sync because there is no connection to the iPhone" popped up.
    I hope this is the right catergory... but please help.
    I already tried the reinstallation of iTunes.

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 4 - since updating to iTunes 10.1.1 I my iPhone is not recognised by iTunes. I have reinstalled and done all of Apple's suggestions up to the point of messing with the deep settings in Windows (I'm not confident that I won't mess up other things if I do this). The computer recognises the iPhone but iTunes ignores it. Come on Apple - how about a simple fix that doesn't require a nerdy ability to delve into the depths of software settings!

  • IPhone is not recognized by iTunes

    iPhone 5, had nothing but problems with this Phone, something i never had when i had a wackberry. Firstly the lock button broke, now the phone wont sync and crashes every couple hours unexplainably which is excellent when im typing an email.
    The 3rd problem now, after my second phone replacement the phone will not sync all of sudden which is no supprise as to be honest this has a worse repuation than blackberry at the moment, the iPhone 6 will have to be improved on this as it is quite frankly annoying that i should spend £500+ on somthing that performes like its £200....
    Back to the sync problem, all of a sudden unexplainably my iPhone 5 will no sync plugged it in i have reinstalled iTunes and still isnt working.... Please no stupid answers like "please check the wire" as i have used my other iPhone 5 cable and my other iPhone 5  which also is now not syncing, so its either a phone fault or a itunes fault.
    suggestions, thanks.

    Well, you do not mention in the thread what you say in the subject, not recognized by iTunes. So, if I understand correctly, you have an iPhone 5, the lock button broke, the phone won't sync, and it crashes every couple of hours.
    Well, what troubleshooting have you tried. I don't want to waste either of our time by typing things you have already done, but my first suggestion would be to take the device to Apple to have it replaced since the lock button or sleep/wakd button is necessary to do much of the user troubleshooting, and also to put the device into recovery and DFU mode. Without it, it is very difficult to do a lot of things.
    You also do not mention what computer OS you are using, and then your edit says you removed and reinstalled iTunes. There is a specific way to do that and not doing it correctly can just compound problems.
