IPhone 4 os 4.1 read by computer but not itunes

I plug my iPhone in and it vibrates/makes the connected noise and my computer recognizes it but iTunes doesn't. I'm running Windows 7 by the way. I've tried different USB ports, uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I've also ran iTunes diagnostics and everything is fine but it still doesn't recognize my phone. If anyone else has this problem or has a solution please let me know.

    I'm having the same problem right now. I tried to connect my iPhone 4 to my laptop and the sound indicating that it is connected sounded off and my iPhone is charging but it won't sync. I tried reinstalling iTunes but that did not work for me.

  • My iphone 4 is connecting to my computer, but not itunes

    I already tried to redownload itunes and the same thing is happening. The same thing is happening with my Ipod except there is an error message that comes up with it. I don't know why it won't connect, help?

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • Can be seen in my computer but not itunes????!!!!

    After i clicked "manually update checked songs bla bla bla"

    can someone please help?
    THANKS!!!!!

    Since you re-formate you computer your iPod will see it as a new computer.
    First get iTunes to see your computer:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    After that you can move iTunes purchases, including your apps. to the "new" compouter by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Also, you can always redownload apps at no additional cost:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    If necessary you can transfer non-iTunes music to your computer by using one of the third-part programs discussed in in this previous discussion.
    Best iPod to PC
    Make sure that the .xml folder/file is actually music and not just a listing of music Ican y place the songe in iTunes on the computer).
    After you get everything in your iTunes library, restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod.  You will lose your app date since you do not have a iPod backup file t restore from.

  • Third-generation iPod appears in "My Computer" but not iTunes

    I am sure this problem has been brought up many times before, but my iPod is not showing up in my iTunes but does appear in my My Computer folder. I have tried the troubleshooting options available on the Apple support page and have done other web searches for some help but nothing to avail. Can anyone help me?

    hi haptic!
    I had it all working fine until I formatted my pc. Now windows recognizes it but not iTunes or the updater, and I don't get any error message.
    just checking. have you investigated these possibilities yet?

  • Yet Another Faulty iPod Classic - Connects to "computer" but not iTunes

    In Oct 2009, I purchased 160GB Classic and is now out of warranty so unable to replace, and i am not too keen on buying another one (NZD $470 RRP).
    It had been working as per normal until Dec 2010 when I tried to sync the iPod on newly updated iTunes (10.1) then it started to freeze during sync and now, it doesn't sync any longer. It is howing as "connected" on the iPod and in "My Computer", but doesn't show up in iTunes at all.
    iTunes also freezes (doesn't work whatsoever) while my iPod is plugged in to my computer. I have tried everything that the "Apple" help sites suggest (the 5 "R's", formatting, disk mode etc) you name it, but to no avail.
    Trying to fix this problem is becoming frustrating and time consuming. My wifes iPhone 4 works perfectly so I know it's not the computer or iTunes itself. As I (had) trust in Apple products, I would expect this to last for more than 15 months.
    I have no idea how this all came to be, and would just like it to work as normal again. What a way for Apple to earn its' "money"...
    PLEASE, if ANYONE can help here, it would be very much appreciated.

    I purchased 4 x iPod Classic 160gb units between July 2008 and March 2009 (and a 120gb Classic with which we have not had a problem). One unit worked for one day and had to be returned and was replaced with a new unit. The other three all failed within the 12 month warranty period and were replaced by Apple. Of the four replacements, three have now failed about 15 months after they were replaced. Of course the units are outside warranty (in particular due to Apple only offering the greater of 3 months warranty or the remainder of the original warranty). The units haven’t been subjected to any forceful knocks and as demonstrated by the lack of physical marks on the units.
    To have 7 out of 8 units fail in this timeframe is in my opinion indicative of a fundamental flaw in the build quality or design of the units. After putting my case to Apple Australia I finally received a reply confirming that the units were out of warranty and nothing could/would be done - but they did offer a "thank you gift" of a credit of up to $125 at the Apple Store if I spent at least $425.
    I replied that this wasn’t satisfactory but took up the credit whilst it was offered to at least get some discount off a new 160gb Classic (more reliable I am led to believe!). I am now out of pocket over $770 with replacement three units and still have one remaining unit that could die at any time.
    Apple is no longer replying to my emails. If anyone with similar experiences would like to join together to put pressure on Apple to make good, or pursue other actions via consumer affairs, please reply on this forum.

  • IPod shows up in "My Computer" but not iTunes...please help!

    Ok so I have a 8gb iPod nano 5g and my computer is Windows XP running Service Pack 3. I have iTunes fully updated, I know this is so because I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled everything related to iTunes 3 times now. I have looked all over Apples support pages, scoured every possible solution to my problem, but nothing is working. Every time I connect my iPod to my computer, a message in iTunes pops up saying "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect iPod and try again." Yes I have googled that exact phrase and looked at every website that offers solutions that don't work for me.
    I know that the problem is not the cable, I have tried 3 different cables and none of them work. When I connect it to my parent's Toshiba laptop running XP SP3 and up to date iTunes, the iPod syncs and works perfectly. In addition, the iPod shows up in "My Compter" but when iTunes then pops up, it no longer appears...I am really at wits end and if I can't figure out what to do the next option is probably snapping this thing in half, because I don't want to pay the money to send it to Apple. Thank you for any help.

    Look in Troubleshooting in the iPod 4th Gen User Manual pdf and follow the 5 R's. That should replace whatever in the iPod doesn't permit iTunes to see it.

  • TS1369 Ipod is recognized by my computer but not iTunes

    Hello Logan,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes.  If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

  • My ipad is showing up on my computer, but not itunes.

    I have restarted the computer and my itunes is up to date!

    If you're running windows that the reason. I've had the same prob. Try disconnected your iPad and then open iTunes when your iPad isn't connected and make sure it's not bombed out then close it. Then try putting it back in and take the prices slowly do
    Nt. rush it to open that mostly when I get the problem. If that's doesn't work reboot your iPad while holding down both the sleep/wake and home button for 10 seconds then switch it back on normally after about 5 seconds

  • Ipod nano shows in my computer but not ITunes

    I have a windows xp and I have some Ipod 4s that i want to reset them and sell them. Whenever I connect either of the 3 of them, they all go on a dim screen that says 'do not dissconnect' and I can't do anything on them. If i go to my computer and eject them then I can go through the ipod but it still won't show up in ITunes. It will charge fine, that is no problem, I just can't get it to show up on itunes... Help please!

    Hello, friend. You may try these steps.
    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
