Iphone 4s does not connect to itunes

Hi
My iphone 4s with ios 7.0.4 suddenly is not recognised by itunes (v11.1.4.62) and asks for a restore. Last backup of this devise on this PC was 5 months ago without any problems.
itunes runs on Windows XP.
What could be the cause of this problem so I can avoid it in the future??
Can anybody help me to overcome this problem and take a backup of all the data that I have 4s????
Thank you
pzarb

This could have happened for any reason, but if it is in recovery mode, the data is gone, you would not be able to do a backup now. You should be doing a backup regularly for this purpose. If the 5 month old backup is all you have, then you either restore to that backup, or restore as new without any backup and start over again.

  • HT202778 Why is it that when I plug my iPhone into my computer and press "trust", it disconnects my phone and reconnects it, and still does not connect to iTunes??

    When I plug in my iPhone, it connects and begins to charge, then asks me to "trust" the computer. When I select "trust", rather than connecting to iTunes, my phone gets disconnected and then it reconnects again and continues to charge but does not connect to iTunes... I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and I've also tried connecting my phone with different USB cables and connecting them into different USB ports... Still nothing is working.

    That's how Apple set it up on the Mac.
    There is a free application called iExplorer for Mac that allows you to view and copy files from your iPhone.
    Hope this helps.

    From the box the iphone came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
    You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
    Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
    I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
    Thanks

  • Since upgraded to 10.4.0.80, iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 10.4.0.80, and since then iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store anymore. There is no error message, the window is just completly empty.

    I'm having the exact same issues regarding not being able to connect to the iTunes Store. Running Windows 7.
    Additionally, my iPhone 3GS (32GB) and iPad 2 (64GB) will not sync when attempting to perform a full system restore.
    Also running ESET Antivirus software. I tried the following from Apple Support and neither worked:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN760
    I completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 10.4.0.80 and zeroed out IOS 4.3.5 on each device.
    Additionally, I went to Control Panels > Administrative Tools > Services and stopped and restarted "Apple Mobile Device" and "Bonjour Service".
    NOTHING WORKED ... STILL NOT ABLE TO SYNC.
    I AM HAVING REAL DOUBTS ABOUT PURCHASING THE iPHONE 5 IF THIS SYNCING ISSUE PERSISTS !!!

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

  • HT4972 The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks

    The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks that I have used in the past.  I noticed this after I updated to version 6.  I have tried to reset network settings ;turn off and on wi-fi; reset home network and it's still not working.  Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try resetting your network settings.  Go to General\Reset\Reset Netork Settings.  Sometimes this will fix things.  If not, what type of router do you have, what network are you running (B, G, N, etc.).,
    Good luck!

    You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
    You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

  • Iphone 3g will NOT connect to itunes

    My iphone 3G will not connect with itunes. I see the device as a USB drive e and g and I see the music and files on the phone OK in windows explorer. The phone shows up in the USB devices as MEDIATEC FLASH DRIVE two times. The icons on the phone also are not whats on the box, the bottom icons are dial, filemanager, audioplayer and services for example. I do not have safari or the ipod icons at all. How can I reload the apple OS on this phone??? The phone is a 3G 16 GB. I can not check the os there is no about section.

    My phone is not an iPhone. I took it to my Apple store in the mall and its a fake clone. It's close but not made by Apple.
