IPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1 is not recognised by iTunes 10.6.3

Hi all,
When I plug my iPhone 4S into my Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3 does not recognise the device. The iPhone is running iOS 5.1.1.
I have read the steps within http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier) and unfortunately they do not help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Adrian

Restore the phone as New, and do not reload your backup. If you still have a problem with it you have a hardware problem.

Hello SajidChaudhary,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

IPhone 5 running ios7.1.1 is no longer recognised by iTunes on my pc that runs windows 7

iphone 5 running ios 7.1.1 is no longer recognised by itunes on my pc that runs windows 7 and i cannot sync.

This is a common issue and a solution could have easily been found by searching the forums or google.
Device not detected in iTunes for Windows

IPhone 3G running iOS 4.0 is no longer recognized in iTunes

My iPhone 3G, which I had successfully (after much labor) upgraded to iOS 4.0, started having problems yesterday. I was getting this message after downloading some photos:
"An iPhone has been detected but it could not be identified properly Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again."
I have tried everything, and was still getting this message.
Then something changed, and it totally does not recognize the iPhone. I want to go back to iOS 3.1.3, and have it to he point where it is ready to be restored, but it is not visible in iTunes, so I don't know how to proceed.

So after trying several times to connect to my mac and be recognized, my iPhone 3G finally showed up in iPhoto with what appeared to be a blank photo, so I let it get imported, and it turned out to be two photos that I had been trying to import when these problems surfaced. It brought them in OK. And I noticed that it had the proper name for my iPhone: Glen Grayson's iPhone.
Then I went to iTunes, and saw that I had the option to restore a device, which it is calling "Untitled Playlist". The capacity of Untitled Playlist matches my iPhone. So right now, I am restoring iPhone, starting with Backing up untitled Playlist, which I am not sure is even a good idea. It is going very slowly.

My iphone 4 (running iOS 4.3.3) will not display my music library

It all started when I wanted to add a new song to my library. I forgot how to add it and accidently clicked sync, but then remembered that it would erase my library so I canceled it early. After that my phone froze, I restarted and this is where I am at now.
My music library only shows up in iTunes when my phone is plugged into my PC and it shows that my muisc library is still all there, as seen here:
When its not plugged in and I goto to my iPod App, this is what I see and it doesnt change!:
Oh and it also will not display my photo library on my phone and it also says its updating and is stuck there.
What can I do to fix this? I have had no problems with this phone yet and this is very frustrating. Everything else on the phone is in wokring order though.. calls messaging and purchased apps
thank you
Bryan

Do these other individuals actually have iDevices?
Are they having issues sending/receiving messages from others?
Can they successfully send a message to you?
Honestly, nothing about what you describe sounds like an issue with your device or Apple ID.

IPhone 5 running ios7.1.1 is no longer recognised by iTunes on my iMac?

I am running a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I have an iPhone 5. This was running fine until the last update 7.1.1 and not I can't sync or charge from either computer! What's going on? Any solutions?

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

Notes from My iPhone 4 (Running iOS 5.1.1) Sync as Blank Files in Mail on 10.6.8

Hi.
I have a perplexing problem that I have not seen discussed anywhere. With my iPhone 4, running iOS 5.1.1, syncing notes in Mail results in a stange blank Notes document appearing in the Notes sidebar in Mail. The Notes look like a yellow sheet of ruled paper, as they do on my iPhone, but they open to reveal no information other than their names.
Once opened, they disappear from my list of Notes, and upon the next sync via USB cable from my iPhone to my Mac, the notes also disapepar from the phone. When opened in Mail, the blank and useless no-longer-a-note Notes will not close unles I quit Mail. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. In Mail, I've tried both listing the Notes in the Inbox, and as their own separate group. Neither work.
The Notes never synced well with any of my iPhones, and are a real pain now. I've taken to doing what I did before the notes were syncable (in Tiger), and enter items in my Address book so that they last through syncing. I've also trashed the Mail .plist file and reconfigured Mail, but that had no affect.
Has anyone encountered this issue? It is beyond frustrating, particulalrly because Mail deletes the Notes. Thanks for any feedback. ;-)

Same here. It is a major flaw to have the sync process permanently delete material without any user input or notification.

IPHONE 5 RUNNING IOS 6.1.4 WON'T LET ME UPDATE TO IOS.7

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1.4 and was wanting to update to IOS.7 wirelessly but when I go into Software Update it tells me this software is up to date and doesn't give me any option to update to IOS 7. I know the software has been released from today so was wondering why I can't update.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I feel silly now, I just looked it up and it won't be released until 6pm my time.
Thanks for your help!

Messy Push Notifications on iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1

Well guys, I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1. Initially push notifications for all apps worked fine. I never missed a notification on any of the apps especially Facebook. I even got every notification about friends and pages I have liked on facebook. Recently, I only started getting sound notifications (no banners no alerts) for pages or friends I had subscribed to. Other notifications worked fine like Timeline posts, messages, friend requests, events e.t.c But recently even those notifications stopped working and not only for facebook but a few of the other apps as well. One of the weirdest things was that I still seem to be getting some notifications when my device is an unlocked state. But when my device is locked I am hardly getting any notifications for apps like Facebook and Twitter. Any one here who has encountered the same problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I might do that eventually but right now I have so much app data and settings and configurations on it I cant risk changing the iOS because i will lose most of it that way. Isn't there a way of resetting all the Push notifications settings and preferences in order to get working again from scratch?

ICal calendars not syncing with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
I'm using iCal on my MBP running Mac OS 10.6.4
I have a MobileMe account.
Never had an issue with calendars syncing with the iPhone previously.
I am using MobileMe Calendar Beta. This now displays my calendars in iCal under my MobileMe account name (eg. [email protected]) rather than the 'On My Mac' section that it use to.
I have five separate calendars in iCal on the Mac all named appropriately (eg. Work, Personal etc.) and all that appears on the iPhone is one calendar named 'Calendar' with no events in it??
I've used MobileMe (.Mac) and iPhone syncing for years and have them set up as I always have.
Does anyone have the same issues? Does anyone have any constructive advise?
Thanks
Jeff

Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?

Just bought a new phone and want to import all my app settings and information. I have heard all the complaints about iPhone 4s running iOS 8 and don't want to update until I have it preinstalled on a new 6+.
Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
or would I have to upgrade my 4S to iOS 8, backup, and then restore the new phone. I need to ensure that my 4S powers on and works so I can receive trade in credit for it (~$200), so this is worth a bit to ensure that my 4S stays functional.
Thanks

You can load a backup from an earlier iOS version onto a device with a later iOS version, but not the other way around.
If you're going to do this, I'd recommend doing a backup of your 4s to your computer (not iCloud) and load the backup onto the 6+ from the computer. You can try an iCloud backup/installation, but also do a local backup in case something goes wrong. A local backup is more comprehensive than an iCloud backup, and in my experience it loads more reliably.

Why does deleting a calendar appointment on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2 not send a cancellation notice to attendees?

The company I work for runs Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers on premise. I have an Exchange account configured on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2. I am finding that if I choose to Delete an event from the Calender app on the iphone, the event is being removed from the iphone, and from the Exchange server, but the other people that are invited to the meeting are not receiving cancellation notices, nor is the event being deleted from their Exchange calendars. Why not?

I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S. Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
Discouraged....

I previously was able to wirelessly ePrint to my HP Photosmart Plus e-All-In-One B210a using both my iPad & iPhone (both run IOS 5.1). For some unknown reason neither one can now print. I keep getting a message that the printer is no longer available. My MacBook continues to print ok. Any ideas?

Reboot everything. Router, printer and pad. If it used to work, it will again. It just lost itself somewhere.
