Iphone 5 wont connect to itunes on macbook air

My new iPhone 5 won't seem to connect ti iTunes on my MacBook Air. I plug it in and it charges fine, however I get the following error message. The phone recognizes my iTunes account in that it's on match and I have access to music and such, but it doesn't show up on in iTunes on my computer. Help!

Are you connecting to a USB hub, or directly to the MBA? If you are using a hub, don't.
Do you have the latest version of iTunes? That's 11.3 as of today's date.
If you neither of these are the issue see: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

    Did you try another USB cable?
    If this does not help, and there's no hub between your device and the USB port of the MacBookAir, you should visit your next Apple Store and let them have a look at both devices.

  • Iphone 4s wont connect to Itunes.

    I recently updated iTunes to 12 on my computer and now my iPhone 4s wont connect to the computer but my iPad Air will.
    I deleted and re-installed iTunes, (I'm running windows 8.1)
    The software is updated on my phone (ios 8.1)
    I've reset location and privacy settings and network settings on my phone
    Restarted both the phone and my laptop
    Re started the apple mobile service device
    Checked that my security software isn't stopping iTunes which it isnt.
    Tried all the USB ports on my laptop
    I'm still using my original iPhone cable
    And it still wont connect, every time i plug it into the computer it just comes up with
    "trust this computer" no matter how many times i click trust it doesn't accept my phone so that i can access it.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks!

    How did you go about restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service? Also, when you uninstalled iTunes did you uninstall all of its components as well?
    Make sure you're using a rear-facing USB port and also temporarily disable any security software.

  • New iphone 5s wont connect to itunes store, new iphone 5s wont connect to itunes store

    Hi Shazzawood,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to connect to the iTunes Store, try these steps first:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Iphone 5 wont connect to Itunes says it requires 64 bit version.

    Everything with this Iphone 5 has been dissapointing from the get go and this is about to throw me over the edge,
    I tried connecting to my iTunes account and said my phone cant connect due to software and told me what I needed
    to install, the 64 bit version on my pc, which isn't a big deal. But I have done what it's told me 3 times now, uninstalling and
    reinstalling this so called 64bit version of iTunes and still says it's not supported. Please can someone help me or I
    will be returning this tomorrow and joining the Samsung world.

    To install iTunes 10.7 you must upgrade the operating system on your computer to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  The installer disc which, as indicated above, you have to buy from Apple will take to to 10.6.3.  Then run the free combo updater to take that to 10.6.8  The cost for the disc is modest and is the only way you can upgrade.  Real Ralph Landry1's post carefully and slowly as I am just basically saying the same thing and the post does include the information you need as to cost and actions.  Here it is again:
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
