Iphone 5S no longer recognized in ITunes and so cannot sync

Iphone 5S is no longer recognized in ITunes so it cannot sync. I am not seeing the driver listed and therefore the recommendation to repair the driver does not work for me. Have rebooted, deleted Itunes and reuploaded many many times. I have read and tried all the "Apple" fixes listed. I use Kasperasky Anti-Virus and wondered if that could be blocking the driver needed. I have added the Apple programs to Kaspersky's exclusion list but that did not work. Seems ridiculous to spend any more money to download songs in ITunes if I can never sync my Iphone 5S to get them on my phone. Apple techs, please help - just recommending the standard fixes I keep reading has not helped at all. Anyone else have a different suggestion? Thanking you in advance as I've spent so many hours on trying to find a fix.

Thank you for your suggestions but I still have the problem. The Iphone 5S is not recognized and I have deleted Kaspersky off my computer (and still have not put it back on yet). I still do not see the Apple Mobile Service USB Driver listed. I had done this process previously (several times) but went through it all again in your order just in case I missed something. I am wondering if there is a way to go back to the previous version of ITunes in case it was the ITunes update causing me the problems. I do not think I can blame it on Kaspersky since it is not on my computer now and I have the same problem.
I also notice that the Iphone is not listed in my devices in Windows 7 - not sure if it was before or is suppose to be for sure - but just noting it is not. I tried the option to add devices but Windows does not find the Iphone 5S. Just thought I would add that information in case that should lead to a solution. Again thanks for your time - would appreciate any other suggestions. I don't think you can use Apple Support without paying money so would like to find help from someone else having the problems. I think it is odd so many people are having problems with their phone being recognized or sometimes just it syncing - and various steps have helped others (like uninstalling and re-installing). Thanks for any help.

replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and I cannot sync

You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard. iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6. So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running. A G5 is a PowerPC. Intel is Intel.
Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
What version of iTunes do you have?
Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine? Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

My iphone 5s is not recognized by Itunes so I cannot sync with my windows 8.1 . my ipod touch will but not my Iphone. do you have a solution?

My IPhone 5S is not recognized on my Itunes so I cannot transfer music from my library to my phone. I use window 8.1 OS. My ipod touch is recognized so the problem is limited to my IPhone 5S. I have tried the solutions offered by Apple support What can I do?

I had a similar problem with my iPhone and fixed it. You might as well give this a try even if your iPod works. This is what I did. (Follow these steps):
1. Make sure your phone is not connected/plugged to your computer then continue on step 2.
(For some reason, apparently iTunes also get installed to iPhone's which makes it sort of faulty.)
2. By going to your computer's Control Panel - Uninstall itunes. To completely uninstall itunes you need to uninstall 5 programs in this very sequence. (You have to make sure you follow this in order.)
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
3. Then simply re-install the latest iTunes. Go tohttp://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ , on the left side of that page you'll see a blue botton that say's "Download Now". Press that button and it should allow you to make sure that you've downloaded the latest iTunes.
4. Once you've reinstalled it go ahead and start iTunes and connect/plug your iPhone to your computer. iTunes should now be able to recognise your iPhone.
5. If it still does not work try unplugging your Iphone again, restart your computer and connect your Iphone once more. See it your computer recognises your device.
Steps 1-4 worked out real well for me so I hope it does for you too. If still a no no why not try and contact apple themselves they should be able to give help.
Got all this info with an Apple person. Cheers.

Since installing Leopard, my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes.

Since installing Leopard, my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes and cannot synch, my music, videos, address book, and calendar.

IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

Hi
My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Roland

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.

Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

TS1363 My ipod nano 5th generation is no longer recognized by itunes, and won't play any of it's music. It still shows it all listed, but freezes up if you select a song to play. Is there a way to restore it?

My ipod nano 5th generation will no longer play any of it's loaded songs. It still plays the video that is on it, and the radio works. It is not recognized by itunes and I have gone through all their help steps. Is there some other way to restore it?

If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My mac is no longer recognizing my phone and I can no longer manage my music. How can I change this? I cannot upload IOS 7 because I have too much music on my phone and not enough space, but I cannot delete music on my phone because my computer will not recognize my phone.

Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

Ipod touch 4g is not recognized on itunes,and will not sync

My iPod 4G will not sync when it is recognized in iTunes, and it will not play some songs that are already on the iPod, and it is not recognized on iTunes now either.

Hi,
You can update the itunes software and check, that should work.If not you can also try to reset the ipod.

TS1363 Our two iphones are no longer recognized on iTunes

Our two iphones are suddenly not being recognized on iTunes. In fact, when we go to "file", then "devices" and try to click on something under devices, it won't let us, i.e. nothing happens. Tried deleting iTunes and uploading again. Still didn't work. BEFORE we tried deleting itunes and downloading it again, I tried to go on itunes to sync my new upgraded iPhone 5c. No luck. Back before I upgraded from my 4s to the 5C (in January 2014) I had noticed that all my regular phone contacts had disappeared to be replaced by some of my facebook friends. It continued to still be that way up until yesterday, when I tried to sync my new phone to itunes. I ended up spending a VERY long time on live CHAT with Apple support. She suggested (after helping me for a LONG time) that I delete itunes from my desktop and download it again. She led me thru the steps to delete and download again. We knew that in the course of this help, we would lose our chat. After re-downloading itunes, I still couldn't find my iphone on itunes. Last night I requested a call from apple support. They called promptly and to make a long story short, he had me go thru the process of deleting my phone and then reloading my phone to the most recent sync, which was in January fo 2014, thinking that all my original phone contacts would be there, and everything would be fine. At the time, itunes appeared to be working (with this young man's help). I had one more backup listed on my itunes account from July 2013, so he said to try syncing my phone to THAT backup date. It didn't bring up an error code, but said it had "failed."
So off and on all day today, I have been plugging my phone in and trying to find it on iTunes. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Very frustrating. I am wondering if going in person to an Apple store would help me more, and if THEY would be able to get my old contacts back. BUT that still doesn't help with not being able to find our phones on itunes.
Any ideas?

I just bought the new iPhone 4, having previously used the iPhone 3G. The old 3G no longer has phone capabilities (of course), however, I was wondering if I could continue to sync it on iTunes to keep the applications and podcasts up to date? Will iTunes preclue me from syncing two iPhones? Will iTunes not reconginze my new iPhone 4 if I sync the old 3G? I want to make sure that I don't mess up the new iPhone 4 before trying this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm syncing two iPhone 4 units, an iPad, and an old iPhone 3G used as an iPod. All can be synced at the same time. You might need/want to rename the 3G if you kept the same name for your iPhone 4.
