Iphone 6 plus will not connect to itunes through my computer
Got the new Iphone 6 Plus and for some reason when I plug into computer (which should normally automatically start up iTunes) it does not!!! Can anyone help me in setting this up. I played around with it for some time, and it will opened up and I did manage to back up and sync the iphone 6+ & computer. But it will not do it again. I have the latest ITunes and have done a restart. Any help out there??? Thanks
There might be reasons to use both methods:
Use iCloud and iTunes Backup together
For an extra level of backup for your data, you can use iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup together.
Using iCloud Backup doesn't disable iTunes Backup completely; it just turns off Automatic Backups via iTunes. You can trigger a manual iTunes Backup whenever you want to create a new one.
If you're using iCloud and iTunes Backup together and you want to speed up your iCloud Backup and restore, you can save iCloud storage by turning off iCloud Backup for very large data types. For example, in iOS 8 with iCloud Photo Library beta turned off (or in an earlier version of iOS), if you have a 15 GB photo library on your iPhone, you might not wish to back it up to iCloud because it's already being manually backed up to iTunes.

is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?

My ipod touch 5th gen will not connect to itunes, but my computer registers my ipod. i have tried placing my ipod in recovery mode, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and restarted my laptop but my ipod will not connect to my itunes..... help ._.
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

Nothing should be lost.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Remote app on my iphone 5 will not connect to itunes
The remote app stopped working on my iphone 5 and will not connect to itunes. Home sharing is on on itunes and adding new library on my remote iphone app results in veryfying passcode results in the following message on itunes 'the pascode you have entered is incorrect'. I have the feeling that the library is already added but will not connect. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!
I had the same problem. Reinstalled everything and still nothing. Came across this article:

Quit and relaunch iTunes
Connect the iOS device to a different USB port on the computer
Reboot the iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Reboot the computer
Use a different syncing cable (if possible)
I changed my syncing cable and it worked! Try that if all else is failing. -
IPhone 5C will not connect to iTunes
I just purchased an iPhone 5C which will not connect to iTunes. It says that the Apple ID or Password is incorrect. My computer and iPad all connect to iTunes and am using the same on the 5C. Reset everything, new password. Powerbook and ipad all connect but 5C still does not, though it will connect to the Cloud. Anyone got any suggestions?
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. DONT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO A COMPUTER.
then connect your device -
IPhone 2G will not connect to iTunes
my friends iPone 2G is disabled and asked if I could unlock it which is normally not a problem but when I go thru the steps of unlocking the device it will not connect to iTunes, but my computer recognizes the device when plugged in. I am running the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7. I have even tried restarting the Apple mobile device service in Windows, tried restarting iTunes, and restarting Windows all together. Nothing I have tried works, I have searched online and all I can find is to make sure it is the latest version of iTunes which I have already installed on my computer, I am open to any suggestions to fix the problem
If the iPhone is disabled then you need to restore via recovery mode, follow the article below to do this:

TS1363 Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes
Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.
Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

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. -
I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer. Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger. I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates. -

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -
I have done upgrade to 8.1.2. Now iPad a iPhone will will not connect to iTunes, iCloud or do updates on apps.Shows message "unable to connect" or "error in connecting" as well as "unable to verify". How can this be sorted? Thanks
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
