IPhone and iPad not recogized by iTunes 10.5

After upgrading my iphone to iOS5, my iTunes does not recognize my iPad or iPhone (no device pops up on left side of screen when plugged in) -- this has never been a problem before.

So, an update... I was able to fix my iTunes & connect my iPhone & iPad to it. All it took is a hard drive reformatting & re installation of Wondows 8. Good one, Apple! Thanks for the new iTunes release!

TS1538 iPhone and iPad not recognized by iTunes 11.1

After an update to 11.1 iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone and iPad. I tried everything I could find on Apple site and generated by a Google search. I tried reinstalling iTunes, restarting Mobile Device Service, uninstalling all the components - restarting and reinstalling itunes. After I uninstalled itunes and all of its components it would not install again. I finally restored my Windows to a oint when I had a previous version of itunes, library wouldnt load because it was already updated to a newer version itunes library, so I deleted it and itunes started - but, of cours, it would not read my iphone or ipad because I already had ios 7 installed. So, I tried updating to new version - couldn't update it. I don't even get any error numbers I could go off - the instlallation just rolls back and tells me that it could not be completed because of an error! What error - I have no idea. Oh, but at least this old version of itunes recognizes that I have an iphone or ipad connected! And I can open photos folder, just can't sync anything to my devices. So, I uninstall alllll of the components of itunes again - every single one of them, delete all contents of temp folder, make sure I have no trace of itunes or apple-anything on my computer, restart it and try to install itunes again - nothing, same thng - starts installing, then at one point all of the progress rolls back and says there was an error installing it. So, I make sure I have no apple and itunes programs left on my laptop, clear temp folder again, restart and restore my laptop. Install itunes, yahoo - it installs! My entire (HUGE) library of music and audiobooks - gone, BUT at least it installed itunes 11.1. SO I connect my iphone and... NOTHING! Went to device manager again - tried updating driver from a foler - error, tried scanning for changed - nothin happened, tried restarting Mobile Device Service - error, cannot restart it. Checked in control panel & I couldn't even see it in the uninstall programs, but I see it in administrative services... So I am lost, I literally tried everything I could think of myself, everything I read on apple support site and everything I found on Google.... And I know for a fact that it's the new version of the itunes, coz previous one works and I would be fine with it and keep it, if it would only read my iphone! Oh, by the way - I have no third party devices installed besides the iphone and ipad. And my WIndows updates are allll the way up to date! This issue started when I updated my itunes after the release of the ios 7.
What do I do now? Get rid of the stupid iphone and ipad??? What's the point of having them if I can't even sync my music to them!!! So upset with Apple! If I could only use their product like any android or windows phone - go to my computer, open the device and put the folders in it! But they will never give this much power to us!
Does anyone has any new ideas on what I could do to resolve this issue?
Thank you!
PS: my husband has same problem with his iphone and ipad... on his desktop computer... So obviously - i'm not alone!

IPhone and iPad not visible in iTunes--but i can still sync...

So, I was having trouble connecting my iPhone 5 via USB to my Windows 8 PC and iTunes 11.
I tried stopping and restarting the Apple mobile service. I also deleted the Generic USB hubs and restarted the PC.
Just for kicks, I unchecked the box that prevented automatic syncing.
Now, iTunes is syncing both the iPhone (connected via USB) and the iPad (via Wifi)--but I just can't see them on my PC.
Suggestions? I'm a little reluctant to uninstalled and reinstall iTunes--I keep my iTunes library on an external and I seem to recall creating duplicate entries for every song last time I tried that...
Thanks in advance...

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

Iphone and iPad not appearing in Image Capture

Hi
Since upgrading my iPhones and iPads to 8.1.1 I no longer see them in the Image Capture program.
I liked this program for mass deleting bad photos.

Why is spotlight search on my iPhone and iPad not find any apps?

Spotlight search has been unable to find applications on my iPhone and iPad (6 and Air, both running 8.1.2) since December. I try to search for a banking app, for example, and it suggests "It came upon a midnight clear" from my iTunes library. If I search for iPages, spotlight suggests a nice opera. or an email from a time-sharing promotional email. What is going on? I thought this might have been me, but it is clear now this is a bug and is extremely annoying. It would be really helpful if someone would fix this. I have tried all the obvious work-arounds, which might (or might not) make the problem disappear for a while, it always comes back.

Perhaps you are spelling the name of the apps wrong. Try pages or the name of your banking app.

IPhone and IPad not handing over on AP's

We have just installed a new Enterasys wireless network but all Iphones and Ipad will not handover on AP's, you can see the device disconnecting but will not connect to the next AP, it waits about 7 seconds then reconnects. We have tried different levels of software on Iphones and Ipads and have worked out pre 7.0.1 works fine on both devices but any level above this fails. I have spent the day trying to see if anyone has had the same problem but no luck.
The EAP type the radius server is using is PEAP and is working fine on Windows tablets and phones.
If anyone can tell me what the difference is in software on Iphone and Ipad I would be really greatful.
Please let me know if you need any extra info.

Mountain Lion Messages and other iPhone and iPads not connecting

Just downloaded Mountain Lion and have been trying to connect with the family on their iPhones and iPads. On the messaging page, it shows that they are offline, but when I check their phones, it looks like everything is ok.
Also tried to connect via iChat and it would start the process and ring and pop up but when you tried to connect, it would totally disconnect.
I dont know why their devices are showing off line and not receiving messages notes that I am sending

IPhone and IPad not synching

Contacts on iPhone and iPad not connecting to iCloud

Just set up iCloud today to sync Contacts between MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. Initial setup worked ok. Now, MacBooks is working OK, but iPhone and iPad cannot connect to server. Open Contacts app and icon on status bar at top of screen just spins (for hours). Have tried to disable Contacts sync on iPhone, but but same behavior. Have tried to delete iCloud account on iPad...same. Have rebooted both devices...same. Any suggestions?

iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts. If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too. If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
