Just received from Verizon.

Sorry, didn't notice that you were using OS X.  Here's the troubleshooting steps for a mac:

  • TS1538 My iphone is not being recognized by iTunes.

    The computer is "seeing" the phone, but nothing is coming up in iTunes.  I have a 2nd iphone that is being recognized.  I have another computer, rebooted, reinstalled, and tried holding the home button as I plugged in the usb cable.  I went to do a restore and ever since the phone says to connect to itunes and then is not seen by itunes.  Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Follow up...took it to the Apple store and they were able to get it to connect to iTunes...go figure!

    You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button.  Time to visit Apple.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

    I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here.  I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
    I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.  I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
    I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
    Thanks!

    In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
    In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    So give it a try.

  • Iphone 4 not being recognized with the extension cable

    My Iphone 4 is not being recognized with the Apple extension cable in my new Nissan Juke so the phone has to be kept in the glovebox due to the very short cable Nissan provides. This is frustrating since the phone gets noticeably worse reception in the glovebox. Does anyone know of a fix for this so I can run a longer cable extension and run the phone out of the glovebox? Mabye a different extension cable or longer cable that works with Nissan's set up?

    I don't think it is the cable. I have tried plugging the cable into the USB cable that came with the phone and the extension cable works fine with it. I guess this really is just some screwy stuff with Nissan.

  • IPhone 4S not being recognized by PC

    I tried updating the IOS 6.1 software directly from my iPhone 4s and it verified and promptly showed the connect the iTunes / USB cable screen and when i do connect it to iTunes, absolutley nothing happens. I've tried re-installing iTunes and restarting my PC many times but still nothing. Please Help!

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • My iphone 5 screen is black but touch works and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do?

    and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?

    Hello Dopeslayer242,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can  anyone help me out?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Skyburper,
    Thank you for your report.
    Congratulations for all your initiative, all of those steps were pefect to solve this issue. Well you can try another one ( unstalled and installing itunes on windows 7 ). Also you can try to change the usbs ports on your computer and the usb cable too. In case it do not solve your issue try another computer maybe there is a software on you computer that do not work with apple software.
    Thank you.
    Have a wonderful day .

  • IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

    The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
    I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
    I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
    All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
    So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
    Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
    I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
    Thanks for the help.
    I'll post my findings/results.

  • Please help - my iphone is not being recognized by itunes or iphoto.

    I recently had to have my hard drive replaced (by Apple under warranty). Ever since then, iphoto and itunes do not recognize my iphone. I had the same problem at my work computer today (a G4 tower running a lower version of OS X than I have at hoime), but the issue was resolved after I 'reset' my iphone (held down power button and main button, replugged in, etc.) No such luck at home after trying the reset/restart/reopen iphoto/itunes several times over.
    -I checked Image Capture to see if iphoto was set to the default photo software viewer; it is.
    -I updated my itunes software tonight. Didn't help.
    What else can I try??
    Please help, if possible...
