IPhone not appearing in iTunes after 3.1 update

Hi everyone....I went to update to the 3.1 OS for my iPhone 3G but during the update it got stuck at the "connect to iTunes". I have uninstalled iTunes and AMD services multiple times. I managed to restore the phone but after the restore it doesn't appear in iTunes and the screen is now stuck at "emergency call" now and "connect to iTunes" and can not restore my back up data. My computer doesn't seem to recognize my phone at all but does recognize my iPod touch. If anyone has any sugestions on how to get it to work I would appreciate it because I really need to get my phone working properly.

I'm having a similar problem. I was running the same update. Not only does I-Tunes fail to recognize my I-Phone, my I-Phone is not operable. It just displays the moving circular icon in the middle of a black screen, as if it's doing something. What a drag.

  • IPhone not appearing on iTunes after IOS 5 update

    After installing IOS 5 iTunes update the computer asked to re-start my PC.  I beleive that my connected iPhone 3GS was still updating so, when the computer re-started, the update to the phone terminated.  After re-booting iTunes has been updated but my iPhone just has the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo on it.  Nothing I now do makes the iPhone appear on the iTunes directory.  I have successfully installed the new firmware onto another iPhone 3GS but the original phone is unresponsive.  Anyone know how to install the software onto the phone when it doesn't appear on the iTunes directory?

    i have the same problem. although my mac didnt ask for restart, installation stopped half way through the updating, and it comes up with unknown error 1 , once ive managed to exit recovery mode( the usb and itunes logo) apple logo appears, and then its loading and THEN ITS TURNING ITSELF OFF and ON - > after that apple apears - loading... and yeah goes in circles.
    I've tried to restore previous copy but itunes wont let me do it anymore, it comes up with an error.
    I've edited hosts, and it's still not working.
    ... any ideas anyone?

  • Iphone 3G not appearing in Itunes after 4.1 update.

    I'm having this problem with my Iphone 3G. I updated to 4.1 and i was going to sync all my apps and music when my iphone wouldn't appear in itunes. I've tried everything restarting my computer and everything i think it is that the ipod services and itunes helper are not running but when i try to turn them on they fail. can anyone help?

  • IPad/iPhone Not Appearing in iTunes After Updating iOS from 8.0 to 8.1.1

    After updating my iPad and iPhone from iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.1, neither device will show up any longer in iTunes. After the update completed, I received the following error message in a pop-up window:
    "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. An unknown error occurred (0xE800001F)."
    I've restarted both devices and my computer and have the most up-to-date version of iTunes installed. I'm on a Windows 8 PC.
    Any suggestions?

  • TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

    iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

    Mike:
    Just had the very same problem.  iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1).  I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere.  Didn't work.  What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes.  Once it restarted it was there and synching.  I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
    Try this.  May work for you as well.

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes after update

    I recently downloaded & installed the latest update for iTunes and it actually removed iTunes and put and extra (& useless) shortcut for quicktime in my desktop. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes and quicktime with nor problem. I hooked up the iPhone and downlaoded the latest update for it as well and it crashed during the installation of it. I have since had to reboot on my roomates pc and it will not be come up in iTunes. My computer still recognizes it though. I have gone through all the steps in apples site and microsoft and have no clue what to do now. I use this thing all day every day and need the music and video capablities for "work" purposes. If anyone can help, thanks.

    Symptoms:
    iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however an iPod will.
    The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else.
    Problem:
    The Apple iPhone Driver has been replaced by a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes.
    SOLUTION:
    From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

  • Music does not appear in iTunes after consolidation and xfer to E drive

    I followed the instructions listed on the web site for xfer of the music to an external hard drive. After I did the consolidate portion, the music did not show/appear in the e drive folder created for the music. The music does not show in iTunes now. I have not deleted anything since I can't see music in the e drive folder.
    I am currently copying the music from the older folder to the newer folder to see if this helps.
    Where does the consolidated music go?
    Can it be shown in iTunes at all now that it has been consolidated?
    Will pod sync now since music does not appear in iTunes?
    Any help or information would really be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Rather than move individual files you might want to move the whole collection:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Iphone not appearing in itunes on wifi

    After updating to 11 my 3gs does not appear in Itunes as it used to when both it and the laptop are on the same wifi network .  It will sync when attached by a cable but not otherwise.  I have restarted both but no luck.  Did I miss something?

    Tim - were you able to get this resolved?  I have had this same issue.  Usually a full reboot helps but I have also been able to close down iTunes, open Activity monitor and kill the usbmux process and iTunesHelper process.  Then open up iTunes again.
    I think, and this is only my opinion, that when iTunes is open and you close the lid (put it to sleep) the usbmux that it uses to sync over wifi gets funny when it wakes back up.
    Good luck!
