Has anyone found a solution to the iPhone not connecting to iTunes problem yet?

Is there a solution? Or do we just have to wait for Apple to release another update?

Hi DanielHankey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Iphone not connecting to itunes on an imac

My iphone 4 got a little wet and a few things on it dont work but for the most part it works. However after I charged it this time it shows the connect to itunes image on the screen and when I do connect it to my imac and open itunes it wont see it. I cant turn my phone on past this screen now. Help!

An out of warranty replacement will cost you $149. I suggest you make an appointment at the Genius Bar.

IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!

I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
- I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
- Mac Pro early 2008
- Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
- iTunes 8
Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
What is going on??
I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?

// Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
Very happy to finally have found a solution.
If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
Good luck!

IPhone not found in iTunes for Mac. Tried all of Apple's suggestions. Discoverable on Wifi (partially) and recognized as camera.

I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 6 beta 1 installed. 2009 MacBook Pro with latest Lion and iTunes software available at the moment (22nd June 2012).
iTunes won't find the iPhone unless they're both on the same wifi (I have wifi sync enabled). Syncing doesn't work very well on wifi though. iPhoto/Aperture find the iPhone as a camera and import/delete photos from it fine. I've tried many combinations of ports/USB cables but none works. I've followed all of the suggestions Apple gives. None worked. I know that iOS 6 is beta software, but I still can't figure out why this would happen.
I was wondering if any of you guys had any similar problem.
I believe the problem is related to my computer.
There's no Apple Store near me and I don't have an APP for Express Lane support.

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!

App purchased on iPhone not syncing with iTunes on mac

I recently purchased an app on my iPhone and wanted to use home sharing to allow my daughters to play too but couldn't do that from the app store without buying it again. I thought if I synced with my computer it might work but this app won't sync either. It works on my phone. It shows up in the image but isn't listed under "apps". How to I fix it? (The app in question is Dwelp as shown in the image below.)

You should be able to copy from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
(The listbox on the left-hand side of the screenshot that you've included lists the apps that are in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library, and it allows you to select which apps that you want on your phone from that list - when you've done the Transfer Purchases that app should then be in the Apps part of your library and therefore show in that listbox.)

I have a 4s iPhone which I loaded the new Os on last night. Now I can not connect to iTunes. A message comes up saying i need 10.6.3 or later but I am running 10.6.1 as I have an older Mac. Anyone have ideas how to get this to work?

Its not telling you to update your iPad, its telling you you need to download a recent version itunes on your computer.
Go here to download the newest version of iTunes.

Hello wedge60,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
Restart your iOS device.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Try another USB cable.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT202778 Why is it that when I plug my iPhone into my computer and press "trust", it disconnects my phone and reconnects it, and still does not connect to iTunes??

When I plug in my iPhone, it connects and begins to charge, then asks me to "trust" the computer. When I select "trust", rather than connecting to iTunes, my phone gets disconnected and then it reconnects again and continues to charge but does not connect to iTunes... I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and I've also tried connecting my phone with different USB cables and connecting them into different USB ports... Still nothing is working.

That's how Apple set it up on the Mac.
There is a free application called iExplorer for Mac that allows you to view and copy files from your iPhone.
Hope this helps.
