Hello 19Brenda94
Start with removing iTunes in the order of the first article states, which is iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). Once that is done, then download iTunes 64 bit version from the second link below and run that installer.

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging. How can I get Itunes to recognize my devices (that have always been recognized until this latest software update)?

Iphone not showing up in itunes but it is showing up as a device on my computer

Before when I plugged my iphone 4S into my computer it said it had a problem with the device's hardware and wouldn't show up in my itunes. Now it has gone away after I updated my computer and it is still not showing up in my itunes. I have looked at the Device tab and Music tab. It is not showing up. Oddly it will not charge either. Is there something that I need to update with my phone? I did the third party check from itunes and it did not work.

I describe how you fix it here

Iphone not being recognised by itunes, but being recognised as camera.

I've updated everything, restarted my computer, restarted in services... it's being recognised as a camera folder, but not coming up in itunes. I need to download some apps using my computer, as my iphone has changed it's app store to China, but itunes has kept it as England, which means I cannot download apps without itunes.

I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

Iphone Not detected by desktop/itunes/tethering/cameraroll

My iphone is not detected when connected by usb to mac desktop.
I have tried everything in both of the following support pages:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
but i have found a work around. The following solves the problem, until the next reboot.
in terminal..
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/
touch /System/Library/Extensions
... then the desktop/itunes etc. detects the iphone. Once i reboot, however, i have to repair the extension permissions again.
notable point: i can also get the iphone to detect if i remove/reinstall AppleMobileDevice.kext... and repair the permissions.
I've tried repairing the entire disk's permissions... reboot ok, but not detecting iphone... repair permissions on AppleMobileDevice.kext=>detecting, reboot... NOT DETECTING! Also noteworthy... if i do the 'workaround' i can logout and login and the iphone is still detected... only on reboot does it become undetectable again. I have done all the basics... swap cables=>no difference... try other pc/mac=>detectable... completed the troubleshooting on the above support pages.
SO... it's obvious that the permissions on AppleMobileDevice.kext get changed/corrupted upon logout/reboot.
please help!

Ipod does not respond to computer/Itunes, but reboots constantly.

I have been using the same Ipod since 2/14/2006 (Black 30GB-5th Generation). Never had any problems with it at all.
About 4 days ago, I updated to the latest version of Itunes (Ver 7.6.2.9.) and I have been having problems with my Ipod ever since. Everytime I connect my Ipod to the dock/computer to sync, it turns off by itself immediately and keeps rebooting over and over by itself when connected. My Ipod is not able to establish a connection with my computer or Itunes.
I have read other recent threads in regards to similar issues, namely "low battery" or a sad Ipod face, but I haven't had either appear on my Ipod yet. I have put Ipod in Disk mode and plugged it in with a full battery to no success, I have rebooted OVER 50 times in the past 48 hours. The battery is well charged and has not given me any issues, I changed the battery on the Ipod 2 months ago, but it never affected anything. I am able to charge the Ipod fully with my standard AC Charger. At first I thought it was that my computer was not giving enough power to my Ipod, but according to the other posts I read, that is not the case.
In addition, If by chance not enough power is the problem, how can I put more power in my Ipod when it is plugged into the USB port? Why did it change all of a sudden? Most dual AC Power Adaptor USB ports for Ipod have a firewire prong, but I do not have a firewire outlet in my computer to plug in. Can I connect the computer to AC power adaptor and then to Ipod docking station?
I have tried connecting Ipod to another USB port, no success either.
Help! Troubleshooting this on my own has taken its toll. I tried everything!

When i said reboot, I meant "restarts my Ipod".
I tried installing driver to no success. What could be wrong? My Ipod just doesn't communicate with my computer since the latest Itunes was installed.

My iPhone 5 wont synch with iTunes, but it´s charging

When i connect my iPhone to iTunes it starts charging, but iTunes does not find it. I also have a iPad and iTunes find it, so what is the problem?

Did you try to connect the phone in recovery mode, explained in this article?

i have an ipod touch and i dont have the password and its disabled i connected it to itunes but its still not going anywere or doing anything i tunes is not showing the ipod so what can i do to get the ipod from being disabled and to rest my password for the ipod

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have restored my iphone 5 but its still asking for a passcode

Hi
My iphone 5 kept telling me to enter my passcode after phone has been restarted.
1. I didn't restart the phone
2. Ive never had a passcode on it.
I have done a system restore on iTunes but its still asking for a passcode
Any one else had this problem and solved it successfully?
cheers

See this article: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support even though you say you have never had a passcode on it, you will have to follow these steps.

Iphone 4 is not detected by computer and itunes but it is charging

Iphone 4 (IOS 7) is not detected by computer and itunes.
I am the 2nd owner of this iPhone 4. I did all the troubleshooting said in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but nothing resolved it.
Troubleshooting I did:
1. Used other iphone / ipod devices, it worked but not my iphone 4.
2. Used different Windows OS and different computer, Win7 & Win8, still not detected.
3. Used different USB cables, still not detected. But my current USB cable is working with other iPhone/iPod devices.
3. Uninstall / Install iTunes, still not detected.
4. There is no "X" in the device Manager, and also, portable devices is not showing upon plugging in the device.
5. Made sure that the Apple Mobile Service is running.
6. I only have iPhone devices, so I don't have any 3rd party Software conflicts.
Please help me. Thanks!

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

Voice Memos shows in computer iTunes but not on iphone

Now, I have iphone 5, OS 8.1 (Powerbook Pro OS 10.6.8).
Earlier OS, I used to be able to enjoyed and managed the Voice Memos from iPhone to the computer iTunes Playlists, then selected and dragged it to a new playlist. Once I synced the new playlist back to the iphone, I could play it back repeatedly under Music on the iphone. (if play under the Voice Memos on iphone as you know it won't repeat and stops all tasks).
Now, even though the new playlist with the voice memos shows in the computer iTunes, but once I sync it to the iphone the new playlist with the voice memos will no longer show on the iphone. (again, the reason I do so, because, if played under the Voice Memos it won't auto repeat and stops all tasks).
Suggestions Please.
Thank you!
Note: I tried to converted the Kind from ACC to MP3 or MPEG.
I tried to drop the Voice Memos item to the old PlayLists( songs), once it synced to the iphone the playlist will show with songs in it but not the voice memos item.

Haa..
Instead of converted the Kind from ACC to MP3, just changed the media kind from voice memo to music.
It works again now! It took me 6 months to get to this point.
Happy journey!
