i think your best bet is to uninstall itunes 9 & go back to whatever itunes you opened your phone with in the first place,& stick with that & also do a reset on your phone, ive heard so many problems with itunes9 that i'stick to itunes8,even though i keep getting messages to upgrade to 9. good luck.

HT4623 iPhone not recognized by computer or iTunes

I attempted to update my iPhone 5 to the newest version using iTunes on my computer, and my iPhone is now in recovery mode, and is not recognized by either my computer or iTunes. From the research that I have done, it appears to be a driver issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, attempting to manually search for the driver (which I located on my computer, but the computer would not recognize), and searching for the driver online ("access denied" response message appears), I am at a loss as to what to do. Can anyone help?

I retried the steps listed in HT1808; iTunes didn't open, and my computer replayed the "failed" connection tone. Is there a way to get around the "access denied" message that comes when I try to update the connection driver for the phone? When I attempt to find the driver online, I recieve that message, and when I attempt to search out the driver manually, I receive a message saying that the driver can't be found (while I have already located it through the regular file explorer.

IPhone not recognized by computer or itunes.

Hey everyone!
I troubleshooted my way trying to fix this problem but it's still not going away! I was sleeping and I woke up to find that my phone was syncing to itunes anymore. It didn't fall from a table or something, it just ceased to sync. When I plug it I can charge it, but it isn't showing on my computer. I tried using another computer (a pc this time) and still to no result. On the pc I finished all the steps till I reached 3rd party issues, I knew this doesn't apply to me because its not working on any computer i use. I think it's a hardware issue, Am i right in this assumption?

have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...

My iphone 4s is stuck on connect to itunes, is not recognized by computer or itunes

my iphone is stuck on the "connect to itunes" loading screen, and when it's plugged into my computer, itunes and the computer are not able to recognize it. when it is plugged in, it gets a "USB device not recognized" and in device manager, it shows up as an "unknown device". I have read and tried everything in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, as well as uninstalling and re-installing itunes and all it's components several times, but nothing has helped. Please help!!!

The iPhone has gone into recovery mode and you have to restore by connecting to a computer with iTunes and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If you do not have a computer with iTunes, a friend with a computer with iTunes, can you get to an Apple store genius bar and see if the techs will restore for you?

Ipod not recognized in windos and itunes after udating software

My ipod was working just fine. But then itunes said that my ipod software was not updated so I went ahead and updated, after that is not recognized in windows and itunes.it does not even turn on, when i press a button in the screen apears a electric plug, like if it was saying connect to charge. but the only thing that happens when i plug it to the computer is that the same plug apears again in the screen.
thank you for your help

If your iPod is showing a picture that looks like the wall plug, then it does need to be connected to the USB wall charger. Sometimes other devices that will charge the iPod (such as a car charger or a docking station) will do the trick.
If you're near any Apple retail stores you could take your iPod there and see if they have one they can connect your iPod to for you, and then you'll have it up and running again.

HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1. My wife's iphone 5 had no issues. I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports. Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone. Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device". Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side. My wife's works both ways. I can't explain it, but there it is. I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

I installed a ipod shuffle, named it differently, now my ipod classic is not recognized by computer or itunes. How do i fix?

I installed an ipod shuffle with different name. Now my ipod classic is no longer recognized by computer or itunes. It appears that Itunes decided that I had replaced the classic with a shuffle. Classic battery doesnt seem to want to charge, and cannot restore.

Hello obks1984
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPod shuffle not showing up in iTunes. Also make sure that you have the cable plugged in completely to your iPod Shuffle and not just slightly pushed in.

Hello Amber,
I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes. I found a couple of articles that might help with this.
If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer or Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

TS1369 ipod touch not recognized by computer or itunes

My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Also, if you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Problems with shuffle gen. 2 not recognized by computer or itunes

Hello to all who may help me solve my problem.
I received a Gen. 2 Shuffle with 1GB several years ago, and used it over that time. It has lasted longer than 2 laptops and I hate to throw it away if it isn't fixed or the problem isn't solved soon.
I received a Win. 8 laptop as a gift two years ago, and now my laptop is not recognizing the shuffle. The laptop is an ASUS model.
Besides receiving the message "This device is not recognized by the computer," I researched and installed and uninstalled iTunes following all instructions I could find online. I have iTunes 11.3.
My biggest concern is the message I have after studying "hardware ids" in the device. It reads "USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE". I have uninstalled all USB root hubs and rebooted several times.
It works fine on my sister's computer.
What steps would I take to fix it?
Thanks for any help.

I'm having the same problem (except this isn't a new shuffle).
How do I "restart" an iPod shuffle? I have it plugged into my MacBook Air via its dock but it's not recognized in iTunes. iTunes does recognize my iPad (under Devices). Yesterday the MBA recognized both devices. I tried it also on iTunes on my Mini but no go there either.
I've rebooted both machines. No go.
