IPhone not seen by iTunes 10.1.1 after upgrading to 10.6.6 from 10.5.8

Never before had a problem with iTunes 10.1.1 seeing my iPhone.
Recently updated my 10.5.8 system to 10.6.6 by installing it over the 10.5.8 system. Everything went well until I discovered that iTunes 10.1.1 wouldn't recognize my iPhone when I connected it.
Phoneview, an app that allows transfers between the Mac and iPhone, said that I had a version 9 of iTunes and if I was already running 10.1, I should reinstall iTunes. I did and iTunes then recognized the iPhone.
Thought all was well, until just now when the iPhone was no longer recognized. I reinstalled iTunes 10.1.1 and all is well again.
I'm sure I'll end up having to do this over and over again unless I can figure out the root cause. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

you might want to try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.

  • IPhone not seen in iTunes after Windows XP reinstall

    Hi
    Can anybody please help me with this, I've tried googling the problem and checking the Apple support info but no luck.
    When I plugged my iphone 3GS in, iTunes doesn't see it. (Windows recognises the device.)
    This worked up until I reinstalled Windows XP (service pack 3) onto a new hard drive, and have installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25).
    I had copied all my data from my old XP installation onto the new hard drive, including my iTunes directory (iphone sync data - apps, music) , so I just pointed iTunes at the directory and it happily loaded all my apps. Note: Version of iTunes was from 2011 - not sure if it was same, I think it was 10-something.
    Note: iphone is NOT jailbroken
    Steps I have already taken:
    - run through all the steps at support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    - checked that my cable is ok (iphone charges and is recognised by Windows)
    - authorised my "new" computer.
    - tested my iphone - I went into a mac store and they plugged it in and it was picked up by itunes on their computer
    - disabled my virus protection while testing (AVG)
    - uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and rebooted my computer
    - confirmed Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) is installed, and restarted it
    Has anybody else seen something like this when reinstalling Windows?

    DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
    If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.

  • Why is my iPhone 4S dead, not showing in iTunes, won't charge after upgrading to 5.1.1???????!!!!!!!??

    After upgrading my iphone 4S to 5.1.1 I had a problem... woke up one morning and my phone was DEAD!  It was completely non responsive, not showing up in iTunes, not charging from my Mophie, or A/C or Mac.
    I wanted to post the fix that worked for me in case anyone else out there is having the same heart pulpitations I was this morning.  In the online communities Parisilia had posted a fix to do a hard reset  (Hold down the home button and power button simultaneously for several seconds, the phone will reboot and will then be recognized in iTunes and you can restore from backup).  This worked for me - PHEW!! Off the ledge...
    Once my phone rebooted it didn't actually need a restore because it hadn't 'reset' - everything was as it was the night before, although the battery had gone from 51% to 41%  Personally I'm shocked that it would drain 10% in one night and who knows how long it was 'dead' for after I put it to bed at 11:45pm????!!
    This is my second iPhone 4S since Oct 2011 - the first one had to be replaced because of something radically wrong with the battery capability.  After several very frustrating months of trying various fixes Apple finally took the phone back thinking it musta been a dud.  I've had this one for about 3 months and it's been much better battery-wise, but now the mysterious DOA event has me seriously worried that I have another dud.  Looking thru the communities there seem to be many more people experiencing the same issue, so hopefully it's software and can be fixed (APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING??) rather than me being up the creek again.
    Good luck to anyone else experiencing the same issue.

    Try
    1. Totally remove iTunes and QuickTime
    see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    2. then you will need to do a "deep clean" of registry
    by this I mean a registry search for itunes and delete any and every key you find
    *however if you do not know how to do this safely don't try it*
    unfortunately the registry cleaners do not clean to this level
    and itunes leaves considerable detritus in the registry which can screw up updates and or reinstalls
    Apple needs a cleaner similar to Norton's effort which has similar problems. Their tool removes ALL evidence of a previous anti virus installation which is what the above solution achieves in iTunes

  • Iphone not working on my Alpine car stereo after upgrade to 2.1

    Any ideas about the problem.
    Older ipod works fine.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    You have no idea how frustrated I was last night. I couldn't figure out what the heck the problem was, but I'm having the same exact problem as you. I'm going to try this fix and see if it works.

  • My iphone4 is not seen on itunes. When I plug the iphone the device does not recognize it but the pc recognizes it as a camera or something. What can I do?

    My Iphone is not seen on itunes when I plug it. I've tried everything that I found on the internet. but it still doesn't work, so I can't sync my iphone. What can I do? I have checked all the USB ports, I have desinstalled and installed again itunes, and I have run out of ideas.

    When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
    Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer?

  • HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

  • I am trying to sync iphone 5 to itunes but it says "iTunes could not connect to the iphone as an error occured while reading from the device " and the iphone is not seen on itunes........

    i am trying to sync iphone 5 to itunes but it says "iTunes could not connect to the iphone as an error occured while reading from the device " and the iphone is not seen on itunes........

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
    See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes any more

    iTunes 9.0.2 on a 2006 iMac 2GHz intel duo running OSX 10.5.8
    iPhone 3Gs 32 gig
    iPod (5th gen)
    3 external hard drives, all the iTunes library stored on a Mybook 1 TB Firewire drive plugged into iMac direct, not via a Firewire hub.
    I plugged my iPhone into the Mac this am, tried to sync the iPhone and got an error message saying that something was wrong with my iTunes.
    Mac then froze.
    Finally got the Mac back up after five attempts (eventually, had to unplug everything, including the mains to the iMac, plug in just the power, keyboard and mouse, press and hold power switch for 5 secs then plug in each extra drive when the Mac came back up).
    Found something seriously wrong with iTunes as it wouldn't open when clicked on (Force Quit reported app frozen).
    Deleted iTunes using AppZap then downloaded iTunes from Apple website.
    iTunes now back up on iMac but can't find any of the music files (even when I carefully repoint the iTunes to the correct location for the iTunes library by iTunes/Preferences/Advanced then Change iTunes Media Folder Location). Each entry in the iTunes library now has a black exclamation mark against it,
    Also, iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in.
    Also, when I plug in my iPod, get the error message "The iPod is synced with anotehr iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
    HELP!
    By the way, I have TIME MACHINE running to a separate and dedicated HD. Can I not just "roll back" my iMac in the same way I could do with a PC, say selecting the iMac when it was last working fine (yesterday evening)??
    Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an answer....
    Chris

    Rather than create another "iPhone not recognized by iTunes" thread, I'll add to this one. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB.
    After going through those steps you listed, my Windows XP installation always reverts back to the old Windows Apple iPhone drivers which only sees it as a camera. I've had it set to only pull from the iTunes drivers by specifying "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" in the Hardware Update Wizard. Windows still doesn't like the iTunes drivers stating "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". This location is the same as you noted: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" which contains:
    usbaapl.cat
    usbaapl.inf
    usbaapl.sys
    All dated 7/22/2008.
    My current drivers for the iPhone in my setup are still the MS drivers, version 5.1.2600.0.
    usbscan.sys
    ptpusb.dll
    ptpusd.dll
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Device not seen in itunes after data transfer

    I bought an original MacBookPro from my daughter & transferred all my data from PB G4 to MBP.
    Everything works just fine, except itunes does not see my ipod touch. I cannot figure out how to get it "recognized" as a device?
    Any suggestions?

    Hello.
    Try the following suggestions below
    1. Perform all Software Updates - Click on Apple logo in top left corner of the OS and choose Software Updates. It will scan the mac and then populate a list of software that needs updating including iTunes if there is any at all.
    2. Connect iPod Touch to another USB Port in the Macbook Pro, If it still does not show up, Disconnect the touch. Reboot the Mac, then reconnect the touch.
