I tried to restore my iPhone 4S and now it is not detected by iTunes

I recently got the 5s and was going to trade in my 4s to AT&T, so I decided to restore the phone before doing so. iOS 7 was downloaded by iTunes (I was still on 6) and installed on the phone before the restore process started. I walked away from my computer, so either in the process of updating or restoring, iTunes gave me an error message saying that my iPhone could not be restored for some reason (I don't remember the exact error message.) The phone was now in recovery mode (with the graphic of the USB plugging into iTunes) and could not be recognized by iTunes. I put the phone in DFU mode, but once again, the phone was still not recognized.
My computer recognizes that an apple device is being plugged and unplugged from the computer, but iTunes does not respond at all. Any tips?

Hello, ctom69.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things I could recommend. Make sure iTunes has been updated to the most current version and attempt to restore the device. Next try manually placing the device in recovery mode via the steps in the first article below. If neither of the steps work, try all of the steps in the attached second article.

Purchased music on iPhone 5, shows as purchased but not on phone (iTunes Match)

This has happened not just for a few songs but for a couple of albums and about 5 songs.
I buy some music on my iPhone 5 on iTunes, and here recently only a handful of my purchased music will not show up on my phone. They show in the iTunes store as "Purchased" but i can not download them again. I go to where my purchased music is in the iTunes Store and there are only certain songs that are there. I, within the past week, bought some music and it shows up. Something came up on my computer about 5 or so days ago and it said "Do you want to add this computer to iTunes Match?" and I obviously said yes. After that I noticed that it updated and a chunk of my purchased music had disappeared. I'm running purely on memory and my emailed receipts as to what songs are not showing up.
These are the songs that I have found are not on my phone or my iTunes:
Budapest - George Ezra
She Knows - Ne-Yo
Try Me - DeJ Loaf
BORNS - Candy EP
Rae Sremmurd - SremmLife (album)
and possibly more.
I just purchased the new Drake album that came out this week and so far so good (meaning that it hasn't disappeared yet).
I've tried
1. updating iTunes Match
2. signing out of iTunes and signing out on my iPhone
and
3. turning iTunes Match off then back on my iPhone
Is there anything else that I can do or do I need to contact Apple about this??

ITunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available.

I've turned my iPhone 4 into a iPod, meaning I only use it to hold music for my workouts. Ever since I've upgraded to Yosmite I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes anymore. I can back it up, but I can't sync. Each time it tells me "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available" I don't want to sync any photos, just music.
I've tried to repair my iPhoto Library, restarted my Mac, restarted my iPhone 4 but I still get his error message.
In iTunes when I select my iPhone 4 > Photos, I just get a spinning wheel.
Any thoughts??

I can't follow the first link since I just get a spinning wheel for photos.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

ITunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "iPhone" because your iPhoto Library is not yet available. Please try again later.

Ive been trying to sync my phone and it shows this:
iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone “iPhone” because your iPhoto Library is not yet available. Please try again later..............
When i connect my phone iPhotos comes up and shows my photos and i even tried syncing my photos to my laptop and even deleting them and this message keeps popping up. it just backs up then says downloading photos on iTunes then that error message comes out.

Same thing on iOS 8.1.2, on my iPad and iPhone. Unlikely to be the devices ....

Use this to backup your contacts,
https://itunes.apple.com/gr/app/my-contacts-backup/id446784593?mt=8
Then you will be safe to sync with Outlook. Remember that: Don't sync your iPhone contacts with an empty Outlook address book. If your Outlook address book is empty create a fake contact before you sync.

I want to stop my iPhone syncing with iPhoto

I want to stop my iPhone syncing with iPhoto.
I find the business of syncing my low-res phone pics with my Mac pointless and time-consuming. I notice that even if you do sync-up - then, unplug phone from Mac and re-plug - it will ask do you want to sync up 22 pics - yes - Hey i can see these are all duplicates shall I not bother it says....
OR if you dont sync-up at the above - it means you always have to wait for iPhoto to open up and thats annoying too.
I have unchecked the 'sync with iphoto' option in itunes tabs. But this does not stop the phone from attempting the iphoto sync-up.
Why you no risson? I say..
Anyone else had this problem greatful for any fix. Thanks.

The selection under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences is for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
When your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone (stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll), or any photos saved from an email or from a website on your iPhone which are also stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll, you iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. If you want to import these photos to your computer, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
To prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when you iPhone includes photos in the Camera Roll when your iPhone is connected, depending on the iPhoto version you are using, this is done with iPhoto preferences. If your iPhoto version doesn't include this preference setting, you can accompish the same with the Image Capture application - Image Capture preferences. At automatically open with, select No Application.

Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"

When syncing iPhone 5s to iMac running Yosemite and get the following error:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "iPhone" because your iPhoto library is not yet available. Please try again later."
This phone has been syncing with iPhoto for some time now. This is a new one to me.
Tried rebooting the phone and the desktop machine, same result.
Interestingly, in iTunes when selecting the "photos" page all I get is the spinning circle for the iPhone, the other selections, Summary, Apps, etc., all load fine.
The same situation is true for the iPad mini, the photo page never loads. I have not attempted to sync the iPad since this error appeared.
Anyone familiar with this error?
This mac has had the "iPod" cache folder deleted in past months to clear another sync error, but had been syncing fine since then.
iTunes version 12.1.050
Thanks!

@CookieDuster
We going to run a test and see if if this solution works. Lets try
On your super cool imac:
go to system preferences>users & group>create a new account and name it test (make sure you set it as an admin account)
get an external hd and plug it in
next go to finder>pictures>and copy iphoto library that is located there and put in the external hd
now log into the test account
transfer the iphoto library from external to pictures folder. if you see the same file there, do not worry you are just overwriting it.
once that complete, I would like for you to test your iphone and see if it syncs over.
Thanks!

Hello CathyRox,
Yes you can sync them to another computer or to the same one, but since it will effectively be a new iTunes library, you will be prompted to transfer purchases or erase and sync. You can transfer your purchases to get the content back on your computer, and this article will help with that.

As far as your calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, if you you are not already using icloud, I would sign into iCloud and sync that content to the Cloud so no data is lost.
