IPhone update to ios 8.0.2, now iTunes can't find my phone

Updated iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2; now iTunes tells me it can't "find" my phone, so I can't sync.  I am not using iCloud, which appears to be a problem..?

Hey mfrouns,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes when connected to your computer. To troubleshoot this issue, see the relevant article for your operating system:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Thanks,

  • Safari stops working.  Mail won't work with Safari running.  Now iTunes can't find my phone.  If I restart and do one thing at a time it helps but still not reliable.  All software on my iMac is up to date.

    I have a new iMac and iPhone 4.0.  All software is up to date and I have installed the free beta version of Mountain Lion which let me use iChat on my computer.  Safari intermittently stops working.  Mail won't access my mailboxes if Safari is running.  Now iTunes won't find my iPhone when it's locked and in a dock charging.  If I restart I can do 1 thing at a time, but I can't have Safari running and use Mail.  I've emptied my cache, checked my passwords.  It's none of that.  By process of elimination, there is some kind of conflict between using multiple applications on the Internet at the same time.  Sometimes after I've gone to several Internet sites Safari will stop working properly even though all other applications have been "quit".

    Oops. You installed the beta Mountain Lion on your main hard disk? Usually most people install it on a secondary or external hard drive. Your situation should actually be posted on the Developer web site for Moutnain Lion and not here. All I can suggest here is to run repair permissions and restart. Sorry.

    Hi ka_tin,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If the largeness you are seeing is related to the Accessability Zoom function (a feature that allows you to zoom in on the screen for people with vision issues), you may find the following page helpful:

  • Help! I've just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.2 and I can't find the LTE switch only the 3G one.

    Help! I've just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.2 and I can't find the LTE switch only the 3G one.
    Settings > General > Cellular *I know that the LTE switch should replace the 3G one 'cause my mom has it
    I updated it from iOS 6.0.2 I think so I skipped 6.1. Is this a possible reason (tho I doubt it)?
    is there any way to fix this?
    thank you in advance!

    Are you using an LTE enabled SIM? What carrier are you using?

  • Updated music files on my hard drive and now itunes can't find path.

    I updated my music files on my hard drive and now iTunes can't find the path. too many to manually do. can itunes refresh or should i delete all itunes music files and re-import?

    Once a track is in your iTunes library, you should not touch it except through iTunes. But I guess you know that now.
    iTunes, to answer your question, cannot "refresh." If you re-add those files to your library, iTunes is unable to match them with the existing library entries, and will create a bunch of duplicate entries. This is a longstanding shortcoming of iTunes (and the source of lots of traffic on this fourm).
    If there are "too many to manually" reassociate, then starting over, in the sense of deleting and then re-adding, may be a good plan.

  • Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

    Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
    I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
    Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

  • I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

    Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

    For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

  • I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

  • Bought new HD and now iTunes can't find my music

    I just bought a new FW HD, WD My Passport. I copied all of my music from my old USB 2.0 HD to the new one and now iTunes can't find all the songs. It'll play probably 40 or 50 songs but the rest of them show the "!" next to the song name. Right now the only thing I can do to show iTunes where the songs are without having to rebuild my playlists is to manually point it to each individual song but since but that would mean pointing it to over 14,000 songs......... I DID go in to the preferences and changed the folder location to the new HD and it still won't find the files. But strangely enough, when I have the old HD plugged in, as well as the new one, it'll play everything just fine, checking the preferences shows that iTunes is pointed to the new folder but "Get Info" on individual tracks shows iTunes finding the file in the old HD, unplug old HD and files cannot be found. Why doesn't the **** program look where I want it to and what do I have to do to fix it? I know my description here isn't crystal clear so I'll gladly answer any question to help clear it up a little. ANY help is very much appreciated as I do not want to spend the next 3 weeks teaching iTunes one song at a time. Thank you.

  • My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone

    My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?

    Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
    I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that?  mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
    Thank you very much

  • Tryed to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now itunes can not see my phone

    tried to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now iTunes can not see my phone

    Hi kjpservices,
    So it sounds as if your iPhone does not appear in iTune after a failed update to iOS, is that right? In order to get it back into iTunes you will want to use one of these articles, depending on what kind of computer you have -
    For a Windows PC, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are using a Mac, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Once you get ths iPhone back into iTunes, try the update again. If it fails, post back and we can continue troubleshooting from there.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L
