IPhone won't appear in iTunes

I have a Mac from 2008 version 10.5.8 and I did the software update for my iPhone 4. Now when I plug my iPhone into iTunes, it says my iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. I cannot download iTunes version 11.1 because my Mac does not support it because it requires version 10.6. Now I cannot plug my iPhone into iTunes. Please help!!

exact same thing has happened to me

bought a different cable
restarting my laptop

I've tried Googling for this error and no one else seems to have it.

Different cable? Checked in Device Manager to verify the proper driver is installed and also manually installed the driver?

Iphone will not appear in itunes at all

Recently, I partook in a method to finally get my iPhone 6 to appear in Windows Explorer so that I could import my photos on it to my laptop. When I did that, I set it to automatically open Windows to my phone's folder. But now, it won't appear in itunes anymore! I've restarted both my laptop and my iPhone several times, and uninstalled my iPhone from my laptop's Driver Manager and reinstalled it several times. I don't know what else to do! Can someone help please?

Nope, I tried several of those and they didn't work. I think the key behind my issue has to do with how my iphone now appears when listed as a driver. Instead of appearing where it should in the screenshots in the article you linked, it looks like this:
That does not look like how it appears in the article at all. I'm fairly certain I did something--heaven knows what--and it now appears like that. Worse yet, I can't seem to reverse what I did...I'm stuck! I don't know what to do!

My iphone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix it?

My iPhone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix this? Or what is the number of an actual person (no AI) that I can contact to help me?

Hi, Did you find a fix for this? I have the same issue, I've logged out of everything I can think of on my phone and logged back in again and it appears to accept the password. Yet when I try and update my apps it says that the password is incorrect! Ive reset my passwords both AOL and Apple. When I log on via a PC it accepts them, but when I try and buy / update something via the app store on my phone it says that the password is incorrect. Ive made sure that software levels are up to date etc.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Help - Apple TV won't appear in iTunes

Everything was working fine. Now it's not. My Apple TV (2.0.2) won't appear in iTunes (7.6.2) on my Macbook (10.5.3).
I can ping it. I can stream music through it (airtunes). Yes, iTunes is set to look for Apple TVs. No, no firewall is blocking anything. Mine is still listed there (in iTunes preferences) to sync with but it does not show up in the devices list.
Things I've tried:
- reset Apple TV
- cut power to Apple TV and reboot it
- reboot my Macbook
- reinstall iTunes
Things I've installed recently:
- Firefox 3.0 RC 3
- Safari 4.0 developer preview
- 1password beta
But I wouldn't think those would do anything.
Help!

OK, I got it to work. At first, I didn't understand your last question, because all that happens is a code is displayed on the screen. But then I realized that maybe when that happens it is then broadcasting itself, and sure enough it shows up in the devices list while the code is displayed.
I'm glad it's working now but I wonder what caused it to lose it's connection. Something happened to my Mac recently that has caused some things to behave oddly. I think I put it asleep, threw it in a bag and toted it around - but that it wasn't actually asleep the whole time. (Other symptoms I've seen are lost preferences, failure to sync events added on the iphone back to iCal, etc.)
Thanks for the help!

Since it told me to update, I updated to 10.7.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Iphone does not appear in itunes. _ALL_ recommended steps were taken to no avail

I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit, itunes 10.3.1. I have an iphone 3gs running ios v. 4.3.3. All software and drivers are up-to-date on my computer.
When I open itunes and plug in my iphone, itunes hangs for roughly two solid minutes. After which, my iphone does not appear in itunes. The same thing happens if I reverse the order and plug in my iphone before opening itunes.
I have read and followed all and I mean all the instructions in multiple articles on the apple support site to try and resolve the issue, and nothing has fixed the problem. My impression is that this is a bug in the latest itunes release since the problem started after updating to the latest version of itunes and did not occur previously. Nothing else changed with either my computer or my iphone since then. In all other ways, my computer, all USB devices connected to it, and all other software installed on it function perfectly.
Here are the things I have done that DO NOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM:
- restart apple mobile device service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart ipod service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart my computer
- reset my iphone
- verify that my USB drivers are up-to-date and all USB ports are functioning correctly
- verify that my iphone DOES correctly appear in windows explorer and the device manager
- verify that my security software (norton 360) is updated to the latest version
For the record I am not running any third-party phone software.
Here is the only thing I have found that works, however, it works ONLY for the first time I open itunes afterwards. After syncing ONE TIME, the next time I open itunes, the problem comes back exactly like before.
- completely uninstall, and then reinstall all apple software in precise accordance with instructions given on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
I honestly don't expect anyone to have a solution to this issue, but I will be thrilled if there is one. I am posting primarily to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, and hopefully to gain the attention of a developer who can hopefully institute a fix.

Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

Iphone 3G not appearing in Itunes after 4.1 update.

I'm having this problem with my Iphone 3G. I updated to 4.1 and i was going to sync all my apps and music when my iphone wouldn't appear in itunes. I've tried everything restarting my computer and everything i think it is that the ipod services and itunes helper are not running but when i try to turn them on they fail. can anyone help?

I'm having a similar problem. I was running the same update. Not only does I-Tunes fail to recognize my I-Phone, my I-Phone is not operable. It just displays the moving circular icon in the middle of a black screen, as if it's doing something. What a drag.

My G3 Won't appear on Itunes or Desktop. Think I've tried everything...

I have a MAC OS X Version 10.3.9
My generation 3 Ipod won't appear on ITunes or my MAC desktop.
I have tried all of the suggestions on the page everyone kindly directs me to (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950).
I have borrowed several cables to no effect.
I can't restore my Ipod ( because it won't communicate with my MAC)
I have a 100 GB external HD with firewall.
The last time my Ipod worked it was plugged into the external HD.
Should I buy a new cable with a USB plug?
Do I have dead "plug-ins" on my MAC?
Help...I need my daily podcasts for the hour-long commutes.
Thanks
iMAC Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have tries the cable on another Mac and my ipod did appear. So the problem lies with the Mac and not the iPod.
Will a USB connector help? What other things should I try. Help!
