  • ITunes WILL NOT detect my iPhone 4 - Tried everything I can think of!

    Hi everyone
    I am in desperate need of some help.
    I plugged my iPhone into my PC today and iTunes wouldn't detect it, no matter what I tried. All iTunes would do was freeze for 5 or so minutes and then return the error "iTunes cannot read the contents of this iPhone, please restore etc."
    I have come across this error before but have gotten around it by restarting iTunes or unplugging and replugging in the iPhone. This time I couldn't get past the error.
    So eventually I became frustrated with the fact and decided to restore my iPhone. BIG mistake as once it had restored it needed reactivation and iTunes still would not detect it no matter what I tried.
    So I took it to my brothers PC, had him install iTunes (the same version as me, the latest 64bit version) and it had no problem detecting and reactivating the iPhone.
    Then the problem became that I had my iPhone activated but my own iTunes would still not detect it so I've lost all my contacts/apps etc. without the possibility of restoring from the last backup.
    So my iPhone, in it's current state is if it was just activated, completely empty otherwise.
    Oddly enough, Windows has no issue detecting the iPhone with autorun popping up asking me to import photos etc. every time so this leads me to believe there's an underlying issue with iTunes which is weird as I have not changed my iTunes at all in the past week and had no issues syncing etc. a few days ago.
    THINGS I'VE TRIED:
    - Reinstalling iTunes (numerous times)
    - Using different versions of iTunes
    - The various different fixes found via Google
    - 6 different USB ports
    - 4 different USB cables
    THINGS I FOUND WEIRD:
    - Girlfriends 3GS doesn't get detected in iTunes either but Windows has no issue
    - The fact it detected on another PC
    Win7 Pro x64 and my rig is pretty high spec so I can't see there being an issue there.
    Let me know if there's anything you need to know.
    All suggestions welcome and appreciated.

    I've had this issue before as well. I think it has to do with 64bit Win 7. Most times I would connect my iPhone to it, it would automatically load iTunes, but it would just freeze and do nothing. I've since reinstalled my OS to 32bit and don't seem to have as many problems.
    You can try this... seemed to get it connected for me when I had issues. Not sure if this is how you attempted to fix it before, so I'll say it just in case.
    Plug iPhone in and let it load iTunes. When it freezes...
    Unplug phone, close iTunes. Open windows Services panel, and do the following in this order:
    Stop the "iPod Service"
    Stop the "Apple Mobile Device" service
    Wait a few seconds, then Start the "Apple Mobile Device" service. Leave the other service stopped.
    Plug in the iPhone. Hopefully works after this.

  • I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer.

    Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.

  • Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

    Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty.  The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

    my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

    If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
    To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
    1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
    2) swipe to power off
    3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
    4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
    If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
    If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • ITunes doesn't detect my iPhone

    Hi all,
      I've got the latest version of iTunes and an iPhone 4 running on iOS 5.1.1. And yes I don't want to update my iOS to 6.0.1 for obvious reasons.
    Everything was fine until yesterday. But since yesterday my iTunes wouldn't recognise my iPhone over wifi. Am able to connect it via a USB and sync but not over wifi.
      Tanx in advance.
    And yup am from India so wishing you all a happy Diwali

    Mahesh - the simple fact of your question regarding an external drive, helped me put 2 and 2 together. I have just started using a 2TB WD USB hard drive to maintain back up's. I had turned the external drive off for some time as I was having CPU cooling problems and the auto archiving SW put a real load on the CPU. During this time iTunes and iPhone worked fine. To ensure this was the root cause, I shut the system down, removed the USB connection to the external drive and made sure to turn off the auto back up SW once booted up again. Like magic, removing the external drive allowed iTunes to recognize the iPhone and i am back in business. Thanks for the hint, my problem is SOLVED!
