My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

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.
Hope this helps

ITunes not detecting iPod Touch

So I just got the 32GB iPod Touch today. 2nd Gen of course.
Already had iTunes in my PC before this. So as how it should go, I plugged the iTouch in, it started to sync my music. Okay so that was normal. Then it asked to update it's firmware to 2.2. And I said yes.
After updating it asked to install, but my songs were still syncing with the iTouch. I said yes to install the updates anyway. It started installing and suddenly my iTunes just crashed, saying some error and it couldn't install the latest firmware. Ever since then iTunes won't/can't detect my iTouch anymore but Windows can.
The driver installed is 'Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB Driver', is that the right one? That's about as far as it goes now. And when I turn on the iTouch it just shows that picture of the USB and an arrow to connect to iTunes.
Annoying enough, I've tried every single solution I could find on this forum. Even with the usbaapl.sys copy paste into inf folder, still doesn't work. Countless times reinstalling iTunes still doesn't work, reset the iTouch, still no hope. So if someone would please? I understand I'm not the only one going through this. I'm on a 64bit Vista, and YES I have iTunes 64bit version installed. I'm thinking if I should go to the Apple Shop to ask for help but I doubt they'd be of any service/knowledge of this. Really really frustrating. Please help, someone!?

Hello,
Why not? Apple staff their retail stores with 'Geniuses' for exactly this reason - all part of the Apple experience. You can reserve a booking online first:
http://www.apple.com/retail/
Alternatively have you tried working through some of the kbase articles. I would suggest that you totally remove all Apple software components and then re-install:

Given that your issue followed a firmware update you may well need to Restore the iPod too:

Itunes 10.5 does not detect my ipod touch

I recently update my itunes to 10.5 and when I connect my Ipod touch to my computer Ituens will not detected. My Ipod will show up on my computer but not on Itunes. Any ideas how can I fix this???
I try restaring my Ipod, REinstalling Itunes but nothing work.. HELP PLEASE!!!!

- Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file. It is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
- Directly download and install the iOS 5 using the information here:

Public thanks to user "Jeff Bryan" for post on itunes not detecting ipod

after several hours of going in circles on apple's ipod support page finding no answers i came across a post by jeff that at least made my ipod semi-functional again. my only question to apple is why do other ipod users have to provide product support? and why is the advice he gave more complete than apples own web page? i have never been a big fan of apples/macs but the ipod seemed like a neat gadget so i took a chance and got one for my girlfriend. it has been nothing but problems and is always in need of some upgrade, reset, or bizzare combination of pressing buttons just to keep it running. i later purchased 3 sansas for other members of my family and they have yet to have a problem. i guess this level of maintanance is ok if you like to spend all of your time tweaking your tech toys but is completely unacceptable for a casual user that just wants to listen to music. i dont think i will be buying any more apple products.
summary of problem:
ipod nano worked for while (needed a reset about every two months and locked up several times requiring reload of firmware)
one day itunes could not find ipod. no config changes were made to the host computer
ipod still showed up in windows as f: drive (usb mass storage device)
tried all troubleshooting tricks on page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
loaded itunes 7.0.2.16
ran diagnostics and got green light for ipod connection status but still not showing up in itunes
itunes will only find the ipod if i put it in disk mode according to jeffs advice in link below. once disconnected, i have to put it back in disk mode for itunes to find it again
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=720510&tstart=30
if anybody has any other advice on getting this thing to function properly, it would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, thanks for the thanks!! : )
Did you follow the advice in some of the other links, like changing the iPod's assigned drive letter, or disabling fast user switching?
When I was a Windows user, I did both these things and I also had disk use enabled permanently (you can do this via the summary screen) as I found it helped with connection issues. The only downside with this is that you must manually eject the iPod after use (even with auto sync selected).
"my only question to apple is why do other ipod users have to provide product support?"
As well as these forums there's a wealth of Apple articles, but it's knowing where to look. Every other manufacturer has support forums too.
With the number of knowledgeable people who post here, you're more likely to get a good answer here than anywhere else. As long as you avoid the one or two folks who post complete nonsense!!
Don't suppose the iPod is still under warranty?

Itunes 10.6.3 not detecting IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 after mac updated to OSX 10.6.3

Sorry about the crazy long title. I updated my Mac 2 nights ago to OSX 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) and now Itunes 10.6.3 is not detecting my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 when I plug it in. The phone still chirps when I plug it into the USB port. I can still get photos and video from the IPhone in IPhoto. How can I get my IPhone to sync with ITunes again? Any suggestions would be apprciated! Thanks!

Thank You! I just updated to OS X 10.6.8 and now my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 will sync with ITunes 10.6.3. . I must be lucky as I did not update my ITunes to 10.7. I'm not even sure how I would do that? Do I have to buy it? When I tell my ITunes to chck for updates it says there is no update. Thanks again varjak paw! :-)

ITunes and Windows will not recognize iPod Nano 3rd Generation

I've been on this ALL day. Neither Windows or iTunes will recognize iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.... I don't know how many times.
iPod is new. Was ok to sync music and photos last week.. but now nothing. Any ideas anybody... this is driving me nuts.
When plugging in iPod - it beeps and then right away says it is ok to disconnect and beeps again... and iPod goes on... and then charges up.
I was skeptical in buying an iPod for the kids... and now am disappointed. Please somebody... change my mind!!!!

I've been having a similar issue with my iPod. My iPod will not play songs. Basically, the song or podcast will appear on screen, but is stuck at 0:00 and will not play.
When I connected my iPod to my computer, it was not recognized by iTunes and it did not appear in My Computer. I checked the Windows Device Manager, and the device did appear there. Strangely enough, the device did appear in My Computer as a removable disk only after I closed out Device Manager. I'm wondering if I need to restore my iPod. How do I do so without iTunes?

ITunes not detecting iPod Touch 4G on Windows PC

When I connect my iPod to my PC. Windows detects my iPod but iTunes does not. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and the Drivers but it did not work.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Had to downgrade iTunes to version 10.1.2.17 for it to work

Windows Xp not detecting Ipod Need help

When i plug my ipod in to my desktop my ipod starts charging but it doesnt detect my ipod.I have even tried to do that restore thing where you hold menu/center button then when the apple logo appears hold center button/play or pause.I really really need help with getting my computer to detect my ipod.

Actually, the "vice-versa" part works, Macs can read and write Windows formatted iPods, but you can only manage music manually (syncing does not work until it it is restored for Mac). But back to the topic...
And it seems like this is a situation where the iPod has been working and now it does not. Please correct me if this assumption is wrong.
You have to eliminate the possible problems one by one, as many as possible. Starting at the computer... Note: These are separate things to try, not a single procedure.
Power down and restart the computer, if you have not already.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different docking cable, if possible. The connectors can become worn. Only two pins handle the power, so it is very possible for it to charge yet not connect for data.
The dock connector on the iPod may be worn out or have become faulty. Not much you can do about that, except have it replaced.
The "thing where you hold menu/center button" is not a restore. It is a reset (think rebooting your PC). Make sure you do it again following these instructions precisely.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If this does not help, put the iPod into disk mode, and then connect it to the computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If you manage to get iTunes to recognize the iPod, you may then want to do a restore (think reformatting your PC's hard drive and reinstalling Windows). This will erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then you can sync your iTunes library again.

Windows Not Detecting iPod

When I plug my ipod into my pc, itunes does not come up or detect the ipod is connected. However, when I try it on other computers it works just fine.
I am guessing its a problem with my computer. However the computer is fine, and can detect anything else put in the USB.
Any reccomendations?

My gut tells me this is your issue:

Itunes and computer will not recognize ipod

I am trying to connect and sync my ipod nano 7Gen and keep getting this message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have done all of theseand also gone through all of the support steps to resolve with nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hello Jenn,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano being recognized in iTunes. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps. I found an article with some additional steps you can take for the error message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
I recommend reviewing the following article (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation. Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled. I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

Itunes 11.1.5 not recognizing ipod classic 160gb

After updating itunes my ipod classic 160 gb is not recognized by itunes and now simply crashed... any help please?

Well, my 3rd gen and 4th gen iPods from 2003/2004 (as well as my 1st gen iPod shuffle) still work fine with the latest iTunes, so Apple not supporting older devices is nonsense. The owner DOES need to take care of them, so that they do not break.
If the iPod "crashed" and is not responding, the first thing to try is a Reset (restart)
