Itunes 10.5 and 11 cant identify my iphone 4s

i dont know what happened. my 4s was charging via usb in my computer. itunes usually starts up when my pc identifies my 4s. this time, my 4s was charging but itunes didnt start so i unplugged my 4s and plugged again. nothing happened. i updated itunes to 11 but i get the same problem. i uninstalled itunes 11 and reinstalled 10.5 still nothing happened. is my last resort to format my pc and reinstall itunes or is there another war?

Hello childeshiro,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not recognized in iTunes. I recommend following the steps in this article to troubleshoot this issue:

Dont know my icloud password and cant reset my iphone. Help!

I got a new iphone 6 today and took it back home to sync it with my laptop. Unfortunately it synced with an old email account that I dont use anymore and also when my iphone had a restrictions passcode on it. I know how to reset the iphone using itunes but I can't do that becuase I dont know the icloud password. I need the icloud password because I cant reset the iphone until find my iphone is off. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

You will need to do the following:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your current Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Sign into your iCloud account on your new device using the current password, and turn off Find My iPhone. Check to make sure that iCloud is not also signed on under the old ID on the device. If it is, sign it off: Settings>iCloud. Also check Settings>Messages, Settings>FaceTime, and Settings>iTunes & App Store, and if any of those are signed on with your old Apple ID, sign them off.
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the current email address. You will probably have to verify it.
4.     Sign onto the apps listed above with your current Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID.
Cheers,

Nothing is happening when itunes is opened and i connect the iphone 4 to it

I just bought the 32g iphone 4 and when i turn off my other phone and connect this new iphone nothing is popping up in my itunes.

Is your computer a laptop computer or a desktop?
Look at the underside if it is a laptop and you should find the make/model. Look at the back if it is a desktop.
Even more basic, is it a Mac (Apple computer) or a PC?
To find the OS if it is a PC, do a restart when it reboots it should say WindowsXP or Windows Vista, or Windows 7. If it is a Mac click on the Apple in the top left hand corner then click on About this Mac. A window will open and you should find the OS version number, like 10.4.11 or 10.5.8.

Bought iphone 5 second hand and cant activate my iphone because the owner forgot to delete previous apple id account

please help anyone asap bought a iphone 5 of this guy but cant activate my iphone cause the previous owner forgot to delete his old apple account and now i cant activate my iphone 5 and i cant get in touch with the previous owner cause i dont know him haha

Sorry, but you can't use that iPhone. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure; Apple won't unlock that device for you.

I have lost my passcode and cant sync my iphone either

PlEaSe HeLp I have lost my passcode and cant sync my my phone either so i cant access anything to change it.

Hi,
I'm not sure if that would work, but just give it a shot.
Don't only hold the home button and the wake/sleep button down till it resets,
try holding it down for about 30-40 seconds.
This time it should not just reset. You just have to make sure it's long enough. You will see ;-)
But then, you will have to put everything back on it again.
Better than having no access, I guess ;-)

My itunes says that a part of itunes is missing and cant operate. i have unistalled and reinstated multiple times

Hi, emmamcneill55.

PC crashes when itunes is installed and I connect my iphone

I am running Windows XP Home and just reformatted my hard drive in an effort to figure out why my pc would crash every time I hooked up my iphone 4S via USB. The pc screen would go black immediately and then the pc would reboot.
I have service pack 3 and all my windows updates are up to date. All my drivers are also up to date. I have not installed a printer, web cam, or other imaging device. I could now plug my iphone in via USB and windows xp recognized it as an image device and opened a folder with all of my iphone photos inside it.
However, as soon as I installed the latest version of itunes and tried to conect my iphone to synch, my pc crashed as it had before, with the black screen and reboot. As long as itunes is installed it does this every time.
I uninstalled itunes and my pc went back to recognizing the iphone as an image device and opens a folder with all of my iphone photos inside it.
Any thoughts on what's happening here? I am stumped and don't know what else to try. Thanks! :-)

Unable to Install ITunes 8.0 and unable to access IPhone

All,
Update attempts from ITunes 7.x & now though initially it said cannot upgrade to IPhone software 2.0.1 without 8, all of a sudden it kicked off and upgraded successfully. But now my Iphone is totally locked out as it is not even getting recognized in the Itunes.
Any way I can successfully upgrade 8 or downgrade iphone software?

This is the error I get when I instll.

I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

Can itune 9.2 and iOS4 shared by iphone 4g and 3GS

I upgraded to iphone 4g, but I still like to keep my old 3gs as a back up,
but in order to get iOS4 in 3gs working properly, I had to do "set up a new iphone" instead of "restore" which I did and the 3gs is good now, but just without any of my iphone stuff on it.
my question is, if I plug in the 4g ,do a back up, then plug in my 3gs with iOS4
and do a "restore" will the two phone have exactly the same setting and contents?
HELP!!!!!!!!!

You can set up separate settings for each phone, just give them a different name to each other. I have my iphone 4 on the same account as my husbands jailbroken 3GS. When one phone is plugged in you can go through all the things you want/don't want on it then do the same with the other. It sounds a lot harder than it is.
