Itunes 10.6.1 won't recognize iphone 4s

I have the most up to date version of iTunes on my Macbook running Lion. The software on my iPhone is 5.1. I've rebooted both.

try the iPhone on a different USB port, computer or user account, if still not detected, try DFU mode and see if the iPhone is detected then, if not, it'll need to be repaired (replaced)

ITunes on new computer won't recognize iPhone.

My new laptop won't won't recognize my iphone 4s. The iphone is only abt a month old. My old computer crashed and I went through the steps of deauthorizing all computers and authorizing the newest one again. However, itunes still won't recognize the iphone! I don't know what else to do. I also have the icloud and imatch set up for the iphone. And auto downloads of new purchases. This part does work on the new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

My new Dell PC running Windows 8 does not recognize my iPad or iPhone. Worked OK for iPhone for months but would not work for new iPad. I removed /relaoded iTunes and now it won't recognize either iPad or iPhone.

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
be in mp3 format.
If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
in the playlist.

I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

ITunes 8 won't recognize iPhone

I'm experiencing this issue on 2 separate computers.
When I was prompted to install iTunes 8, I downloaded and installed. During the installation, an error box popped up saying that the iPod service wouldn't be installed. Of course, once installed, the iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes, although it's picked up fine by Windows as a "camera". Wanting to transfer my latest podcasts to my iPhone, I installed iTunes 8 it to my work computer (Win XP instead of Vista I run at home) and had the same issue.
It says that the iPod service is running, but iTunes won't recognize it. And of course, iTunes won't let me roll back to an older version. I've been searching for a resolution to this issue. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling, and no luck. I've found other mentions of this issue, but there never seems to be a resolution for it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem with an iPod touch 32gb. If you go into "Diagnostics" under "help" on the itunes menu bar, and run the "ipod connection test" or something like that, it'll show "failed" and have a "help" button next to it. This takes you to a web page that lists various steps in solving the problem, beginning with reinstalling iTunes 8. It then recommends several other steps including deleting all iTunes files and shutting down all windows services through "msconfig". The final step recommends wiping your drive and reinstalling Windows then reinstalling iTunes 8. I've tried all but the final step to no avail, but I'm guessing since you tried it with a fresh windows install that it may not even work. I'm hoping there is a resolution for this soon. I still have iTunes 7.7 on my laptop, so I'm considering migrating all my stuff to that until there's a fix. I know it's an iTunes 8 issue, because I synced my iPod +right before+ installing it, just fine. iTunes 8 has never recognized my iPod. Apple has left me with the choice of of re-installing Windows (and subsequently, everything else on my computer) or wiping all traces of iTunes 8 (including music libraries) and rebuilding my entire music collection from scratch, including playlists. Awesome. Just fix the stupid program?

Updated to newest iTunes version, now it won't recognize my iPhone.

Hey everyone. Was just looking for some tips or added feedback for an issue I'm having.
I went to do the iOS7 update for my iPhone 4. My iTunes told me that I had to have the "Newest Version of iTunes (11.1.whatever) to update to iOS 7, Do you want to Download now?"
So i clicked "Download" and away we went. After it finished, I restarted my computer like I always do after I install to software. I have Windows 8 by the way. When I started up iTunes and plugged in my device, nothing happened. No button in the top right appeared. So I ran the iTunes diagnostic, and it said no device was found. It shows up in "My Computer" as Landon's iPhone 4. So I know it's connected. I found the troubleshooting page for this on Apple's website, and did EVERYTHING. Still won't recognize my phone.
Has anyone else run into this problem? How was it resolved? Any tips or tricks would be helpful!! Thanks in advance!!
Landon

ITunes Won't Recognize iPhone / Crashes

Since Sept. 28, 2010, I've been unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes on my PC. iTunes exhibits one of the following symptoms: (1) iTunes is very slow to start; recognizes my iPod but not my iPhone; (2) iTunes locks up and crashes after startup; or (3) iTunes won't launch.
I've called Apple tech support, and removed and reinstalled iTunes, Bonjour, QuickTime, and all apple components 3 times. This has not resolved the problem. QuickTime continues to work fine despite problems with iTunes.
In the EventViewer there are problems with Bonjour loading on system startup. I've "disabled" Bonjour at system startup, and reinstalled iTunes, but this has not resolved the problem.
I am not running IOBit's Advanced SystemCare Utility, which has been mentioned as a problem for some on this site. Computer is a Dell Vostro 430 desktop (6 months old), and TrendMicro is my virus software.
Please help. I want to be able to backup my iPhone again.

Good gracious. At 8.24 am on 30 September, you launched iTunes and it did a repair install of itself because a file didn't show up when it checked actually-installed files against the records of what should be on your machine in the iTunes installation database. The file in question is the:
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\RatingFont.png
That usually indicates file or disk damage. And there's been plenty of suggestions of similar sorts of damage in the other error/warning events and attempts to run sfc. So rather than a System Restore, I think we should instead try running a chkdsk over your C drive.
There's instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r, depending on how you choose to go about it. You'll almost certainly need to reschedule the scan to run on restart. This sort of scan of the C drive should take quite a while ... if the scan stops after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the scan find/repair any damage?
If so, let's do another complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software, as per the following document. If Windows doesn't let you delete any files or folder, post back to let us know what the error messages say, and which files/folders you're getting them on. (My concern is that other file damage may have interfered with the replacement of program files during previous attempts at uninstall/reinstalls, which is why the problem has persisted past the previous uninstalls and reinstalls.)
[Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925]
If everything repairs/uninstalls/deletes/reinstalls successfully, do your iTunes, BonJour, iPhone, etc, start behaving a bit better for you?

Itunes 8.2.1 won't recognize my 3.0 iPhone

Version 8.2.1 is buggy. I am not the only user who is finding that this version of iTunes no longer recognizes my 3.0 iPhone. Occasionally it won't recognize my iPod Classic until I restart my iMac (circa 2007). My iPhone software is up to date (version 8.0.4 released on 06/30/2009).
I have:
Deleted iTunes 8.2.1
Shut off iTunes helper.
As per an Apple Document on this issue (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747)
I have deleted AppleMobileDevice.kext and
I have deleted AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
I have emptied the trash
Then restarted the iMac
Then reinstalled iTunes 8.2.1
It did not recognize my iPhone
restarted the iMac again
It did not recognize my iPhone
Apple, where can I get a copy of iTunes 8.2.0. Everything worked with that one.

Thank you, Matt. Actually I did turn up that site in my initial search. Thing is the old itune versions are for Windows and Vista. I'm on an iMac. Have not found an old version for OSX.
Anyhow, I did solve my problem. I had connected to the iMac through a USB hub. When I connected the iPhone and iPod classic directly to the iMac itself, itunes recognized the devices. Oddly, it did not detect them on the more modern USB cable that came with the iPhone 3.0, but with an older, larger cable that came with the iPod classic. Go figure.
The recent software update for the iPhone, supposedly to fix an issue with texting, has returned both iPhone and iPod to their former state and I am able again to connect through a hub (after a couple of iMac restarts -- what else in new!)
Thanks for the reply. My question seems not to be a popular one. I wonder if the connection problem is as widespread as I thought.

Updated 2.2.1 - Now iTunes won't recognize iPhone (and iPhone won't work)

I had this happen last time I did an update too, but that was fixed by going into my control panel and starting my apple mobile device - I checked and this time all is running. I can't use my iPhone and iTunes won't show it's connected even though it is (so can't restore, etc. since it won't recognize the device). I've tried closing out of iTunes and re-connecting the phone - nothing. I'm on PC using 2003 Microsoft software.
Thanks for any insight.

Sorry, gave the wrong PC info. I'm on XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 3.
Please help!

Itunes won't recognize Iphone but device still charges

Today, I had my Iphone 5c replaced after having issues with the software on my previous iphone 5c. I'm trying to put the data that was on my previous phone back onto my new replacement but Itunes won't recognize my device. I have tried getting the data back on my phone using Icloud but the backup data that is for my Iphone can't be selected as the backup data requires software that is ios 7.1 or later (or something like that). I have selected the option of "set up as new iphone" and just downloaded the software update but I don't know how to get back to the screen that shows the icloud backups.
I have also tried all the recommended things for when the device cannot be detected with itunes (ex. reinstalling itunes, restarting apple mobile device support< ect.)
If you can help with how I can get my itunes to recognize my iphone or how i can set up with icloud after selecting "set up as new iphone" that would be great

Set the phone up as a new phone. Then update the iOS to 7.1. After the update is complete restore your phone from your backup.
