ITunes 9.2.1 doesn't recognise my iPhone 3G (Windows 7 64-bit)

Hi there
I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.2.1 and the software no longer recgnises my iPhone. Windows does recognise the phone, but it doesn't show in Devices on iTunes. I've tried all the tips on the Apple website several times now (uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, rebooting, removing all apple products) but nothing works.
It worked fine before I upgraded to iTunes 9 and incidentally my iPod shows up fine. Please help I can't sync my music, calendar or contacts.

I had the same problem at first install. My phone, once plugged in, was not being recognized by either window or iTunes. Same OS and same version. I tried switch USB ports and had no luck. Finally I changed USB cables and for some reason that fixed it. It finally allowed the update of the drivers to kick in and then my iPhone be recognized.
I am not sure if this will help or not but you might give it a shot. Please note that the first cable that would not recognize at first was a 3rd party and once I grabbed a new cable to try it was a apple specific.

Try taking a new picture with your iPhone then reconnect it to your computer.

Windows doesn't recognise my iphone 4s, but it will see my wife's iphone 4s

Hi
I am having trouble with my iphone 4s. Basically I plug it into my PC and the computer makes the noise that it has been connected but it does not recognise the device.
It does not appear in any way in device manager, nor does it start the autostart thing, or anything.
However, if i plug my wifes iphone 4s into the PC (exactly the same phone, we got them at the same time), then the PC does recognise her phone and it appears in the My Computer list.
Because of that I think that it is a problem with the phone and not the computer. The computer happily recognises the second iphone, but not my one.
I cannot think of anything different on my phone than my wifes apart from a few silly game apps and the fact that I have wifi turned on in my phone and connected to my home wifi, while my wife doesnt have wifi on. However, when I turn wifi off (and restart the phone even) it still does not connect.
I don't have any photo's at all in my iphone, so it can't be the problem with 'foreign pictures' that people talk about. I do have some video's in there, but they are all in my itunes too (which also doesn't recognise my phone).
I am on
iphone iOS 5.1.1
Windows 7 (64 bit)
I am completely stumped. I am hoping that I won't have to completely wipe my iphone to factory settings (and have to write out all my numbers by hand in case the itunes backup doesnt work).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
Phar

You don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck!

Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

ITunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. Please help

iTunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. When I connect iPhone to laptop, iTunes sends me an alert:" This iPhone can't be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". This started right after I have upgraded iTunes from 10.5 to 10.5.1. Please help !

Thanks for the hint ! I used the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
Had to remove all Apple related softwares and utilities, and re-install all back. iTunes recognizes my phone now ! Cheers !

Symptoms
In rare circumstances, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may not be recognized in iTunes on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard after the Mac is restarted. If you reinstall iTunes, your device may be recognized. However, restarting your Mac may result in the device not being recognized again.
Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
Resolution
Follow the below steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Note: Some of these steps will require that you enter your Mac OS X user password. If you do not know your user's password, follow this article first.
Install all software updates. If you have an update available for an SDK (Software Development Kit), be sure these updates are also installed. Do this by clicking the Apple () menu, choosing Software Update, and following the on-screen instructions. If you need to download iTunes manually, you can download it here.
Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Click Go.
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
Restart your Mac, open iTunes, and connect your device. If your device shows up in iTunes, restart your Mac one more time and confirm the issue is still resolved.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

My iTunes doesn't recognise my iPhone 4S

I hae tried everything and my iTunes still doesn't recognise it. I have uninstalled and re-installed my iTunes numerous times. Please does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could resolve this?! My computer recognises it but iTunes just freezes up and starts goign very slowly, then sometimes my phone is recognised but it tells me to go to the summary tab and restore factory setting, but as soon as I click "ok", my phone disappears from iTunes and it doesn't recognise it anymore, then other times it just doesn't show up at all. Any tips?!

Try plugging into another usb port

ITunes doesn't recognise my iPhone but my PC does

I've just updated iTunes but when I connect my iPhone 3GS, iTunes doesn't recognise it but my laptop does. Does anyone know why and what to do to correct it?

Typical, no one has answered your question.
It happened to me & now again. Last time I found my computer had a virus & after I connect up to ITunes it was working slower then the next time I connected ITunes wouldnt reconise my phone, then the nes time I did it the computer or ITunes shut down my phone & I couldnt turn it on.
My solution: Either roll back or reformat your computer.

ITunes 9.0.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone.

I loaded iTunes 9.0.1 on a Clone while my iPhone was connected to Clone . . . usually, I sync my iPhone to my MacBookPro. Now, my iPhone displays a picture of the connection cable, an arrow pointing to the CD disk labeled iTunes. When I connect the iPhone to the Clone, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone! Any suggestions?

HT3204 I have updated iTunes and now it will not recognise my iPhone 4 even though Windows 8 recognises it? HELP

How do I get my updated iTunes to recognise my iPhone as it did before?

I spent last week looking for a solution to that little yellow "!" needle haystack....
It is probably buried where nothing can touch or change it other than what I resorted to and would have saved time, clean install after I made sure to have two backup sets: Windows Easy Transfer plus Paragon clone OS and partitions to drive. Had to spend a full day reinstalling, updates, etc. Careful not to bring back any prefs or data that might be corrupt or wrong.
10.5 and iOS 5 on new iPod 4G works much better though and as they should and no issues like I had with AMS or other services or needing to restart first before launching iTunes.

IPhoto doesn't recognise my iPhone or iPad

When I first got an iPhone I could sync it to iPhoto and take all the photos off. Now iPhoto doesn't recognise my iPad or iPhone. I've deleted caches. I have spent hours on this and its getting me no where.

Just to be clear, are you asking a question about iPhoto for the Mac or the iPhoto.app on your iPhone or iPad? This forum is specifically for the iPhoto.app for iOS that's running on your iPad or iPhone. You might want to post your question in the iLife/iPhoto fourm here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
Be sure and let everyone there know which version of iPhoto you're running.

Iphone 2g connect to itunes mode and pc doesn't recognise

Hi,
I am not sure how or why but my iphone went blank today, I assumed that the phone had run out of battery, I plugged it in but it did not seem to charge. Next the symbols for connect to itunes came up so I connected it to my laptop but itunes would not recognise it, the symbols stayed on then it reset after a few minutes. I have reset the phone and nothing. The phone is locked to O2 and it has a tesco mobile sim installed. I have had the phone for 3 months and it has worked fine.
Thanks for your help

Hi Phoenix,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I think you missed a sign somewhere along the information highway. This is the Numbers '09 forum, where the general topics concern techniques and issues involving Apple's spreadsheet application Numbers '09, part of the iWork '09 collection.
Your question will likely be served better if asked one of the forums in the iPhone section of Discussions. The link will take you to that section.

Barry
