Itunes can't handle iphone 4s

Whenever i try to access my phone through itunes, the program pinwheels into oblivion. This leaves me unable to transfer any sort of file to my phone; I can't even play music through itunes consistently. Itunes recognizes the phone, i'm unable to navigate it.
I've also got an Ipod Touch that I'm having the same problem with.
here's my system specs
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
and my library is just under 40 gigs.
Winamp works fine for media, but it seems i have no alternative to transfer music to my phone.

help ? no one ?

ITunes can't see iPhone after upgrade, phone became inactivated.

The phone will no longer connect after upgrading software through iTunes.
It's back to the "emergency call" screen, and "Activate your iPhone. Connect to iTunes" screen.
When I try to connect, iTunes hangs.
(iPhoto opens and downloads pictures!)
Help! Any ideas?

Marc...I think you are confused by what I am trying to say. For your iPhone to be seen by your computer/iTunes you must have a good install. I suspect that you have a bad install of iTunes "On Your COMPUTER" To fix this (and it has worked for many other users) You need to delete/uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Quick Time from "your COMPUTER".
Download a new copy of iTunes from the apple web site and reinstall. I am only trying to assist you, this is not a windows versus mac thing...this is a user help user forum, I do not (and you can check my posts) play the this is better then that game.
I want to help you fix your problem which I just did with another user have a similiar problem to yours, so that you can enjoy your iPhone like the others that assist in these forums.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck

ITunes can't read iPhone 5

every time i plug my iPhone into my mac book pro, it tells me it can't read my iPhone and i need to restart my phone. How do i figure out if my settings and iPhone have already been backed up? I know i have backed it up on iTunes in the past, just not sure how long ago. I just want to be able to play music on my iPhone. I have had to delete my music on my phone before to make room for updates and such. and now iTunes can't read it. I don't get it

Hi Natropolis,
If you would like to see the last time your iPhone was backed up to iTunes on your Mac, you may find the information in the following article helpful:

Itunes can't see iphone

Hey gang - so I have an iPhone 4 (legit and uptodate) and once a week itunes can no longer see it when its connected to my MBP.
I read on the Apple Support site that this can be fixed by re-installing iTunes - now this does fix the problem.
Until a week later when I have to do this again - can anyone help me out with a more permanent fix?

There are a few problems with this, it extends to the iPad as well.
I can only suggest this troubleshooter : http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes
However if you're re-insatlling iTunes once a week could be a something a little more serious...

Itune can't detect iphone 6 plus on wifi sync

iTunes 12.0.1.26
Macbook Pro Retina, 13 inch, late 2013, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iPhone 6 plus 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
iPad 2 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
Both Wifi and Bluetooth turned on.
When iTunes launched, iPad2 is detected within 10 sec, whereas iPhone 6+ is not detected.
I can still detect iPhone for personal hotspot and handoff.
Of note, the continuity feature on Macbook Pro is not consistent - message does show up but not phone calls.
I tried restarting both devices, deactivating and activating the handoff features etc.
It never worked for me. When I bought iPhone it was already running iOS 8.1. Upgraded to 8.1.1 only few days ago.
Kind regards.

Hi there ing soo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi syncing found in the article below.

ITunes can't see iphone connected to Win7 PC

Computer sees iphone fine. iTunes doesn't. I've tried all the recommendations suggested thru Help, but no joy. Unable to sync any music or tones. Tried to return the phone today, but it's been longer than 15 days since I purchased it.

Yeah, I called Apple. Seems they want me to buy another iphone & service so they can troubleshoot this one. Not very impressive.
However, uninstalled & reinstalled itunes. No joy. Plugged phone back in for about the 6th time and JOY!
Have no idea what solved the problem.
Thnx for your replies.

Can't Update iTunes = Can't Update iPhone

In order to update my iPhone 3GS (currently version 3.1.2) to OS 4, it seems that I have to update iTunes to version 10. The caveat is that with OSX Tiger (10.4.11) I can't do that. Any ideas on updating my iPhone without having to buy Leopard? (Working student here, not like I've got a grand sitting around for a new computer when my current one works fine for school.)

I found a link for iTunes 9.1.1, which might help out!

ITunes Can't Find iPhone 6 Plus via Wifi

Hi all,
I'm running the latest Yosemite beta with the latest iTunes and I've enabled Wifi sync on my iPhone 6 Plus. iTunes fails to find the phone even though they're on the same network. Can anyone help? Thanks

You're running beta software that is bound to have issues. Report it to Apple using the beta channel.

Since downloading 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod.

Since downloading Itunes 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod. I have a MacBook Air, Lion OS, Itunes version 11.0.1 (12). I didn't see this problem with older versions of Itunes. I do not manually change the organization of the Itunes library. I use the Itunes "add to library" feature or Amazon's MP3 downloader. Sometimes, however, I have changed song information in the "info" window. Such as unchecking the "compilation" button and sorting by artist (for that song), so that I can search by artist in the top pane of Itunes (otherwise the song is sorted in an album that is a "compilation," but not under the name of the artist who sang a particular song. I've done this without problem in the past, but perhaps the newer version of Itunes can't handle the changes I made and has lost track of where the older version of Itunes stored such songs? How do I fix all these older previously ok changes if that's the case... If I could just find where they are stored in Itunes it would be easier perhaps. I've looked in compilations, unknown artist, and so forth to no avail. And Finder search can't find them.
Details: suddenly, many songs are marked with "!," denoting that Itunes cannot find the songs in the library and cannot play them. Oddly, my iPod CAN play the "unlocatable" songs with no problem (it has been synched "post problem"). So the songs are still there somewhere in the Itunes library. This problem occurs by album, that is, all songs from the same album become unlocatable, although different albums by the same artist may still be found and played.
Exploring the Itunes library to try to locate the missing albums/songs, I discovered that generally there is no longer any folder specified for any artist associated with a missing album [artist is the top level of organization and album is the second; compilations are in the same folder]. This is true even if I have other albums from the same artist which Itunes IS able to locate. I cannot find a single song/album by such artists anywhere in the Itunes file system, even the ones that Itunes can still play. If I right click and "get info" for an unlocatable song, I get a notification box that asks if I want to locate the file. If I click "no," next thing-- the info window for the song pops up, with all the correct info (including sort info, which I double check)! Why is Itunes able to locate all the info on the song, but is not able to play the MP3 file?
Using Finder I cannot locate the songs that are unlocatable by Itunes (except the original download files in the Amazon MP3 folder). Finder is, of course, able to find Itunes songs that Itunes has no trouble locating. What's up?! My iPod can find them just fine. I just synched my iPod again and am playing the "unlocatable" songs right now.
I can "fix" most of these files by downloading files one by one into Itunes from my Amazon download folder or from my CDs using the "add to library" feature. In fact, it is strange. But this will take a very long time! And what if this problem continues recurring? But something strange happens when I implement this fix. I added one song to Itunes (from the Amazon MP3 folder, using "add to library") for one "unlocatable" album of Pete Seegers. After adding that one song, I looked at the Itunes music library and discovered that a folder for Pete Seeger (which was not there before I added the song) had been newly created, or restored. In this folder was the one song I had just added, but ALSO all my other Seeger albums that had previously remained "locatable" by Itunes. But the other "unlocatable" songs were not restored, unfortunately.

I have found a workaround. When I create a new playlist, iTunes allows me to add or remove songs from existing playlists for a short while. Then, for some reason it prevents me from adding and deleting songs again. Not sure why. Go figure.

Itunes can't see my apps after windows 7 install

I had a free upgrade to windows 7 with my laptop. I lost everything on itunes as a result. My itunes can see the iphone, but it doesnt recognise it as my iphone, so I can't see the apps etc on it.
How can I get itunes to recognise the iphone as mine again?
Thanks

iTunes>iTunes Store>log in
Click the Store menu>Authorize Computer
enter password and click Authorize
iTunes thinks this is a new computer after the upgrade to Windows 7.
