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

How itunes cannot sychrnoise with iphone after upgrading latest IOS

Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/jailbroken. If true, try using google.

ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone after upgrading to Leopard.

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and iTunes (8.0.2) stopped recognizing my iPhone while iPhoto still works with my iPhone (I was able to download photos from my phone using iPhoto).
What's going on?
It's crazy! When iPhoto recognizes my iPhone, either iTunes or iSync doesn't reads the phone. It doesn't even give any error messages.
I did every solution I found on the net. Repair permission, Remove Local folder in Library.. etc..etc.. none of them worked.

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Can't see NAS after upgrade to 10.8

Help - I can't see my NAS after upgrade to Mountain Lion OS on my macbook air. I just see a blank window using command+shift+K -- used to see my drive.

Hi,
Check with the manufacturer of your NAS, there may be a patch/firmware update available, or one in the works. Not all software/hardware manufacturers get their drivers, or updates, to Apple in time for distribution, or they haven't tested their products with ML.
Cheers,

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...

Hello simmoaus,
I know not being able to view your photos can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

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.

Itunes can't see my phones backup file

Hi, I had to do a reset and restore on my iPhone recently and when i came to restore the backup iTunes could not see the one for my phone that i made prior to the restore (even though it exists in the C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file). iTunes can also see the ipad backup and the other backup from another iPhone that are in the folder but not mine. When it restored the phone it made a new backup file and datestamped the existing file. rightly or wrongly i moved the new post restore backup and removed the date stamp suffix of the original backup.

I had exactly the same problem and couldn't find the answer anywhere. However after playing a bit I found out that my computer name (i.e. Right click on "Computer" and select properties) contained a hypen. I renamed the computer to delete the hypen, restarted and now it syncs wirelessly like a charm!
Obviously something that apple overlooked which will probably right itself in the next release but should get you up and running fingers crossed!

Itunes can't see my iphone

Itunes can not see my iphone under the devices. Recently used Windows Parallel on my Mac but made sure to de-select the USB in the parallels application and clicked associate this device with Mac OS and not the windows os. I have tried un-installing iTunes, reinstalled with most recent edition. Recycled the iphone on / off. Removed the iphone from the docking cradle to direct connection with iphone to usb and no hubs, cradles etc.... in between iphone and computer without any success. I know the mac and itunes are working correctly because it syncs my ipad, wife's iphone 3gs and kids ipod touch without any trouble. I looked in the hardware listing in the system preferences and the usb lists my iphone as attached. With the iphone 4 plugged in I rebooted my mac hoping it would auto open itunes and auto sync but no luck.

Hello Barbara4090,
When the iPhone unmounts from iTunes during the backup phase, it can be due to some unreadable data on the iPhone that iTunes cannot deal with. It could be data saved by a third party APP on the iPhone, but there's no easy way to determine the what data may be causing the issue.
First try resetting the iPhone by holding down the sleep/power button and home button until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt).
Connect to iTunes and Sync to test.
Next would be to determine whether the issue is actually with the iPhone or the MacBook Air.
You mentioned that you also use an iMac.
If the iMac is running at least 10.4.11 and has a current installation of iTunes 8.0.2 on it, you can use the iMac to isolate the source of the issue.
If you have essentially the same information on both computers, you can do this test in the existing user on the iMac.
If you'd prefer not to intermingle any data from the iPhone you can create a new User on the iMac and test:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Before connecting the iPhone to the iMac, put a check in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" in the Devices section of iTunes Preferences.
Connect the iPhone and then right-click or control-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Backup."
If the iPhone cannot be backed up on the second computer, then it is due to some unusable data on the iPhone that cannot be backed up.
After the test, you can delete the new User if you created one.
If that is the case, then you may need to restore the iPhone and choose the option to restore from a previous backup at the end of the restore process:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
I would do this on the computer that you normally sync the iPhone with.
If, on the other hand, the iMac can backup the iPhone successfully, then there is possibly an issue with the MacBook Air or it's software:

Hope that helps,

My eom lightning charger says its unsupported and acts like a knock off and apps appear to be running in background draining battery but I can't see them. Upgraded to iOS 7 phone only lasts 1/2 day. Notifications are all off.

Tryed to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now itunes can not see my phone

tried to update my iphone4s, the update fail, now iTunes can not see my phone

Hi kjpservices,
So it sounds as if your iPhone does not appear in iTune after a failed update to iOS, is that right? In order to get it back into iTunes you will want to use one of these articles, depending on what kind of computer you have -
For a Windows PC, use this -
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are using a Mac, use this -
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
Once you get ths iPhone back into iTunes, try the update again. If it fails, post back and we can continue troubleshooting from there.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
