ITunes can't seem to detect my iPhone's phone number.

I recently upgraded to a 4S (don't judge me, I wanted to be able to use all my old peripheries after my i4 got stolen), and it seemed to install just fine. I'm currently transferring music and apps, but when I looked at the iPhone main page, it says Phone Number: n/a (not applicable). Is this a problem with iTunes? With my iPhone itself? Or could it be a carrier issue? The phone itself can make and receive calls and texts - I've been using it all day.
Any thoughts?

Is it a standard audio CD?
Only a standard audio CD will show up in ITunes.

  • HT5538 Can't activate iMessage on my iPhone 5S phone number

    I recently bought an iPhone 5S about two weeks ago and I have been unable to activate iMessage for my phone number on it. I believe I have tried every troubleshoot step without success. When trying to activate iMessage I get several SMS's telling me this number received my message, but it never gets activated. Though it gets activated for my every single email address. I had it activated for my previous iPhone 4. And it's activated on my iPad 2 and MacBook Pro. Any ideas why is this happening on my iPhone 5S?
    PD: My sister is also having the same activation issue on her iPhone 5S. This also happens to FaceTime activation

  • Can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this?

    can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this? Is there an itunes update? or How can I return to the previous ios?

    To sync an iOS 7 device you need to be running iTunes 11.1.1; iTunes 10.6 is way too old and won't work. You need to install iTunes 11.1.1, but to do that you need to be running at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    So you need to do the following:
    1. Upgrade your Mac to at least OS X 10.6.8 (later preferably, but 10.6.8 at the miniumum).
        a. Check first to see if your model Mac can be upgraded, check that it has enough RAM and so forth (2GB at the least, more if possible).
        b. If you can't upgrade your Mac, or don't want to, then you will have to buy a new Mac with the latest version of OS X (currently 10.8.5, soon to become 10.9) and iTunes 11.1.1
    2. Install iTunes 11.1.1 on your newly upgraded Mac.
    3. Sync your iOS 7 iPhone with iTunes.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

  • When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.  when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

    when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
    i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
    when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
    I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
    after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
    What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

    If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
    There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

  • HT4623 My iPhone and iTunes can't access the activation servers, so no phone

    I have an AT&T 32GB iPhone 5 and I performed the update using iTunes (didn't have enough free space on my phone) and now neither the phone nor iTunes can communicate with the activation server so my phone is not usable. What can I do?
    I've tried quitting and restarting iTunes, and reconnecting the USB cable for iPhone.

    Same problem here, except, after iOS 7 downloaded on my iphone 4, my phone mysteriously reset itself so i've currently restoring my iphone after many attempts and still it's taken about an hour to do so and it's not even done yet

  • ITunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

    Hello.
    I get this error message
    iTunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.
    iTunes kann keine Apps mit dem iPhone synchronisieren weil nicht festgestellt werden kann welche Apps auf dem iPhone installiert sind.
    Need Help

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Have the first two been tried?
    How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?
    What has been done in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue?

  • HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESSAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY IPHONE 5

    HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY I PHONE5, THANKS

    You can't. Contact your carrier and ask them if they provide such a service. Most carriers do not, unless the text messages are threatening or harassing, but you can ask.
    Regards.

  • IPhone 5 "Phone Number N/A" and device says Phone Number "Unknown"

    So I just bought an iPhone 5 on Verizon off a guy on craigslist. Activated my phone,Clean ESN verfied by Verizon. I got home,put my Micro sim that I cut from my Android 4G phone,so it could fit. I can make calls and recieve texts, but I cannot send text messages through SMS. Only through iMessage. I turned my phone off and on but still nothing. The info on the phone Settings>Phone>My Number  it says "Unknown". On iTunes, it shows "Phone Number N/A". Messages say "not delivered" Can anyone help??

    I also see "Phone Number: n/a" in iTunes. As far as I can tell, my phone number listing on the phone itself is normal, showing up properly at the top of Contacts.
    This might have shown up after I installed the Verizon 13.1 carrier update. But maybe I just missed it previously.
    I don't have any of the history of the original poster. I bought my iPhone direct from Verizon.

  • Iphone sync phone number questions

    I am sync my iphone to my google apps contacts with the google iphone app. Everything works fine.
    One contact, however, has two mobile numbers. The 2nd mobile number is the 3rd phone number. That 3rd phone number does not sync at all to iphone.
    I will post to google, but first I want to make sure this is not an iphone issue.
    Iphone can sync to as many phone numbers as there are, right?
    Iphone can handle multiple mobile number, right?
    Sometimes I get a work fax synced instead of a work number, not an iphone issue, right?
    thanks!
