Itunes cannot detect my i phone 4 after restoring.. lost all data help!!

I was trying to update my I phone 4 with the latest Ois system when i tunes crashed. I had to restore my iPhone as it was irresponsive. To restart it when I tried to restore; itunes first showd me the the progress as : Extracting Software.. (completed) then VErify with apple store (complete) and then suddenly a pop up box appears with a msg saying ' The i phone "i phone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found. As there is no number to this error msg i do not know how to resolve this. Please help as I have all my pictures/ videos of my six mnth old on this phone asn would hate to lose them !!

Your data is most likely gone, whether or not you get your phone working again.
Surely, with something as valuable as pictures and videos of your six month old, you've been importing them at frequent intervals onto your computer, just like you would from any other video camera or still camera. Those pictures will still be safe on your computer once you get your phone sorted out.
And, given the priceless nature of those pictures, I'm sure you've been backing up all the data on your computer as well.

Cannot transfer movies to phone after "Restore"

I ran a sync, then a restore on my Iphone, then re-synced, and none of my apps synced (they all disappeared). Now when I try to sync my Owned and Rented movies I get an error saying it cannot copy the movies "because it has already been transferred to another computer or device"
Well, that's wrong, it was synced to my Iphone before I ran the restore, and now I tunes doesn't recognize that my phone is the one that everything was transferred to before.
How do I fix this?

Well, I have success (in a way). I got my laptop fired up and running again, with a fresh install of XP. I installed WMP0 and Y!ME and shared my previously downloaded songs directory on my main PC (the one that won't transfer) for Yahoo to access from my laptop, so it wouldn't have to re-download EVERYTHING I had already. Once I got all this going, I did have to re-license all the tracks I had downloaded (get 3 PC's to use on an account). Wasn't too hard to do that, just click-shift-click, right-click, relicense. Once all that was done, voila! It works like a charm! So, I still can't figure out what's corrupted or whatever on my main pc's XP install, but for now I have a working solution, and at some point I'll rebuild XP from the ground up on my main box so I can access my tunes from wherever.
Anyway, long story short, I've got lots o' new tunes on my Xtra that I can now listen to! Still can't figure out what's goofed on my other machine, but probably should have done this straight away without spending so much time trying to find the problem. Basically, it boils down to being the same problem that goofed up the Firmware install was the same problem I had after when trying to transfer files.

I shifted my itunes music from C: drive to D: and lost all data on ratings/plays etc

I shifted my itunes data from C: drive to D: drive on my Windows Vista laptop. I also updated itunes. Now while I have the music intact, the historical data including ratings/date of download/no of times played is all lost. Even though I did not delete any file from my comp. I have the data intact on my ipod classic (2005 model) by if I sync it now itunes would delete that data too and update it with that on the itunes where the history is lost. In effect even the history on ipod would get lost.
I am keen to retain it as it was developed painstakingly over 6 years.As the data is intact on ipod, pl help me transfer the same back to itunes

Well, having read a lot of misleading articles on the subject, I found out the solution about the missing "consolidate" option for myself. I started as per what seems to be standard advice and changed the current Library directory to my external drive in the Edit / Preferences / Advanced section of iTunes. I also ensured that the boxes next to Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised and Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder were checked. By the way, for simplicity's sake I'd already created a folder I named iTunes on the HD. I then highlighted (using my mouse) every track in the Library Music folder in iTunes and then right clicked this selection of 400+ songs. That then gave me the elusive "consolidate" command (amongst all the many other options) which I then selected. Much to my relief, iTunes then started the transfer process to my external drive. I was then able to close down iTunes and delete the iTunes Media files on my C: drive (knowing I could always restore them from Trash if everything went wrong) and thereby saved about 5 meg. I restarted iTunes and it works - all my music files are on my external drive and provided that's connected up I'm ok. I had one music video file and I moved that separately simply by highlighting it, right clicking on it to get access to the consolidate option and letting iTunes move it across.

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.
Safely disconnect iPod

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

HELP! iTunes Cannot Detect iPhone~

i am using Windows Vista with my 1.1.2 iPhone & iTunes 7.5
iTunes cannot detect my iPhone when i plug it via the USB cable to my computer, while Vista can detect it and i can access the photos inside iPhone with the link my computer\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
the interesting fact is that when i turn off the "program control" (a function in my firewall, ZoneAlarm). iTunes can then detect the iPhone can they can sync(ringtones, music, contacts successfully get into iphone)!
if i switch on the "prgram control" in zonealarm after they sync, disconnect iphone and reconnect it, an error message will be shown, something like "iTunes cannot connect to iPhone [^2], unknown error (0xE8000001)"
if you know what happening, please HELP!!!
thanks for your time!!!

Obviously it's an issue with ZoneAlarm. Why not contact their support or post on their forums? May be a common problem. Or maybe look for a different firewall/security software.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
