Itunes cannot recognize iphone 4

Everytime I need to do the following to connect my iphone 4 with iTunes.
1. Run command prompt as Administrator
2. Execute a command 'Netsh winsock reset'
3. Restart the system
I am using Windows 7 SP1 in my laptop. iPhone is using iOS 5.0.1.
Even about a month back I could connect the iphone normally with iTunes.
Not sure if the updated iTunes is the culprit. I tried to remove and reinstall the program but no success.
To check my iPhone I tested it in a MAC. It works absolutely fine.
I tried to find solution through many forums but couldn't make any headway.
Please help

Right mouse click iTunes icon, select Properties, then 'Compatibility' tab, check the box 'Run as Administrator'.
After netsh winsock reset, you may get a prompt after restarting windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
However, if you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • ITunes cannot recognize iPhone/iPad via WiFi Sync following motherboard change

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a problem with synchronising my iPhone (and iPad) to iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium via WiFi sync.
    This never used to be a problem - both devices would be identified by iTunes (occasionally this was sporadic, however a simple WiFi off/on would usually solve the problem).
    I have recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU in my Windows 7 PC and after updating some drivers, etc. all of a sudden, I cannot connect to WiFi Sync anymore. I can still synchronise my devices via the cable - i.e. the devices are correctly identified by the PC, but for some reason post the motherboard change, as soon as I pull the plug out of the device, the device disappears from iTunes.
    I can confirm that the "Synchronise this device via WiFi sync" tick boxes are checked, and the Machine Name is the same, so my iPhone is still looking for the same PC.
    I'm wondering if because of the motherboard change, there is an internal signature that the iPhone/iPad looks for that is no longer the same.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to no avail. I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem - no matter what I do, iTunes will simply not recognise my devices over WiFi anymore.
    Welcome any advice or thoughts.
    System details:
    - Intel i7 2700K (Upgraded from Intel i3 550)
    - ASUS P8Z68-M Pro (Upgraded from an ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
    - iPhone 4S
    - iPad 2
    - Windows 7 Home Premium
    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Folks,
    I thought I should post a follow up - in case any Apple Support people scour these forums.
    The problem seems to have resolved by itself, which is both a good and bad thing.
    I made absolutely no changes last night, not even a system reboot, to launch iTunes today and the system miraculously discover both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. I think this highlights a broader problem is that the WiFi sync capability is inconsistent and very difficult to troubleshoot. I have no idea why it has all of a sudden started working, especially when I have changed no wireless, networking, firewall or Anti Virus settings.
    Anyway thank you to those who had a read, and I wish I could provide more insight on why it has started working all of a sudden, and importantly, what caused it to stop working.
    Perhaps it is simply like two people - the new PC and its motherboard needed to 'get to know' the devices before it felt comfortable in allowing a connection .
    I have no other more rational explanation!
    Cheers all,
    Mike.

  • ITunes cannot recognize iPod Touch

  • ITunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time....

    My Shuffle 2G lost power yesterday and when I connected it to my Mac mini to recharge, the light flashed a few times before getting the error prompt "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time." The prompt instructs the use of the reset utility, which I ran repeatedly to no avail. I've tried all the rebooting, restarting iTunes, switching USB ports, etc. with the same error message each time.
    The power indicator is no longer responding at all following the first time that I connected it yesterday. Is my Shuffle completely fried? I've only had it a year and it was hardly ever used during that duration. Help!

    The exact same thing just happened to my 2nd Gen shuffle. It stopped playing due to low battery charge, then when i tried to connect it ti iTunes, it said it 'could not recognize iPod at this time" and to use the reset utikity. I have now ran the reset utility a few times....but there is no change.
    I would really appreciate some help in solving this issue.......

  • Hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

    hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • IPod Classic 80gb - "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time"

    Hi,
    Having trauled the Internet this evening, it appears i'm not the only person having this problem. This afternoon I updated my iPod and downloaded the latest software update. Since then, my iPod has not worked, it wont switch on, it wont reset and when I connect it to my laptop, iTunes displays the "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time". Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I have tried downloading version 1.03 and putting that in the Apple software updates folder, as suggested in another thread on here but that does not work. I have tried to reset it whilst plugged into my in car charger, this doesnt seem to work either. As this seems to be a common fault, there must be a way of sorting it?
    Cheers!
    Sean

    My 80Gb iPod Classic died a few days ago, shortly after installing the latest iTunes update, syncing it and then plugging into my integrated iPod kit in the car. I could not get the iPod to switch on after this and it would not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes (although I did get the rather unhelpful "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time" message). I tried various suggestions from the web but to no avail.
    I've managed to resolve the problem by uninstalling version 7.6.1.9 and all associated apps (iTunes, Safari, Quicktime and anything called Apple xxx in Add/Remove Programs). Then I downloaded and installed the previous version of iTunes 7.6.0.29 (you can get this from http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/3694/) and this seemed to sort the problem.
    Needless to say, I won't be updating my iTunes version for some time!

  • ITunes wont recognize iPhone 5

    Alright, I've had this problem for a while now, and I'm at my wit's end. Hope someone can help me.
    First of all, I'm running Windows 8.0 on a Lenovo, using iTunes 11.1.5, and an iPhone on iOS 7.0.6.
    Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there. On top of that, every time I plug in, my phone gives me the same "Trust this computer?" prompt, like it doesnt recognize the computer I told it to trust 5 seconds ago. A couple times, I got lucky and iTunes dignified me with a "An iPhone has been detected, but could not be identified properly." prompt. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile device driver, updating everything, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iphone settings, but nothing works. Any ideas?

    Having the exact same problem with my iPhone 4S.
    This started happening right after upgrading iTunes to 11.1.5 - never encountered this issue before.
    Tried doing the same thing you mentioned above with no luck at all.

  • Itunes wont recognize iphone 4s

    itunes will not recognize iphone 4s. I have gone through the trouble shootinging steps that Apple provides but will still not work. Any suggestions?

    If connecting in recovery mode did not work, did you try to connect to another computer, to make sure your phone has no hardware failure?

  • 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.
