ITunes could not connect to the iPhone "" because the device timed out.
I can't sync my iPhone 4s after updating. I keep receiving the message iTunes could not connect to the iPone because the device timed out. Help!
If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution. Anyone have a fix for this issue?Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.

itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000003)
tried uninstalling itunes and restarting reinstalling, didnt change problem.The article may not explicitly mention the error code but it does say +the error may be the same as above but end with a different number+. I've now found a forum on another site (http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=2813&page=2&s=f1904afbf5d4475d933fabcb9b 022f7e last post) that says :
1, Go to the folder C:/Program Data/Apple/Lockdown (in Vista or 7)
2, Delete SystemConfiguration (system file)
As I havn't had the error I don't know whether the above fixes it - and if you try it I'd suggest taking a backup or renaming the file, not deleting it, in case it doesn't work and you want to restore the file. -

ITunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected
A few days ago, my iPad 3 A1430 screen turned black. Siri was still there but very slow to respond. The following day, the screen display returned (the usual green background colour but a much smaller display and not a single icon present). Siri was back up to speed, could play music, display info but could not respond to calendar enquiries etc. The iPad would switch off but not reboot. I let the battery level drop to zero then re-charged: iPad now working again.
Wanting to back-up my iPad, I ran iTunes version 12.1.0.50 on iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2). I have PCemulator installed and when the iPad connection was made, I received the usual screen prompt for which to connect to Mac or PC. (The problem starts here: - the prompt was flashing on/off). I selected Mac & received the message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Rebooted PC and iPad, connecting iPad offers no device prompt, only the same error message.
Successfully backed up iPhone 6 using iTunes.
Upgraded iPad software to IOS 8.2 and connected again. No effect, same error message.
Looked at various Apple posts but couldn’t find a solution. After several iMac & iPad reboots, eventually managed to back-up my iPad and in the process lost all my iPad music built up over the years on my old PC. Managed to recover these music files from my old PC and load them onto iTunes on my iMac. Tried to sync my iPad but back to error message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Any solution?I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.

ITunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
Started getting an error message during iPhone synch about two weeks ago: "iTunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected"
- Am synching to my Outlook calendar on a system running Windows 7
- Everything else (contacts, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) synchs just fine
- Tried totally resetting the iPhone and restoring the firmware
- Tried deleting the backups, preferences and resetting synch history
- Tried forcing a rewrite/replacement of the calendar database using iTunes
Nothing sems to work...still get the same message about not synching the calendar due to the iPhone disconnecting, but of course, it really hasn't disconnected since I can get it to immediately synch anything else.
Any ideas out there? Thanks...Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue. -

iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.

Step 2
Select your HD (Hard Drive) ( I did this form my desk top)
Next select the applications folder, Next right click the iTunes icon and select show package contents, select Contents.
1. Next select info.plist, right click and select move to trash (A message should appear Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this)(Enter your password) Select ok, (This moves the file to the trash).
2. Next select pkginfo, right click and select move to trash. (A message should appear Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this)(Enter your password) Select ok, (This moves the file to the trash).
3. Next Select version.plist, right click and select move to trash (A message should appear Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this)(Enter your password) Select ok, (This moves the file to the trash).
4. Remove "iTunes" from your dock
5. From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
6. Type the following and then press Return: /var/db/lockdown

2. Click Go.
3. Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.) If you DO NOT HAVE file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" I DELETED THE FOLLOWING (com.apple.usb.plist)
4. In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.) You may be presented with the following message “iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X.) Do not worry click ok and proceed troubleshooting
5. Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears: /System/Library/Extensions

4. Goto Library
5. Goto Application Support
6. Throw this in the trash: Wi-Fi Sync (it's an entire folder) and anything with iTunes
Step 5
(Before restart book mark the link command and D). Restart the Mac.
Download iTunes and reinstall it. After the install, connect the 2.0 usb device to the iPad 2 while the unit is still powered off, next connect the 2.0 usb cord to iTunes, power the iPad on. iTunes will read the device and ask to trust device, select continue. Backup the iPad device to the 27 in iMac.
Step 6
Please Rate if it helped you! After that have a cold hard drink and enjoy the day -
When I plug my iPhone 4 in to my MacBook Pro, it charges but it is not recognised in iTunes.
After about 30 seconds I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
The device still charges but is not recognised.
I've obviously tried restarting both devices / programs. I'm running the laters versions of iTunes and iOS on my iPhone. I've tried all the steps in the troubleshooting pages, and i've re installed iTunes. Stil no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!I am having a very similar issue with my iPhone 5.
Yesterday I took it to the Apple Store as the battery was draining rapidly, and had the phone restored from an iCloud backup. Everything but my music was synced, and when I returned home to sync my music, the iPhone is only being recognised by iPhoto and I am having error messages from iTunes that the iPhone is not recognised and is unresponsive. I have tried everything I have found online, including trying to connect my phone to my work computer with similar messages.
Please help! -
when i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library?
Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help. -
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
This is the third time in a week I've had iTunes get stuck with a message saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.".
I keep hitting "OK", but the message continues. Force quitting and then restarting iTunes does nothing. Force quitting and turning off my iPhone did nothing. I think I need to shut down my iPhone and then reboot. That's what I did the other two times.
Is there a permanent fix for this problem?It's an iTunes 12 bug... Not sure who's responsible for usbmuxd at Apple, but they should be fired! This was extensively discussed and worked out here: itunes 12 will not recognize iphone
All credit to oskapt, who's post detailed the entire issue. The short version is a recent version of usbmuxd has a programming error that leads it to never close any connection. At the same time, it's constantly making new connections too. The end result is this background process actually hits the built-in UNIX limit on open connections by a single process (to prevent bugs like this from ultimately crashing an entire computer), and is blocked by design from functioning after that point. Once usbmuxd fails, iTunes can't see your iOS devices.
The fix is to quit usbmuxd, either via Activity Monitor or Terminal. It will automatically relaunch, and work again until it hits the limit. That thread has several suggestions for automated scripts to run every 24-48 hours to prevent this. Hopefully an OS X or iTunes update will fix this, but it's been known for several months so far without any action on Apple's part. You'd think they'd want to make their flagship products actually "just work" together.
Then again, quality control at Apple has been going downhill for quite some time and is now getting pretty embarrassing. See this (somewhat off-the-cuff and hyperbolic) post by Marco Arment or this (more reasonable) post by Craig Hockenberry for the take of two third-party developers concerned for the drop in Apple's software quality lately.
Hope this fixes it!
