Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now  Itunes does not recognise  my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync  therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work.  Although after reading about other people with similar  issues on past window updates I think  I may need to uninstall all apple software .
I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

  • I-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5

    i-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5. Connected i-pad to update to new ios 5. Back-upp went fine but update failed and now i-tunes does not recognise the devise and i-pad will not work so I have no known way to restore.

    Copied from that article.....
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    Are you releasing the home button when you see the connect to iTunes screen? Does iTunes start on its own? If it doesn't - start iTunes yourself.

    5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

  • Itunes does not recognise ipad 2 with win7 64 bit but the computer recognises the ipad 2 as a camera. Works OK with win7 32 bit.

    I have tried to sync both ipod and ipad2 (new) with itunes running on win 7 64 bit. I have all latest versions installed on all machines.
    The ipod and ipad are just not recognised in itunes.
    I have an old win7 32 bit system on the same machine and everything works perfectly.
    Any ideas welcome.

    This was the answer to all my problems, once i updated the drivers all good! My iPad kept insisting I didnt have the 64bit itunes (which i did) and when I checked the files I was supposed to have as per the link instructions, I had none of them. Disappointed I had to turn to some random files off a blog rather than having apple actually provide useful help. As long as they are making money though :Z

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • Iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it

    I updated the software on my iphone4 and after updating the iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it. i have reloaded itunes, done a hard reset and still nothing. any ideas?

    Gotcha,
    If you have an iCloud account you might want to consider syncing that way so you won't have to use cables but that is certainly up to you.
    Try:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup iCal:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iOS device and attempt a sync.
    --- Check the Info tab in iTunes to make sure calendars are still set to sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

  • How can i connect my iphone 4 s with itunes? itune does not recognise the iphone when it is connected

    Hi, i have received an iphone 4s from japan! whwn i connect it to my pc, itunes does not recognise it. what can i do?

    For this issue you might try a couple things.
    First, try to restart the Apple Mobile Device service by clicking Start and searching for Services. Stop the service, then restart the service.
    If that doesn't work, you can remove and reinstall iTunes.

  • HT1923 itunes does not recognise CD's uploaded ,    can't connect to server it states  ,

    itunes does not recognise CD's uploaded 
    can't connect to server it states
    although PC is connected to the internet itunes can't find the connection 
    have an ipod nano
    this is complicating things as I can't change what's on the ipod either

    Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    This does not lose any data on your iPad.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.
