ITunes does not recognise my iPhone
Hi,
I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it was working perfectly. I use windows XP professional as my operating system. I was able to access the iTunes store, play music, purchase and successfully download music etc. However, when I attached my iPhone my laptop recognised it in my computer as an apple camera and it did not show up in my iTunes under my devices. I managed to get it to stop recognising it as a camera through the my devices tab but still can't get iTunes to "find" my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've had exactly same problem since updating to latest iTunes last week, recognises iPhone as camera but not as device in iTunes. Did anyone find a solution to this??

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.

Had to rebuild computer & now itunes does not recognise ipod & iphones
Had major problems with pc & had to reload everything & have successfully reloaded backed up music & films but now when I connect ipod & iphone it thinks that they are linked to another version of itunes & get the message saying that it will delete all media etc on the devices. I have lots of apps & other music (downloaded direct onto ipod) contact/diary info that I don't want to lose. Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks.Ipod touch and iphone will sync to one computer/library at a time. Since you had to reload everything, it is now a new library. Your iphone and ipod will indeed be erased when you sync.
You can transfer itunes purchases from the devices first.
Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Were you contacts not included in the regular backup?
If for some reason you did not backup your contacts, calendars, then you can enter one unique contacts/calendar entry on your computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data. -
My iPhone 4 has not been working for the last 4months....I have just recently decided to give it another go and it seems to be working but I forgot my password. I would use iTunes to reset but my iTunes does not recognise my iPhone.... Is there anything that can be done
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
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.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software. -
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

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 !!Hello andyv,

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. -
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.

My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.
Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC? You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
Hope this helps
