ITunes doesn't detect my iPhone

Hi all,
  I've got the latest version of iTunes and an iPhone 4 running on iOS 5.1.1. And yes I don't want to update my iOS to 6.0.1 for obvious reasons.
Everything was fine until yesterday. But since yesterday my iTunes wouldn't recognise my iPhone over wifi. Am able to connect it via a USB and sync but not over wifi.
  Tanx in advance.
And yup am from India so wishing you all a happy Diwali

Mahesh - the simple fact of your question regarding an external drive, helped me put 2 and 2 together. I have just started using a 2TB WD USB hard drive to maintain back up's. I had turned the external drive off for some time as I was having CPU cooling problems and the auto archiving SW put a real load on the CPU. During this time iTunes and iPhone worked fine. To ensure this was the root cause, I shut the system down, removed the USB connection to the external drive and made sure to turn off the auto back up SW once booted up again. Like magic, removing the external drive allowed iTunes to recognize the iPhone and i am back in business. Thanks for the hint, my problem is SOLVED!

    Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

  • ITunes doesn't detect my iPhone, iTunes doesn't detect my iPhone, iTunes doesn't detect my iPhone

    I've been using iTunes with my iPhone 3G for over 3 years without a problem.  This week, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone.  It is recognized by Windows, is working properly in Device Manager, and the Apple Mobile Device service is Started and Automatic. I am running Windows 7 64bit.  I followed the troubleshooting directions to retart the Apple Mobile Device, and then the directions to completely uninstall iTunes, reboot and reinstall the latest version. 
    Still no joy.  My iPhone is immediately recognized on my husband's computer/iTunes. His iPod is recognized by my iTunes.
    What next?

    Try restarting the iPhone while it's connected to the PC. See if that makes a difference.
    If not, try disabling anti virus software and turning off the Firewall.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn Windows Firewall on or off
    Then see if iTunes will recognize the iPhone.

    Hello Eainere,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the phone is in recovery mode, and is not recognized in iTunes when you have it plugged in.
    The steps to take next will depend on what Operating system you have installed on your computer.

  • After 4.3.4 update the ipPad is in Recovery mode and iTunes doesn't detect the device

    Hello,
    brand new Win7 installation, restored iTunes folder and installed latest 10.4. iTunes64 bit.
    Hooked up both my iPad and iPhone4
    Detected new firmware 4.3.4
    and bang, both devices are now stuck into recovery mode.
    No matter I set the iPad/iPhone into Recovery or DFU mode, iTunes will not detect any device for recovery.
    Uninstall/Install iTunes => no change
    The driver will display that the units is detected and in DFU or Recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect the device.
    Tried TinyUmbrella etc but no fix
    Any other hint?
    Best Regards
    Uwe

    Place the device in DFU mode (google it) then restore.

  • Latest version of Itunes doesn't detect my internet connection.

    Itunes doesn't detect/see my internet connection. I reloaded it twice, When in Itunes, I can't download anything from the Itunes site. No tutorials,no software updates, nada! I tried it in the previous version of the Itunes setup too. Same problem.
    I have an HP laptop, Vista Home premium (works fine anywhere else), Nortons 36O (disabled), ATT DSL
    I am running Firefox too, and tried to connect with Internet Explorer 9.xx, didn't work either. Some of the messages indicate that the Proxy Server info is missing/incorrect as configured. This is out of my league. I don't have enough background to TS this issue myself.
    Seems like a sporatic, but common problem with other users as well. I need Itunes to run, correctly so that I can fix my Iphone. The limited diagnostics found in Itunes tells me that the phone is ok and communicates with the test software. But I can't get any deeper than that.
    Thank you for your help.

    I think you're missing the point. If you rip or purchase music at 128k, 256k, 320k etc. then there is no benefit to be had converting it to Apple Lossless. The files will get bigger but the data thrown away to make the previous lossy version cannot be reclaimed. If, on the other hand, you routinely rip in .wav or .aiff then you should end up with smaller files of the same quality which is indeed worth the effort.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.
    Whenever I plug my iPhone into my computer it starts to charge like normal but iTunes does not recognize it. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple (Downloading the latest iTunes version, reinstalling iTunes, updating the software on my phone, restarting my computer, etc). I've also looked at various tutorials on different websites that showed other methods. Among these methods were going into the control panel Device Manager or the Services program and taking certain steps within said programs. It seems I have tried everything under the sun to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and so far nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do which is why I've resorted to this. Anybody know what might be going on? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my computer with the latest iTunes installed as previously stated. I've also just installed iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and this has not changed anything. If anyone has any idea what is going on and would like to tell me how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you've gone through this article and made sure the Apple Mobile device service is installed and running, you should look at the security software on your computer.
    To make sure it isn't the security software, you can either follow the steps in the article below, or you could just uninstall it and test again. Then reinstall it again when you're done.

  • I just installed update version 11.1.4.62.  Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.  My wife just installed the same version with the same result.  The problem is clearly a problem with itunes.  What's wrong with itunes?

    I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly.  I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad.  I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc.  I tried diagnostics to no avail.  The diagnostic didn't recognize either device.  As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple  mobile device service,  That didn't work either.  My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem.  She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
    Until now, itunes has been totally reliable.  I am convinced the problem is with itunes.  Where do I go from here?

    I resolved the issue by doing the following:
    1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
    2. Uninstall bonjour.
    3. Reboot.
    4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
    It worked.  When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

  • I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

    I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G

    Like the title says, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G. What can I do? I have already done the troubleshooting, like dowloaded the newest version of iTunes and Mac OS, started again the computer and so on, but it doesn't help me at all. Is iPhone 3G too old for recognizening, beacuse it can't be updated to iOS 6? Please help me! Thank you.

    I upgraded my iTunes to 10.7 on my MacBook Pro - after that iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S 6.0.1 (10A523) in the iTunes sidebar. Solutions?
    (Both upgrades to the phone and lap-top were done based on Apples suggestion, so I find it strange it doesn't work automatically, which should be a basic reason for choosing Apples costly products!)

    Try rebooting your computer.
    You might also try downloading and installing iTunes 11 which came out today.
