Itunes doesn't see iphone

I've had to reinstall everything on my Macbook and now I try to plug in my iphone4 and itunes doesn't see it. The phone "knows" it's plugged in because it makes the noise when I plug it in.
Any tips on how I can fix this?
Thanks

  • Itunes doesn't see iphone on ios 7

    Running 7.0.4 on iPhone 4S, Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit version of 11.1.3.
    iPhone was previously detected by iTunes prior to update.
    A second iPhone 4S running iOS 6 is consistently detected without any problems.
    I have already tried all solutions given on this support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) to no avail.
    In device manager, no x or ! shows up.
    iTunes already on latest version.
    Tried multiple USB cables, all genuine. Tried multiple USB ports, all working but iPhone still doesn't show up.
    Apple Mobile Device Support is definitely installed. Tried reinstalling AMDS and iTunes. Tried restarting AMDS. No good.
    Tried installing driver from Common Files directory.
    No software changes between iOS 6 and iOS 7 update. No possibility of third party software conflict.
    Note: was able to restore the iPhone to 7.0.4 from 7.0.2 on my MacBook Pro so there's nothing wrong with the phone or cable. This is not a viable long term option for me, since the MBP is a work computer.
    Please help if you know

    Did a diagnostics test on iTunes. This first screenshot is BEFORE I plug in the iPhone.
    After plugging in the iPhone and trusting the computer (this trust popup, by the way, continuously comes up EVERY TIME I plug the iPhone into the computer. Stopped popping up after the first time I plugged into Mac but it comes up EVERYTIME on Windows), I get the User Account Control popup asking for permission. I click Yes. See the difference in following screenshot:

  • TS1591 iTunes doesn't see iPhone or iPad (all updates performed)

    I just installed OS 10.8.2 and have the most recent version of iTunes on a two year old iMac.  I'm running iOS 6 on my 4s.  I'm running 5.1.1 on my third gen iPad.  I've restarted everything a couple times, but iTunes won't recognize the iPhone or iPad.  iPhoto does see and will transfer photos off the iPhone.  The phone charges and no further software updates are available.  I've gone through Apples Troubleshooting Assistant.  Any ideas?

    I think you skipped a step:

    I know the article says for 10.6.8 and earlier but, like I said, maybe AppleMobileSupport.pkg hasn't been deleted to the Trash.

  • Itunes doesn't see my iphone 5

    Just got a new phone, but when I plug it into my MacBook Pro iTunes doesn't see it as a device. iPhoto launches, so it is not invisible. It's just iTunes that won't wake up.
    Help!

    What version Itunes and mac software are you using?  iphone 5 needs certain requirements
    Does it read when you manually open itunes?
    Itunes also has settings for it to open when your device is connected, and seeing that its new, you have to resync it.

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPhone anymore after upgrading

    After upgrading to 10.3.1.55, when I plug my iPhone into the PC, iTunes hangs up for a while and then fails with an error E8000065. After it iTunes doesn't see my iPhone. Previously all worked flawlessly. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, Allan, that's what I meant I've read almost all FAQs about that problem and executed all instructions step by step. No luck... All drivers & services are running Ok, the System log is free of errors, everything is looking fine... but doesn't work

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPhone but my computer does.

    iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in my computer but, my Computer does.  What do I do?

    Your computer should recognize the Camera Roll only, as a digital camera. iTunes must recognize it for syncing and backup.

  • ITunes doesn't see my new iPhone

    This is wierd- when I connect my new iPhone to my PowerbookG4, iPhoto pops up. But not iTunes.
    The iTunes page doesn't see iPhone is connected. So I can't sync. I believe it could be my operating system is outdated. I've tried to download updated OS, but message I get after download is 'this system can't be loaded on your computer" or something like that. I have been able to download the latest iTunes software, so that's not the problem. I was able to initially activate the iPhone on my newer desktop iMac at home... which has 10.4.whatever. But lots of my stuff is on this older G4.
    Now what

    Kurt,
    If your PowerBook G4 is running an OS that is older than 10.4 as well as an older version of iTunes, chances are, you're not going to be able to make the iPhone sync with iTunes. My advice would be to copy your songs and information to a thumb drive/CD/DVD/external hard drive and put them onto your home iMac. Since the phone obviously works with this machine, it may be your only choice.
    Sorry that I couldn't be of better assistance.

  • HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying a picture iTunes logo and a USB plug and black backgraound. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Lawrence.
    I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
    I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
    In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
    incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.
    Cheers,

  • Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does?

    Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does.

    Thank you

    It's generally recommended not to use a USB hub with the iPhone. I've used one with no problems but many have reported solving sync problems just by eliminating the hub and plugging directly into a USB2.0 port.
    I'm sure.
    The trouble is that there are too many bits of hardware that are recommended not to use a hub with. I have a PhoneValet (which won't work at all with a hub) and a set of first generation Harman-Kardon speakers (ditto). Then I need a USB port to plug the hub itself into, and that's my three USB ports used up.

  • If I connect my iphone to my pc the computer see's it as a camera and itunes doesn't see it at all

    If I connect my iphone 3gs to my pc the computer see's it as a camera but itunes doesn't see it at all, however, if I connect a friends using the same usb port and lead it connected straight away.  I've reset the phone uninstalled itunes abd re installed and I've updated the software but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    If you have photos in the Camera Roll on your iPhone and have preferences set to open an image azure application on your pc when a camera is connected, your pc will do just that. That's how one transfers photos taken with the phone to a PC.
    You can do two things to avoid this.
    1. Just quit the image capture application and open iTunes. You do have iTunes 10.7 or higher installed on your pc, right?
    2. You can change the preferences on your pc to do nothing when a camera is connected. And you can set the preference in iTunes to open iTunes when your iPhone is connected.
