  • Itunes/laptop wont recognise Iphone

    My itunes/laptop wont recognise my Iphone 4s since Itunes update. It would let me charge and makes a funny noise when I try to connect. I've deleted Itunes and restarted again, rebooted my phone, reset it, and checked my firewall and still nothing..

    That just happened to me too which caused my iphone to restore.  Now its locked.  My apple id isn't working to restore my phone.

  • When syncing iphone, turned itunes match off, itunes doesn't recognise iphone :S

    Fed up of the glithcy iTunes match on iphone, so turned it off and so I could sync music from itunes, but after i turn itunes match off, itunes no longers recognises my iphone and says it is a new device and needs restoring? Turn itunes match back on and it fine with itunes? Guess it's another bug with itunes match! Hope they sort it out soon!

    Does the device is recognized in a different user account or on a different computer?
    You could try to follow iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X or reset the sync services OS X: Resetting Sync Services.

  • ITunes won't recognise iPhone 3GS (Vista 32bit)

    Hi.
    I brought a 32gb iphone 3 days ago from the carphonewarehouse and the guy said in the store O2 will activate the phone within the next 24hours. Fine.
    Waited 24 hours then tried to sync the iphone to my windows vista Pc with itunes all loaded up, but itunes wouldn't recognise the iphone at all.I have spoken to o2 4 times and apple tech twice for 2hours each, doing complete removal of all apple/itunes related stuff then reinstalled itunes. I did this 3 complete times, and still itunes won't recognise the iphone even with the lastest itunes.
    If i go onto My Computer the actual PC itself picks it up but itunes won't.
    I ran a diagnostics test on itunes to find that under Ports:it says "NO iPhone or iPod found"
    The next test :iPhone/iPod Touch sync tests
    Results: No iPhone/iPod Touch found?
    ALL the other diagnostic tests i did showed all GREEN just these two are RED,which i am now?
    So yesterday mum and I decided to try and download itunes on my mums work laptop as a last resort since it won't work on my Desktop Pc.
    Downloaded the lastest iTunes from apple then synced the iphone, IT picked it up instantly (at this time the iphone haden't been activated but it has now thanks to my mums laptop.)I just ran through the procedures then, tried to sync it to my Desktop Pc. I had no luck. Same again itunes carn't recognise it at all. I need to get it synced to my desktop PC becuase i have over 1000 songs and over 20 movies on my itunes.
    I just don't know what to do, would appreciate some insight :confused:
    Thanks.

    Greetings,
    Make sure to run the Apple Update routine on the PeeCee - the PeeCee can be such a royal pain, and even though you aren't required to reboot, I would, as Winblows doesn't pick up on updates as it should.
    The next trick would be to reinstall iTunes.
    Good Luck - Cheers,

  • Help! Restore needed but iTunes won't recognise iPhone

    This morning, my phone's decided it needs to be restored. However when I try to connect to iTunes I get this message :
    'iTunes cannot activate your iPhones because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone.'
    Needless to say, I don't use a SIM PIN, and I've tried 3 times so far to switch off & on and I get the same thing every time. Can anyone help please?

    Exactly the same problem with my 5 month old iPhone. Suddenly one morning it claimed that there wasn’t any simcard in the phone or it needed activation. When I connected it to iTunes I couldn’t do a thing.
    But, the tip about holding standby/powerbotten and home at the same time and thereafter holding home worked and iTunes recognized my phone and was able to do a restore.

  • ITunes does not recognise iPhone 5s on Windows 8

    I have the latest version of iTunes and also the latest version of OS for iPhone 5s (7.1).
    I have only noticed this problem since these updates. My iPhone is recognised by my Windows 8 OS in Computer and I can import pictures/videos, however, iTunes will not identify the device.
    I have ran the diagnostics tests via iTunes and followed all recommended suggestions but to no avail.
    Reboot iPhone
    Reboot Laptop
    Uninstall iTunes & re-install
    Stoped apple mobile device service and restarted
    reinstalled drivers
    iTunes Helper is running
    Disable all startup items
    Deleted Temp folder
    Temporarily disable firewall
    Does anyone have any suggestions other than the above that I could try please?
    Thank you
    Pete

    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    restart pc after uninstall

  • ITunes doesn't recognise iPhone after switching back from Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've searched Google and this message board for this issue, but haven't found any mention of it.
    Here's the problem:
    I have Windows 7 installed on a boot camp partition. Any time I switch into Windows 7 and then back to Mac OS X (latest version of Snow Leopard) iTunes (both 9 and 10) refuses to recognise my iPhone, meaning I can't sync or transfer any files to my iPhone 4.
    The only way I've found to solve the problem is to reinstall iTunes, which is really not a good solution. Rebooting into OS X from OS X doesn't work either.
    Has anyone else come across this issue and/or found a fix for it?
    I don't use iTunes on Windows 7, or even have it installed (although I did try installing it to fix this problem, and that didn't work either)
    Any help appreciated!
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hello again, GiannisFromAthens.
    At this point, considering that the primary issue is with getting the Windows update resolved, we need to get that taken care of first. To do so you may need to consult Microsoft, or whoever supports the installation of Windows on your computer, for more troubleshooting to resolve it.
    Once that is resolved, if you are still experiencing the issue, you may find better information by using another of Apple's Support resources at https://expresslane.apple.com/GetProductGroupList.action for a more hands on response.
    Cheers,

  • New update - Itunes no longer recognises IPhone

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded my version of itunes last night on Windows XP Home. After I rebooted and installed the new version my Iphone does not show up in itunes. I tried re-authorizing the computer, rebooting, uninstalling/deleting the folders and i've also tried installing an older version of itunes.
    Nothing seems to be working. Any one have any ideas????
    thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Called support and they helped get it all straightened out.

  • TS1591 Itunes doesn't recognise iphone 5s on iMac

    All of a sudden my iTunes won't regognise my iPhone 5s.  It's a 64g & almost full, but there's almost a gig spare.  I backed it up this morning and it said it was all good in iTunes, but iPhoto froze mid way through the upload so I force quit it.  Not too keen on restoring to factory settings.  Anyone have any advice?  Could it be from downloading a dodgy app or visiting a dodgy site? 

    Try plugging in to a different USB port next. 
    After trying that try uninstalling your iTunes then reinstalling. There's like 6 components to iTunes and they have to be deleted in a specific order. Use this article to do so correctly http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    After deleting download only from apple.com/iTunes to ensure its the latest version.

  • ITunes dosen't recognize iPhone?

    I have no idea why it stopped recognizing it...
    It still charges and iPhoto still recognizes it...
    Tried un(re)installing iTunes.
    Tried switching USB ports.
    Tried turning computer off
    Tried restoring iPhone..
    Nothing works, I know the USB port is not broken because other devices work fine.

    Tried restoring iPhone..
    How did you restore the phone if iTunes can't recognize it? Try holding the Home button down when plugging it in and see if you can enter recovery mode. Then restore.
