This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

My computer and itunes app do not see my iphone when I plug it into either USB port on the computer. The cable works because I can hear the iphone start charging off the computer. But there is no indication of the device in itunes or on my hard drive device list. Any ideas?
Have no idea what you mean by "basic stuff". Try EVERYTHING in this support article:

I have the iPhone 5s and cannot connect to iTunes. It always says 'iPhone device timed out' and never connects. How do I fix it?
Hi Kaitlynlh,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your device is timing out, I would try restarting the iPhone and attempting to connect again. If the issue still persists, try resetting as well. You can find instructions here:

we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?
Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes. On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced. This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID. However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps. This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store. -
I deleted the photos from my iPhone 6 that were synced from my computer automatically but it is still using my storage. How do i fix that? I have tried all of the steps listed in the community.i have the new iTunes 10.
Hi QuisB123,
If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When I plug my iPod Touch 4g into my computer I get a pop-up that says "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." And when I plug in my iTouch the name of the iTouch does not come up on my iTunes. How do I start the Apple Mobile Device? How do I fix this?

when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular album has multiple albums, it does not separate the albums but lines up all of the songs...such as all the 1's..then 2's and so on. How do I fix that?

Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?
