ITunes is not recognizing iPhone, iTunes is not recognizing iPhone

I am having no luck getting iTunes to recognize my iPhone. Is there anything that I can do so that I can transfer my music from phone to computer.

Do you have the latest ITunes 11.0.1?

  • IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

    Hi
    My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
    Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
    This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
    Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
    cheers, Roland

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.

  • IPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for PC

    My iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.  This for a PC.  Occurs even when connected by cable.  WiFi sync was stopped and then this started.

    Try iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

    I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
    My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
    Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
    I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
    The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
    The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

    Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

  • IPhone 3G is not recognized by iTunes installed on MAC PRO

    I have attempted to connect iTunes after Mac Pro system restore with iPhone 3G, but iTunes does not recognize any connection from iPhone. When I plug iPhone into my MacBook Pro iTunes immediately recognizes iPhone and begins sync process. I restored iPhone software while on MacBook Pro, but did not sync MacBook Pro iTunes. With factory settings restored, I attempted to sync iPhone with Mac Pro iTunes and again iPhone was not recognized by iTunes iPhone connected via USB. Any suggestions?

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks

  • When I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device.  I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time, the device is not recognized.

    What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
    You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

  • IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

    The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
    I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
    I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.

    My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
    All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
    So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
    Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
    I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
    Thanks for the help.
    I'll post my findings/results.

    my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

    Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

    After you dry the iPod:
    How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
    Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 5 is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes (OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5)

    I am helping a friend with her new iPhone 5.
    Issue is that it is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes.
    iPhone 5 16GB, iOS 6.1.4
    OSX 10.6.8v1.1, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5
    Computer: iMac C2D 2.4 GHz (Early 2008)(iMac8,1), 1 GB RAM,
    History, recently updated in-place from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.8v1.1 SL, just for the iPhone 5.
    Installed iTunes 10.7 (as we do not like interface and loss of separate Playlist view in iTunes 11).
    Noted that iPhone 5 stipulates that iTunes 10.7 or higher is required -- So should be OK there.
    Initially iPhone was recognized by both iPhoto and iTunes. Then shortly later, iTunes did not see it anymore, was missing from iTunes Devices list.
    Called Apple Support, agent walked us through removing iTunes and the iTunes Receipt packages.
    Then Reinstalled iTunes 10.7. Ran Permissions Repair. Restarted computer.
    Seemed all good, iTunes (10.7) saw and synced and updated the iPhone.
    But Now, after two or three weeks, when user plugged in her iphone and ran iTunes, it did not show the iPhone at all, though iPhoto did start up and show pictures.
    So the iMac computer sees the iPhone5 well enough to get picture data, but apparently not well enough for iTunes sync.
    (she tends to use the wall charger and not plug it into the iMac very much at all).
    In all other known respects, both the iPhone5 and the iMac C2D seem to function normally.
    Any thoughts?
    I looked at KB article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    And at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X).
    And finally am thinking we may need to ALSO do the uninstall via: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (Remove Apple Mobile Device Service).  But I have not visited with here to do that yet.........)
    Any thoughts on best way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    What error message ar eyou getting. Why do you say it will not allow you to download?
    Verify you meet all the system requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

    Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
    iTunes 10.3.1
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs.  I have tried the following steps:
    -Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software.  Did not work.
    -Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
    -Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
    -Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
    -Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
    I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked!  Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
    Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone).  This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes.  It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
    I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again.  This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze.  I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
    One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
    Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

    Nope, haven't been able to fix it.  I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt.  They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
    So frustrating.  I can't get apps to sync either.
    At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
    For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
