Itunes is not recognizing my new iphone as a device
I got the 4S, and before I synced that, I synced my old phone to the computer to back it up, and now when I plug the new phone in, Itunes does not recognize it, and am unable to restore my data to the new phone?
Can any one help
There is no need to unplug the new Apple TV in order to delete the old one in iTunes preferences. You don't need to add the new Apple TV to iTunes in the way that you did with the previous Apple TV.
Have you set up homesharing yet.

The iPhone communcates differently from iPods, so the fact that an iPod connects is no guarantee that everything is working. -
ITunes is not recognizing my new Apple TV in device list.
I upgraded fro 1st gen Apple TV to a new Apple TV and iTunes 11.1 is not recognizing it in the device list on Tunes. When I open Preferences it says it is synching, but it shows it as my 1st gen unit.

Purchased a iPhone 5 to replace a 3, itunes is not recognizing the new phone. All of my email accounts and calendars have switched, what do I need to do to be able to access apps?
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone:
Apple - Support - iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant, continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each section.
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. iTunes 10 and later requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later.
Update to the latest version of iTunes and Install software updates on your Mac.
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you are not sure if your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications. Disconnect other USB devices, and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac. -

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?
Hello there, Underwriter.
The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Particularly of note for your situation:
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

When I connect my iPad to my iMac I get a repetitive flashing error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." iPhoto eventually launches but iTunes will not launch iTunes. iPad will not charge. Restarted iMac and rebooted iPad and no difference.

"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
This is the third time in a week I've had iTunes get stuck with a message saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.".
I keep hitting "OK", but the message continues. Force quitting and then restarting iTunes does nothing. Force quitting and turning off my iPhone did nothing. I think I need to shut down my iPhone and then reboot. That's what I did the other two times.
Is there a permanent fix for this problem?It's an iTunes 12 bug... Not sure who's responsible for usbmuxd at Apple, but they should be fired! This was extensively discussed and worked out here: itunes 12 will not recognize iphone
All credit to oskapt, who's post detailed the entire issue. The short version is a recent version of usbmuxd has a programming error that leads it to never close any connection. At the same time, it's constantly making new connections too. The end result is this background process actually hits the built-in UNIX limit on open connections by a single process (to prevent bugs like this from ultimately crashing an entire computer), and is blocked by design from functioning after that point. Once usbmuxd fails, iTunes can't see your iOS devices.
The fix is to quit usbmuxd, either via Activity Monitor or Terminal. It will automatically relaunch, and work again until it hits the limit. That thread has several suggestions for automated scripts to run every 24-48 hours to prevent this. Hopefully an OS X or iTunes update will fix this, but it's been known for several months so far without any action on Apple's part. You'd think they'd want to make their flagship products actually "just work" together.
Then again, quality control at Apple has been going downhill for quite some time and is now getting pretty embarrassing. See this (somewhat off-the-cuff and hyperbolic) post by Marco Arment or this (more reasonable) post by Craig Hockenberry for the take of two third-party developers concerned for the drop in Apple's software quality lately.
Hope this fixes it! -
ITunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected
A few days ago, my iPad 3 A1430 screen turned black. Siri was still there but very slow to respond. The following day, the screen display returned (the usual green background colour but a much smaller display and not a single icon present). Siri was back up to speed, could play music, display info but could not respond to calendar enquiries etc. The iPad would switch off but not reboot. I let the battery level drop to zero then re-charged: iPad now working again.
Wanting to back-up my iPad, I ran iTunes version 12.1.0.50 on iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2). I have PCemulator installed and when the iPad connection was made, I received the usual screen prompt for which to connect to Mac or PC. (The problem starts here: - the prompt was flashing on/off). I selected Mac & received the message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Rebooted PC and iPad, connecting iPad offers no device prompt, only the same error message.
Successfully backed up iPhone 6 using iTunes.
Upgraded iPad software to IOS 8.2 and connected again. No effect, same error message.
Looked at various Apple posts but couldn’t find a solution. After several iMac & iPad reboots, eventually managed to back-up my iPad and in the process lost all my iPad music built up over the years on my old PC. Managed to recover these music files from my old PC and load them onto iTunes on my iMac. Tried to sync my iPad but back to error message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Any solution?I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.

When I plug my iPhone 4 in to my MacBook Pro, it charges but it is not recognised in iTunes.
After about 30 seconds I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
The device still charges but is not recognised.
I've obviously tried restarting both devices / programs. I'm running the laters versions of iTunes and iOS on my iPhone. I've tried all the steps in the troubleshooting pages, and i've re installed iTunes. Stil no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!I am having a very similar issue with my iPhone 5.
Yesterday I took it to the Apple Store as the battery was draining rapidly, and had the phone restored from an iCloud backup. Everything but my music was synced, and when I returned home to sync my music, the iPhone is only being recognised by iPhoto and I am having error messages from iTunes that the iPhone is not recognised and is unresponsive. I have tried everything I have found online, including trying to connect my phone to my work computer with similar messages.
Please help! -
why does my itunes say "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out"? I just want to sync my iphone with my itunes. please help
If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

TS1814 itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out
itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out
The soft boot (home button and power button) probably works.
I just did a hard boot by turning off power to my Ipad Air.
The device time out is a USB error from what I have read.
I am guessing the Ipad air has yet to recognize the type of USB port it is connected to over the usb cable.
Rebooting by soft reboot or a hard reboot causes it to sense the USB port and adapt accordingly.
