iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it? OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,

MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

Computer not recognizing that my ipod is pluged in!!

I have recently reformatted my comeputer and got some new music put on my itunes and when i tried to plug in my ipod it just doesnt do anything...like the little screen on the ipod that usually sais "do not disconnect" doesnt come up...the computer doesnt even accnowladge that anything is pluged in...i tried downloading the newest ipod softwhare and that didnt work...i tried putting in the origional disk that came with it and that didnt do anything...also when i plug my ipod into the computer it drains the battery instead of charging it...suggestions??

I don't know if this might work for you guys but this is what got my problem solved. If you experience the following, the Ipod was working but suddenly it stops working (i.e. the ipod screen is totally blank no icons like battery low or whatever) and when you connect it to the computer the little sign that means do not disconnect does not appear (the pc does not recognized that the ipod is connected) then maybe this might solve your problem. Do not connect the Ipod to the computer for about 24 hours. Do not try to charge it or anything just leave it by itself let the battery drained then try it the next day and hopefully the icon of battery is low will appear then you can charge it by connecting to the pc.
This is what happened to me by accident i guess, i had given up and had realized that i had just spend two hundred dollars on something that didn't work but today i tried to turned it on and the battery is low icon appeared so i connected to the PC and now it works.
Good Luck.

Computers not recognizing that my ipod is connected

Not too long ago, my ipod froze. It was left to die therefore it could be charged back to life, and the battery did die, but now it won't charge because not a single computer is recognizing that the ipod has been connected. I've tried more than one computer, (2 PC's, 1 mac - right now it's restored to a PC), i've tried more than one cable, and I've even tried to charge it in my boyfriends car ipod charger/tuner player (and his ipod works perfectly fine on it)!
The ipod turns on, so an apple is seen on the screen, but after a few minutes while it's still on the screen, it shuts itself off and says "Please Wait Very Low Battery" but I can't charge it! I'm so confused!
I'm very confused and would like to try to fix this asap!
If anyone has any idea what to do, please, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I received some help from my brother, and searched how to put the ipod in disk mode, and so far it has been charging and is showing up in my itunes!

Windows not recognizing that my ipod is connected

Right now im annoyed!! What happened is this! I got a ipon nano for christmas and installed all the software on my mums computer at home, the ipod worked fine. I returned to my house after xmas and installed the software again, and everytime i instert my wire nothing happens, the screen on my ipod doesnt change and itunes says that no ipod is connected. I tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling, still didnt work, so then tried installing updater, but asked me to connect ipod to update, still didnt recognize my ipod. I read through all of my leaflets and noticed that it said that ipod can onloy be installed on any one computer or apple device at anytime?
So yesterday i went into the apple store, and they played around with my wire as they thought it might be the problem, they were NO help at all, just told me it worked and theres and to go home and try it, needles to say it didnt work, ive just tried my wire in my friends laptop who is an ipod shuffle and it worked fine. Now what the **** is going on?? its utterly disgraceful that these things cost so much and i cant use it!

Okay, first, lets try putting the iPod into Disk Mode then it should be recognized by the computer. Does it say "Do Not Disconnect" on the iPod when it's connected?

I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes. What can I do.

I bought a new Ipod (5th generation). I am trying to sync it to my itunes. I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered. I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod. I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail. The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did update it to the latest version. How can I get itunes to recognize my new ipod?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

ITunes does not register that my iPhone is plugged in and won't sync. Help?

I have recently uninstalled and reinstalled my iTunes because I was having issues with it. I also had to reset all my settings on my iPhone 4s this morning because of some audio issues I had. Both are now resolved. However, I would like to sync my iPhone to my computer now, even though I have some of my iCloud data on my phone. The trouble is that, while my phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open, neither iTunes nor my phone are registering the connection. Anyone able to help me figure out what is going on?
The assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I have some DVDs that I would like to watch but I am unable to watch from my ipad. can DVDs be uploaded to itunes?

I have some dvds that I would like to watch on my IPad can they be uploaded into ITunes and then viewed on my IPad?

Some commercial DVDs have the ability to purchase straight off of them through the iTunes store. But you must purchase the boxed set for those DVDs to obtain the registration code for purchase. They provide a link straight from the DVD. But otherwise, as Niel says you are basically stuck legally with only being able to make iTunes capable files from your own home made videos. Terms of use do not allow discussing ripping DVDs, so we can't say how its done even if we know how.

TS4036 I deleated pictures from my photo stream that were in albums. I did not know that when I deleated from photo stream they would automatically deleat from the album. Can I get them back?

I deleated pictures from my photo stream that were placed in albums. I did not know that by doing this I removed them from the albums as well. Is there any way to get this photos back?

Not unless they are still in your camera roll, or backed up on your computer. Photo stream photos are not automatically backed up anywhere.

I have Windows XP (SP3) and iTunes is freezing when the authorization box appears. What can I do to get iTunes to unfreeze and make a purchase?

This problem has been occuring intermittently over the last few months and I thought it was resolved with an iTunes update. It later reappeared so I updated to the latest software and still no go. Itunes will also freeze if I pull up the "de-authorize this computer" option. I am not a computer whiz so any suggestions have to be in layman's terms. Thank you for your help. I'd like to be able to update my apps via computer and also make new purchases.

Try using a different browser as a test.

What can I do to get iTunes to make my past music purchases available for re-download?

I lost my Itunes music from my computer. I've tried to re-download my iTunes purchased music from "Purchased" where they all show up but it gives me no option to download. I know that they are all in the "Cloud" because I've downloaded them to my 5s. I have tried to get iTunes chat to help me with this issue but they were pretty ...well lets just say they didn't have a clue. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so was you able to solve it? If so what did you have to do?
