ITunes isn't recognizing my iPhone 4 or letting it sync, any ideas of what's going on? I have a Dell Inspiron 15, and the latest update of iTunes and Windows 8.1....
When I plug my iPhone into my computer iTunes doesn't even recognize that there is a device there. It's not the USB because my computer is letting me import all of my pictures and videos. Is there something wrong with the newest iTunes/Windows, or is it my phone?

iTunes won't install everything it needs to run. I remove it from my computer and reinstall it and it keeps saying it. I am using Windows 7 and the latest update from iTunes.
What does the error message say when you install iTunes and it fails?

ITunes isn't recognizing my Iphone 5, and I cannot turn the phone on to retrieve a serial number. I also cannot receive or make calls, so I can't talk with anyone about this issue. Can anyone advise?
Hi, I have just read your post and I have an echo problem like you. while I'm on a phone call I can hear the other side person but also I can hear my own voice echo slightly. Did you solve your problem?

What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes. I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!! GRRRR!!!
Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi
After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi
I have had the same issue on 2 computers with 2 different installations. This appears to be an issue with the update. Everything was syncing great until the update. I know this because I had just synced the iphone numerous times and then I did the update. As soon as the update was complete, the phone would no longer sync over WiFi. The symptoms are exactly as you describe them.

The latest update for iTunes 11.1.3, iBooks 1.0.1, Mail 1.0 won't update/install properly.
I recently installed Mavericks. The latest update for iTunes, iBooks and Mail do not install properly. I have tried updating individually and the Appstore indicates that they're installed. However after every restart the Appstore shows that the same update is available. I checked the applications folder and clicked on the 3 apps to "Get Info" and they're all still the old versions. I've repeatedly tried to update and install and the Appstore history has shown that I've tried over and over again. Any solutions would be appreciated please!
I'm having this same issue, except Mail and iBooks are both installed, but showing as need to be updated (to same version already installed several days ago). iTunes was also doing this until I manually installed it, but the other two still won't be recognized as updated. I did a sudo softwareupdate -i -a and that failed as well. So I did a
sudo softwareupdate -v --reset-ignored -l and showed this update is somehow broken

Sry for disturbing, but i would to ask that how to overcome the problem of synchronising ? Itune showing me that the sync session is failed to start with my Ipad mini. Any ideas about what is going on ?
What are you trying to sync?
I see you are on ios 7.
I also had upgraded my iPad Mini to ios 7 & then the 1st time I tried to open a Numbers file that was set up to sync w my MacBookPro, I got a warning that I would not be able to sync it any more w my Mac until I upgraded to Mavericks.
So if you are trying to sync Numbers, Pages or Keynote files between your iPad mini in ios 7 and a Mac that hasn't been upgraded to Mavericks that could be the problem.
I was very shocked to get that message since I bought Numbers on the iPad so that I could have a particular file on both devices & keep them synced. I had no clue when I upgraded to ios 7 on the iPad Mini that it would make it so the files in the iWorks apps woudln't sync any more.
So I finally decided to go ahead & upgrade to Mavericks after carefully preparing & updating other software so that it would work w Mavericks. But I got error messages so haven't even been able to download Mavericks & now having 2nd thoughts about doing so.

Error 9006 when restoring your iOS device indicates that there is security software on your computer which is preventing connection to the Apple server or your device. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the directions below.
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.

Apple TV and the latest version of iTunes 7.7 appears to have a bug...
I have an Apple TV which displayed all artists albums in the relevant album filter prior to the latest release of iTunes 7.7. Since this release although Itunes is still fine on my laptop it no longer displays all albums under the artists filter which means I can only locate an artists album by using the album filter (which takes a lot longer if you cant rememember the name of the album but only the artist). I was wondering if anyone elese has come across this issue and if its a known bug between Apple TV and the latest version of ITunes?
I have tried reinstalling ITunes on my Apple TV from scratch (by making the Apple TV revert to factory settings and then reinstalling ITunes) but still no joy... any ideas?I'm not saying you haven't looked, but for the avoidance of doubt have you actually checked that the 'Part of a compilation' checkbox under the 'info' tab of the 'get info' window isn't checked.
Under the new software, tunes that have this box checked are removed from the tv artist listings and placed under the tv compilations listing and referenced by album. Their listing under the tv albums list hasn't changed.
