ITunes no longer recognises my iphone

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help.
Until today, my iphone has synced fine with my itunes.
But when I connected it today, instead of itunes recognising it, I heard 3 beeps (flat notes which instinctively signify that something is not right) and my iphone does not appear in itunes and therefore does not sync.
Does anyone have any tips for sorting this?
Many thanks

Don't know if you got the answer to help but I just had this problem.
On my PC, I had to remove my softwear, Itunes, Quicktime, and all the apple mobil softwear in the control panel. Then I needed to throw the Itune folder away.
Next I needed to do a comple clean install.
But remember to put you collection of music and movies into a differant folder so you could import it after the new install.
Here is the link that helped me, good luck!

  • ITunes no longer recognises my iPhone 4s

    iTunes no longer recognises my iPhone 4s phone shows that it is being charged but does not show in devices list in iTunes am unable to sync. Have tried trouble shooting suggestions with no joy??? any help would be appreciated

    Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the computer, not plugged into a hub.
    If that doesn't do it, try running through this Apple doc -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
    If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.

  • PC no longer recognises my iPhone after trying to update to iOS 5...Help!?!?

    When returning from popping out of the house, as the Back UP and Update was taking forever, I came home to find that my iPhone has updated to iOS 5 but failed to Restore itself.  On top of this my PC no longer recognises my iPhone and issues a message 'USB Device Not Recognized'.  Now I have tried several attempts at fixing this, reinstalling iTunes, disabling and re-enabling USB Drives but nothing seems to work.  So I am now left with an empty phone, no contacts nothing, which can't even connect to my PC.
    Any Ideas???????????????????

    I had the same problem, I shut down the computer, disconnected it, etc... nothing helped. I went to the Apple store and they fixed it by restoring my phone to factory defaults and then updating. When I got home I connected to Itunes and it synched all my information back to the phone. If you have synched your information to Icloud you have to do it there!

  • PC and iTunes no longer recognize my iPhone 4?

    Hoping someone can help as I'm completely at a loss and super frustrated.
    My PC & iTunes no longer "see" my iPhone 4 when I connect it to my computer. I've tried all my USB ports- they all charge my phone, but it does not show up in device manager, etc. I have also tried updating iTunes, reinstalling iTunes, restarting my iPhone, completely charging iPhone before plugging in, restarting my computer a billion times, and making sure it is not conflicting with any security software. I've also gone into MSconfig and followed these directions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275. Nothing has worked.
    I am running Windows XP Media 2002 SP2. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3. I connected my phone to my computer back in January before updating to 6.1.3 and computer recognized phone just fine. Have not tried to plug in since, but now I really would like to pull the pictures off my phone and start fresh.. But can't.
    Help?

    Have you tried connecting the phone to another computer? You can try to connect to another computer that has iTunes connected. Make sure that computer does not have iTunes set to automatically sync. After that, you should be able to import your pictures from the Camera Roll via the Scanner and Camera Wizard for older versions of Windows, or via the Import manager in the newer versions of Windows.
    Have you checked to make sure your Windows is up to date? Is SP2 the latest update for that version of XP? While you say that you did connect to the computer some time in the past, the tech specs for the iPhone 4 show that Windows XP needs to be SP3.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4

    I have had 3 iOS devices connecting to iTunes on Windows for more than 4 months.  For some reason iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4.  My iPad and iPhone 4S still work as they should.  Windows sees the iPhone 4, but it never shows up in iTunes.  I followed the advice for getting services restarted in Windows, but since it's only one device that's an issue I'm thinking there may be an issue in the iPhone 4.  Ideas?

    try this, it worked for me...

  • ITunes no longer reads my iPhone or iPad when plugged in.  I have iCloud but some teaching mp3 no longer transfer from computer to devices.

    For years I have been able to share all my audio files between my phone, pod, & iPad.  Since iCloud and Match, iTunes no longer transfers mp3 files that it sees as not music.  When I do plug in my iPhone and iPad, iTunes no longer reads my iPhone and iPad as a device.  How can I get my mp3 files that are teaching tapes back on my mobile devices?
