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...

    In order for you to solve this problem you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
    1'st step is to go into the device manager
    2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
    3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
    4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

  • 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 attached iPhone or iPad

    I currently run OS X 10.9.5 with iTunes 12.0.1.26 on an early 2009 iMac. With the latest update of iTunes, which I think *****, it no longer recognizes either my iPhone 5 or my iPad Mini (Retina) when plugged into the Mac. It was working, and now it isn't. It won't even sync via WiFi at this point.

    It seems to work again after a clean shutdown and reboot. Should not happen.

  • My itunes no longer recognizes my iphone

    I have a 3G iphone - and have had no trouble synching with my computer until yesterday.  Itunes no longer lists my iphne in the left hand column, even though my computer(Windonws) recognizes the device.  Any suggestions or help? It woudl be appreciated!

    Thanks Jason, I will give it another shot and let you know how it turns out. This is the most helpful reply I have seen so far, nothing has even mentioned the AppleMobileDevice extension/receipts. Even iSync will not recognize the iPhone either. I suspect it has to be something in iTunes that is wiggy. Just noticed some weird sync issues with my AppleTV in the past few days.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone

    Just upgraded to a 5s from an iPhone 5. Used my previous backups from the 5 to configure the 5s from iTunes no problem, it recognised it fine for first couple days.
    Then I decided to build an app to it with XCode. It didn't recognize it.  It's organiser still listed my previous phone, and since they shared the same name, I renamed the new phone to avoid confusion. Once I did that, iTunes stop recognizing it, and can't see it at all any more.
    Here's the details.
    a) I have NOT done any builds or anything to the phone with XCode, since it wasn't recognized.
    b) I've restarted my mac and iTunes multiple times.
    c) I've renamed the phone back to the previous name.
    d) I'm running the very latest versions of everything, iOS, Mavericks, iTunes.
    Any ideas on how to get iTunes to recognise my new phone (or XCode, but i figure iTunes is first priority, if I solve that XCode might work too).

    Pretty simple solution. Make sure your USB cable is firmly plugged into your computer, not the wall charger.

  • Why does my Itunes no longer recognize my Iphone 4s?

    Just recently my Iphone (when plugged in to my Windows PC) does not show up on my Itunes. An "IPHONE" tab used to appear in the corner next to the "Itunes store" tab after i connected it, but now not any more. It does still charge my Iphone and when connected it does still ask if the Iphone can "trust" this computer. its done that before and when i would press "trust" it connected just fine, but now when i press "trust" it makes the "disconnecting" sound.the same sound that it makes when i disconnect from my pc. and no device appears on my itunes.
    Ive tried different USB cables and tried it without my otterbox on it and still. It seems like its not syncing because theirs a glich with the "Trust"-"Dont Trust" notification.. whats up?

  • I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod although I can see the iphone but NOT the iPod on the computer (windows 8.1 Pro).  I checked everything , cable, services, stop and start and automatice, etc.and went through all the steps on the apple support site, to include removing all apple software in the designated order and reinstalling it.  iTunes still doesn't see the iphone.
    The Apple iPhone shows up only under protable Devices in the Device Manager window and has a Yellow ! warning triangle, and there is no Apple USB controller in the devices menu.under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When I look under the properties of the Apple iphone, it says in Device Status, to reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).
    When I do this,  I get the following: "Windows found driver softweare for you device but encountered an error when attempting to install it" Apple Mobile Device Driver One of the installers for th this device cannot perform the installation at this time. I tried both suggested locations on the C: drive.
    Also I can't seem to find out how to install the Apple USB Contoller or is that related to the problem above?
    The iphone and my ipod work fine with this version of itunes on Windows 7 on my laptop.  is it possible that I am missing a critical update from Microsoft on the driver and USB controller?  I have been leery of installing them since my computer had problems with some updates in January.
    I 've tried every thing listed in this forum, I think, and the Apple support page on this subject.  Please help!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

    I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives? How do I get iTunes to show the device?

    With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.
