Itunes not recognizing my devices after installing 11.1.4

As per itunes message to update to latest version, I updated to 11.1.4 on my PC. I'm running windows 8.1, 64 bit. After updating and restarting computer, itunes will not recognize any of my devices. iphone4s, ipod touch 5g, ipod touch 4g. The devices "are" recognized on the computer when plugged in via usb. I guess this would indicate that the usb cables and the drivers are good.
All of my itunes libraries for the associated devices open up just fine. All of the contents are in tact. It's just that the device is not recognized in itunes when opened. Any suggestions would be much appeciated.

Windows 8.1, 64bit
It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install.  It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

  • Itunes not recognizing my ipod after restoring it

    My ipod decided to go crazy on me, so I followed the 5 r's. After restoring the ipod it is no longer being recognized. I have restarted my computer, downloaded the latest software, used different usb ports but to no avail.
    There is no icon in devices that pops up. When i run a diagnostic is states that an ipod is connected.
    Any helps?

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

  • Windows XP does not recognise USB devices after installing itunes 7.2

    After downloading itunes 7.2 my PC no longer recognises my ipod nano (2G, 2Gig). Uninstalling itunes 7.2 and reverting to a previous version makes no difference.
    On top of this my PC no longer recognises my external USB 2.0 HDD.
    Uninstalling and allowing windows to rediscover USB devices \ hubs etc as per MS recomendations has not resolved my problem
    Both devices function with no issues when plugged into my laptop.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this will be greatly received!
    Many thanks

    Power down and wait... does not solve the "USB Device Not Recognized" problem in my desktop running XP Professional.
    All five USB Root Hubs are stucked. I tried uninstalled them all and let XP to find new devices but afterwards the problem still remains.
    By the way, I have a thousand songs stored in the iPod Nano (2nd generation). Will iPod reset erase all my songs?

  • Why is Itunes not recognizing my devices??

    I updated my Itunes two days ago to iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit).  Now my itunes will not recognize my Ipad or Iphone 5.  I have iOS 7.0.4.
    I have Windows 8.  My computer is a Dell.  It is about six months old.  I have two different cables, and tried both.  It will import my photos, so I know my computer is seeing the two devices, but nothing beyond that.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have shut down and restarted multiple times.  I checked and I do not have a driver issue on my computer.  Everything worked just fine before I did the update....
    I have tried everything I can think of.  I tried to Bluetooth versus using the cord, but for some reason I am unable to do that so that is not an option. 
    HELP!!!

    Hello, Angiinkc. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • ITunes not recognizing my files after move to new Powerbook

    Just moved all my stuff over to my new computer (Powerbook G4) using migration assistant and while everything else seems to be working fine, iTunes is not recognizing the folder with all my songs in it, called "iTunes Music" in my iTunes folder in my Music directory. Any ideas why it's not being seen? I'd hate to import them, since I believe iTunes would be making copies of each song.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. I'm on iTunes 4.7.1 on a new Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4. I was using a Powerbook G4 rental with OS 10.4.2 that I'm about to return. It's in the process of being zero'd out so I can't check the iTunes version but I think it was running iTunes 4.9, now that I think about it. I guess it was my mistake to think a brand new Powerbook would be running software more recent that a rental.
    I didn't do any replacing of the music folder, since I used an automated "mover" program that ran when I first started this machine called "Migration Assistant" or something like that that did an amazing job of moving everything over from the rental to this new one. It was just like I was on the rental--my desktop, applications, dock, and everything else was set up the way it was before, with the exception, it seems, of iTunes.
    iTunes started as if it were opening for the first time and looks that way. None of my songs show up, though they're in my user folder in Music > iTunes> iTunes Music, each album in a separate folder inside, including the albums I bought through iTunes. Still, no playlists or songs show within my iTunes application, nor does the "purchased music" category show up at all (typical, I guess, when it doesn't think you've yet purchased anything).
    Also in my iTunes folder is:
    - a file called iTunes 4 Music Library
    - a file called iTunes Library
    - a file called iTunes Library.xml
    - a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries which contain an iTunes 3 Music Library and and iTunes 4 Music Library. Both of these are documents, not folders.
    I'm hoping there's a way to trick iTunes into seeing this stuff, maybe moving everything out, upgrading and then moving them back in some way? Thanks for the help! Have a kids birthday party in a few hours and hoping to use my iTunes to make some playlists and maybe buy some more songs.
    By the way, I have an iPod that I synched to the rental recently. Might be missing some playlists but all the music is on that, too.
    Thanks!
    Bob

  • Itunes not recognizing my iphone after the new update. Help!

    Ok, so after my old dinosaur computer finally finished updating and restoring my iphone4 with the new software, everything seems ok with the exception of about 20 ringtones that didn't get restored over. So I go to replug in my phone and I get an error message saying "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."
    WHAT???? I just updated the stupid phone for hours and now it does  this? So now it's not even being recognized in my itunes window. Anyone???

    Envision99 is nearly correct.
    First thing to try is to re-install iTunes (download it HERE and run the installer) - but, there's no need to uninstall it first. If that does not correct the problem, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS, as described in this linked kbase article.

  • ITunes not recognizing my ATV after a Windows update

    Sorry to start a new thread here, but my ATV is all of a sudden not appearing in my iTunes devices list. The only thing that has happened from last night, when it was working and syncing just fine, and right now is that my computer restarted after an automatic Windows update overnight. The following updates were installed:
    - MS Office Compatibility Service Pack 2
    - Update for Windows Vista (KB968389)
    - 2007 MS Office Suite Service Pack 2
    - MS .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack1 and .NET Framwork 3.5 Family Update
    and
    - Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.63.1684.0)
    I have made no changes to settings or anything, so perhaps something was changed in the course of one of these updates. I have already tried some of the basic things, including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and restarting the ATV, to no avail. iTunes and ATV both have been running in most current versions with no problems until now. I am hesitant to do a factory restore on the ATV, as I have done this once before and it resulted in my ATV being nothing more than an expensive brick...until my ATV magically appeared in iTunes when I purchased a new computer. Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't work proced :
    - Uninstall Flip for Mac.
    - Restart the machine.
    - Uninstall Perian.
    - Restart the machine.
    - uninstall the Divx codec.
    - Restart the machine.
    - Only install Perian and restart it should work with me finally it works now.
    - same to Flip for Mac and restart.
    - deselected the "Load External Subtitles" option in Perian's preference pane.

  • ITunes not recognizing my iPhone after I updated my OS to Leopard

    I have been successfully syncing my iPhone 3G for many months now. But this week I updated my OS to 10.5.6 and ran all the additional updates. Now when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't see it. I have iTunes 8 installed. I have shut down and restarted my machine and my iPhone several times.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  • ITunes not recognizing previous library after System Recovery

    Hi - My computer was recently infected with some very nasty malware and the only sure way to clear it was to perform a complete wipe and restore to factory settings. I have always kept my iTunes music folder on an external drive so I assumed the files would be safe.
    Once the system was reset and secure, I downloaded iTunes. When I 1st clicked on it, iTunes searched my computer for music and found only the few files that come with Microsoft Media Player because I had not yet connected my external drive. Tonight I plugged in the drive with all my music and changed the location of my iTunes Music Folder to its previous location on the external drive under the Advanced tab in Preferences, but iTunes isn't recognizing my original library.
    I checked the Help in iTunes and tried connecting my iPod to see if that would trigger recognition of my library. Instead, it said my iPod was synched to another library and gave me the option of wiping it and synching with the (now empty) new library or only synching purchases from the iPod to the new library. Since my iPod is only synched with a fraction of my files, it seemed like this still would get me nowhere so I exited without doing anything.
    So, how can I get my original library back? All of the files are right there on the drive. I should note that I also have an iPhone 3G which hasn't been synched since my PC was 1st infected 4 weeks ago. Should I uninstall iTunes and dowload it again now that my external drive containing all the files is connected? Thanks in advance for your help with this. - Scott

    I haven't made any headway on my specific problem, but have seen many other posts on moving libraries from one PC to another or saving them to external drives before a reformat. I should add that the nature of the infection on PC was so severe that it was feared it would jump to (and then hide) in any external hard drive or flash drive so it could then re-infect any clean system. Because of this, I was unable to copy the original .itl file from my C drive before it was wiped. So, what I have now is the external drive which was the location of my iTunes Music folder as well as my iPhone Photo Cache and iPhone photos. I have a 40 gig iPod with all of my original playlists and a portion of my music (I only synched certain songs to manage space). I also have my iPhone 3G with a few of those same playlists as well as my applications. SO, the question is, can I rebuild my library from what I've got? If so, how? I've been searching for answers, but none seem to approximate my problem so any help is appreciated. Thanks - Scott

  • Itunes not playing entire song after installing new version

    I installed Win7 Pro 64-bit and subsequently installed the latest version of iTunes.  Now iTunes is cutting off the last minute or so of my songs.  Why???

    i had this too, the only way I was able to solve it was to rebuild my library, ***** but is the only way.
    Most likely you will experience that new songs informations are no longer stored and it will run determination for gapless playback on every startup of iTunes!
