  • HT1386 windows will not recognize my iphone

    I connect my iphone to my laptop and it will charge, but it will not recognize the device throgh windows or itunes. Ive tried the troubleshooting on the support site but it didnt work.

    You should wait for windows to install the device driver software. Just keep your iPhone plugged in and look for something to do for 8 minutes. If Windows doesn't attempt to install device driver software, re-install iTunes.

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • ITunes and Windows will not recognize iPod Nano 3rd Generation

    I've been on this ALL day. Neither Windows or iTunes will recognize iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.... I don't know how many times.
    iPod is new. Was ok to sync music and photos last week.. but now nothing. Any ideas anybody... this is driving me nuts.
    When plugging in iPod - it beeps and then right away says it is ok to disconnect and beeps again... and iPod goes on... and then charges up.
    I was skeptical in buying an iPod for the kids... and now am disappointed. Please somebody... change my mind!!!!

    I've been having a similar issue with my iPod. My iPod will not play songs. Basically, the song or podcast will appear on screen, but is stuck at 0:00 and will not play.
    When I connected my iPod to my computer, it was not recognized by iTunes and it did not appear in My Computer. I checked the Windows Device Manager, and the device did appear there. Strangely enough, the device did appear in My Computer as a removable disk only after I closed out Device Manager. I'm wondering if I need to restore my iPod. How do I do so without iTunes?

  • Itunes 10.5 will not recognize iphone

    Just updated to 10.5 itunes - now it will not recognize my iphone 4.3.5.  Suggestions?

    I am having this problem, but on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7.  Both my iPhone 5 and my wifes iPhone 5 are not recognized in iTunes.  Both our old iPhone 4S's come up just fine.  Any other work arounds?
    I have reinstalled iTunes, restarted both phones, and Mac.  Still not recognizable.
    EDIT: 
    Just tried the other cable from my iPhone 5 box, and it works fine.  I then tried plugging the faulty cable straight into the wall, and it gets no charge.  Faulty cable.

  • Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

    windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s

    iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s.  I need it to, so I can choose the sync via WIFI.  Plus, I am unable to download iTunes by just using WIFI and my iPhone 5s.  I checked the Computer Manager areas and the settings appear correct.  My laptop runs on Windows 8.1.

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

  • Itunes recently updated on my PC and now it will not recognize my iPhone.  How do I get it to recognize so I can sync?

    I updated iTunes this morning and afterwards I went to sync my iPhone and iTunes will not recognize the iPhone.  The computer will, but iTunes will not.  How do I get iTunes to recognize the iPhone so I can sync.  I do have the phone connected to the computer with the cable.

    Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory settings

    itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Hello mzshay2u2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac.  First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.
