ITunes Update won't recognize my iPhone

I have an iPhone 3GS 32gb (running iOS 5.0) that up until an hour ago was recognized by iTunes.
I recently installed the new 10.5.2 update and since i started running that it can't tell when my phone is plugged in via USB.
Any ideas on a fix or should i just go back to the previous version?

ITunes still won't recognize my iPhone after I've followed every step

I purchased an iPhone4 off of a friend, he had completely restored it back to its factory settings before he sold it to me.
When I connected it to my iTunes it had asked to update it, so I did to 6.1.3. Now Every time I plug it into my computer it asks me to restore it, I click restore and it says it's updating, takes 4 hours then says there was an error. I've googled this and gone through all the steps and nothing is working. My iTunes still won't recognize my iPhone.
I had tried it on my brothers iTunes and it says "pairing record missing"
I also looked that up, followed all the different steps and nothing helped.
I've tried updating my iTunes, every time I try it crashes and says it "failed to install". nothing at all is working and I'm getting very frustrated and losing my faith in apple...
If anyone has any other idea, or advice, PLEASE let me know. it would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you
btw: I've tried the unplugging, rebooting, bluetoothing, everything I saw in the other forums and nothing helped.

why would your be frustrated and losing your faith with Apple? Sounds like your friend sold you a jailbroken phone.

ITunes update won't see my iPhones

I just updated to iTunes 12.1.2 and it won't see either of my 2 iPhones. They just show up in Windows explorer as Apple iPhone and the phones ask me if I want to trust the computer. Why won't iTunes see my phones?

ITunes 11 won't recognize my iPhone 4S.

I recently restored my laptop back to Windows 7 factory settings. After I re-installed iTunes, I started getting an error message when I open it. "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
Before I installed iTunes, my computer would recognize my phone and begin charging when I plugged it in. Now neither my computer or iTunes will recognize it. I've already reinstalled iTunes about 3 times, unplugged my phone and plugged it back in, restarted my computer, and every other simple solution. I don't know what to do. Help please!

I also receive this error message from Windows concerning my phone.
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

New iTunes update won't recognize my computer

I just uploaded the new iTunes update for my pc and when I go to play a song I get a message saying that this computer is not authorized to play my iTunes songs. So I enter my password to "authorize" this computer and a message comes up saying that the computer IS ALREADY authorized. But it still wont let me play my songs. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and re authorize it and I still get the same message. Can't seem to find a button that will allow my undo the last update.

Nevermind.
Had to delete the purchased song. Sync my ipod with my computer. redownload the song and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. I can listen to the song through my pc and dont have to keep reauthorizing my computer

Itunes 10 won't recognize my iphone 3G

i just have a basic iphone 3g and until recently itunes recognized it. i tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing with the recent itunes 10 version. when i plug my iphone into any usb port on my computer windows will recognize it and charge my phone, but it doesn't show up in my itunes. it also allows me to take my pictures off when autoplay pops up, but that's it. when i plugged in my iphone and opened itunes nothing shows up on the left side bar. only an alert window pops up saying itunes isn't the default player and would i like to change that . i have another media player that i normally use to play/organize my music, but i thought maybe if i made itunes the default player instead it would help. it didn't change anything. now every so often when i plug my iphone in and open itunes a window pops up saying "itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. reconnect or try again later." i've gone through all the troubleshooting suggestions on the apple site and nothing seems to work. i'm hoping someone on here can help.

ITunes 12 won't recognize my iPhone 5. Says the phone is locked with a passcode when there isn't a passcode

Tried restarting the phone. Didn't help.
Every time I connect the phone with the cable, the question to trust the MacBookPro comes up, which I answer 'Trust'. Doesn't help.
Tried restarting the mac. Didn't help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated- Thanks !

Hi bhorv67,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below explains the troubleshooting steps to take when your iPhone repeatedly asks to trust the MacBook Pro:
'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202778
'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Learn about trusting computers with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
When you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new computer or another device attempting to access the files of your iOS device, you'll see an alert asking you to verify that you trust the connected device. If you tap Trust, you'll allow this device to access files stored on your iOS device.
If your iOS device is passcode locked, you need to unlock the device before you'll see the alert.
To trust a computer:
Connect the computer or other device to your iOS device.
If your iOS device is locked with a passcode, unlock it.
Tap Trust.
If you're about to sync the device with iTunes, click Accept.
The trusted computer or device can access the files and settings of your iOS device. A trusted computer can sync with your iOS device, import photos, access movies and videos, contacts, and other such content, until you disconnect. The data stored on your iOS device isn't exposed before you enter your passcode (if enabled) and choose to trust the connected computer or device.
If you choose not to trust the connected computer, you can charge your device, but the connected computer won't be able to access any content on your device.
If you tap Trust, the computer will be trusted until you untrust all computers or you erase the device. If you tap Don't Trust, you'll see this alert each time you connect your device to that computer.
If you're using iOS 8 or later: To untrust all computers, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. This will also reset your location and privacy settings. You can also untrust all computers by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will also reset your network settings.

HT1338 i upgraded from leopard to snow leopard ( i know i am really behind) but now iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. and the updates keep crashing when they are trying to install...help!

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...

2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes. How do I fix this?

It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

Windows 7 won't recognize my iPhone now that I've updated to iOS 7.1

What's up here? I use a Windows 7 machine and used to just plug my iPhone in and get all the photos and video off of it via "my computer". Now my desktop won't recognize my iPhone and the phone keeps asking me to trust the computer which I've said "yes" about six times now. I don't use iTunes and don't want to as it doesn't work well with Windows. None of this happened until I updated to iOS 7.1 and hey apple, give us an option to roll back please!!

That's what's throwing me. I don't use iTunes and don't even have it installed. I just plug the phone in via a USB cable, or did anyway before iOS 7.1 and it worked fine. I manually pulled my photos and videos off to my hard drive. Now I'm trying to download iTunes and it just keeps saying "thanks for downloading iTunes" yet it hasn't even begun to download. All my own fault. I didn't listen to myself "if it ain't broke don't fix it" i.e. don't always rush to update to the lastest iOS. Heck I still use Windows XP on my desktop and have for 13 years. It works fine and I see no need to change it.
