Itunes will no longer recognize my phone

I just bought the iPhone 5c. When I plugged it in to my old itunes it synced all of my old music. I wanted to start fresh so i made an icloud account and deleted all of those songs. I then signed on with my new account. After this, itunes will no longer display my phone as a device. I tried everything from reinstalling itunes to checking the Apple Mobile Device services and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong so I can get some music?!

1-reinstall itunes(to last version)
2-reset all setting from settings(on iPhone)
3-change port of usb to your Computer
was it helpful?

Itunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation ipod

Itunes will not recognize my ipod (running Windows Vista. My sons' iphone does not have a problem so it is probably my ipod.
Out of date software on the ipod, perhaps?

Did this iPod previously work with this computer (and the current Windows installation), and it is no longer working for some reason? Or is this the first time you are connecting this iPod to this computer?
I would try doing a reset of the iPod while it is connected your computer.

Even if the iPod's software is out-of-date, it should still be recognized by iTunes.

Itunes will no longer see my phone when plugged in... worked fine before update. any clues?

I have tried unplugging, rebooting, etc. anyone have any ideas??

Howdy there On The Road,
It sounds like your iTunes is becoming unresponsive when you plug in either your iPhone or iPad. A number of things can cause the issue, and I have a great troubleshooting article for you to use:

ITunes Will No Longer Sync

I have an iPhone and iPad and today iTunes will not longer recognize either or will not sync with PC or update. I am not sure how to procede. Any suggestions out there. Worst case I delete all of itunes and begin again. but will lose music, correct?

I still have not resolved this issue. My iPhone is now back to being able to sync, but iPad is not. I am thinking about just returning my new iPad if it is going to be this much trouble. It will do me absolutly no good if I cannot sync. I do not want to have to uninstall and reinstall. I did that once and lost all my music even though I back up. Then to pick and choose apps again from library and place them seems like too much work. Very frustrated that itunes will not run both for me...
If anyone has any ideas for me let me know. If I do not have this resolved by Wednesday then I am returning iPad.

Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD. Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again. Any ideas?

Music I have on iTunes on comp wont sync to iphone plus music I bought through phone will no longer play on phone after I synced to my comp.

Just bought music on iTunes from phone and then synced to iTunes on my computer and now the music I bought through the phone will not play but still remains in my music library. Also music that I had in my library from ripped CDs and other resources will no longer play on phone but will on the computer. How can I fix this problem?

In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

ITunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone

I keep getting the following message when syncing my phone: iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone. I just recently updated my iPhone 5s to the latest iOS version and iTunes is the latest version as well. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Problem seems to be resolved. Photos are now syncing.

Itunes will no longer sync...with my Iphone

Itunes will no longer sync...need to upgrade it? On the computer or on my phone? When I went to the Itunes site - and attempted to upgrade ITunes, it said i needed to upgrade my OX. what do I have to do

Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

I have this question too. I made my own video on my iPhone 4S. I want to put it on my iPad. I synced it to my iPhoto, and trying now to move it to iPad. The computer WILL NOT do this. Why not? I occasionally get messages it's not in a correct format, but for God's sake, I filmed it on the phone, in whatever format Apple uses. ***?

Here is the message my Iphone 4 is stating "Error no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up..."Itunes will not even recognize it, any ideas?

Here is the message my IPhone 4 is stating, "Error no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up..."ITunes will not even recognize it, any ideas?

No, it has something to do with the firmware on the phone itself. The phone won't do anything. I have used redsn0w to try and put the firmware back on, no luck though. The farthest I am able to go is DFU mode. The message on the screen says, "Error no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving 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?

MacBook Pro will no longer recognize new SSD via USB

I just received a brand-new 512 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD from Newegg this morning.
I own a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Mid-2012) with 16 GB of RAM and a 2.3 GHz Core i7 running Mavericks (10.9.1).
Earlier today, I plugged in the SSD via a third-party USB-to-SATA adapter that I also purchased from Newegg at about the same time. The machine recognized the new drive, and I opened up Disk Utility to format the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Once that finished, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my existing HDD to the SSD. Before it began, the program asked me to create the Recovery HD, so I enabled that option. The rest of the process proceeded smoothly. I quit CCC, ejected the drive, and put it away for the rest of the workday.
When I arrived home tonight, I plugged the SSD back into the Mac in hopes of test-booting it externally. Unfortunately, the machine will no longer recognize that anything is plugged into the Mac. I find it highly unlikely that the USB adapter could be malfunctioning; I unboxed it this morning and it's been mere hours since the successful clone attempt. I also find it hard to believe that the SSD could be broken, either.
I tried to disable rEFIt and manually invoke the boot selection screen, but even when that happens, the drive fails to mount. For the same reason, I can't erase the drive to start over, either. I've tried both USB ports, as well as rebooting with the SSD connected and unconnected.
My research tells me that people often have problems trying to get SSDs to boot when they've been installed in the drive bay, but nothing I've seen suggests anyone's had a problem booting from the external SSD after a successful clone attempt. What am I missing?

I'd start by resetting the SMC. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
I have no experience with Samsung SSD's, but I've read a number of posts here of people having problems with some of them. That could be a possibility.
The other thing you could try at this point is to swap the drives. If it's cloned already and the drive is good, it should boot. That would indicate the enclosure failed after the copy.

Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:
