ITunes won't connect to my iPhone

I just installed 10.5.6 and now when I connect my iPhone to my mac, iTunes won't recognize that it's connected. My computer recognizes that it's connected via Apple System Profiler, and the iPhone charges, but iTunes doesn't recognize that it's attached. I tried plugging my iPhone to another mac, and it worked, and I tried plugging another iPhone into my computer and it didn't work either, leading me to believe that the problem is with iTunes. Can anyone help?

  • HT1430 Iphone 4s says disabled connect to itunes and itunes won't connect because phone locked with a passcode. I don't have the passcode to unlock the phone

    the iphone 4s is disabled - it says "connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes, I get the message "itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes"....the phone is disabled because the wrong passcode was typed in too many times and when I try to go to itunes, it won't connect the phone because the phone is locked, so how do I unlock the phone since it's disabled???

    You can restore the iPhone from backup on the last computer your iPhone synced with, this will allow you to reset the passcode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414. If you do not have access to the last computer the phone synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device, all data on the phone will be erased  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • ITunes won't connect to iPhone

    All of a sudden, iTunes will not connect to my iPhone. Most of the time it won't even recognize I've docked it, and on the occasion it does, it displays the following error message:
    iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000004).
    Oh yea...that's helpful! Very frustrating. Anyone have ANY idea of what I can try?

    Well, I swapped USB ports and it started working...hmmmm.

  • Cannot activate used iPhone because iTunes won't connect

    I adopted a friend's first generation iPhone when he upgraded to the new 3G S. I got a new sim card and I know the password he used to lock his phone. AT&T told me that the only way to activate the first generation iPhones is through iTunes. The problem, though, is that when I plug the phone into iTunes, I get the following message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "PortableOps" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    But when I turn the iPhone on, I get the Connect-to-iTunes image, and the only function it will let me do is the "slide for emergency" phone call. So how do I enter the passcode in order to connect to iTunes? Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The authentication/activation servers are being hammered today due to iOS7.  Wait.

    Hi,
    What security software is running on the PC? The security software could be causing the issue, try to reconfigure or temporarily disable it.
    You can also try flushing the DNS as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527

  • After installing Norton Antivirus to my PC, iTunes won't connect

    A few months ago, after getting a nasty virus, I had Norton Antivirus installed on my PC.  Since then, my iTunes won't connect to the store.  This wasn't a huge deal until I got an iPhone, now it's a constant issue.  Has anyone had a similar issue or know what in the world to turn off/on to make it work again?

    What iPad117 is describing is recovery mode. this will need a restore in itunes to be able to use the device again, clearing all data. If you want to avoid this, try this first: Try a different usb port. A lot of ports are not compatable with some iPads. One in the back of the computer is usually best. Also try a different cable, and make sure itunes is up to date.

  • Error pop up when trying to sync iPad to Mac. It says iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device.

    The error says, "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." But it is connected and shows up in iTunes but won't sync or show apps. Never happened before.

    Have you seen this Apple support document?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My home wifi won't connect to my iPhone 4S (only) I've tried everything from troubleshooting Please Help!

It can't find the wifi and when I reset network connections it now won't even let me turn it on! Pleaseeeee someone help this Is driving me crazy!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

    Try erasing your network preferences again from settings-about-reset and erase or something like this and try reconnecting if the problem persists try changing the name and password of your router and if you it keeps not connecting you will have to try restoring your iphone through itunes on your PC.
    Hope this helped.

  • Itunes won't connect to active WiFi

    I've read all the forums and topics but still haven't found the answer to why iTunes won't connect to the WiFi at my home. I have no password on my WiFi. Other computers in the home use it just fine. Safari on iPhone works great. I reset the network on iPhone and chose the home network. There are plenty of bar showing it's active but I keep getting the same message in iTunes that it can't connect to iTunes because it needs a WiFi connection. What else can I possibly be missing. I've been using Mac since '84 so I'm quite experienced with all settings and what they do but this one has me stumped. What can you suggest. (new iPhone 3G)

    You are not connected to your WiFi network as you do not see the WiFi symbol on the iPhone you can see the 3G symbol. The iTunes Store on the iPhone does not work via 3G it only works via WiFi.
    Clearly you are not getting access to the internet via your WiFi.
    You should turn on WiFi on the iPhone and then you will see the iPhone searching for wireless networks. Your WiFi should appear in the list and you should then select it by touching it in the list. It should then have a tick mark against it in the list. If it does then touch the blue circle next to the WiFi name which will show you the details of the WiFi you are connected to, if the screen does not contain IP addresses then you are not connected to the internet, even though you may have WiFi connection. Are you sure the WiFi you are connected to has working internet?

  • My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

    my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.
