ITunes won't detect my iPhone!

Can somebody let me know why my new iPhone 3G won't be detected on my iTunes using a regular USB cable??
I have all the latest iTunes and I know my USB works on my regular iPod nano ... but it won't detect my iTunes to charge the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

    my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

    If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
    To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
    1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
    2) swipe to power off
    3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
    4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
    If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
    If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes won't detect my iPhone 4

    I currently use a MacBook Pro with the 12.0.1 version of iTunes, however I also have an iPhone 4 and recently got an iPhone 5. In order to backup my iPhone 4 and put it onto the 5 i need to be able to sync, but iTunes won't detect my device (iPhone 4). I have completely uninstall iTunes so that I can install an older version that is compatible with my iPhone 4.
    So my question is, what is the latest version of iTunes available that is compatible with the iPhone 4 software of 7.1?
    All help is appreciated, thanks.

    For anyone else having this issue on OS X this post will fix it.
    Steps 7, 8 and 9 may not be required in Snow Leopard.

    2. In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash.
    3. Move the iTunes icon to the Trash.
    4. Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    5. Enter /System/Library/Extensions and click Go.
    6. Locate the file AppleMobileDevice.kext and drag it to the Trash.

    8. Enter /Library/Receipts/ and click Go.
    9. Locate the file AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg and drag it to the Trash. If prompted, authenticate with the administrator password.
    10. Restart the computer.
    11. Choose Finder > Empty Trash and restart the computer.

  • MacBook and iTunes won't detect my iPhone 3G

    I have the iPhone 3G and it is synced to my PC with windows 7. I just bought a MacBook and want to sync my phone to my MacBook without losing all my contacts and everything on my iPhone, because I plan on selling my PC. The problem is, when I plug my iPhone into my new MacBook the computer and iTunes does not detect my iPhone at all. When I plug it in to the USB port, it charges my phone but it does not detect it on the computer or in the iTunes device list. Yet when I plug my iPod nano into the new MacBook the computer and iTunes detected it immediately. Help! How can I get my MacBook to detect my iPhone so I can use it with my new Mac and not my old pc!?
    Thank you!

  • Itunes won't detect my iphone, can't sync or back up my phone

    After I have upgraded my itunes, it would no longer detect my iphone4S, so i took it to the apple store to test it and it worked.. but only not with my itunes at home. The staff recommended me to reinstall itunes, i did that but it's still not working.. If i uninstall itunes a pop up box will ask me if I want to completely delete itunes but if i select that, will i lose everything on my iphone?
    I dont know what to do

    You're most likely connecting a mobile device with a USB cable that is either faulty or incompatible. Try another cable and disconnect all other USB devices. The device itself, the USB port on the Mac, or another device on the bus could also be at fault.

  • ITunes won't detect firmware 4.3.3 for iPhone 3GS

    I've read about the problem where it doesn't download it and you have to turn off the firewall etc.  However my problem is that it just won't detect it at all.  I check for updates and it says that my iphone is update to date which is running on a 4.2.1.  I even tried to manualy do by downloading the firmware and going into recovery mode on the phone and shift clicking restore but then it says that the firmware is not compatible with my phone.
    The phone is an iPhone 3GS not jailbroken running on 4.2.1.
    Running Windows 7 64bit.
    I have the most recent version of iTunes.
    I did the whole virus protection being off, firewall off and changing the host file thing.
    Nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what else to do here.  I thought perhaps the 4.3.3 firmware wasn't for the 3GS but reading about it seems it is so I'm not sure why iTunes won't detect it.

    Try getting it from here
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/05/04/ios-4-3-3-download/
    Download the version for your phone, then connect the phone to iTunes and hold SHIFT while clicking Check for Updates. You can then install the file you downloaded above.

  • ITunes won't detect iPhone after iOS 7 Update

    Since I've updated to iOS 7, iTunes (11.1) won't detect my iPhone 5. Any advice..

    Hello FahadSheikh,
    Have you tried to reinstall itunes? ... That's odd! I updated my iphone 5 recently and itunes works perfectly!
    ... Hope you can solve this issue FahadSheikh!

  • I have a new Ipad 2.  iTunes won't detect it.

    I have a new iPad 2, i need connect my iPad with iTunes to use. But iTunes won't detect it. I used lastest version iTunes and win7. When i connect iPhone 4 with my laptop, it's good. But it can't recognize iPad2. What's the probleme here?

    I have a similar problem, but it began when i installed iTunes 10.5.2.11 on my windows 7 computer and tried to install the latest update to ipad2 software.  Prior to installing the new itunes, i had been able to sync with itunes easily and as expected.
    After installing the new version of iTunes - the ipad2 began to act strangely:
    it did not charge correctly even when connected to OEM power adapter ("not charging" message appeared when plugged in)... this still appears to be an issue, though it does not happen all the time.
    the computer no longer recognizes the ipad device (i have tried different cables and it does recognize my ipod nano)
    i am afraid to reset the ipad for fear that i will still not be able to connect afterwards and i will have lost all the apps currently installed.
    Any hints on how to go about fixing this issue?

  • 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

    Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.
