Itunes won't read iphone

i udated itunes when i plugged in iphone it doesn't read "devices" on the left side like it usually does? ive restarted comp/itunes & reinstalled itunes nothing.

Do you hear the sound your computer usually makes when connecting a usb device? Can  you see the device connected on your computer anywhere? Are you sure the usb cable and/or usb port are working?

    OS 10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.1, and iOS 6.0.2 ... everything is updated, but iTunes won't read iPhone 5 or iPad as devices. Syncing was easy before recent iTunes update. Suggestions?

    Are you using the correct cables.  iPod cables look similar, but are not, as they are 1.1 USB cables, where your iPhone and iPad require a 2.0 USB cable.
    Also, make sure you are not plugging your USB cable into a Hub or keyboard USB port, but one directly on the computer.
    You may want to reset the USB ports, by resetting the SMC and PRAM

  • ITunes won't read ID3 tags that Windows sees

    I recently switched my library over from a Mac laptop to a PC desktop. I have about 70 GB of perfectly organized music accumulated over years and years.
    In the process, after I loaded some songs into iTunes (using the Keep My iTunes Folder Organized and all that stuff), I noticed that about 10 GB of music were without titles, artists, or album info, and just displayed the name of the MP3 file (so like instead of displaying 15 Step by Radiohead from In Rainbows, Track 1 it displayed "01 15 Step" in the Title column only).
    The problem is that when I navigate to these songs in Windows Explorer, not only do I see all of the correct ID3 information, I see the extras like Album Art have loaded perfectly as well. I can play these songs in Windows Media Player and the ID3 info is perfect.
    Does anyone know why iTunes won't read these ID3 tags or how to get iTunes to read them?

    I am also having the same problem with about 200 of my MP3s. The tag info shows up perfectly using QuickLook on Leopard, but in iTunes I can't see any of the info. I have tried converting the ID3 tag version, revesing the unicode....nothing.
    Have you had any luck?

  • Itunes won't "read" because it was created by a newer version of itunes

    I just updated my operating system finally and when I try to open itunes I get : itunes won't "read" because it was created by a newer version of itunes.

    This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
    To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
    Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
    We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
    Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
    Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
    Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
    Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

  • ITunes won't see iPhone but sees it in iPhoto

    iTunes won't see iPhone but sees it in iPhoto. The iTunes doesn't show a "Devices" title in the side window. Any information on how to fix this problem. Would like to start using iCal and sync the iPhone 4s using iTunes (etc.)

  • Itunes won't read my iphone

    whenever i connect my iphone to itunes it says it connected but it can'r be indetified. I thought i had the wrong USB cable but i did't.

    If you have not been backing up your iPhone wirelessly with an iCloud account, iTunes maintains a backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    No iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps is included with the backup. All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer or most of it can now be re-downloaded if needed without having to purchase it again such as music, movies, iBooks, and 3rd party apps.
    All photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup but should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Unless there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to any of the data that is included with the backup, nothing on your iPhone should be lost.
    Sounds like your iPhone has a major problem and you have no other choice but to restore.

    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  Recognize iPhone / Crashes

    Since Sept. 28, 2010, I've been unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes on my PC. iTunes exhibits one of the following symptoms: (1) iTunes is very slow to start; recognizes my iPod but not my iPhone; (2) iTunes locks up and crashes after startup; or (3) iTunes won't launch.
    I've called Apple tech support, and removed and reinstalled iTunes, Bonjour, QuickTime, and all apple components 3 times. This has not resolved the problem. QuickTime continues to work fine despite problems with iTunes.
    In the EventViewer there are problems with Bonjour loading on system startup. I've "disabled" Bonjour at system startup, and reinstalled iTunes, but this has not resolved the problem.
    I am not running IOBit's Advanced SystemCare Utility, which has been mentioned as a problem for some on this site. Computer is a Dell Vostro 430 desktop (6 months old), and TrendMicro is my virus software.
    Please help. I want to be able to backup my iPhone again.

    Good gracious. At 8.24 am on 30 September, you launched iTunes and it did a repair install of itself because a file didn't show up when it checked actually-installed files against the records of what should be on your machine in the iTunes installation database. The file in question is the:
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\RatingFont.png
    That usually indicates file or disk damage. And there's been plenty of suggestions of similar sorts of damage in the other error/warning events and attempts to run sfc. So rather than a System Restore, I think we should instead try running a chkdsk over your C drive.
    There's instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r, depending on how you choose to go about it. You'll almost certainly need to reschedule the scan to run on restart. This sort of scan of the C drive should take quite a while ... if the scan stops after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    [How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
    Does the scan find/repair any damage?
    If so, let's do another complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software, as per the following document. If Windows doesn't let you delete any files or folder, post back to let us know what the error messages say, and which files/folders you're getting them on. (My concern is that other file damage may have interfered with the replacement of program files during previous attempts at uninstall/reinstalls, which is why the problem has persisted past the previous uninstalls and reinstalls.)
    [Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925]
    If everything repairs/uninstalls/deletes/reinstalls successfully, do your iTunes, BonJour, iPhone, etc, start behaving a bit better for you?

  • Updated 2.2.1 - Now iTunes won't recognize iPhone (and iPhone won't work)

    I had this happen last time I did an update too, but that was fixed by going into my control panel and starting my apple mobile device - I checked and this time all is running. I can't use my iPhone and iTunes won't show it's connected even though it is (so can't restore, etc. since it won't recognize the device). I've tried closing out of iTunes and re-connecting the phone - nothing. I'm on PC using 2003 Microsoft software.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Sorry, gave the wrong PC info. I'm on XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 3.
    Please help!

  • ITunes won't recognize iphone apps

    I went to update some apps through iTunes (USB) with OS-X 10.9.5 to iPhone 5s with IOS 8 and it sees the apps but won't let me make changes to them. I can't remove, install or move apps. I've rebooted the Mac and the iPhone and nothing helps. The Console window is full of iTunes mesages about "Failed to create replacement string" which I doubt means much with the iPhone. Any suggestions to get iTunes to recognize the apps to make changes?

    I take it back. The problem persists. I've used the same setup as the iPad Air also on IOS 8 and it works fine, but not the iPhone. There is a problem in IOS on the iPhone with iTunes or with iTunes connecting to the iPhone.

  • Itunes won't recognize Iphone but device still charges

    Today, I had my Iphone 5c replaced after having issues with the software on my previous iphone 5c. I'm trying to put the data that was on my previous phone back onto my new replacement but Itunes won't recognize my device. I have tried getting the data back on my phone using Icloud but the backup data that is for my Iphone can't be selected as the backup data requires software that is ios 7.1 or later (or something like that). I have selected the option of "set up as new iphone" and just downloaded the software update but I don't know how to get back to the screen that shows the icloud backups.
    I have also tried all the recommended things for when the device cannot be detected with itunes (ex. reinstalling itunes, restarting apple mobile device support< ect.)
    If you can help with how I can get my itunes to recognize my iphone or how i can set up with icloud after selecting "set up as new iphone" that would be great

    Set the phone up as a new phone. Then update the iOS to 7.1. After the update is complete restore your phone from your backup.

  • ITunes won't recognise iPhone 3GS (Vista 32bit)

    Hi.
    I brought a 32gb iphone 3 days ago from the carphonewarehouse and the guy said in the store O2 will activate the phone within the next 24hours. Fine.
    Waited 24 hours then tried to sync the iphone to my windows vista Pc with itunes all loaded up, but itunes wouldn't recognise the iphone at all.I have spoken to o2 4 times and apple tech twice for 2hours each, doing complete removal of all apple/itunes related stuff then reinstalled itunes. I did this 3 complete times, and still itunes won't recognise the iphone even with the lastest itunes.
    If i go onto My Computer the actual PC itself picks it up but itunes won't.
    I ran a diagnostics test on itunes to find that under Ports:it says "NO iPhone or iPod found"
    The next test :iPhone/iPod Touch sync tests
    Results: No iPhone/iPod Touch found?
    ALL the other diagnostic tests i did showed all GREEN just these two are RED,which i am now?
    So yesterday mum and I decided to try and download itunes on my mums work laptop as a last resort since it won't work on my Desktop Pc.
    Downloaded the lastest iTunes from apple then synced the iphone, IT picked it up instantly (at this time the iphone haden't been activated but it has now thanks to my mums laptop.)I just ran through the procedures then, tried to sync it to my Desktop Pc. I had no luck. Same again itunes carn't recognise it at all. I need to get it synced to my desktop PC becuase i have over 1000 songs and over 20 movies on my itunes.
    I just don't know what to do, would appreciate some insight :confused:
    Thanks.

    Greetings,
    Make sure to run the Apple Update routine on the PeeCee - the PeeCee can be such a royal pain, and even though you aren't required to reboot, I would, as Winblows doesn't pick up on updates as it should.
    The next trick would be to reinstall iTunes.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • ITunes won't recgonize iPhone after failed upgrade

    I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS when I was prompted to upgrade it. I went ahead and clicked yes to upgrade it. I left the computer and whe I returned about an hour later it asked me to enter my passcode so I did. Then it did its thing for about 30 minutes before telling me there was an unkwown error while upgrading it. During that time the screen on the iphone switched to the image of the usb cord with an arrow poining at the iTunes logo. I restarted my computer and disconnected and reconnected my iphone and now iTunes won't even read it and my iPhone won't do anything other than display that same image of the usb cord and iTunes logo. I'm totally frustrated here. Help! I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, iTunes version 10.6.1.7.
    I know the cable is fine because it reads my iPhone 4S just fine. I tried restarting and relaunching iTunes and I've also tried holding the power button and home button down for 10 seconds and nothing on the phone's end.

    Thanks, I tried this but also did not work. What finally worked was that on a whim I decided to switch to a different usb port and then it read it. I didn't try this at first because my other iphone was being read from the original port and the computer recognized both devices from that original port. It doesn't make sense. But I got it to finally work just by swtiching to a different port and now I can sync it from the original port.

  • Itunes won't read CD  - Need Help!

    Persisting problem! Itunes won't recognize my CDs though Windows media player reads and plays no problem. Went to Apple site and did all steps suggested, watched "how to" video on topic of ripping CDs, upgraded to version 6 itunes, upgraded firmware for my CD player. (Actually have 2 players and neither works with Itunes) The CD diagnostics in Itunes sees the CDs noting that "Audio CD reading succeeded". Go figure. It WON'T show the tracks and when I go to File - Import a dialog box opens for my drive but no content shows. HELP - I just got three of these for my family but it won't work!
