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

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor that was included with the iPhone, the same when connected to your computer, and no change when connected to any charger, do you have access to another cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used?
If no change with a known good cable, there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

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.)

This may not be helpful but you are not the only one.

Itunes won't recoginze my iphone

I had a 4s that synced just fine. I upgraded to ios 7 and itunes 11.1.1.11
When I plugin my 4s and now my new 5s as well (I'm trying them separately, not at the same time), windows recongizes the phones as plugged in but itunes won't see the phones as attached. I've tried restarting, deleting the temp folder and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
Nothing seems to work. please help.

I just noticed that when I plug the iPhone into my work PC (vista) it is reconised in iTunes?!? But on my home Mac it isn't!
Something else that has happened is that all my music has gone from my iPhone but when I look in iTunes it says 'Other' where it used to say music:

ITunes won't pickup iPhone after downloading latest software

I recently downloaded the latest iTunes software 10.5.2 on my macbook pro and now my iphone won't register when I plug it in.
iTunes opens but it won't show any devices.
I've googled it and it seems a number of others have had similar problems. Some advised to trash the iTunes version and reinstall it but others said they did this and it worked for the first instance but after rebooting iTunes didn't pickup the iphone again.
Before I attempt this, has anyone out there had this issue and knows how to solve it?

You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 11. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. After you’ve installed that then use the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.

ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

What version of iTunes are you running?

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.

Windows 7 (32-Bit) - iTunes won't recognize iphone!?

I have just updated my sony vaio fw41e to windows 7 home premium (32-bit). My chipset is intel pm45.
I am running itunes 9.0.2 which I believe is the most current. The computer recognizes the iphone and offers me several autoplay options but thats all I get. I no longer get the icon appearing in itunes and I have no idea how to solve it.... I have tried every suggestion from help etc like uninstalling itunes, resetting my phone, restarting my system etc etc...
Can anyone offer any help?

[quote]I have the solution...TRUST ME. I have done all of the restore, reinstall, update drivers...etc...here is the SOLUTION. It seems that when you plug your iPhone in for the first time, your PC automatically installs the iPhone as a "Camera device". This is the problem. All you need to do is point it to the correct driver, which is a USB driver in device manager. Follow these steps, I will bet that it solves all of your recognition issues.
1. 1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Dont search. I will choose the driver to install' click 'Next'
Here you should see the Apple Device to update, click "Have Disk"
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) or browse the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
Click "OK"
DONE!! the driver is now updated and located in the correct USB port [/quote]

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 start when i plug in my ipod Touch

When I plug my iPod Touch into my computer iTunes will not launch.
I have iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and Windows Vista Pro.
I checked in services and "iTunesHelper.exe" ; "Apple Mobile Device" ; "iPod Service" are all started and set to automatic
Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
What am I missing that keeps iTunes from opening on its own?

Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
Good Lord. I'm not sure that I've ever seen this hit someone in quite this context, but that's consistent with a blown-out iTunes preferences file (a greyed-out option that can't be selected).
Before messing with your preference files, I think we'd better check to see if this is a user-account specific problem. (There's a different set of iTunes preferences files in each Vista user account ... so if it's a blown-out pref file causing your issue in the usual user account, you should be able to get iTunes launching when an ipod is plugged in in a different user account.)
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. (Give the new user account full administrative rights.)
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Open iTunes in the new user account. The iTunes setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted ... just let her open eventually to an empty library.
Now go "Edit > Preferences". Click the "Devices" tab. Check the "Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically" box. Click OK.
Now quit iTunes. Stay in the new user account. Plug the Touch in. *(Do not associate the Touch with the empty library!)*
Does iTunes launch for you? Or do you get the same trouble as in the usual user account?

Erratic Battery - Itunes won't restore (Iphone 5)

Hello,
I'd appreciate some really urgent here as I'm at the end of my tether. In the last couple of days my phone has had charging issues - either it would stay on the same percentage then cut out or it wouldn't charge at all. Earlier this evening, despite a full day of charging, it was sitting at 3% and then kept cutting out and turning itself back on. After looking online it seemed that the sensible idea would be to restore to its factory settings to see if that would fix the problem. Here is where the frustrations really kicked in ...
I was all set to restore but itunes first has to download software which takes over an hour. The first time it downloaded, there was an unkown error and I had to restart. There was then another hour (to download the same software?), once this finished, nothing happened. The iphone still has the static USB screen where it asks you to connect to itunes, and itunes (despite detecting the iphone) just didn't do anything. It then restarted the downloading software process which will take another hour. This whole time I've had no access to my phone. I'm travelling 5 hours to get home for christmas tomorrow and need a phone to complete the journey as I'm being picked up. I have no idea how to sort this!? Anyone?
Thanks,
Jason

Okay, now went through another hour of it downloading and again it didn't apply the update to continue with the restore. It allows me to press restore again, I press it and it begings updating the software (hence taking another hour). This is absolutely insane that my phone should be locked like this with a download that takes over an hour each time and then doesn't work. Is there anyone who can help?
