Itunes wont detect iphone 5 and it just keeps vibrating

im trying to connect my iphone to itunes, and now it says it cant be detected. I synced some songs into it two nights ago,and now it wont work. i've been googling stuff for 2 hours and nothing helps. i've uninstalled and installed itunes, turned off my computer and back on. I've reset my phone like 2 times, and still nothing. When i plug it in, you see the little lightning bolt next to the battery then it disappears, and it just keeps vibrating or beeping. I'm not using an apple usb cord, but that's not the problem because like i mentioned earlier, i used it two nights ago. please help.

Hey alevsqz!
I have an article for you here that outlines some troubleshooting steps that I believe will be relevant for resolving this issue:

ITunes wont detect iPhone 4

Hey,
I just got my iPhone in the mail today and unpacked it and plugged it into my computer and it installed a drive as normal and then it showed it was connected to my computer, So I open up iTunes and my iPhone 4 seems to not of been detected by iTunes.
My computer is calling the device "Apple iPhone, Digital Camera" which I guess shows that my cable is fine and it will connect but its a problem with iTunes?
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, is there anything I can try.
Things I have done:
Restarted Computer
Un-installed iPhone driver and re-installed it.
I am out of options, Hope someone can help.

I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.
Also make sure Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service are running (Administrative Utilities>Services). If they are, might restart them anyway.

ITunes wont detect iPhone 3g3

I updated iTunes to 10.5 yesterday and am now trying to sync my iPhone 3Gs 16gb. For some reason iTunes doesnt detect the iPhone at all. I have tried the following:
- Restarting the mac (Running 10.5.8)
- Turning phone off and on again
- Restarting phone by holding home and lock buttons
- Restarting iTunes (iTunes does lock up when doing this but does work eventually)
- Force quitting iTunes
- Pluging into different USBs
I think that iTunes is the problem because when I plug the phone in it charges. However I updated my iPad with no problems yesterday.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Itunes wont detect iphone after factory restore

hello, i had to restore my iphone to factory settings because all my apps would not open. Has been doing this for awhile now. I did the restore, and now when i turn it on,it has an itunes logo and the connect wire shown. Itunes doesnt even detect that my iphone is there. I want to restore from backup, but it wouldnt let me so i had to do the whole restore. What do i need to do to get itunes to detect my iphone? i have lots of data that i cant lose.
Thanks

Ok ... I found the solution. If you view the driver details for the iPhone when plugged in, you will see (at least in my case) that the iPhone is using Microsoft Drivers, not Apple ... this apparently was the issue.
To fix, I downloaded the latest iTunes, I then -extracted- (not installed) the file ... then within the extracted items, there were more .msi files, I extracted all these also.
After extracting, view your iPhone in device manager, click properties, then driver ... update the driver, when asked choose to Browse for folder. Choose the parent folder that you extracted all items to ... Windows should now discover the correct iPhone driver and install.
Don't know if that will work for everyone or not, but it seemed to do it for me.

Was updating ios and itunes wont detect my phone and i cant turn it off or nothing

not sure what ios i was using

"i can't turn it off or nothing" - pretty vague, eh? What EXACTLY do you see on the phone. Did you try to reset? (Press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.)

HT201263 i went to reset my iphone 4 and it just keeps doing the loading circle

i went to reset my iphone4 and now it is just staying on the loading screen with the circle. What do i do??

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???

Sounds like a hardware failure.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes!

I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes! I am current with software on both my computer and my iphone 5s. Now when I hook it up to my computer it still keeps asking me if I trust the computer and it won't connect to Itunes?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
