Itunes wont detect new iphone

Got a second hand iphone 3gs for my daughters birthday, supposedly workin and unlocked.
guy said just plug it into itunes and away you go, but itunes doesnt register the phone. Tried all the hints but to no avail. Not very computer savvy !!!!
Also doesnt go beyond apple screen when turned on.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power button for 15-20 seconds to see if it will boot past the white Apple logo.
If this does not work, put the device into DFU mode (google it) and then restore via iTunes.

Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.

Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
Please help.

Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
Please someone help me

I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

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.

My facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

my facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

ITunes thinks my new iTouch is my old iPod

I received a new iTouch and when I first connected it to iTunes I accidentally didn't rename it. So now iTunes thinks my new iTouch is my old iPod. So when I started syncing it, it looks as though my new 64gb iTouch only has 32gb. How do I make iTunes recognize my iTouch as something new? I was scared to do restore because I thought it might restore the old iPod settings and not the new iTouch settings.

Hello noonie23,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How you sync one iPod should have no effect on any other iPod you may be syncing to the same iTunes library.
I think at this point it would be best to restore the iPod via iTunes, name it to whatever you like, then sync away. Not sure why only 32 gb is showing though.

Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If no joy...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

Note on Recovery Mode.
You may need to try this More than Once...

Itunes wont load new movies

like it says itunes wont add/load new movies i have to the libary

Are they in the right format?
Right click a video and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert?
Or, are the videos not going into iTunes? For videos to be imported, they have to be in a quicktime-compatible format. Right click a video and go to properties. What is the file type?

Can I get original files back? Itunes wont sync new music, Help!!

My computer had to be taken to the shop last week and the whole system had to be wiped and recovered. I forgot to tell them there was another file I wanted saved so I lost a lot of my music.
I managed to download the free version of touchcopy and get my music back on to itunes. The music that I lost comes up with a question mark and wont play on itunes but is in ipod and plays fine. Is there anyway I can get the original files of these songs on to my computer as I cant make playlists or anything with these songs?
Also in my ipod a few of the playlists have been screwed up and there are about 5-6 versions of 90s music, recently added etc that have nothing in them. Is there anyway to get rid of them?
My main problem now is that itunes wont sync the new music that Ive just added (it wasnt on the ipod before). When i plug my ipod into my computer itunes tells me "sync is complete" and it also shows up with "do not disconnect" on my computer. How do I sync this music on to my ipod??
Sorry for that incredibly long winded problem, I really hope someone can help me!!

I know that sounds so obvious, but I can't figure out how. There are six folders in the iTunes Media folder. Under advanced preferences there's a box that says iTunes Media Folder location with a "change" or "reset" option. What do I change it to? I tried the reset option, but nothing changed. I was hoping it would magically get all my stuff in order but it didn't. I was scared to try the change option. Most of my library is also in my iPhone and iPad and in the right folders/places and I'm scared to sync them with my Mac because I don't want them all screwed up. And the syncing through iDisc on my Mac isn't working because it can't find my iTunes Media folder and the six folders/documents in it.
I'd appreciate a step-by-step if possible. Literally. I've been using computers for years and my Mac for a little over a year and never had problems with it until this. I also noticed that several times in iTunes help it says " don't change the folder name or location for iTunes Media." duh. Read that too late.
Thanks

ITunes wont detect iPod.

Does anybody know how to get iTunes to detect my ipod without restarting my computer?
Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and open iTunes it doesn't detect it(allthough the updater can detect it), until I restart my computer.

hi Chewy!
Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and open iTunes it doesn't detect it(allthough the updater can detect it), until I restart my computer.
eerie ... but that seems consistent with something interfering with your ipodservice.exe or other itunes processes:
Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows
the three items mentioned in that document launch on startup. so if there is a brief delay before the hypothetical interfering whatsit shuts one of them down again, you might be able to get a connection immediately after a restart.
lets make a quick observation (aimed at checking on whether something like that might be going on). reboot the computer. then open your Task Manager to the Processes Tab.
do you see an ipodservice.exe, an ituneshelper.exe and a qttask.exe in there?
love, b

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.

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

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.

Ever since i updated my iphone and it ended up in recovery mode, my itunes wont detect any of my devices.. When i plug it in the computer instead of making that two toned noise it makes a weird one toned noise twice as if there's something wrong..

A while back when i was updating my iphone 5 itunes said an error had occured and my iphone ended up in recovery mode.. i brought it to the apple store they fixed it and i lost everything. supposedly the only things that were backed up on my icloud were 22 contacts from my previous iphone.. But i was still greatful i left with a working phone, however when i went home and plugged it in the computer itunes detected that i had a new phone and asked me if i'd like to back up my phone, surely i clicked yes and in a few minutes EVERYTHING came back! now a day later im here trying to connect my ipod and iphone to itunes and it will not detect anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled it back... still itunes is not responding im going on a road trip!! i need new music on my devices!! Someone help pleaasseee!!

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
