    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts

  • Itunes wont recognise my iphone 5

    Ive just got my iphone 5 back from being serviced and tunes wont recognise my 'fixed' iphone 5s.  All my data was backed up to itunes on my pc and i need to restore it to the phone.  Help!!!!

    does it show up in my computer as a camera or not at all?
    have you tried connecting to other computers to see if it's detected there to verifcy that the conector is not damaged and causing the device not to be recognized by the computer?

  • New itunes wont restore new iphone 5 from old phones backup

    My new iphone 5 refuses to restore from a backup of my old 4S using i tunes (latest version).
    It recognises it as a new phone, asks where to restore from,
    It starts the restore then freezes indicating 1 minute left,
    this then turns into 2 minutes, 3 minutes 4,5,6, and on and on
    I have about 20G of music on the old phone and i cloud will only accept 5Gig
    Any advice
    Thanks in advance
    Lisboy

    You're welcome.  If your phone is not showing under Devices on the left side of iTunes after connecting it, see the troubleshooting steps here:

  • 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.

  • I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support"so i did, now wont recognise my iphone and says to uninstall itunes and instll the 64-bit version of itunes so i did again,and again,and again.still wont work pls help me?

    I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support", so i did, now it wont recognise my iphone and says to unistall+install the 64-bit version of itunes so i did, again..and again..still nothing please help me?!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • 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'!!!!

  • Just updated iphone 4s to ios7 and now itunes wont recognise my device.

    Before updating my iphone, itunes on my mac was easy to use and always recognised my phone. Now i cant even get itunes to recognise my iphone. It had pop ups saying that the phone is locked with a passcode and then i unlocked it and now its saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the device timed out. How do i get itunes to work again!!!???? ive tried everything

    I have had the same problem since updating
    However I also have no facetime, and every time I use an app I get a message asking me to review the icloud terms and condition. Would happily do this but all it does is take me to a blank page. Apple support suggested resetting everything via settings, but icloud, facetime and imessaging are"greyed out".
    any suggestions anyone?

    I assume you are referring to your Username. If so, follow the directions below. If you are referring to your Apple ID, then don't.
    Resetting User Account Password (10.7 +)
    1) Boot into your Recovery Partition holding down command + R at the startup chime
    2) Select 'Terminal' from your Utilities Menu Bar
    3) Type the following bolded command in: resetpassword
    4) From the window that appears, select your boot volume and the appropriate user account
    5) Type in the new password and confirm the new password
    6) Click Save, close this pane and quit Utilities
    7) Select your boot volume when presented with choose startup disk and reboot your machine

    I was having the same problem, however, i just re-installed itunes and everything appears to be working. All I did was drag the itunes.app to the trash and re-install.

  • I am trying to download my contacts from my iTunes to my new iPhone. I never did a back up on my old one.

    I am trying to download my contacts from my iTunes to my new iPhone. I never did a back up on my old one. So I tried simply downloading whats on my itunes contacts list and that didn't work either.

    iTunes does not have a contacts list and only stores contacts in a back up file. You need to check if there is a back up that was made when the contacts were on the phone. If you do locate one then you would need to restore from that back up to get the contacts back on the phone.
    Follow the article below to do this:
