ITunes12 won't recognize iPhone 5s nor iPad 1

OSX 10.7.5 on an old Mac Pro (late 2006)
iTunes 12.01.26
iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.2
iPad 1 running iOS 5
iTunes will not recognize the iPhone nor iPad; neither shows up as a device. There is no "device" button in the iTunes window and the pull down menu version has devices greyed out. I've tried connecting the iPhone directly with the UBS cord and over wi-fi. No luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Another restart of the Mac Pro solved the problem. For now at least. I also re-started the iPhone and iPad. But the Mac restart seemed to be the one that did the trick. I guess you just can't restart too much...

OS X 10.8.1 won't recognize iPhone 4 or iPad as devices

My iMac is 5 days old. I received the 10.8.1 update. iTunes sees my iPhone and iPad,but Finder will not. I've tried connecting a few times, re-starting, etc. I am using an Apple power cord plugged directly into the USB port. Oddly, finder does see the 2 external hard drives I've connected. I've Googled this problem and I seem to be the only one with it. Any help will be appreciated. I'd rather not drag the 27" Moster back to the Apple store for support.

Don't expect Finder to see your iPhone or your iPad. They aren't intended to act as general-purpose USB storage devices in that way. Access is through iTunes for most files, iPhoto or Image Capture for pictures (and some third-party programs).

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. Suggestions?

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

The calendar app on MacBook won't recognize and sync with IPad and Iphone after upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4.0

After upgrading to Yosemite on our mac mini (from OS X 10.9) and V4.0 to Server (from 3.2), the calendar app on MacBook won't recognize the account and won't sync with IPad and Iphone. Even after giving password over and over again. I get the following message:
De server reageerde met
'500'
op de bewerking 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'.
(Server responded with '500' on task 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'
Anyone idea?

update to my original post: after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS. This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

ITunes 10.5 won't recognize iPhone or iPad (Win7)

I've done a search and noticed many others with this issue but none of the resolutions have worked for me.
My iPhone 4 and iPad are not recognized by iTunes, but my iPod is. I've uninstalled iTunes, deleted folders and registration entries, then reinstalled. Still nothing. Everything was fine before iTunes updated to 10.5. Windows sees the devices when they are plugged in, iTunes does not.
Help?!?!

Here's what I've found that works after struggling with my computer and itunes not recognizing my phone for a week
if you have windows go tohttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en- us&s=apple&page=2&type=Hardware and download the Apple Iphone 4 hardware.
then, if it doesn't automatically take you here, go tohttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL926
and download that.
Let me know if it works for you.

ITunes 8 won't recognize iPhone

I'm experiencing this issue on 2 separate computers.
When I was prompted to install iTunes 8, I downloaded and installed. During the installation, an error box popped up saying that the iPod service wouldn't be installed. Of course, once installed, the iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes, although it's picked up fine by Windows as a "camera". Wanting to transfer my latest podcasts to my iPhone, I installed iTunes 8 it to my work computer (Win XP instead of Vista I run at home) and had the same issue.
It says that the iPod service is running, but iTunes won't recognize it. And of course, iTunes won't let me roll back to an older version. I've been searching for a resolution to this issue. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling, and no luck. I've found other mentions of this issue, but there never seems to be a resolution for it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem with an iPod touch 32gb. If you go into "Diagnostics" under "help" on the itunes menu bar, and run the "ipod connection test" or something like that, it'll show "failed" and have a "help" button next to it. This takes you to a web page that lists various steps in solving the problem, beginning with reinstalling iTunes 8. It then recommends several other steps including deleting all iTunes files and shutting down all windows services through "msconfig". The final step recommends wiping your drive and reinstalling Windows then reinstalling iTunes 8. I've tried all but the final step to no avail, but I'm guessing since you tried it with a fresh windows install that it may not even work. I'm hoping there is a resolution for this soon. I still have iTunes 7.7 on my laptop, so I'm considering migrating all my stuff to that until there's a fix. I know it's an iTunes 8 issue, because I synced my iPod +right before+ installing it, just fine. iTunes 8 has never recognized my iPod. Apple has left me with the choice of of re-installing Windows (and subsequently, everything else on my computer) or wiping all traces of iTunes 8 (including music libraries) and rebuilding my entire music collection from scratch, including playlists. Awesome. Just fix the stupid program?

ITunes won't recognize IPHONE after new computer loaded from TM...

Hey all:
I had an unfortunate meltdown of my reliable 5 year old macbook and the logic board fried; luckily I was able to save the HD and when I bought my new macbook pro (wow, what an upgrade) and loaded it from the drive via 'transfer' on initialization, my ITUNES could no longer recognize either my IPHONE or my IPAD; I can still see the backups in the preference pane, but have been unable to have ITUNES acknowledge their presence. Any idea? Thanks
Ger

Additional details. I plugged in my phone, it was recognized and syncing as expected, but was stuck. After about 30 minutes I stopped the sych. That is when my problems occurred a few days ago. I have rebooted, re-installed, followed the directions on apple support - including the 6 step uninstall and the stuff following msconfig.

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 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.

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

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?

Mac won't recognize iPhone after updating to Snow Leopard

ITunes on new computer won't recognize iPhone.

My new laptop won't won't recognize my iphone 4s. The iphone is only abt a month old. My old computer crashed and I went through the steps of deauthorizing all computers and authorizing the newest one again. However, itunes still won't recognize the iphone! I don't know what else to do. I also have the icloud and imatch set up for the iphone. And auto downloads of new purchases. This part does work on the new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maybe this post by Zevoneer helps.

Mac won't recognize iphone

I hate APPLE right now. Why have they "suggested" to upgrade to Snow Leopard to make my life better, but all it has done is turn our mac into a rock with a screen and itunes will not recognize iPhone 4S anymore. Wouldn't be a problem, but I have drank the Kool-Aid and we own 4 iphones, 1 ipod touch, 2 ipads, and several ipod nanos of various ages. Mr. Cook, it has to be simpler than erasing a hard drive before installing a new operating system. Shouldn't we be able to install over the one you tell me isn't as good as the new one? If it were that good, I would think it would be able to avoid crashing with the old OS still installed. I bought two of my kids iPhones for Christmas which will cost me the $100 to buy them. and the $145 per month for a pretty basic family plan with AT&T so for $3600, shouldn't they be able to sync them to the "cool new" iTunes on Snow Leopard? Snow Leopards are on MY endangered list right now!
Can anyone tell me how to get iTunes to sync with my devices again?
I've already tried all the Apple steps on their website and even deleted iTunes through the Terminal to reinstall. No joy!

The Mac OS X (10.6.3) I the tag line didn't get you there? The iTunes installed would be whatever version they have online as of 12/25/12. Yes that would be Christmas night. Would love to give you the version number but my new "rock with a screen" takes overnight to reboot and today is my lucky day, we get to reboot two times (using my unsynced iPhone 4S to respond). I'm guessing you didn't get anything on your Christmas list. Keep your chin up JB there's always next gen iPhone5S.
