Laptop wont recognize my iphone

I've believe I've gone through the entire process for syncing my iphone to my HP laptop which has itunes installed on it.  However, I am unable
to move music from the laptop to the iphone.  When I connect my phone to the laptop it shows the device button at the top of the screen.  when I click
on the button the button disappears.  I am unable to transfer music from the laptop to the phone

Try cleaning the dock connector.  Try a new cable.

If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

    Hi. Please ensure you have the latest version of iTunes installed (uninstall and reinstall) and follow these instructions.

    Your antivirus may be conflicting.
    Post back if you have trouble.
    Swapping cables ports and avoiding hubs may also help.

  • Itunes wont recognize my iPhone

    Hi, I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and tried to sync my iPhone so I could update it as well. However, it won't even show up in iTunes, and I spent the last several hours trying to revert back to a previous iTunes version to see if that would help and it hasn't (I had to reinstall the latest version). My iPhone has 3.0.1 firmware at the moment. Is there anything I can do (without going through the iTunes nightmare again) or should I wait until a newer update for iTunes is released to fix this?

    Well, I talked to Apple Support, they told me to uninstall the components of iTunes (in a completely different order than the article for uninstalling iTunes on Windows Vista, mind you) and it resulted in iTunes acknowledging my iPhone, only to tell me that it couldn't interact because of missing software.
    The "AppleSync is not working!" and another strange error message popped up. The Apple Mobile Device Support component wasn't installed and the Apple assistant couldn't explain why, other than to say "Something went wrong with that install"...
    Simply put, the error messages kept coming up even after restarting my PC, and I had to do a System Restore, which had Apple Mobile Device Support intact, and then reinstall iTunes to get it "working" again. Still won't even recognize my iPhone, but somehow I prefer that to the mess that Apple Support left me with.

  • My computer wont recognize my Iphone 4

    I've plugged my phone into a PC, a Laptop, and a Macpro and every outlet in the house and it still wont say its charging yet when its pluggled in it trickle charges. ive even tried unistalling and reastalling itunes plz help!?!?!?

    Here's a good iPhone troubleshooting article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If your iPhone can keep enough charge, restoring it (via iTunes) may well help.  Your box above says iOS 5.1.1. - that's the latest, so that's good.  Make sure you have the latest iTunes as well - 10.6.3.

  • Itunes wont recognize my iphone 4s to sync

    i open itunes on my windows 8 computer, plug my phone in with the usb cable and the icon doesn't appear at the upper right corner to sync my iphone anymore. ive tried going to my control panel and checking portable devices, everything's up to date ive tried "view" and hiding/ showing the tool bar.. ive tried dragging and dropping the 3 songs i want to transfer from itunes to my iphone, (moving to the itunes folder) ive tried deleting some data on my phone (pictures apps ect) ive tried using the cloud. ive tried typing in the songs i want on itunes, right clicking and trying to add to my playlist on my phone... and im really at a loss. i cant seem to get itunes to recognize my phone and have the sync icon show up. is there a way you know of to make that appear? i honestly only want to add 3 songs to my phone. what should i try next? thanks!

    Try another cable. They are known to fail after a while with wear and tear.
