  • ITunes does not recognise iPhone 5s on Windows 8

    I have the latest version of iTunes and also the latest version of OS for iPhone 5s (7.1).
    I have only noticed this problem since these updates. My iPhone is recognised by my Windows 8 OS in Computer and I can import pictures/videos, however, iTunes will not identify the device.
    I have ran the diagnostics tests via iTunes and followed all recommended suggestions but to no avail.
    Reboot iPhone
    Reboot Laptop
    Uninstall iTunes & re-install
    Stoped apple mobile device service and restarted
    reinstalled drivers
    iTunes Helper is running
    Disable all startup items
    Deleted Temp folder
    Temporarily disable firewall
    Does anyone have any suggestions other than the above that I could try please?
    Thank you
    Pete

    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    restart pc after uninstall

  • ITunes does not recognise iPhone 3G (version 4.2.1) and need help with how to transfer photos, contacts and/or messages PLEASE??

    Can i use wifi to transfer contacts, photos, messages etc- how??

    Try this one and see if it helps:
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

  • Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

    Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now  Itunes does not recognise  my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
    The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync  therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
    Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work.  Although after reading about other people with similar  issues on past window updates I think  I may need to uninstall all apple software .
    I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
    Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

  • How can i connect my iphone 4 s with itunes? itune does not recognise the iphone when it is connected

    Hi, i have received an iphone 4s from japan! whwn i connect it to my pc, itunes does not recognise it. what can i do?

    For this issue you might try a couple things.
    First, try to restart the Apple Mobile Device service by clicking Start and searching for Services. Stop the service, then restart the service.
    If that doesn't work, you can remove and reinstall iTunes.

    This article will help with that process. Follow it exactly.

  • Iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it

    I updated the software on my iphone4 and after updating the iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it. i have reloaded itunes, done a hard reset and still nothing. any ideas?

    Gotcha,
    If you have an iCloud account you might want to consider syncing that way so you won't have to use cables but that is certainly up to you.
    Try:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup iCal:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iOS device and attempt a sync.
    --- Check the Info tab in iTunes to make sure calendars are still set to sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

    Try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

    B noir
    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
