My device will not connect to itunes.
My itunes was working until I installed the latest update, I have an iphone 4 and my laptop is windows 8. Everything is up to date but now itunes is not recognising my device at all (it did before the update). I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled but it is still unavailable.
What can i do?

I have tried everthing from updates installed, resetting itouch, going threw all the check points and diagnostics and nothing is working. Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this problem I would appreciate it.

My devices will not connect to iTunes over WiFi or over USB. No indication is given of connection
I was attempting to restore a 3rd generation iPod for a friend but the device would not connect to iTunes. I attempted to connect my 5th generation iPod touch but it would not connect either. I can see it is connected in the computers files but it does not appear on iTunes.
Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19. -
my Ipad will not connect with Itunes prompt states this Ipad cannot connect because the Apple mobile device service has not started "??s "
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -

Remote app on my iphone 5 will not connect to itunes
The remote app stopped working on my iphone 5 and will not connect to itunes. Home sharing is on on itunes and adding new library on my remote iphone app results in veryfying passcode results in the following message on itunes 'the pascode you have entered is incorrect'. I have the feeling that the library is already added but will not connect. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!
I had the same problem. Reinstalled everything and still nothing. Came across this article:
5 Simple Tricks to Get iTunes to Recognize an iOS Device
Quit and relaunch iTunes
Connect the iOS device to a different USB port on the computer
Reboot the iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Reboot the computer
Use a different syncing cable (if possible)
I changed my syncing cable and it worked! Try that if all else is failing. -
My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo. -
Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7
Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...) and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...
Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

IPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes.
iPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes. Windows Vista and iTunes, all updates current. Cables secure & connected. Device driver will not load. iPad will connect when tried with several other computers. When I try to connect it will hang iTunes until I re-boot. iPad does NOT appear in Windows Explorer either.
Oh, so the iPad DOES work fine connected to the same computer and the same port. I thought you said it did not in the first post, but maybe you got that working (or I misunderstood before).
NOTE: When things are working properly, the shuffle will not appear in Windows Explorer (except when actively syncing), unless you have Enable disk use turned on for the shuffle. So not seeing it in Windows Explorer may not be a problem.
Is this shuffle a new purchase... so it did not previously work for you on this computer? If so, make sure that the shuffle end of the USB cable is fully inserted into the headphones jack. The fit can be tighter than expected, and it may seem connected, but is not. For a surprising number of people, this was the problem.
In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of window) visible. If it is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When there are no devices connected, the heading DEVICES should not appear in the sidebar. When you connect your iPad, DEVICES should appear, with the iPad listed below. If you connect the shuffle, it is be added to the list under DEVICES. To confirm, you do not see the shuffle listed there under DEVICES, when it is connected?
When you connect the shuffle, does its light on the shuffle do anything? -
