My Iphone 3gS is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging so the USB port is working properly. My wifes Iphone IS being recognized by the same laptop. My Iphone IS being recognized by the desktop computer and another laptop
My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?
The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version?

My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC?
My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC, either in itunes or My Computer as a drive. iPad and iPod work fine.
Phone also not found on other computers I have tried.
Tried resetting the phone. Reloaded iTunes. Stumped now.Now sorted thanks. It was the cable, seemed identical, would charge the phone through the USB port but did not show up as a drive.

My internal hard drive isn't being recognized on my macbook pro but when I put the HD in my Mac Pro (desktop), the desktop computer recognizes the HD. When I insert the installer CD on my laptop, it also doesn't recognize my hard drive. Please help! Thank you!
I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?
Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S. -
my emails are not being sent from my desktop, but they are capable of being sent from my iphone 5. Whatever I have sent just disappears from my desktop.
R1: Seems you didn't configure you email account in your Outlook client properly. please refer to the following KB article and try to create a new mail profile to configure your email account again:

R2: Do you want create subfolders under Inbox to category your emails? If so, we can just right click on Inbox > select New Folder... After that, we need to create rules to move or copy your emails to each subfoler. See:

I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete iPod Touch/iPhone apps you don't want. You used to be able to do so by going onto iTunes on your desktop computer and deleting them. Not Good! I just called tech support and they said that in this version there is no way to delete them. They also said there have been numerous complaints about this. You can't even delete them from your applications folder. It's as though you're being held hostage to apps you tried, but do not want.
While we're on the subject, I don't like the fact the the iPod touch comes with unistalable apps such as: Passbook, Nike & iPod, Newsstand, and Game Center. Don't want them, will never use them. Give customers the option to delete apps that we don't want. Call Apple's corporate customer care. escalation, and complain untill they fix this.Actually,

I transferred my library to a new laptop and everything appeared on the screen. I turned off the old computer and the library disappeared. How can I make it a permanent transfer as my old computer is being scrapped. Thanks
Hello Terryfrank,
Congratulations on your new laptop! Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer.
I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article.
With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up. The last step is to import the content to your new computer. Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

TS1363 My new IPod is not being picked up by my computer. What should I do?
My new IPOD is not being picked up by my computer. What should I do?
@vic_suav, thanks for the additional information. Could you please try to see if this does the trick?
Quit iTunes on your PC, switch your iPhone on and make sure it's not locked, before connecting it to your computer. Then wait a minute or two until the "Download Photos" dialogue box pops up. When that happens, launch iTunes and wait a minute or two until iPhone shows up as a connected device.
If the above doesn't work, follow the steps in 'How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows' to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Otherwise, please try a different USB port on your PC. Then in your Windows 7, click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program". Then verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs. If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. For removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Windows 7, follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
if all of the above fail, you can try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined in 'iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows' article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Let me know how it goes. Good luck! -

Do you see an error message when trying to sync the apps to the iPhone?
All you have to do is connect the iPhone to the computer, click apps above the picture of the iPhone in iTunes, choose Apps, and then select the apps that you want to sync.
See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes -

My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC. I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Hey Oynkus,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5. Did you update iTunes as well?
If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Info.
Select the items you want to sync.
Click Apply.
Take care,

iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable. this is now the third day and nothing improves please help. iTunes says my sim is locked but I can't unlock it
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.
If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
