my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

  • Why is it my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when both are up to date?

    When I check my iPhone 4S it tells me that it is up to date  iOS 6.0.
    Same thing for iTunes 10 but iTunes tells me when I connect my iPhone "cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I take it I need to go back to older versions of each?
    And if so how do I go about doing that?
    Thanks

    I just wanted to follow up on this.
    According to Apple, Mac users do not have to uninstall iTunes for such things as I described and for the most part that is only needed on Windows machines.
    The conflict was I didn't actually have the right version of iTunes that my iPhone IOS 6 to recognize.
    I was unable to locate the actual page for 10.6.3 but finally found it.

    As to why my System Software Updater was unable to do this for me is still an unknown, nonetheless.
    Peace out.

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks

    My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

    :-) the problem is solved. Thanks to a great typ in one of the other discussions with alt+cmd+S iTunes looks again like something I recognize. After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

  • HT1386 iphone 4 not recognized by itunes

    I just replaced my Iphone 3GS with an iPhone 4 and now I can not see the iPhone 4 in Itunes.  I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to make sure I had a clean iTunes but it still is not recognized by iTunes.

    I have followed all the steps in the suggested corrections given to other users ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/18364680#18364680#18364680 , https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3956285?start=0&tstart=0)  and I still con not get my XP to recognize my iPhone 4. When I follow the steps I get the same the specified location does not contain information about your hardware" error.  Any Suggestions?

  • Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

    Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
    iTunes 10.3.1
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs.  I have tried the following steps:
    -Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software.  Did not work.
    -Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
    -Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
    -Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
    -Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
    I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked!  Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
    Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone).  This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes.  It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
    I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again.  This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze.  I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
    One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
    Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

    Nope, haven't been able to fix it.  I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt.  They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
    So frustrating.  I can't get apps to sync either.
    At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
    For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it
