My iPhone 4 isn't recognized by the new iTunes
My phone worked just fine with the old iTunes, until I updated. I absolutely hate the new iTunes. It's unorganized and hard to work with. Also, now whenever I plug my iPhone 4 into my computer it charges and is recognized by iPhoto, but won't show up in iTunes. I've already gone through the troubleshooting steps Apple supplied, none of which helped. I've also looked at other questions like this but most of them were for Windows, and I'm on a Mac. Any advice? And is there a way to uninstall the new iTunes and just go back to the original? It was so much nicer.
Thanks!

Ok so I found the solution, sadly i had to reformat my laptop to figure out the issue. Anyways, if you have a passcode (PIN) to unlock your iphone then make sure before you plug in your phone to the computer that you have already unlock your phone. Give that a try and see how you go.
But I do not think you would miss this

i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it.
I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I have only managed to copy over some of my music as i had it on an external drive.
I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes.
HELPiTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

I have tiger 10.4.11. In order for my computer to recognize my new Iphone I need to install the new iTunes, however the new iTunes will not download on my computer because it is not 10.5 or higher. Is there a way that I can upgrade from tiger to leopard? Help!!
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

My iPhone won't appear in the new iTunes. Help!
Just updated iTunes to 11.0.3. Plugged my iPhone 5 into the computer with the USB cable, and it's not showing up on iTunes. The iPhone isn't charging either.
When plugged into a wall adapter, the iPhone charges perfectly.
I've tried restarting both my MacBook and the iPhone, but the issue is still there.
I need to sync my phone with iTunes!Hello
For those of you that are still struggling to get your new iphone 5 to work on a pc laptop with windows 7 and you have tried everything and still nothing works its most probably your cable. Over the past few days I have been struggling to get my iphone 5 to work trying different things that ppl have suggested and nothing ...so today I gave up and took my laptop and cell phone to a technician at an istore and he tried with my cable and nothing, then he tried with his cable and within seconds my laptop recognized the iphone 5.
Hope this helps -
I re-set my password as instructed and have no trouble logging in via my computer but everytime I try to update my applications it says my account is still disabled. URG. Any advice?

My iphone isn't recognized by finder or itunes
Hi,
I got an iphone 3gs not too long ago, and everything seemed to be fine. On the rare occasions that I wanted to sync it, I did so successfully. I don't sync often, so I'm not exactly sure when the problem arose, but in any case, now, when I connect my phone to my macbook, nothing happens. It will charge, but it still won't show up on the desktop, or in the finder under devices, or in itunes.
I just tried reinstalling itunes and it still doesn't work. When I plugged the phone into another computer, it recognized it fine. Both computers currently run 10.6.8.
Anyone know how to help me with this?See Here for Device not Recognised

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.
You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

I installed the new iTunes software update this afternoon and now I can't get my Windows XP to recognize my iPhone 3Gs. It worked fined up until installing today's iTunes update. Anyone else have this issue??
iTunes 10.3.1.55 and previous verisons were freezing up at random times when I would try to connect my phone or while adding music or applications to it. I took the advice posted and restarted the AMDS. So far, that seems to have fixed my problem.
THANKS!!! -
