Does it charge?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Messages will send to my iPhone and will not appear on my mac until 15 minutes later, how do I fix this so there is not a waiting time?

I bought a brand new Macbook Air about a month ago, and up until a few days ago whenever I would receive or send a message on my iPhone, it would show up on my Macbook at exactly the same time. Now, a message may come to my iPhone and will not appear in my Macbook messages until 15 minutes or more later. How do I fix this?

Hello jendur,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are still receiving messages on both the iOS device and the Mac it just takes a while. Have you tried signing out and back on the Apple ID in messages on the Mac? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

ITunes recognizes my iPhone, but will not connect to the iTunes Store

After having to re-install all the software on my computer, iTunes will recognize my iPhone 4 okay, but will not log into the iTunes Store using a valid user name and password. I can still log in to the iTunes store on my iPhone, but just not on my computer. I get an error message that says, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." I also conducted the "Run Diagnostics" test for network connectivity tests, device connectivity tests, and device sync tests. All three tests passed with green lights. However, I still get the following error message "One moment please, Connecting to the iTunes Store, Loading..." when I highlight the iTunes Store and attempt to log in with no success. I also disabled the Windows 7 firewall as I did get a previous error message that said iTunes was not enabled in the Windows firewall. I have my computer configured the same exact way I did before having to reinstall all my programs, and iTunes worked fine. I've included some of the comments from the diagnostics below...
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

IPhone 4 will not show up in iTunes

My new iPhone 4G is NOT showing up in iTunes when I plug it into my computer.I've updated my operating system and I have the current edition of iTunes. I just did a software update and now my computer is installing an airport base station update but I don't even use airport for my wireless.
Has anyone else had this issue?? Any help would be appreciated!

If your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or iPod nano (5th generation) is not recognized in iTunes on a Mac, you might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Look at this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

i have already updated to the latest version of iTunes, and even unplugged the phone to try to restart the process of discovery.

Hello Georgina,
It sounds like your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes as expected. I recommend either of these troubleshooting articles depending on the version of your operating system:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

or

My iPhone 3G will not turn on, but iTunes recognizes it to sync. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? This was a sudden occurance-phone worked without issue before.

This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G. I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour. When I went to use it again, nothing happens. The home button will not call up the lock screen. The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it. When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync. Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end.
The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty. Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
Thank you in advance.
Shannon

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

New iphone 5s will not connect wireless to itunes

I recently upgraded from 4s to 5s on 2 units. The 4s would sync wireless to airport but both new 5s will not. Neither my phone or my wife's phones will connect wireless but will when connected. I have checked 'Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi' under Summary when connected by cable and other system settings on the phones seem to be in order. I have searched Apple site and believe all necessary steps have been taken.

I thought I should say something since I had the same problem with iTunes 11.1.3 connecting my iOS devices. iPhone 4, 5, iPad 4th gen, all on latest iOS7. My setup is on macpro 3.1. I tried updating OS, from OSX Lion, ML and Mavericks. Obviously, updating OS did not solve the issue. iTunes was the latest and greatest at 11.1.3 on all of them. I also had the annoying TRUST message pop up constantly, while it could connect to iPhoto, but no iTunes, for backup and syncing.
Long story short, found out on various forums people were having success syncing their iOS devices again on previous versions of iTunes. In my case, 11.1. Going back to 10.7, it will not support iOS 7. For this, you need to delete iTunes 11.1.3.
I found this helpful, but beware it involves Terminal.
http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/06/delete-itunes-mac-os-x/
Then, through good ol' google, I could fine a previous version of iTunes 11.1.
Installed it, connected my iPhone 5, and voilà, iPhone detected as before, and ready to backup and sync.
Spent many days researching this, it may not resolve the issue for everyone, but I hope it can help some folks running into a similar issue.
