My iphone 4s won't connect to itunes and everything is updated

i even resetted my setting on my phone

Hi mars20,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you connect your iPhone 4s to your computer it does not show up in iTunes. If iTunes in your Windows computer is not recognizing the iPhone when it is connected, I suggest the steps in the following article.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I hope this helps,

My new iPhone 5 won't connect to iTunes, and when I connect to my computer it comes up as a usb storage device, also in the phone itself under usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and sd card 64 gb, is this an original iPhone or have I been sold a copy

My new iphone 5 can not connect to itunes, it comes up as a usb storage device when I plug it in, also in the phone under settings/usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and SD card of 64gb, I cannot get it to connect to itunes at all so cannot sync etc, is this a genuine Iphone or a copy. I have owned 4 iphones and never had a problem with connecting to iphones and restoreing to a backup.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
It does not use SD cards.
Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

IPhone 6 won't connect to iTunes

iPhone 6 won't connect to iTunes on my computer. My iPad Mini works fine & connects every time it is connected.

Did you update to the latest iTunes? Fixed some issues I had.

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode

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.

You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

Hi,
Thanks.
I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
Thanks

What can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

what can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

You also are not showing any cellular service. Have you contacted your provider regarding that? Regarding your WiFi, do you have wifi turned on in settings? Did you get your phone to show up in iTunes on your computer? I think we are dealing with several issues since you said that you have a message on your phone to connect to iTunes and you don't have cellular service.

Hello Mayanii,
This display and behavior indicates that the iPad is in recovery mode and must be restored.

Not enough storage on icloud and iphone 5s won't connect to itunes

my iphone 5s is out of storage in icloud. i can't back up my phone with icloud and i've tried to delete photos and apps and emails and it hasnt made a dent. and my iphone won't connect to itunes on my computer. i've connected my phone to my computer before and iv tried everything i know to get it to connect but it wont, and the question will pop up on my phone if i want to trust my computer and i say trust because iv done it before but it still wont connect! please help.

When you delete camera roll photos, it doen't reduce your iCloud storage because camera roll photos are only stored on your device. It will reduce the size of your next backup though because the camera roll is included in the backup. (Deleting photo stream photos won't make any difference because they are not stored in your iCloud account.) That's why I was asking if you saw a reduction in the estimated size of your next backup after deleting camera roll photos. You can see the estimated size of your next backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device under Backups and look under Backup Options. This same screen gives you a list of the amount of data being used by the camera roll and your apps in the next backup, with the option to exclude these from the backup.
Deleting email should reduce your iCloud storage as it is stored in your iCloud account.
You're probably going to have problems backing up 4 devices to the same iCloud account without purchasing additional storage. Most device backups are in excess of 1GB. Four device would probably exhaust your free 5GBs of storage, leaving you no room for email, contacts, calendars, notes and other synced data. If you don't need to share the same data with all four devices, another option would be to migrate some (or all) of them to separate accounts, giving them 5GB of free storage each. Another option would be to backup some of the device to your computer using iTunes rather than iCloud.
This article provides some suggestions on ways to reduce your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

IPhone 2G won't connect to iTunes

I did a factory reset on my original iPhone, now it won't connect to iTunes.
iTunes is up to date (v11.4), an iOS is also (v 3.1.3).
What gives, Apple??? It worked fine before the restore.

Yes, I tried recovery and DFU. Neither works. Even when the phone is clearly in recovery and dfu modes, it still doesn't show up on iTunes or even device manager. I've also tried downgrading iTunes to an old version, but still no luck. I've tried PC's and Macs; I've tried new cables. I think Apple is bricking old phones to get people to buy new ones.

Iphone 3gs won't connect to itunes

I've tried everything, but my iphone won't connect to itunes. Does anyone have some advice? I'm desperate right now.

If you computer recognizes your iPhone but iTunes doesnt try uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. If your computer doesnt recognize your iPhone try a different cable and different USB ports, if it still doesnt connect try connecting your 3GS to another computer. If it connects to another computer fine then their is something wrong with the usb ports on your computer.
