My iPhone 5 wont connect to my itunes

Hi every one
I posted this same problem up a few months ago and i have tried everything that people had posted and i havent managed to fix the problem. So im just going to run through it again and hope someone might come through with something new that i havent tried so here goes this is the story.
My iPhone 5 or iPad Mini used to connect to itunes fine but now have suddenly stopped for some reason. Im sure that the problem is something thats changed on my computer because it connects to an other laptop no problem so something isnt right.
Ive tried pretty much everything on the apple site that people have recomended but was just woundering weather anyone knew anything else.
I also have an iPod Nano but this has the old 30pin connector lead and heres the weird thing it connects no problem so why does the iphone and ipad not connect ??????
I have tried differnt leads and a connector which connects to my iphone then connects with a 30 pin connector and no luck .
Any help would be very grateful
Thanks

If the iPhone connects to iTunes on another computer, the problem definitely lies with this particular computer.
The iPod Nano does not run iOS, so not a valid comparison. If you could connect an iPod Touch or iPad but not your iPhone, that would be a valid comparison.

Please list everything you have tried with no success, and which OS version is installed on this computer and the same for iTunes?

  • Iphone 4 wont connect/sync with itunes? Try this:)

    My problem was much the same as others had and still have on this forum. With tips and tricks"uninnstall this and that, restart and uppgrade and downgrade!"
    And by random in between all the replies, someone said: Dont bother with recovery mode,downgrade or uninnstalls. Check if you have megakey and/or megaupload on your pc. If so, just uninnstall them with controlpanel, reboot your pc, and in windows, connect the USB to your iphone4 and start iTunes! VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works like a charm.
    Thanks to the one who posted it to start with. Sorry for not catching your name, but i had almost given up. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My iPad and iPhone wont connect to my iTunes Library.

    My iPad Air and iPhone 5s wont connect to my iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro.
    Both will see the library and try to connect but as it reaches 1/4 of the way it stops.
    If I turn off my iTunes Match on both devices, the full library loads on the iPhone only. I can go into the library and it will play. Does iTunes Match have to be turned off?
    On the iPad, it shows the that shared library is connected to but it wont allow me to move off that screen. It freezes. I push the home button and it closes. I can reopen but it is no longer connected to the library. I cannot get further than this.
    My Apple TV works perfectly connected to the same library.
    I dont have more than 5000 songs in my library or more than 10 movies and 300 + episodes  of TV series.
    Any ideas to what could be causing the issue with the iPad?

    Forgot to mention. Have tried obvious things like rbooting Mac and iPhone and iPad with no success

  • Iphone 4s wont connect to Itunes.

    I recently updated iTunes to 12 on my computer and now my iPhone 4s wont connect to the computer but my iPad Air will.
    I deleted and re-installed iTunes, (I'm running windows 8.1)
    The software is updated on my phone (ios 8.1)
    I've reset location and privacy settings and network settings on my phone
    Restarted both the phone and my laptop
    Re started the apple mobile service device
    Checked that my security software isn't stopping iTunes which it isnt.
    Tried all the USB ports on my laptop
    I'm still using my original iPhone cable
    And it still wont connect, every time i plug it into the computer it just comes up with
    "trust this computer" no matter how many times i click trust it doesn't accept my phone so that i can access it.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks!

  • My hard drive went and when i got my computer back from being fixed my itunes had been deleted, so i re installed it however my ipad wont connect to the itunes as its not registered to this itune, also all my songs arent on here what do i do?

    There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4".  Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
    It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files.  Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen.  Do you not have a backup?  The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
    If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
    No one can magically make them re-appear.

  • My phone wont connect to my itunes after i tried to restore it and it failed. what should i do?

    Ive been up all night trying to fix my phone. i recently tried to restore my phone so i could start it out fresh. i left for a minute while it was restoring and came back to have a message on my laptop saying it failed to restore. My iphone now wont connect to itunes nor my computer since it doesn't show up under "computer". i have already reinstalled itunes, shut off my phone and laptop, and manually tried to reset phone by holding home button and lock screen button. i really need some assitance quick, and their support guides confuse me and misleads me a lot. Help greatly appreciate

    Try this:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
    3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
    4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
    5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
    6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".

    Hi there.wondering if u can help.My iphone 5 wont connect to wi fi.Any suggestions.Thanks.Robert

    Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then relog into WiFi. If still problem, maybe the WiFi Network you are using is the problem. If the WiFi is OK, then Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still a problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

    From Apple's website and printed on the box the mini came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
    You will have to update to at least OS X 10.6.8 or later, otherwise known as snow leopard.
