My Itunes wont find my iphone after I updated to 10.7

I updated to 10.7 and since then i haven't been abke to find my iphone. I go through my computer and I'm easily able to find it through my computer and device manager but not in itunes. I ran the diagnostics and it came back to tell me there was nothing there -.-'
I then restarted my computer and my phone and plugged it back in through multiple usb ports but still no luck. When i go to itunes to check for updates it returns a message saying its up to date. When i close out of that window by chance another window pops up saying that an iphone has been identified but cannot be recognized properly, please disconnect and reconnect the iphone and try again. But when i do that nothing happens. I am trying my best not to unistall the software and reinstall it... Anyone else run into this issue? and if so any tips? I also looked through my services and all the necessary services are running properly. Thanks for your time guys!

I hate to say it, but Apple is literally infamous for teething problems on new releases. It's usually fixed in two days, though that fix usually gets fixed, too, so sometimes a week, but does means downloading new updates.
My (experienced) advice? Wait a couple of days, check for updates, try again. Pray (or whatever works for you) that you don't have the "lost Apple Device Driver" problem several people are having.
I keep an older version of iTunes installer on a backup drive (or just in my downloads folder), just for such events. Worst-case, I've always been able to uninstall iTunes (including driver and user info), then install my old version of iTunes and roll on. Yes, my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive, so I can move it around to my different computers, and then keep a backup of that hard drive on a second external hard drive. Saves me a ton of headaches.

  • I erased my macbook air and reinstalled the disc that came with it, but now iTunes wont find my iphone. What should I do?

    I erased my macbook air because it was running really slow (it didn't resolve the problem). I reinstalled the disc that came with it (Mac OS X 10.6.8), but now iTunes cant find my iphone. I need to back up my data from my iphone 4s to my computer so I can transfer the info to my iphone 5. Can anyone help?

  • Itunes doesn't recognize iphone after last update

    Hello again, GiannisFromAthens.
    At this point, considering that the primary issue is with getting the Windows update resolved, we need to get that taken care of first. To do so you may need to consult Microsoft, or whoever supports the installation of Windows on your computer, for more troubleshooting to resolve it.
    Once that is resolved, if you are still experiencing the issue, you may find better information by using another of Apple's Support resources at https://expresslane.apple.com/GetProductGroupList.action for a more hands on response.

  • I cannot move music from my itunes library to my iphone after an update

    Hi
    I recently updated my iphone 3GS and now I cannot move any music from my itunes library to my iphone. I have also had to sync my iphone with my laptop as my PC that I used before no longer works.

    Connect the phone to your computer
    Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
    Click once on it in that list
    Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

  • ITunes not recognizing my iPhone after I updated my OS to Leopard

    I have been successfully syncing my iPhone 3G for many months now. But this week I updated my OS to 10.5.6 and ran all the additional updates. Now when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't see it. I have iTunes 8 installed. I have shut down and restarted my machine and my iPhone several times.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Envision99 is nearly correct.
    First thing to try is to re-install iTunes (download it HERE and run the installer) - but, there's no need to uninstall it first. If that does not correct the problem, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS, as described in this linked kbase article.

    Itunes wont let my iphone restore, an unknown error occured (2003). I only pressed restore button.

    Hey there Palmer
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
    how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

    I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
    When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
    How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

    The app being installed on the missing device has absolutely nothing to do with being about to track that device.
    Did you activate the Find My iPhone feature prior to the device being lost?
    If the answer is yes, go to iCloud.com and track the device.
    If the answer is no, there is no way to track the device.

  • Itunes wont reconise my iphone!!!

    I just installed Leopard a couple of days ago, and also upgraded itunes to 7.7.1 and ever since itunes wont recognize my iphone or ipods. When i plug my phone in it charges and iphoto pops up, but thats it itunes refuses to show any device. Has this happened to anyone else? would downgrading itunes work?

    hi Shiftyraz,
    I was having the same problem, however, i just re-installed itunes and everything appears to be working. All I did was drag the itunes.app to the trash and re-install.
