My phone isn't being recognized by itunes, It is stuck in loading.
and I am not able to click on any options in the device drop down menu. I just want to sync some new music to my phone.
Quit iTunes.
Disconnect your iPhone from your PC.
Go to Control Panel.
List installed software and remove the driver software for the iPhone. It's named something like "Driver or Device, Apple iPhone".
Restart Windows 7.
Connect your iPhone, make sure it the screen is not locked.
Windows should automatically re-install the driver software for the iPhone now.
If it has done that, start iTunes.
iTunes should now detect your iPhone again.
Kind regards,

My phone isn't being recognized by iTunes?
i have an iPhone 4s and a windows 8 computer. for awhile now my phone hasn't been recognized or has synced to iTunes. the icon won't show at the top right when i plug my phone in,but my cord works perfectly fine. i even try to sync the music ive gotten from my itunes through the file area below, but it doesn't work. also when i go into my windows folders to see the devices connected, it shows my iPhone that shows below. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and all the steps that apple gives here >iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows< but it doesn't seem to work. my phone isn't updated to the latest iOS.. could that be generated to the problem also? please and thanks!
Also, this is what it shows when i try to drag a music file from my iTunes to where it says Apple iPhone.

My ipod touch 5th generation is not being recognized by my computer under devices or in itunes; however, when I click on devices and printers it comes up under "unspecified" and is labeled as "Apple mobile device usb driver." I right clicked the icon and hit troubleshooter and it opened itunes and told me I should restore and update my ipod. I did this twice and nothing has changed, it is still not being recognized. This is a big problem because the only thing that will pop up on the screen of my ipod is the symbol for the usb plug with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol (meaning plug into itunes I assume). I have tried restarting my ipod and restarting my computer and nothing is working. I have the most recent version of itunes. How do I fix this?
first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
