No sound from iPhone & iTunes not recognizing iPhones.

I visited Genius Bar today because my home button was sometimes not working. As a result, my home button is fine, but iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and it acts like it's on 'silent' even though it's not.

Iphone4 - No sound or voice when call connected
Is anyone up for the challenge on this one? I’ve tried everything here:
The microphone and speaker works using the microphone on voice memos
The speaker works for music and to pick up voicemail.
There is no ringing sound when making a call, I cannot hear them and they cannot hear me      when the call is connected.
I have:
Cleaned the docking connection of any dirt/fluff
Cleaned the headphone jack chamber
Cleaned the receiver
Restored on factory settings
Restored to factory settings in DFU mode
All to no avail!!
I  have not taken it apart to put a piece of plastic on the audio chip as  suggested here because I don’t think that will help as the speaker and  microphone work. It is outside warranty. Handing it back to Apple is the  easy option but I can upgrade soon and anyway, I am convinced some  fantastic individual out there has the solution or at least tell me what  is going on!!

  • Are the sounds from iPhone suppose to be on iTunes?

    are the sounds from iPhone suppose to be on iTunes on my playlist in my phone and computer?

    I have the 4 and 5S and other than the finger print reader there's really not much difference in ease of use. In my opinion the finger print reader makes the phone easier, or perhaps I should say nicer to use if you use the passcode lock. Both phones have the same OS version and operate the same way albeit the 5S is faster and smoother. You also get a bit of software eye candy with the 5S thats not on the 4. The camera on the 5S is significantly better than the 4 which I thought was quite good considering its a phone. Or is it a camera with a phone? No matter, there are other small differences but I think you'll appreciate what the 5S has to offer.

  • How can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    how can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    Hello Laurien123,
    Can you tell me a little more about your situation?  I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.   You authorize your computer to sync or download iTunes; you associate your iPhone with your Apple ID, not with iTunes.
    Please reply if you can with a little more information, and I'll do what I can to help.
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Have a great day!

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

    I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

    Re: iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5 
    Feb 16, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to oryyx)
    Had this problem this morning.
    Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
    This morning had the problem,too.
    Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
    Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • HT1430 no sound from iphone 4 oheadphones are connected can i hear music nly if or some one talking to me

    no sound from iphone only if headphones are connected can i hear music or some one speaking to me

    Thanks, but I should have clarified:  I already have USB syncing set up with iTunes on my Mac and have been adding music to my iPhone for years that way; now with the latest IOS, it no longer appears to be working.  I follow the exact steps I always have (and which are outlined in the link provided), but no actual music is downloaded to my phone- if I am not connected to a wi-fi network, I cannot listen to my music unless I download it from iCloud.  (And downloading it from iCloud is a laborious task because I have many songs.)

  • ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
    Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
    My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
    Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

    Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

    Try a restart.
    If no effect, then try a reset.
    If no effect, then try a restore from backup.
    If no effect, then try a restore as new.
    If no effect, likely a hardware issue, and you should schedule an appointment at a local Apple store.

  • Solution!!! (for iTunes not recognizing Nano)

    I've written this as a reply to the thread below as well - but as it seems more than just our friend below has this problem I've also posted this as a separate post
    Hi everybody,
    I have - like many of you, suffered through this frustrating process of Windows recognizing the Nano and yet iTunes not recognizing it, and after some research I think I may have found a solution (perhaps not THE solution).
    Just so you are aware, I just want to warn you that I'm not some computer science expert or anything, and this is a pretty old article (written May 2006, http://pluralsight.com/blogs/keith/archive/2006/05/26/25476.aspx), BUT I think this works on iTunes 7.0 because it is now detecting my nano. Basically I think what the problem is that the Nano is supposed to be formatted as FAT32 to work with iTunes but for many of us outdated Nano users the Nano is still formatted as FAT.
    So like the blog author has written, we need to go and run the Windows disk management tool (if you are not a computer person like I really am not, just go to Windows help and search "disk management" and it'll give you a link that brings you directly there). The disk management tool will probably show the C drive and then the iPod as well as any extraneous hardware. RIGHT CLICK on the iPod (it should be there since all of you are saying that XP recognizes it), format it to FAT32 (it will warn you that info on your ipod may be erased, but this doesn't matter since it's just info on your ipod and your music is on your C drive anyway). I didn't re-run the iPod updater like the blogger did (especially since the iPod updater is apparently included in iTunes 7.0 now and the latest one, which I believe is iPod updater 6-28-06..is now outdated and invalid)...but the next time I ran iTunes, it recognized the iPod!!!!!! HORRAY
    So in simple instruction form,
    - Open Windows disk management window (Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management)
    - Once you have this window open, click on Disk Management (under Storage)
    - If like you say, your XP recognizes your iPod (but iTunes doesn't), then your iPod should be listed under that window along with your C drive (and maybe others). Under File System, it might say FAT.
    - If it does, RIGHT CLICK your iPOD and choose Format
    - Change the Format from FAT to FAT32. (It will warn you that everything will be erased but that's ok)
    Btw I also restored the nano (to factory settings).
    I hope this helps...was glad to find there were other people suffering through the same thing. Misery loves company! Please let me know if it worked for you and if you have questions

    I too am a victim of upgrading to iTunes 7.0 I reformatted my nano per instructions, even though it already was FAT32. I reset the nano as well, still no joy. What's interesting is that if I restart the computer with the nano plugged in, it recognizes it and tells me that I need to update to 1.2. As soon as I do this, however, it says that it's updating, but the ipod goes from 'do not disconnect' to the normal menu. iTunes says it’s updating, but it never does. I need to kill the process through task manager to get it to quit.
    Additionally, if I choose not to update, the nano shows up in iTunes just fine and I can move songs to the nano. (I have it set to manually update the nano as I have more songs in my library than the nano can hold.)
    However, as soon as I ‘eject’ the nano, reconnecting it does not show the nano, whether I stay in iTunes or close iTunes and then unplug and plug in the nano. The nano shows ‘do not disconnect’, and windows sees the nano, but still no joy in iTunes.
    FYI, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software and tried all the directions at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Which I was directed to when doing the diagnostics on the iPod through iTunes.
    This is a total crock. Some upgrade.

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

  • ITunes Not Recognizing/Reading iPod

    Hello!
    I've recently had trouble with iTunes not recognizing/reading my iPod. I've plugged it in, but iTunes fails to recognize that it's been plugged in. It does charge, but that's it. I've been trying to sync my iPod, but I'm now unable to. This problem only began a few weeks ago, rather suddenly, and has not yet worked since then. I'm hoping I don't have reinstall iTunes, as I've purchased some new songs and those are what I'm trying to copy over, and I don't wish to lose those.
    I'm currently running Windows Vista, and I'm not sure which versions of iTunes I'm using. I know I was using 7 at some point, but I don't remember if I've updated beyond that. I'm also using a 2nd Generation iPod Nano.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening and/or what I can do to fix it will be eagerly waited for!
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually). Read through them all, and see if one specifically matches your observed issue(s).
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. However, it may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    Your iPod may be conflicting with other USB peripherals or network drives. If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    -- Open iTunes &/or Connect the iPod
    If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
    Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
    Try using another PC if you have access to one. Even a Mac may help. Try Restoring it on the other computer and moving it back to yours.

  • ITunes not recognizing new PC and, therefore, doesn't recognize my IPOD

    ITunes not recognizing new PC even though it says it is authorized. The result: ITunes doesn't recognize my IPOD. It does still have my old PC name attached to my account. What can I do to rectify this situation?

    It could be a tiny bit of fluff in the dock that's preventing a particular wire from connecting. A magnifying glass and a decent light should let you inspect the port. If there is any rubbish lodged in the dock opening use a can of compressed air or a fine needle to ease it out taking care not to damage the connectors.

  • Itunes not recognizing 1st gen nano?

    itunes not recognizing 1st gen nano?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
