Not recognized by iTunes

Had my phone for over ayear without a problem, then this.
My iphone when connected to my own pc gives a "device connect" sound, but no battery charge view or recognition in iTunes or Device Manager.
It charges OK on the wall.
It connects to my wife's compter OK. Charges up and connects to iTunes.
My wife's iphone connects to my compter OK. Charges up and connects to iTunes.
Believe me, I have searched the forums and Internet for a solution. I have gone through all the Troubleshooting protocols, shut down all firewalls and anti-virus software, reformated the iphone, downloaded all new drivers and software.
But, my phone does not show up on my iTunes or on my computer. Every other iteration I can think of works OK. Except this one.
Again, I hear the USB "device connected" and"device disconnected" sounds. But, I cannot find my iPhone anywhere on my computer.

  • Froze upgrading ios 6 on connect to itunes screen not recognized by itunes and wont charge no power with usb

    The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
    I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
    Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
      When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
    My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
                        2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
                        3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
                        4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
    I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!
    Any help appreciated.

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes or laptop

    i have an ipod touch 4g and i can't get it to be recognized by my sony vaio laptop.
    i recently got a new laptop and just finished transferring my itunes library over to it.
    i went to sync my ipod, but i had endless problems with my old and new library. long story short, i reset it completely.
    on my ipod, i set everything back to their old settings and whatnot, but when i went to sync it, my ipod didnt show up in my computer or itunes.
    i restarted, checked for updates, and all that with amds and itunes. i followed every suggestion from apple support, troubleshoot, and ran diagnostics from itunes. the diagnostics still say that there is not an ipod found.
    on its own, my ipod functions correctly and recognizes to be charged from my usb port. itunes and windows wont recognize it though
    is there anything else i can do? this is really frustrating me.
    thanks!

    - So you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Does it charge?
    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Try a known good compuuter.
    - Reset the iPod, nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes or windows.

    Hi there, I have an 80gb Ipod classic which is not recognized by itunes or windows. The "Use iTunes to restore" message appears on my ipod but when I connect it to my pc itunes does not recognize it. Windows shows a message informing me that I need to format the drive but is then unable to do so. Ipod will not go into disk mode either. I have tried reinstalling itunes and using the ipod in a different usb drive. I have also connected it to a mac and a windows pc but nothing happens. I have tried to use the diagnostics mode on the ipod but that will not work either. I am wondering if my ipod's hard drive is corrupted.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.

  • IPhone 3G is not recognized by iTunes installed on MAC PRO

    I have attempted to connect iTunes after Mac Pro system restore with iPhone 3G, but iTunes does not recognize any connection from iPhone. When I plug iPhone into my MacBook Pro iTunes immediately recognizes iPhone and begins sync process. I restored iPhone software while on MacBook Pro, but did not sync MacBook Pro iTunes.

  • IPod is not recognized by iTunes... Driver folder not in Mobile Device Support?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. First, my iPod wasn't even recognized in Windows. After following the various Apple articles, I solved this.
    But now, my iPod won't be recognized in iTunes. I've been trying to follow this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 which has worked so far. But the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed. I follow along as to what to do to solve this until I reach "
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows, this folder may be stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl.inf" file which is listed in this folder. (This file will be called "usbaapl64.inf" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows)."
    My Mobile Device Support does not have a folder called "Drivers" and my computer does not have any file listed as "usbaapl.inf" anywhere. I'm guessing that this could be the source of the problem. But I can't fix it unless I know where to find these drivers, and I don't know they are on my computer or how to get them.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks
    Gina
