Phone locked upgrading to latest software, ITunes does not recognise phone

My phone has locked while upgrading to the latest software. I suspect the reason is security running on my PC as this occurred onece before. Anyway, the screen is frozen showing the itunes/USB connection graphic. I can't reset the phone using any of the suggested methods on help, and iTunes doesn't recognise the phone so I can't restore. I've read the help menus for the last two hours and I'm stuck.
Help please.

Try DFU-mode:
connect iPhone
press + hold power & home for approx 7 seconds (screen should turn black)
release power, but keep on holding home until (hopefully) iTunes recognizes your iPhone

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now Itunes does not recognise my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work. Although after reading about other people with similar issues on past window updates I think I may need to uninstall all apple software .
I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

Try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

I have a 6th gen nano and windows 8.1. Itunes does not recognise my nano anymore. I have tunes to download

B noir
Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Itunes does not recognise CDs................please help

i've had my ipod for a few months now and it hasnt been a problem before as it has always imported CDs fine onto my ipod but recently whenever i insert a CD into the drive itunes does not recognise that i have put a CD in and it cant be the CDs that i put in as i have leant one of them to my friend and she said its worked fine on her itunes, when i insert the CD and go onto run CD diagnostics this comes up,

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive D: HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.
i dont even understand what this means, please help!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx xxxx

Well the report just tells basics of your setup and errors going on in short. Error -128 means either you or iTUnes cancelled the burn before it even started.
Your issue tho is you have no lower filter. you should have 2, and upper filter and a lower filter. Now Im not that good with the filter thing just yet, but I think if you reinstall itunes it will install the lower filter you need.
You will want to remove itunes AND quicktime in the control panel>Add/remove. Dis able any antivirus/security programs so they do not interferr with iTUnes and then download and install the latest iTunes from www.apple.com

Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
Thanks for your thoughts!

I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

Iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it

I updated the software on my iphone4 and after updating the iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it. i have reloaded itunes, done a hard reset and still nothing. any ideas?

Gotcha,
If you have an iCloud account you might want to consider syncing that way so you won't have to use cables but that is certainly up to you.
Try:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup iCal: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iOS device and attempt a sync.
--- Check the Info tab in iTunes to make sure calendars are still set to sync.
If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

How can i connect my iphone 4 s with itunes? itune does not recognise the iphone when it is connected

Hi, i have received an iphone 4s from japan! whwn i connect it to my pc, itunes does not recognise it. what can i do?

For this issue you might try a couple things.
First, try to restart the Apple Mobile Device service by clicking Start and searching for Services. Stop the service, then restart the service.
If that doesn't work, you can remove and reinstall iTunes.

This article will help with that process. Follow it exactly.

although PC is connected to the internet itunes can't find the connection
have an ipod nano
this is complicating things as I can't change what's on the ipod either

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

Solution .Itunes does not recognise your your burner

If itunes does not recognise your burner, look in (my computer) if you have more drive than you actually have.if this is the case, you have a logical drive. You must go in your control panel and disable it. When you will try to burn .Itunes is gonna see your burner and ask you if you want to use it .

I also have a similar problem.
I have an 80g. Library was in fine working order.
Now, I had my computer wiped out, with a new itunes library.
I want to transfer my ipod music to my itunes library, but all of the programs to help me do this will not recognize my ipod, even on disk use and manual settings.
What do I do without clearing my ipod music?
