"Trust this computer" message in iPhone 5 each time it's plugged, not recognized by iTunes

iPhone 5 using iOS7 is not recognized by iTunes. It keeps popping up "Trust this computer" message each time I plug it in to my laptop (Windows 8). It shows in my devices in my computer. Both my iPad with Retina display and iPod touch 5th generation are recognized. I have followed instructions for this issue but not working, help!

I just wasted 2 hours of my life with this.  Finally figured it out.
If the above suggestion doesn't work (it did not work for me as the above poster completely failed to identify where to find this "MPT" and it was not listed in my device manager anywhere) .....
1)  Go to control panel > type Device Manager into your search box there
2)  Go down to "Portable Devices"  (the Apple help documents are a total fail on this one too as they say to look in "Cameras" after taking a "Screen shot" with the iPhone.  Did not work.)
3)  Inside Portable Devices you should see "Apple iPhone".  If you don't, expand every one of the Device Manager things until you find Apple iPhone listed.  Then ...
Then from the Apple support page:
For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.
Once I browsed to that exact file and installed it, it worked.  iTunes popped up and loaded the phone.
Hope this helps someone.  There's *no reason* this should be happening.  This is a brand new iPhone 5s for me on Windows 8.  The Apple help files need to be corrected.

  • Trust this computer message on a contstant loop on my iphone 4s

    I just bought a macbook pro running OS X 10.9.1. When i plug in my iphone 4s, using the original apple cable, the "trust this computer" message flashes up on myiphone  screen and i'm unable to press" trust " as the message is flicking on and off. Itunes therefore does not recognoise the iphone and I cannot charge it. Seen this thread elsewhere suggesting it was a non apple USB cable. This is not the issue.  Help!

    I had a similar problem once but was quick to solve it by a fix to most everything:
    Update.
    I'm running a VM of Windows XP 32 bit and had all of my filters, extension packs and whatnot applied to VirtualBox but the computer kept disconnecting and reconnecting everytime i touched "Trust". The issue?
    I was running iTunes >>>8<<<
    Wowsers!
    So I decided to get rid of it and install itunes 12 and it immediaely solved the issue
    SO IN SHORT: make sure your mobile device driver is at its latest version.

  • Disable TRUST THIS COMPUTER message

    Any way I could disable the TRUST THIS COMPUTER message when I connect to the same pc ?
    Thanks

    After Apple's 10 or so suggestions, including complicated mscongif and regedit approachs, all failed... I found this, easy enough to follow solution that actually worked. in a single user's post in the forums here somewhere.  Can't find it again to say thanks to whoever it was, which prompted me to post it everywhere so everyone else can find it:
    (Note: this is for Windows 8, but the solution for other versions is similar - you might need to try a few other folders, but are still looking for "Apple Device" under "Device Manager".)
    Connect your iPad/iPhone/iPod to your PC
    Go to: Control Panel > Device Manager
    Click on: Portable Devices
    Right click on: Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod > Update Driver Software
    Choose: Browse my computer for driver software.
    Go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    Click okay and everything should suddenly work fine again.  (I can't remember if I had to choose "trust" again, but if I did, I only had to do it the once and everything was fixed after that).

  • On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

    Hi pedro109,
    If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article

  • I clicked don't trust this computer on my iphone while connected to my new macbook how do I revert that ?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to switch my iTunes library from my work ( Lenovo laptop ) to my new personal MacBook Pro.  My library is accessible from my iPhone and iPad so I decided to plug my iPhone into my MacBook Pro but by mistake I clicked "don't trust this computer" when I got the popup on my iPhone ... Anyone know how to revert that ?
    and at the same time .. anyone can give me a good tip to easily switch my library from my Lenovo Laptop to my MacBook ? I want to de-install itunes on my work computer ( the Lenovo )
    Thank you

    Hi Rebekah...
    This problem seemed to have worked itself out... Somewhere amongst these solutions...
    1. Reinstall iTunes
    2. Restart computer
    3. Restart iDevice
    It didn't at first, and I thought to myself... "Oh great, another problem which Apple doesn't acknowledge as existing", but don't worry. Give it a couple of restarts, and if all else fails... Create a new Windows Logon and try from there.
    It just happens I was in the middle of reformatting my PC and resinstalling Windows 7, so it wasn't so much an issue when I wiped as it worked when I tried it on a fresh system.
    Hope something helps...

  • Trust this computer message, is it going to delete my stuff?

    When I plugged my ipod into my laptop, I got this message that says allow this device to access information, then says continue. When I clicked that, it then says trust this computer or don't trust it. I was wonder if it's going to delete everything I have on my device. My apps, music, and photos.

    Nothing gets deleted. If you do NOT trust the computer you can't access the iPod wth the computer.

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Hi,
    My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi AmberX92,
    If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • HT2292 I have a 3GS iphone.It was working alright with iTunes.Recently, it was unlocked. After it was unlocked, the iphone is functioning alright but it is not recognized by iTunes and iTunes stops working, when I connect iphone.Any advice please.

    I have a 3GS iphone. It was jailbroken and working alright.But I was not able to upgrade its IOS frrom 4.0.1 to higher versions and many applicatopns were not compatible with this version of the IOS. So I decided to do a factory unlocking. From an website, based in Mumbai, I unlocked it. When I check now in different websites from my IMEI number, my iphone is unlocked. So I became happy that I can now upgrade my iphone. But the events turned to be different.When I connected to iTunes, iTunes stopped working and my iphone did not appear in the iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes after cleaning previous registry of all relatedd components like Quicktime, Bejour,Apple software updates and mobile softwares. I also used msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in software of Windows 7 ultimate but still my iTunes is not working, when I connect the iphone. If I do not connect the iphone, iTunes is working alright. Can any friend give me some advice how to proceed. I do not like comments like Jailbreaking is illegal and should not have been done. Please advice me what should I do right now. Thanking you all and expecting some valuable suggestions from this expert community.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

  • Iphone 5 Trust this Computer message keeps popping

    So when i connected my Apple cable which came with my iphone 5 box to my desktop Window 7 Ultimate,the charging icon keep disconnecting and connecting very fast and my phone keeps shaking,and every like around 2-5 minutes the trust message pops up for like 0.20 seconds and then disappears. So i tried press it when it immediatly pops up and i failed  to do it because it's way too fast,so i tested it on my other laptop and it worked just fine.
    But when i close and reopened my itune,the message popped up for 1 second,i quickly pressed trust and i thought it worked but then it happened again,the charing icon keeps disconnecting.
    This is frustrating me,any suggestions?
    Oh and i've already updated my itunes to 11.1 already.

    Hi,
    I have followed those steps. Updating the driver selecting the file from the local folder in the computer as also searching on the internet but says driver is up to date and this annoying message keeps showing and showing every 2 seconds making the personal hotspot been disconnected. The only moment when this message keeps showing up is when I connect my computer to the personal hotspot.
    Any further suggestions?
    Apple/ Iphone support team does not know anything about this issue and they couldn’t give any solution!
