TS1363 iphone connectivity cannot be established. Iphone not recognized

When I plug in my iphone to the computer, I get a message that says it is not recognized

Update: Ok, I have been playing around with this for quite some time now and have come to a few conclusions.
First, it appears that this is being caused (at least for me) by corrupt files in my iTunes library. My iPod (30 GB, 5G) syncs with my complete library but my iPhone only syncs with 1 playlist. So I completely wiped all music from my iPhone and started to re-sync one album at a time (extremely time-consuming). I got through the letters 'A' and 'B' ok but when I got to the 'C's, boom, error message.
At this point, I opened the playlist in iTunes and deleted the last album I dragged into it. Then I disconnected my iPhone, re-connected it and did another sync, thereby deleting that last album off the iPhone. Then I added the next album and re-synced again and everything went smoothly. So now I am up to the letter 'G' but this process is painstakingly slow.
Now obviously it was most likely only one song in each of these "bad" albums that was corrupt but I didn't want to go song-by-song just yet.
Based on the fact that I used CopyTrans to rescue my library off my iPod after a hard drive crash, my first assumption is that this process somehow corrupted several files while loading them back into my newly installed version of iTunes. The only thing I can't figure out is, if this is actually the case, why have I not had the same problem syncing my iPod. It has been syncing perfectly, both before and after the hard drive crash/recovery?
What I need to find is a way to identify ALL of the corrupt files (if this is in fact what is causing the problem) quicker than copying to the playlist then syncing to the iPhone. Does anyone know of any software out there that can be used for this purpose? It doesn't have to be free either as, like CopyTrans, I don't mind paying for something that works. Of course, the jury is still out on that one.!

I'm trying to update iphone 4s to 5.1 but when plugged into Itunes it says network connection cannot be established and error downloading 5.1

I'm having trouble updating software for my iphone 4s from 5.0.1 to 5.1 but each time i plug into itunes to download it says network connection cannot be established and the phone just says an error has occured. What can i do?

If you don't have iOS 5, plug your iPhone into your computer, select it in iTunes, and in the Summary, click Check for Update.
If you do have iOS 5, it has onboard updates so you don't have to plug it in, just go to Settings, click General, click Software Update and you will be presented with iOS 5.1 which came out a few hours ago. Both my iPhone 3GS and iPad are already updated to iOS 5.1 now.

IPhone not recognized by iTunes after update

I recently downloaded & installed the latest update for iTunes and it actually removed iTunes and put and extra (& useless) shortcut for quicktime in my desktop. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes and quicktime with nor problem. I hooked up the iPhone and downlaoded the latest update for it as well and it crashed during the installation of it. I have since had to reboot on my roomates pc and it will not be come up in iTunes. My computer still recognizes it though. I have gone through all the steps in apples site and microsoft and have no clue what to do now. I use this thing all day every day and need the music and video capablities for "work" purposes. If anyone can help, thanks.

Symptoms:
iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however an iPod will.
The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else.
Problem:
The Apple iPhone Driver has been replaced by a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes.
SOLUTION:
From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

"Back to My Mac is turned on, your VPN connection cannot be established"?

Hi,
I searched for this recurring notice that I am getting " Because Back to My Mac is turned on, your VPN connection cannot be established", and came up with this thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8436720
However, I am not trying to establish a VPN when I get this message (and don't have one AFAIK).
Any idea what might be causing this message? I can't seem to figure out what triggers it, it just seems to pop up every hour or so. iChat is the only thing I have been using recently that seems to
Is there any way to discover what VPNs my laptop has set up? I don't have any additional software that is specific to VPNs, so it would have to be something already built into the OS. Does the Transmission application create a VPN? That is the only thing I can think of.
Any other ideas on what might be causing this message?
Your help is appreciated!
A.

If you have a VPN installed (by mistake?) you should be able to go to your System Prefs > Network and see the VPN listed in the left hand column along with Aiport and Ethernet. You can un-install by using the minus button at the bottom of the column.
The link provided shows you how to install a VPN client with screen shots, including one of this Network Prefs screen and what a VPN client looks like.

AnyConnect 3.1.01065 error - Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established.

I've got a user running:
AnyConnect 3.1.01065
on
Windows 7 64bit.
Several weeks ago she started encountering the following error:
-after logging into Windows and launching the AnyConnect client, she enters her username and password and successfully authenticates.
-the connection is not established and she's presented with the following message: "Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established."
After doing some troubleshooting, inlcuding uninstalling/reinstalling the anyconnect client, it seems the culprit is the following file:
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile\<filename>.xml. When the problem occurs (which is not regularly, sometimes it occurs daily, sometimes just once a week) examining that file indicates it has no security or permissions set. Quitting the AnyConnect software, modifying the file so that the user has full control of it, then relaunching AnyConnect fixes the problem (until it happens again). Uninstalling, and making sure to move C:\ProgramData\Cisco to the trash, then reinstalling did not seem to help.
The closest match in these forums is the following thread, https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3760446 - though no clear resolution was given.
Has anyone else encountered this, and been able to fix it?
Thanks much.

Just FYI, it seems at least in this case, purging all the previous system restore points seems to have resolved this issue...

HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1. My wife's iphone 5 had no issues. I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports. Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone. Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device". Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side. My wife's works both ways. I can't explain it, but there it is. I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

IPhone not recognized by iTunes any more

iTunes 9.0.2 on a 2006 iMac 2GHz intel duo running OSX 10.5.8
iPhone 3Gs 32 gig
iPod (5th gen)
3 external hard drives, all the iTunes library stored on a Mybook 1 TB Firewire drive plugged into iMac direct, not via a Firewire hub.
I plugged my iPhone into the Mac this am, tried to sync the iPhone and got an error message saying that something was wrong with my iTunes.
Mac then froze.
Finally got the Mac back up after five attempts (eventually, had to unplug everything, including the mains to the iMac, plug in just the power, keyboard and mouse, press and hold power switch for 5 secs then plug in each extra drive when the Mac came back up).
Found something seriously wrong with iTunes as it wouldn't open when clicked on (Force Quit reported app frozen).
Deleted iTunes using AppZap then downloaded iTunes from Apple website.
iTunes now back up on iMac but can't find any of the music files (even when I carefully repoint the iTunes to the correct location for the iTunes library by iTunes/Preferences/Advanced then Change iTunes Media Folder Location). Each entry in the iTunes library now has a black exclamation mark against it,
Also, iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in.
Also, when I plug in my iPod, get the error message "The iPod is synced with anotehr iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
HELP!
By the way, I have TIME MACHINE running to a separate and dedicated HD. Can I not just "roll back" my iMac in the same way I could do with a PC, say selecting the iMac when it was last working fine (yesterday evening)??
Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an answer....

Rather than create another "iPhone not recognized by iTunes" thread, I'll add to this one. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB.
After going through those steps you listed, my Windows XP installation always reverts back to the old Windows Apple iPhone drivers which only sees it as a camera. I've had it set to only pull from the iTunes drivers by specifying "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" in the Hardware Update Wizard. Windows still doesn't like the iTunes drivers stating "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". This location is the same as you noted: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" which contains:
usbaapl.cat
usbaapl.inf
usbaapl.sys
All dated 7/22/2008.
My current drivers for the iPhone in my setup are still the MS drivers, version 5.1.2600.0.
usbscan.sys
ptpusb.dll
ptpusd.dll
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

USB DVD Burner connected to Portege 3500 is not recognized properly

I am trying to connect an HP DVDv 940e DVD Burner to my Portege 3500.When I connect the device it is not recognized and the device manager list it as an unknown mass storage device without driver. Where can I get this driver?

the solution to the question is: find a computer which will accept the external burner, look what the driver for the mass storage device is called. in my case usbstor. search your computer for "usbstor". there should be at leat 3 different files (.sys .inf and another one),copy these onto your computer, and when you try to install the mass storage device in the device manager, direct the hardware assistant to these files. it should accept the driver it did with me. If there are more problems after that use the same method, find the working drivers on the other computer and copy all files of that name to your computer, showing the hardware assistant where to look.

Iphone not recognized in iTunes when computer is connected to the Internet

I hope someone can help me with this.
When you log onto the computer and connected to the internet, iTunes takes almost a full minute to open and when I plug my iPhone in, the computer dings like it sees it, but it never shows up in iTunes. HOWEVER, if I am NOT connected to the internet, iTunes opens in 4 seconds and the iphone is recognized in iTunes.
So basically iTunes and iPhone only really works if there is no internet connection.
Any one hear of anything like this before?
Thanks.

No, hadn't tried that. Did, but it didn't work... the loading bar made it a little bit further however it still froze. Not sure if this will help (or even what this means) but this is the error message it displays in the report to send to apple (however it won't even allow me to send it)

Iphone not recognized by Macbook

My i-phone4 is no longer recognized by my Macbook Pro from 2009. I have read other posts and tried but they do not work for various reasons.
1. I have tried restarting my computer. The phone vibrates but does not chime. The phone can then charge but is not listed in finder as a device.
2. I have gone through all the trouble shooting steps in support.
3. The "iphone" devices button in I-tunes disappears when I click on it.
4. The sync tab under file is grayed out.
5. I have gotten the error message that I-tunes cannot connect with my iphone while running the trouble shooter guide.
6. I am running Lion and everything is updated. I-tunes is also updated.
I would appreciate any advice and am wondering if I need a new cable. Thanks.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article is written for iPods, the troubleshooting steps are applicable to iPhones as well.

Iphone not recognizing i'm logged in with same acct.

I am trying to use my macbook to make calls. Macbook air is on Yosemite, iphone 5 is on 8.1. The problem is that when i go into settings-facetime, and try to turn on iphone cellular calls, I get the message "cannot turn on iphone cellular calls - Facetime and icloud must be signed in to the same apple ID to use iphone cellular calls." I have logged out of and back into both facetime and icloud, done a hard reset on the phone, and still cannot get iphone cellular calls to turn on. Why is my phone not recognizing that I'm signed into both areas with the same account? Thanks.

I did multiple times, I'm logged on my iPhone and iPod and sometimes when I get a text the notification disappears as if someone read the text and when I point it out when I tell my friend about it then it stops. One time I didn't say anything to see if it would keep happening and it did and when I called it out again the notifications were normal again all of a sudden.

HT4623 iPhone not recognized by computer or iTunes

I attempted to update my iPhone 5 to the newest version using iTunes on my computer, and my iPhone is now in recovery mode, and is not recognized by either my computer or iTunes. From the research that I have done, it appears to be a driver issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, attempting to manually search for the driver (which I located on my computer, but the computer would not recognize), and searching for the driver online ("access denied" response message appears), I am at a loss as to what to do. Can anyone help?

I retried the steps listed in HT1808; iTunes didn't open, and my computer replayed the "failed" connection tone. Is there a way to get around the "access denied" message that comes when I try to update the connection driver for the phone? When I attempt to find the driver online, I recieve that message, and when I attempt to search out the driver manually, I receive a message saying that the driver can't be found (while I have already located it through the regular file explorer.
