TS1368 iPhone can't connect to iTunes even though laptop recognizes iPhone is connected

All of a sudden, my iPhone 5 and iPad mini won't sync with iTunes. My windows 8 laptop recognizes they are connected when i go into My Computer but no syncing happens and no devices are shown in iTunes. Any help please?

Id follow this guys idea, check for updates in itunes. In order to use the iphone 4 now that it comes with ios 4.3 you have to have itunes 10.2. As for the person who resolved it by removing the battery, i think you posted in the wrong forum becasue that answer is completely useless for an iphone(cant remove the battery without taking phone apart, defiantely not a 20 second solution).

    My phone will no connection to iTunes even though I put in my password I need help

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

    Hi letjimdoit,
    If you are unable to get to the screen that allows you to enter your password on your Apple TV, you may want to first try restarting the Apple TV. Use the steps in this aricle -

  • TS1398 My new iphone 5c wont use my wifi even though it shows I am connected

    My new iphone 5c will not use my home wifi even though it shows I am connected in my settings. I was able to use my home wifi from my old phone with older software. How do I use my wifi from home. The home screen does not indicate I am connected to wifi. Thanks

    Restart your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
    Use Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone 5c.
    Attempt to connect.
    If you are still having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.

  • Why does my iPod tell me to connect to iTunes, even though I already did?

    I just updated my iPod. It asked me to choose how I want to set up my iPod touch. I chose "Restore from iTunes Backup". Then it told me to connect to iTunes. So I connected it and it synced. But the iPod won't do anything. It still says connect to iTunes. How do I fix it and start using my iPod again?

    Maybe here:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

  • 4th Gen won't connect to internet even though it says it's connected

    Hello Apple Community!
    I have been using my (4th Gen) Time Capsule to back up my devices and for my household WiFi for about 2 years now. The other day, after a storm, my connectivity was down. I thought it was my ISP, but after bypassing the TC and plugging the Ethernet Cable that would normally connect to the TC directly into my laptop, I was finally able to get back onto the web. (In fact, I am typing this question while hard-wired directly to my ISP modem... but I digress).
    Here's the problem (and screenshot's provide a thousand words) -
    The Time Capsule SAYS it is connected, but every single device that is connected to it {iPhones, MacBook, Xbox, etc.} will not connect to the internet.  Each device is giving an error saying "Cannot connect to internet" or "Unable to connect to internet".
    Remedies I have tried already:
    Contacted ISP and verified that the internet was still working
    Reset ALL devices including - modem and TC (like... 100 times)
    Checked update for TC (and I am current with update 7.6.4)
    Switched from DHCP to Static IP
    Programmed DNS server to recommended addresses (99.196.99.99 and 99.197.99.99) and released them back to automatic
    Turned OFF security password for WiFi and set network to OPEN
    Factory Reset TC
    Rebooted both TC and modem through both Apple recommended and ISP recommended power cycle instructions
    Read through all current, passed and relevant 4th Gen Time Capsule connectivity issues throughout thread
    I am about to see how the TC floats in the pond out back soon... (not kidding).
    I have tried everything and it wont work!  The only way I am typing this to the community is directly connecting to the ISP modem.  Any suggestions, please help!
    {P.S. - I took the screenshot of the router by pugging the cord back into the AirPort TC so you could see what I see, but again, to no avail.. I couldn't connect to the internet via the WiFi)

    Electrical storm could have blown the WAN port of the TC, without the TC diagnostics showing it up.. hence the green led.
    If you have not already done so, try powering down the TC for several hours. You need it cold, so overnight is a good idea.
    Power up the TC and quickly test it.. you have around 10min before issues start if it has heat issues.
    No luck quickly change the TC to bridge mode.. ie on the Network tab.. make sure it is off (bridge mode).
    Plug the modem to another port of the TC.. LAN 1 2 or 3.. does the light come on?? From a computer, test if you have internet access. In this mode only one computer should have internet. Tell me how that test goes.
    Do you have a computer running any OS prior to Mavericks? Even windows would do so you can load 5.6 airport utility.
    In 5.6 utility you can set wan port speed to 10mbit half duplex.. I want you to do that.
    And then test it again in router mode.
    What modem are you using??

  • Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Try restarting the iPhone.
    If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the date and time a few months out  (Settings > General > Date & Time), test it again, and then set it back to the correct time.

  • HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

    Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
