    At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think.  I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point.  Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before  I take it back the better I think.

  • Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

    Hi all,
    This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
    Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
    P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

  • Iphone is not being recognised on itunes to sync?

    Hi, I have connected my iphone to my computer but it is not being recognised on itunes?can u help?

    I just replaced my 3GS with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and the new phone will not sync with iTunes. It pops up with the following error message whenever I hook it up:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I just got this phone from AT&T, and there are no updates available for either my computer or my phone, so they have to have the newest iTunes.
    Also, whenever I plug it in, the new phone does not appear under the "devices" tab on the left like my old one does.
    Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

  • TS1538 My iphone is not being recognized by iTunes.

    The computer is "seeing" the phone, but nothing is coming up in iTunes.  I have a 2nd iphone that is being recognized.  I have another computer, rebooted, reinstalled, and tried holding the home button as I plugged in the usb cable.  I went to do a restore and ever since the phone says to connect to itunes and then is not seen by itunes.  Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Follow up...took it to the Apple store and they were able to get it to connect to iTunes...go figure!

  • IPhone 5 not being recognized by iTunes but rather iTunes crashing

    Hi,
    This is a bit long winded leading up to the current issue I'm having.  To start of with, I'm using:-
    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1, 16G
    MBP (mid-2010) 2.66GHz, i7, 4GB 1067Mhz DDR3
    OS 10.9.3
    iTunes 11.2.1
    The battery on my iPhone 5 (1 yr old) was being drained too quickly - a 40min review of news articles on the train would drain my battery from 100% to 80%.  This was the case after switching off the 'Background Refresh App' function and closing all apps in the background. So I took it to Apple who ran a quick diagnostic that came up with no issues with the battery.  However, when running an extended diagnostic, the phone was unable to complete this. So they decided to replace the phone.
    Here is where it gets a bit hairy.....
    I'm in the UK and the genius asked me to erase all my data.  I did and then she realised she had to order a phone from the US since that's where I bought mine from - 'like' for 'like' apparently.  Up till this point, the issue was solely with my battery.  The phone was syncing fine with iTunes both through wifi and lightening USB cable (Apple original).  I took the phone home to restore it from a backup but it wasn't being recognised by iTunes.  In fact, every time I plugged it in iTunes would stop responding necessitating a 'force quit'.
    Two days later, I received my new phone.  I fired up iTunes (working fine) then plugged in the phone to set it up from a backup (FYI, I don't back up to the iCloud since I'm not keen on their T&C's).  Again iTunes stopped responding.  If I force quit iTunes and started it again without the phone plugged in, iTunes works fine.  If the phone is connected, iTunes won't fire up (or would become unresponsive if already working).
    I uninstalled iTunes including deleting the following files:-
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    restarted the MBP then reinstalled iTunes.  Unfortunately, the problem remains.  I've connected another iPhone 5 and again the application is rendered unresponsive. There is no doubt that the problem arises when iTunes tries to comunicate with an iPhone.
    Any suggestions on what the problem might be and how to rectify it please? Thanks.

  • IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

    I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here.  I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
    I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.  I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
    I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

    The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
    I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
    I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
    All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
    So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
    Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
    I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
    Thanks for the help.
    I'll post my findings/results.

  • IPhone is not being recognised by iTunes and won't sync

    A few days my iPhone randomly froze so I had to do a hard reset. Then when I plugged it into my laptop and tried to sync it, it said The required file could not be found. I pressed ok and then another box came up with something along the lines of iPhone could not be synced, error -6999.
    So I unplugged and plugged back in and a message came up saying "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iPhone to its factory settings". So i did this, restored everything to factory and then tried to re-sync with my computer. Then exactly the same error came up as before (file cannot be found, iPhone doesnt sync). And the circle goes on and on and on.
    I've tried restarting, re-installing itunes. I think iTunes is working though because I can still sync my nano with no trouble. Any ideas? Because this is really annoying.
    Cheers, Skiddz

    I'm having the same problem... just got a new iPhone 3GS in addition to the older 3G model. I need to synch them both with home (music, photos, videos etc. master) and work computers (Contacts, Calendar master).
    This worked no problem on the older 3G model, the 3GS synched with my home computer but my work once I get the following message: "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iPhone to its factory settings".
    I've tried re-starting both iPhone and computer, un-installing and re-installing iTunes / QuickTime / Apple Mobile Device Manager etc.; different USB ports etc. and still the problem exists...
    Please help.

  • HT4623 my iphone is not being recognized by itunes on my new macbook

    my iphone 5s was previously synced with my pc but i have purchased a new macbook and would like to know how to get it to sync with the itunes on this computer

    Hi Gyas,
    Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I understand that you were previously syncing your iPhone 5S with a Windows computer and now you would like to sync it with your new Macbook but the iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. Typically Installing software updated on your Mac resolves issues like this, but there is a great article with further troubleshooting steps to take if needed.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Cheers,
    -Joe

  • Nano not being seen in Itunes

    Hi there,
    Hoping someone can help me with this before I finally give in and send this nano in.
    I have a 4gig nano which I am connecting to windows. I have the latest itunes and the latest update to my nano.
    Here's what's happening:
    - When the nano connects to the computer, itunes launches, but the ipod doesn't show up in itunes.
    - the nano shows under windows explorer
    - the nano can be updated by the update software
    I've tried the following:
    - Reinstalling itunes
    - Reinstalling the ipod service
    - Resetting the ipod
    - Reformating the nano via windows explorer
    And here's the kicker...
    I am able to connect another ipod nano with exactly the same software and specs (its just white instead of black) to the PC and have it work fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    My nano was doing this as well. I would connect it, itunes would launch, but the ipod was not showing up in the source list.
    I resolved the issue by closing itunes the first time when it auto launched, resetting the ipod while connected to the computer, and letting itunes relaunch. usually the ipod was seen once itunes relaunched. If not I would shut itunes, reset the ipod again, and ipod would show under source list once it came back up.
