  • IOS : Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    During the update from my ipad from ios7.02 ==> 7.03 update stopped .
    I recoverd the ipad via an another PC
    after update itunes didn't reconize ipad; iphone and ipod
    i followed several times the procedure : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US
    result is still the same
    the aonly thing that i didn't succeeded is the remove of following map after deinstallation the Apple Programs ( in the right order)
    In most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. In some rare cases, files may be left behind. After following the previous steps, you should confirm that the following files and folders have been removed. If any are left behind, remove them now:
    C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files\iPod\ 
    can someone give me a definitive and proper solution?
    thanks

  • IOS5 Update causes Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I did an iPad1 IOS5 update and on the reboot could not get iTunes to recognize my iPad.
    I did all the recommended troubleshooting to no avail. So I called this morning and while on hold I put my password back on my device just as before and BAM iTunes now recognizes device and is doing my restore.
    So if you do a backup of your device before the update and you have it password protected, it won't recognize the device until you go through and setup a new device and put your password back to what is was before, then BAM you're good! Good Luck and hopefully you won't have to spend the day I did figuring this out.

    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • 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 - 
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IOS: Device not recognized in iTunes via wifi

    After updating my iphone 5 to ios 7.1, my device is not recognized in itunes for mac... obviously I have updated itunes too but the device still is not seen by itunes. I've tried to reboot both iphone and mac.. but still does not work... any tips?

    Have you tried to give your iPod  a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    Have you tried different USB ports? Rebooted your computer?
    Uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes? (You won't lose content if you uninstall)

  • IOS device not recognized in iTunes, Windows  7 Computer, or Device Manager

    Sometime last week, I ran the updates for my computer. When I plugged in my iPod Touch afterwards, it would not connect to iTunes, although on the iPod itself, I could see it was connected based on the "charging" symbol on the battery icon. So I checked if my computer recognized it as a "Device with removable memory in the computer. Only "DVD RW Drive (E)" showed up and under the "Other" section only showed my iCloud Photos folder. I also checked the device manager for any drive with the name Apple- none. I have only 2 USB ports on my computer, and I've switched between them over and over. No result. I have checked the hardware id's on all my USB drives in the device manager, and I only find the HP TrueVision camera on my laptop.
    After a couple of hours browsing through the support forums, I was able to restore the driver, thus allowing my iPod to be recognized again by the computer and iTunes.
    on 10/14/13 I ran the installation for updates again, and the same problem occured with my iPod. So I went through the same steps from last week, but this time, no changes. I still cant get the drive back on my device manager. I've gone through all the support pages pertaining to anything and everything about this issue, and still, everything I tried from and simple computer restore to a clean boot has still rendered no results. I know my USB cable works because im able to charge my iPod from any outlet (computer, A/C adapter, car adapter) and sadly I do not have the means to try on another computer.
    I have a HP 64-bit Computer running Windows 7 service pack 1.
    iTunes version 11.1 currently installed.
    iPod Touch 4th Generation iOS version 6.1.3.
    The Apple Mobile Device Support is installed.
    Can someone heplp me?

  • IOS devices not recognized in iTunes via USB

    I am on a Windows 7 x64 home-built computer and I am pretty technically inclined, but this one problem has been bugging me for quite a while now.
    I am pleased that Apple wants its devices to sync wirelessly with iTunes from now on, but there are times when it is necessary to plug in the device via USB, such as when transferring large files.
    However, in the last few weeks/months, I have noticed that iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 4 nor my iPad 2 when they are plugged in via USB.  The computer recognizes the devices, drivers are installed properly, and I can see the devices in Windows Explorer, getting photos off of them that way.  However, iTunes does not show the devices with that "plugged in" icon next to them, only the usual sync/eject icon.
    This is also a problem because sometimes iTunes just won't "see" the devices, but sometimes it will.  Regardless, I need to be able to tether them sometimes for transferring relatively large files via USB.  Wi-Fi just isn't fast enough.  I suppose I may have to disable Wireless syncing altogether, but I fear that may not fix the problem, because it was syncing via USB just fine in the early weeks of iOS 5 and with wireless syncing enabled.  I do have the latest iTunes, I do have the latest firmware for both devices, and I have rebooted both my computer and the devices several times lately, all without effect.
    I've done all the simple solutions and none of them have worked.  Can anyone explain what's going on and, more importantly, what I can do about it?

    Yeah, I've tried 5 out of the 7 steps shown in their troubleshooter.  The sixth step is one that is a major pain and I doubt would fix the problem: Reinstall iTunes.  I know enough about PCs to feel about 80% confident that this step would not fix the issue.  Plus, it's a major hassle with re-adding music to the collection.  Nevertheless, I will look at it as a last ditch effort.
    The seventh step is extremely vague and doesn't really help.  "There might be a software conflict."  Fine, but there's no way to find any such conflict, if one even exists in the first place, without a heavy dose of trial-and-error, several hours of time, dozens of reboots, and the patience of Job.
    However, they do list some other steps that I'll try when I get home, such as making sure certain services are installed and running.  I'll post my results here.  Thanks, wiclee.

  • My iphone is not recognized in itunes for windows

    I have followed the directions from apple support.  Uninstalled & reinstalled itunes, everything the page said to do & my phone isn't recognized in iTunes and it comes up as unkown device in windows.  Any suggestions?

    If you went through items 1-6 at the bottom of the article and they didn't help then try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components by following this article exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 (removing all components in the order specified).  (I know you mentioned that you uninstalled iTunes but I wasn't sure if you followed this article or not.  If not, try it again following this article.)

  • TS1538 My iPhone 5s is not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Last night I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and since that time I have been unable to sync my phone with my HP computer.  I have tried all suggestions in the help section and it still will not sync.  What should I do next?

    I had the same problem ,  Just remove itunes and related components from the control panel. it worked for me.
    I got that information from apple support.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

  • IPhone 4 not recognized in iTunes for Windows 8.1

    I am using Windows 8.1 and the computer recognizes the device but not iTunes. I have tried deleting and re-installing iTunes as well as the device manager, but neither solution has fixed my problem. Any help is appreciated!

    To Helpware, THANK YOU for keeping me from throwing out my Iphone and buying something else!
    I can confirm that this also works on the Iphone 3GS with Windows 8.1.
    Note: just uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes did NOT work for me. As this answer says, you need to unistall the Apple Device Driver too.
    Thank you again!
