Why my iphone doesnt connect to itunes store, why my iphone doesnt connect to itunes store

my iphone doesnt connect to the itunes store anymore - when i am trying to download apps / update apps as soon i enter my password the error message shows. i really do need help the apple customer care doesnt have any advices phonewise :-(

since you cant uninstall the store and reinstall it I would first suggest resetting your phone by holding the home button and sleep wake button for 15 seconds until you see the apple logo appear if that doesnt work I would suggest restoring your phone from backup if that doesnt work I would restore your phone as new and finally if that doesnt work I would take it to a apple store..

My iphone doesnt show up in my itunes. It shows up when i plug it into another laptop. Similarly, when i use someone else's iphone, that shows up in my itunes. Obviously my itunes wont recognise my iphone. Please help

2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed

ITouch not connecting to windows or itunes, and will not charge.

Okay, so, I was charging my iTouch one day in my computer, and every time I plug it in, iTunes launches and then starts to automatically sync my iTouch, which I DO NOT WANT. Anyways, I quit the sync from itunes as I always do, but this time, when I tried to quit, nothing happened and itunes froze up. 1 Ctrl+Alt+Dlt later, I tried to end the program, it was being pesky so I had to try and end it a few times. My iTouch finished charging and I hane not thought anything of it since then. The day after that, I was trying to charge my iTouch before work, and I went to get ready while it was charging. I came back to an iTouch that was not charged at all. It does not connect to Windows or iTunes, but still for some reason retains enough battery to display the battery symbol. I have used the iTunes helper to try and guide me through the problem, but the steps I took did not fix the problem and I do not feel like taking my iTouch in to get serviced. So, in overview, my iTouch will not charge, connect to windows or iTunes, all after I ended iTunes from the task manager. My iTunes works just fine, my iTouch is the problem. I dont know what operating system it is running on, and I dont know how to update it, but it is at least 4.3.1.
P.S. I would love to get some speedy help on this. If its any reward, you have many internets up for grabs for answering my question. Over 9000 ^_^

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPOd in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes

Dear All
in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
ciao

Hello franbat,

Ipod is not connect to windows or itunes but it still shows up on ipod

i had to re set my ipod the other day and ever since then it will NOT connect to windows of itunes but every time it shows up on the ipod that it is connected!

Welcome to the discussions,
try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC. So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC. Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there. If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.

Launching PhotoShop every-time iPhone is connected to Windows

Every-time I connect an iPhone to a Windows XP Professional machine Photoshop is launched (as well as iTunes). How can I stop Photoshop, or any image application, being launched when the iPhone is connected?
I've tried turning off automatically sync when iPhone is connected in iTunes, but all this does is stop iTunes from automatically launching - Photoshop continues to launch.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

When an iPhone contains photos captured by the iPhone, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
Or does PhotoShop also launch automatically when your iPhone doesn't contain any photos captured by the iPhone?
If not, one answer is importing these photos to your computer as you would with photos captured by any digital camera and then remove/delete the photos from the camera or in this case, the iPhone's camera storage. Any of these photos you want available on your iPhone, add these photos to other photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
Apple computers include such a setting with the Image Capture application included with OS X which can be used to import photos from a digital camera without needing to install the camera's software or using Apple's iPhoto application or a 3rd party application such as PhotoShop. Apple's iPhoto application also includes the same setting as does iTunes.
If PhotoShop does not include such a setting, it should be included with Windows somewhere.

HT1296 My new iphone doesnt connect to my Itunes on my imac. :(

My new iphone 4s doesnt connect to my itunes When I plug it in My old phone did automatically but nothing when I plug the new one in. Please help.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IPhone 5 Unrecognized by Windows 8 iTunes

Hello.
I have the problem listed in the title of this thread. I plug my iPhone 5 into my Windows 8 PC, Windows opens a File Explorer window (need to disable that action, it's annoying), but iTunes doesn't do anything. The button for the iPhone does not even appear. This problem occurred before I accidentally told Windows to perform an action when I plugged in the device.
The troubleshooting I have performed already includes uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, as well as stopping and starting AMDS (after the re-install). I would really prefer not having to return my iPhone to factory settings, as I believe the most recent backup was from over a month ago. Is there anything else I can do? The problem was not present until after iTunes has updated once or twice recently. Prior to that I had no problems of this nature.
Thanks,
David

Hi Exstasis,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You have indeed already performed some great troubleshooting for this issue. I would recommend reading over the following article and working your way through the steps provided within. Some of these steps you have already completed, but I would still suggest working your way through them from step 1 to 6 to ensure proper isolation has been done.
