Unable to sync-device not seen on ITunes
All of a sudden, my ITunes Library on pc (windows 8.1) cannot recognize my Ipod Touch to be able to sync and yet, my old IPod Classic can be recognized and sync with no problem. Any idea why and what is the difference?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Device not seen in itunes after data transfer
I bought an original MacBookPro from my daughter & transferred all my data from PB G4 to MBP.
Everything works just fine, except itunes does not see my ipod touch. I cannot figure out how to get it "recognized" as a device?
Any suggestions?Hello.
Try the following suggestions below
1. Perform all Software Updates - Click on Apple logo in top left corner of the OS and choose Software Updates. It will scan the mac and then populate a list of software that needs updating including iTunes if there is any at all.
2. Connect iPod Touch to another USB Port in the Macbook Pro, If it still does not show up, Disconnect the touch. Reboot the Mac, then reconnect the touch.

i am trying to sync iphone 5 to itunes but it says "iTunes could not connect to the iphone as an error occured while reading from the device " and the iphone is not seen on itunes........
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem. -
My Iphone is not seen on itunes when I plug it. I've tried everything that I found on the internet. but it still doesn't work, so I can't sync my iphone. What can I do? I have checked all the USB ports, I have desinstalled and installed again itunes, and I have run out of ideas.
When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer? -
Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
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.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

Reset my old iPad, now not seen in iTunes devices
I'm giving my old original iPad to my Dad. Just wiped it using the iPad (settings/general/reset). I used the iPad to set up as a new device. Plugged it into my computer expecting to see it pop up on the iTunes devices section, but it hasn't appeared. However, the old back up for it, which was called OLD IPAD, has disappeared from iTunes devices.
I want to pick and chose via iTunes the stuff I want to put on for my Dad, how can I get iTunes to see it?Look at this link.

Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?
Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can. -

IPhone not seen in iTunes after Windows XP reinstall
Hi
Can anybody please help me with this, I've tried googling the problem and checking the Apple support info but no luck.
When I plugged my iphone 3GS in, iTunes doesn't see it. (Windows recognises the device.)
This worked up until I reinstalled Windows XP (service pack 3) onto a new hard drive, and have installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25).
I had copied all my data from my old XP installation onto the new hard drive, including my iTunes directory (iphone sync data - apps, music) , so I just pointed iTunes at the directory and it happily loaded all my apps. Note: Version of iTunes was from 2011 - not sure if it was same, I think it was 10-something.
Note: iphone is NOT jailbroken
Steps I have already taken:
- run through all the steps at support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
- checked that my cable is ok (iphone charges and is recognised by Windows)
- authorised my "new" computer.
- tested my iphone - I went into a mac store and they plugged it in and it was picked up by itunes on their computer
- disabled my virus protection while testing (AVG)
- uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and rebooted my computer
- confirmed Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) is installed, and restarted it
Has anybody else seen something like this when reinstalling Windows?DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps. -
Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

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)
