Upgrade to iTunes 8.1, iPhone is no longer recognized

Hi gang, I just upgraded to 8.1 iTunes, and now when I plug in my iphone, it doesn't do anything. It should show up in the sidebar ofcourse, but it should also launch iphoto since there's pictures on there that haven't been downloaded yet. Anyway, apparently the upgrade has effected the ability for my computer to "see" that the iphone is plugged in.
I tried shutting the Mac down and restarting. Also, tried resetting the iphone, as well as powering it down and back up. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

um that's not the case for me... I have used the wire that came with the phone as well as the wire that I purchased to charge the phone and the bluetooth headset and I'm still having problems. When I plugin my ipod classic however, it works fine. now the problem with both items is that when I plug them in, is that they show full battery life right away, and they stop charging. The weird thing is that on iTunes, it shows that it does NOT have a full charge. this happens both with the iPhone as well as the ipod. it's very annoying and I have to plug both of them to an electrical outlet so that the battery can charge. And forget about syncing my music, it says it's not recognized, or that is the memory is not available, so it doesn't sync. I've been so ****** at my iPhone lately, that all I want to do is throw it out the window...
And before you suggest what I think you will suggest, yes, I just did a full restore on the **** thing, and it's STILL showing up as fully charged when it's not....
I can't wait till my two years are up with ATT so that I can get rid of this phone.

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad.
    For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".
    I'm on w7x64, updated.
    I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
    Thanks!

    My iPhone device no longer recognized in iTunes.  What can I do?

    I just did a reset and that fixed it. You know how to do a reset? Hold the home and off buttons down at the same time unitl it goes off and then comes back on again. Then let them go. Try it. It worked for me.

  • Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi.  I believe All my settings are correct.  Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • Upon upgrade to itunes 9, my iphone 3.0.1 can no longer connect

    i now get the following error every time i try to connect to itunes 9:
    "itunes could not connect to this iphone because and unknown error occurred (0xE800005E)
    What the **** do i do now...i can't just revert to itunes 8 because my time machine has been down forever which is about to become another post...so what are my options? anyone else experience this?
    for the record i downloaded and installed both the itunes and the iphone 3.1 at the same time..upon reboot though itunes 9 opened so when i tried to connect the iphone to sync the 3.1 upgrade, and thats when i get the error...

    I had some trouble upgrading to 3.1 on my iPhone 3G. I downloaded and installed iTunes 9, then downloaded and upgraded to iPhone 3.1. Just as it was about to install on my phone, I received an error: "Your iPhone must be restored." Fine. I hit the "Restore and Upgrade" button and received yet another error. I then turned off my Kaspersky Anti-Virus/Firewall. That did the trick. Hope it's something as simple as that for you!

  • Back-up hanging after upgrading to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1 update

    Come on Apple get your act together on this stuff! Why are you not capable of testing this prior to releasing key updates. Upgrade to iTunes 9 worked. After two tries - and an overnight session for back up! - upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1 also worked. Now, I'm trying out your new cool features like re-arranging iPhone Apps in iTunes but can't get the back-up to work. It keeps stalling everytime. Come up with a fix or better fix it before release.

    Ok, here is the EXACT thing that I have on my iTunes that is working on my iPhone. (I haven't checked on the Shuffle yet) First screen--iPhone itself--nothing checked except Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected. Now Podcasts Tab on iPhone screen (right side of iTunes--center really--at least not the left side) Checked Sync Podcasts at Top. Also Checked Automatically include ALL episodes of SELECTED podcasts. Now here is where it seems weird. I have NONE of the podcasts themselves checked. Scroll Down further and there is a check box for Includes Episodes from Playlists. I have both of my Smart Playlists checked and they are both working correctly.
    One more thing, I have in my Smart Playlist a rule saying Play Count is 0. That way after I have completely listened to the entire podcast it will be deleted from that playlist. If I am halfway through the podcast--that is saved and it starts playing at that point.

  • Iphone 5S no longer recognized in ITunes and so cannot sync

    Iphone 5S is no longer recognized in ITunes so it cannot sync.  I am not seeing the driver listed and therefore the recommendation to repair the driver does not work for me.  Have rebooted, deleted Itunes and reuploaded many many times.  I have read and tried all the "Apple" fixes listed.  I use Kasperasky Anti-Virus and wondered if that could be blocking the driver needed.  I have added the Apple programs to Kaspersky's exclusion list but that did not work.  Seems ridiculous to spend any more money to download songs in ITunes if I can never sync my Iphone 5S to get them on my phone.  Apple techs, please help - just recommending the standard fixes I keep reading has not helped at all.  Anyone else have a different suggestion?  Thanking you in advance as I've spent so many hours on trying to find a fix.

    Thank you for your suggestions but I still have the problem.  The Iphone 5S is not recognized and I have deleted Kaspersky off my computer (and still have not put it back on yet).  I still do not see the Apple Mobile Service USB Driver listed.  I had done this process previously (several times) but went through it all again in your order just in case I missed something.  I am wondering if there is a way to go back to the previous version of ITunes in case it was the ITunes update causing me the problems.  I do not think I can blame it on Kaspersky since it is not on my computer now and I have the same problem.
    I also notice that the Iphone is not listed in my devices in Windows 7 - not sure if it was before or is suppose to be for sure - but just noting it is not. I tried the option to add devices but Windows does not find the Iphone 5S.  Just thought I would add that information in case that should lead to a solution.  Again thanks for your time - would appreciate any other suggestions.  I don't think you can use Apple Support without paying money so would like to find help from someone else having the problems.  I think it is odd so many people are having problems with their phone being recognized or sometimes just it syncing - and various steps have helped others (like uninstalling and re-installing).  Thanks for any help.
