When connecting my iPhone 4S to my laptop via a cable, my phone is charging but my itunes is saying nothing has been connected and therefore i cannot sync anything onto my phone
I have an iPhone 4S and recently when i have been trying to sync my phone and laptop it is not working. I connect my phone and laptop via USB cable and then my phone begins to charge. It asks is i trust this laptop and i agree to trust it. Then i go on to my itunes hopeing to sync my music to my phone, but it says there is nothing connected. Usually a tab would come up saying 'Hayleys's iPhone' but now there is nothing there and i am not sure why. Please help!
Hello Hayley77,
It sounds like you are not seeing your iPhone in iTunes when you have it connected to your computer, but your phone recognizes the computer because you get the prompt to trust the computer. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?
There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

A student's iPad is managed by Meraki and the student acccidently disabled it. Now when I connect to itunes on my Mac, it says that the iPad has a passcode. But, you can not enter or do anything on the iPad since it is disabled. I also tried in Meraki to erase the device or clear the passcode, but it only goes into a Pending queue. Any help?
How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Itunes recognises iphone but iphone says it still needs to be connected and therefore can't sync
Got a new iphone 4S which I want to sync using my previous iphones last backup. My itunes recognises the phone and calls it my iphone2 but the iphone is still saying connect to itunes. I am unable to sync. I have tried restoring the new iphone, using 3 different backups but nothing is working. I have tried rebooting the computer and the iphone
Thanks Jason. Tried unauthorising computers then logged out of itunes turned iphone off but nothing is still working. The computer sees the phone it is the phone that is not seeing the computer

So I bought the song 'Gold' by Britt Nicole the other day because I heard it on the radio and liked it.
It downloaded normally except I accidentally clicked the little 'stop' button that displays while it is still downloading to my Iphone. It would not play, and it was greyed out so I couldn't even select it. No biggie, I thought, I'll just delete the song and download it again.
Wrong, I couldn't delete it, and I couldn't plaly the song either. So I deleted my entire music library from my storage thinking it would solve the issue. It didn't. Every song was deleted from my phone EXCEPT 'Gold.' It was still saying it was already on my phone, already downloaded. But it isn't there.
I can only play the song when I am on wifi in my house. Other than that it says I have the song downloaded already but I don't really have it. It's annoying and I've googled for an answer but can't find one. Please help! I don't really want to have to reset my phone just to solve the issue.Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download the song on your syncing computer and sync via iTunes.
Then delete/redownload as necessary. -

Sometimes when a person updates to IOS 7 their phone service becomes suspended all together, and the Verizon store won't be aware of that most of the time and they recommend getting a new SIM card when that's not the problem. So try the steps I laid out for you below before you take it any farther.
With any other phone, call the Verizon customer service line. Then it will ask you to type a phone number in that needs service, this is when you type in the number of the unserviced phone
After that it will tell you if your phone service is suspended and it gives you an option to un-suspend it as long as you have your account password.
Hope this helps. -

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -

But thank you for responding.

My iPhone 4s has been on and off telling me SIM failure" when I text someone. It has also ended my calls when I try to make them. The other thing it is doing is saying "No Service" at the top left corner where it is supposed to say Verizon. I can't figure out how to fix it. please help!
See the iPhone Call and Connection Assistant for troubleshooting steps.

I can log on to the Apple website to manage my account and all the information is correct, but I get “Your Apple ID has been disabled” when I try to get something from App Store on my iPhone.
You need to contact Apple Support, particularly iTunes Store support team. Cheers!
