                                                        Thanks     Speedy0895

Try another USB port and make sure the laptop is plugged into power.
Also, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    why cant i backup my iphone with itunes or icloud it keep giving me error * iphone cant be backup because sesion cant be start* -_-

    Delete your most recent backup in iTunes (iTunes Preferences>Devices, click on the backup, click Delete Backup), if using a PC click Reset Sync History (also in Devices), then close iTunes, restart your device, connect your device again, open iTunes and try syncing again.

  • Why doesnt itunes recognize my iphone device

    My Iphone is not recognized by my Computer that uses windows 7 and latest version of Itunes. I deleted Itunes programs in Itunes in order. Reinstalled Itunes. My computer recognizes the device and lets me pull pictures off. But Itunes is still not showing my device. I shut down and rebooted my iphone. I even went through the process of restoring my iphone through Icloud. When I go to device manager and try and update the driver it has the most current driver software. I tried everything I could think of and from what I read in the support menu of apple.com. Does anyone have a solution?

    Try this support document for that http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Also, if you try to uninstall and then reinstall iTunes, you must follow this document completely http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • Why cant i restore my iphone and why does it keep turning off and on by itself

    hello all
    i just would like to know why my phone keeps turning off and on by itself
    and why i cant i restore it on itunes
    many thanks
    al

    What worked for me, is going to the camera app, switch to video, turn on flash, and record.  Let the phone record for about 10 minutes.  (your phone will probably keep reseting itself) but that is okay, let it reset, and go back the the camera app and repeat.  what you are supposed to do is let the phone sit there and wait for the back to feel sort of hot. stop recording at about 8 minutes and plug your phone into itunes, it should be charging, and once you do so you can then set your phone into DFU mode.  This might not help you, or it will.  I just fixed my iphone today, that had the same problem as you.  so keep trying and it will come back to normal again!  Cheers!

  • Why cant i activate my iPhone on IOS 7?

    I downloaded IOS 7 using itunes on my computer. The first thing that happened was, iTunes shut down after the IOS 7 install, which made me lose all my contact info, i wasn't too mad about that, so i reset to factory settings. After that was finished, i starting configuring my iPhone, and when it says it is activating my iphone, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached, try connecting your iPhone to iTunes, or try again in a few minutes" , i have done both of these things multiple times and nothing has worked... please tell me why this update ruined my phone...

    same problem.

  • Why cant i activate my iphone 3gs after restore ?

    please people tell me why my iphone 3gs will not activate after i restored it? its like this the last 3 days iv tried lots of thing but no joy ? help really appreciated please ?

    Is your iPhone jailbroken? Activation errors often come up with a jailbroken iPhone, and if yours is, there's nothing we can do to help in these forums.
    If you're certain that your iPhone is not jailbroken, Apple has some suggestions here that may help:

  • HT4972 Why cant I update my iphone 3G from iOS 4.2 to newer version

    Can't load any apps to my phone, not even ones I've had on before. tried restoring to factory settings etc.

    If you have the apps you downloaded before in your computer, you could sync your iPhone 3G and get the working apps back in your iPhone.  Since the 3G's hardware does not support the latest iOS and many app developers have updated their apps to use the new features of newer iPhones and newer iOS, those updated apps will not work on the 3G, but the older versions will and you can still sync them to your phone if you have those olders versions in your computer.
