Why does iTunes not recognize my phone and looks at it as a new phone everytime I connect?

It started after the iOS 5.0 upgrade. Continues after iOS 5.0.1. (I have been syncing the same iPhone, my iPad 2, my iPod touch, and an older iPod Nano, for months.) I connect (via USB or wireless) and iTunes says "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device", then gives me the option to either set it up as a new phone or restore from the backup of what is actually the same phone. I can initiate a sync from within settings on the phone and it will sync, but the iTunes screen continues to say the same thing... although it updates when the last backup of the phone was done. So I never get to the usual Summary and other detail 'tabs' in iTunes where I can make changes to the phone, select a movbie I want on it, rearrange apps, etc.
Appreciate any ideas!

I had a similar experience, Stevenfromchesapeake (see post under name Mojarashe posted on Sat. nov. 18). My situation is less complicated because I only own 1 apple device (iPhone 3gs).
After 4 days without access to essential tasks and information, I decided to hit the option to set up as a new phone. To my surprise, one of the options on the next screen, was to name my device the same name it previously had. The menu bar with Summary, Info, Music, Apps, Books, Movies, TV Shows, etc. detail tabs in iTunes reappeared.
You'll note if you read my original post, I went through several steps before giving up and selecting the set up as a new phone option. Those steps included removing all 6 iTunes related components, restarting my computer, and then reinstalling iTunes from the Apple site. Once this was completed, I connected my iPhone and said a prayer when I selected "set up as a new phone".
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Why does itunes store not pop up and not tell me why?

Why does itunes store not pop up and then not tell me why? i"m wondering if it could have anything 2do with me just transefering music with my flash drive?

Does it show in the Purchased section for downloading ? Click on the Purchased under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
If not then have you tried logging out and back into the account ? If that doesn't work either then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Why my MDM Server can only communicate with ipads and iphones with logging Junos sslvpn.

Why my MDM Server can only communicate with ipads and iphones when either of the iPhone or iPad Junos sslvpn? Any ideas
Our iPad and iPhones users have to log in to Junos SSLVPN to be able to communicate with our MDM Server (via wi-fi). Any ideas where users don't have to log in to Junos SSLVPN?

This bothers me so much. It is absolutely ridiculous. I use my Apple ID as well as a family member's Apple ID to download music.
Every once in a while I will purchase a song and it won't download correctly or will give me an error that my computer is not authorized, a solution I usually fix by deleting and redownloading the song from the cloud. This doesn't work, however, when it happens to both accounts within 90 days.
It is incredibly frustrating to me that I have paid for a song, it downloaded incorrectly, and I must wait 90 days to try downloading it again because of these assinine policies.

What operating system do you have on your computer?

When updating to ios 7, my airport does not function in my ipad and iphone. No icon appears...I´ve check I´ve got last firmware on aiport utility, and also I´ve restart both devices... thanks for your support..

HI!, When updating to ios 7, my airport does not function in my ipad and iphone. No icon appears ...I´ve check I´ve got last firmware on aiport utility, and also I´ve restart both devices... buth still not working

Restart your AirPort Base Station or other router if that's what you have. Unplug it and allow a moment or two for it to reset before plugging it back in again.
If that does not work, try resetting your network settings: on the iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, select your network then "Forget this Network". Select the network again, provide its password, and verify you can connect.
If that does not work, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Select your network again as above.
If that does not work, "hard reset" your AirPort Base Station, assuming you are using one and not some third party product. You will need to reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

Why won't the iTunes app on the iPad and iPhone let me shut off new download email notifications?

I have a few new season passes. Each one came, of course, with email notifications of new episodes. I'm able to turn those notifications off through the iTunes store interface on my laptop. But when I try to shut them off on my iPhone or iPad, the app lets me get all the way to toggling the notification option to "off" and pressing "done" before saying that the iTunes store "cannot process [my] request at this time."
Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue so far:
1. Logged out of, and back into, my account on the iTunes store;
2. Turned my iOS devices off and back on again;
3. Made sure my iOS and iTunes software was completely up to date; and
4. Contacted Apple customer support.
That last option produced the following advice from Apple's representatives:
A. Log out of, and back into, your account on the iTunes store;
B. Turn your iOS devices off and back on again;
C. Update iTunes to the latest version;
D. Update your iPad and iPhone to the latest iOS version;
E. Use another app that does the same thing as iTunes;
F. Uninstall and re-install the iTunes app; and
G. Let us know if the problem persists.
When I let Apple know that (1) my account functions just fine on the full iTunes program, (2) the software on my devices is completely up to date, (3) both iOS devices continued to suffer the same problem after multiple restarts, and (4) options E-F don't appear to be possible without jailbreaking, a representative referred me to Apple's webpages on generic iPad troubleshooting. She also admonished me not to jailbreak my iPhone or iPad because they'd then be jailbroken---and that's bad.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you fix it? Apart from just using the full iTunes program, that is---I don't take my laptop on the road with me when I travel, which can be for weeks at a time, so I'd like to be able to shut these notifications off through the app interface if at all possible.
Thanks very much for your help and suggestions!

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Why won't Notes sync between iPad and iPhone?

I own an iPad and iPhone and use MobileMe. My contacts, calendar, mail and iDisk all sync properly but I can't get Notes to work.
On my iPhone Notes, I have the option of selecting the following accounts:
From my PC
MobileMe
My 3 different email addresses
I have placed my notes under both "From my PC" and "MobileMe."
My iPad doesn't even give me the option to select the various accounts in the same way the iPhone does.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't find any other topics that are having problems similar to mine.

I purchased my ipad at a Apple store and the salesman sold me the mobileme convincing me that everything including Notes would sync in the clouds! I still cant understand why we're paying for something that doesn't yet work. This is unacceptable. I just want my NOTES to seamlessly sync between my iphone, ipad and mobileme just like everybody else. Is this too much to ask or expect? Besides, isnt what thousands of paying mobileme subscribers expect.
I want my NOTES to be identical on all platforms and not have to check my mail accounts. As far as my Notes taken with my Ipad, they don't sync anywhere and spent endless hours trying to figure it out only to find out that the sync feature is not yet available for the Notes on my ipad. Thanks Apple! You succeeded to mislead me and taking my money in advance. How long do we have to wait for this to be resolved? We have the right to get a truthful answer and don't appreciate being fooled.

Why does Itunes ask me to setup my iphone...again!!!!

This is why this system is so frustrating. I have an iphone 4, when I go plug it into itunese popups up and asks me:
"Setup your Iphone"
And I have 2 options:
1. Setup as new iphone
2. Restore from backup
I don't want either!!! I just want ot sync my phone. Why does itunes think this is a new phone? What do I do from here?
Thanks,

I am currently having the same issue, did you ever find a solution to your problem?

Does mac mail sync with ipad and iphone mail?

upgraded to mountain lion and i thought if i delete/read a email on mac mail then it would also delete/read on ipad and iphone but it will not. can i correct that?

I have a .me account, a yahoo account, and a microsoft exchange account all in the mail application. I receive mail on my mac, iphone, and ipad but after I read it I have to delete on each device to remove it. Also if i send an email on a device it does not show in the send folder in the other devices. ???

Why does iTunes delete all my music and then re-download (not all of) it when I sync?

So, I plugged my phone into my PC, and it loaded on the iTunes screen. I then went into the device and removed a couple of playlists from the phone (it had run out of space). When I then hit sync, rather than just removing the playlists and syncing to update anything that needed updated, it bloody well deleted ALL my music and then started downloading it again. We are talking about around 30-50GB of music. Not only this, but it appears to NOT download all the tracks on my playlists so I'm left with half the music I should have.
I have had this happen before and last time it totally screwed up my phone leaving me with the only option of completely reinstalling iOS7. Has anyone else had this happen? Is it fixable? Not only this, but I am aware of "manage music manually" but have no idea where it is or how to activate it. I'm just bloody sick of apple! Why can't they get their **** together and fix these little bugs. I love their hardware but they clearly have too many ego driven tossers programming their software who don't think fixing issues is their problem!
Any help would be most appreciated as it's driving me up the bloody wall! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

I have 2 ipad 2s. On the newer one I can log in and update to IOS 5 with no problem. On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." Why does it work on one ipad and not on the other?

I have 2 ipad 2s. On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem. On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation. Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?

Well, I spoke too soon. Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads. Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other. I'm getting more confused by the minute.
