Why does my Itunes no longer recognize my Iphone 4s?

Just recently my Iphone (when plugged in to my Windows PC) does not show up on my Itunes. An "IPHONE" tab used to appear in the corner next to the "Itunes store" tab after i connected it, but now not any more. It does still charge my Iphone and when connected it does still ask if the Iphone can "trust" this computer. its done that before and when i would press "trust" it connected just fine, but now when i press "trust" it makes the "disconnecting" sound.the same sound that it makes when i disconnect from my pc. and no device appears on my itunes.
Ive tried different USB cables and tried it without my otterbox on it and still. It seems like its not syncing because theirs a glich with the "Trust"-"Dont Trust" notification.. whats up?

  • ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4

    I have had 3 iOS devices connecting to iTunes on Windows for more than 4 months.  For some reason iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4.  My iPad and iPhone 4S still work as they should.  Windows sees the iPhone 4, but it never shows up in iTunes.  I followed the advice for getting services restarted in Windows, but since it's only one device that's an issue I'm thinking there may be an issue in the iPhone 4.  Ideas?

    try this, it worked for me...

  • PC and iTunes no longer recognize my iPhone 4?

    Hoping someone can help as I'm completely at a loss and super frustrated.
    My PC & iTunes no longer "see" my iPhone 4 when I connect it to my computer. I've tried all my USB ports- they all charge my phone, but it does not show up in device manager, etc. I have also tried updating iTunes, reinstalling iTunes, restarting my iPhone, completely charging iPhone before plugging in, restarting my computer a billion times, and making sure it is not conflicting with any security software. I've also gone into MSconfig and followed these directions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275. Nothing has worked.
    I am running Windows XP Media 2002 SP2. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3. I connected my phone to my computer back in January before updating to 6.1.3 and computer recognized phone just fine. Have not tried to plug in since, but now I really would like to pull the pictures off my phone and start fresh.. But can't.
    Help?

    Have you tried connecting the phone to another computer? You can try to connect to another computer that has iTunes connected. Make sure that computer does not have iTunes set to automatically sync. After that, you should be able to import your pictures from the Camera Roll via the Scanner and Camera Wizard for older versions of Windows, or via the Import manager in the newer versions of Windows.
    Have you checked to make sure your Windows is up to date? Is SP2 the latest update for that version of XP? While you say that you did connect to the computer some time in the past, the tech specs for the iPhone 4 show that Windows XP needs to be SP3.

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • Why does my iPad no longer recognize my apple tv(2)

    Why does my iPad (1) no longer recognize my apple tv(2)?

    Hello, Winston, and thanks for the tip. I did unplug my apple tv, and replug it, and all was well again! Are you really Winston Churchill? My cousin James Humes is one of the foremost Churchill experts in the U.S., who has known the family for a long time, and has written many books on that great man. I named my white boxer Winston Churchill Humes. Thanks again!

  • ITunes no longer recognizes attached iPhone or iPad

    I currently run OS X 10.9.5 with iTunes 12.0.1.26 on an early 2009 iMac. With the latest update of iTunes, which I think *****, it no longer recognizes either my iPhone 5 or my iPad Mini (Retina) when plugged into the Mac. It was working, and now it isn't. It won't even sync via WiFi at this point.

    It seems to work again after a clean shutdown and reboot. Should not happen.

  • My itunes no longer recognizes my iphone

    I have a 3G iphone - and have had no trouble synching with my computer until yesterday.  Itunes no longer lists my iphne in the left hand column, even though my computer(Windonws) recognizes the device.  Any suggestions or help? It woudl be appreciated!

    Thanks Jason, I will give it another shot and let you know how it turns out. This is the most helpful reply I have seen so far, nothing has even mentioned the AppleMobileDevice extension/receipts. Even iSync will not recognize the iPhone either. I suspect it has to be something in iTunes that is wiggy. Just noticed some weird sync issues with my AppleTV in the past few days.

  • Why does it take so long for the iPhone to recognize when space has been freed up for photos?

    The short story:
    I try to take a photo using the built in camera app. I get the dreaded 'no enough storage' message.
    I then delete a bunch of photos, podcasts, etc. effectively freeing up plenty of space to take a photo.
    Nope - iPhone Camera still things there is no space available.
    After some unknown time delay - 10 minutes or more, in many cases, it will FINALLY let me take a photo.
    The longer and more detailed story:
    I know EVERYONE gets this message at one time or another and I know how to resolve it: "Cannot Take Photo - There is not enough available storage to take a photo. You can manage your storage in Settings."
    Fine. I understand that. I'm out of space on my phone (not iCloud, as some users seem to confuse). It's a no brainer - you don't have enough space on your phone to take a new picture. Again - fine, I get that.
    What I DON'T get, and what drives me absolutely NUTS, is that I will then go through my photos and delete a dozen or so that I don't really want, easily freeing up a good 20Mb or more, then when I try to take a photo again, I STILL GET THE out of space MESSAGE! Baloney. I am NO LONGER out of space. iPhone, you incredibly well designed and intelligent piece of hardware, why, for the love of all that is good, can't you figure out that I know have 20Mb free?
    So, then I'll jump over to Podcasts, which I love, but take up lots of room on my phone. I'll delete a few of the large ones I've already listened to, easily freeing up a few HUNDRED MEGABYTES. We should be good to go, right? WRONG. The iPhone genius still tells me I don't even have enough space to eek out one lousy photo.
    If I let my phone sit there long enough -- 10 minutes, 30 minutes, a few hours -- I haven't determined when the magic happens -- eventually the iPhone realizes that 'Hey, the user just deleted a bunch of junk and, wow, I'll be a son of a gun -- there IS enough space now to take a photo. iPhone -- happy!'
    Thanks for nothing, iPhone. By this time, my daughter has stopped doing that amazing cute thing that I wanted to capture forever and quite possibly spawn the next generation of 'Charlie Bit Me' parodies. I freed up 500 Mb of prime photo snapping space 20 minutes ago. Thanks for finally realizing it. I realize you can only do like 170 quadrillion calculations a millisecond. I realize these things take time.
    Can one of you iPhone engineers please, for goodness sake, please explain to me why this INFURIATING and seemingly unnecessary delay exists? I am no Windows fan boy but I can sure tell you that when I'm running low on hard drive space on my laptop and then delete 1GB of files, that 1GB INSTANTLY becomes available to me. I don't have to wait some interminable timeframe until it magically is usable.
    One last thing that is puzzling -- so the native iPhone camera will refuse to let me take a photo because it things we're out of space (when we're not) but any third party photo app, like Camera+ or Camera Awesome, will happily snap pictures all day long. In fact, once I've taken them using one of these apps, I can then SAVE THEM TO THE CAMERA ROLL!
    By the way -- when I started this well thought out rant, my iPhone said it was out of storage, and now, five minutes later -- you guessed it -- still out of storage, despite the fact that I deleted 10 photos and 4 podcasts.
    So. Incredibly. Infuriating.
    For you iOS 7 users, please let me know if this issue has been resolved at all with iOS 7. I've held off upgrading because iOS 7 messed up a bunch of things with the camera, at least on my wife's iPhone 5. Focus no longer works reliably -- touch to focus and touch to expose no longer work well -- the quality of photos took a big hit. I won't update until these issues have been resolved.

    Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
    I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
    Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
    I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
    Thanks for chiming in.

  • Why does my iMac no longer recognize my external disk device after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

    I've used an external hard drive for my Time Machine back-up for a few years.  After I upgraded to Snow Leopard recently, the Time Machine delayed.  When I tried to select a disk, my external drive no longer appears (it says "None").  The USB and power are all plugged in.

    Thanks for replying.  No, it doesn't show up anywhere anymore.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone

    Just upgraded to a 5s from an iPhone 5. Used my previous backups from the 5 to configure the 5s from iTunes no problem, it recognised it fine for first couple days.
    Then I decided to build an app to it with XCode. It didn't recognize it.  It's organiser still listed my previous phone, and since they shared the same name, I renamed the new phone to avoid confusion. Once I did that, iTunes stop recognizing it, and can't see it at all any more.
    Here's the details.
    a) I have NOT done any builds or anything to the phone with XCode, since it wasn't recognized.
    b) I've restarted my mac and iTunes multiple times.
    c) I've renamed the phone back to the previous name.
    d) I'm running the very latest versions of everything, iOS, Mavericks, iTunes.
    Any ideas on how to get iTunes to recognise my new phone (or XCode, but i figure iTunes is first priority, if I solve that XCode might work too).

    Pretty simple solution. Make sure your USB cable is firmly plugged into your computer, not the wall charger.

  • Why does it take so long for my iPhone to back up?

    I'm trying to sync some music onto my iPhone 3G.. but it's taking forever.. is there anything I can do to make it go faster??
    Thanx

    Well, I found a series of steps somewhere on the Apple support site (or forums) but I don't remember exactly where. I have times where the backup of my 16GB iPhone 3G takes 5 hours or more to complete. I have found that in my case, it is all related to one app that I have which I also tend to crash quite often. The more it crashes, the longer the backup takes. I can remove that one app from the phone before I sync and the backup will complete in less than a minute.
    I don't have all the details on the steps I originally found, since I now know what causes my issue. Basically, the steps had you configure iTunes to not automatically sync when you connect your device. Then you connect the device and right mouse button click on it. In that menu you do something but I don't exactly remember what. It has to do with the crash/error reports that are stored on the phone. You probably need to clear those crash reports out and then sync your phone on a regular/frequent basis to keep them cleared out.

  • Why does it take so long to receive your itunes receipt

    When you buy something on itunes why does it take so long to receive the receipt??

    Because the receipt usually gathers all your purchases over the course of a week or so and combines them into one receipt. Do you really want a receipt for every app or song you download??
