Why is ITunes 11 not recognizing mobile devices?

I recently performed a normal software update which consisted of the ITunes 11, the current version of ITunes.  Everything appears to be working properly, with the exception of managing mobile devices.  When plugged in, no prompts, windows, displays, or notifications of any kind appear as in previous versions of ITunes for mobile devices such as IPhone or IPad. 
I went up into the drop down bar, and was able to find a tab labeled, "devices".  When you scroll to the options under devices, everything was grayed out and I was unable to synch, back up, etc anyting plugged in. 
How am I able to remedy this issue?  Any suggestions encouraged.  Thanks for your time.

  • IPod Gen 5, I need to reset it, but iTunes is not recognizing the device?

    I have an iPod touch that the kids disabled, but when I plug it into the cpu in recovery mode windows recognizes it but iTunes doen't?  Please help?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Then if necessary:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • When i connect my iphone to itune, it shown Apple Mobile Device not yet started, cannot connect my ipone and itunes, why?

    when I connect my iphone to the iTunes, it said "Apple Mobile Device" service not yet activated, service cannot start?
    What does it mean? I connect my iphone to iTunes everynight, only tonight this message pop out?

    You can try to start the AMDS by going to task manager (ctrl/alt/delete), Choose the services tab and right click on the AMDS and choose start service. This will sometimes work, but usually iTunues needs to be reinstalled. If you reinstall iTunes, follow this KB how to article --> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

    does anyone have a solution as to why Itunes is not recognizing my Ipod or Iphone in the device colunm?

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.

  • Why is my phone not recognized as my device?

    When I plug in my phone in the computer to charge or update apps, my phone is being recognized as another phone name or device in our household. In ITunes under devices is shows my name to my phone. Just not sure why the computer is not recognizing my name with my phone in devices. Does it matter or should I be concerned?

    Try resetting the the iPod Nano.  For how to reset see the appropriate section of:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod touch fourm. They are very different that the Nano.
