Why isn't my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop on my itunes that i have downloaded

I do not understand why my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop that I got for Christmas. It did for a while and now its not. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and ipod. Why isn't my itunes finding/syncing my ipod and iphone?!

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
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

What's going on with safari on ipad and iphone not connecting?

What's going on with safari on ipad and iphone not connecting?

I am using safari on my iPad to respond here. What problems are you having? Do you have a good wifi connection? Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

Since last thursday my ipod and iphone cant connect to any wifi, i have restarted and try multiple options, what to do?

since last thursday i have tried to connect my ipod and iphone 5 to wifi with no success. both devices identify different wifis but they can not complete the connection, i guess it has something about the new ios but i am not sure
ihave tried to connect at my home and office but none of the devices connects, i also have two laptops and they are connecting to wifi without any problem.

1. Forget the Wifi Networks in the Wifi section of Settings
2. Restart your phone, hold power button down until Slide To Turn Off appears, slide and wait for phone to restart.
Try to connect to wifi. You will need to re-enter password.
3. Reset your phone, hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears, release both buttons and wait for phone to start
Try to reconnect to wifi.
4. Reset network Settings - Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings. This is another way for the phone to Forget wifi network settings. You will need to re-enter passwords if you can connect.
If none of this work, you may have a broken phone and Apple will need to look it over.

I bought a new ipad2 yesterday and charged the battery and then expected to get going with it but the screen only displays an image of a ubs connection with an arrow pointing to a itunes symbol. I downloaded itunes on a PC and plugged in the ipad to it but nothing changed on the PC or ipad. very frustrating. anyone else experience this or have know how or ideas to help me?

Here is my standard reply, some of which may have no relevance to your situation. Start with trying different USB ports, even a numbe of times.
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

HT4557 Computer and iPhone not connecting?!

I've done everything upto the part when my iPhone should connect to my computer, but nothing is happening after I added the Id and password. Nothing shows up not even the unable turn on home sharing message appears

If you have three different computers and it isn't working on all three... my guess would be that the Firewire port is blown on the camcorder itself- especially if you have tried a new cable. One other thing, make sure that the camera is the ONLY Firewire device on the system and see what happens. If it still doesn't show up I am still thinking that the port on the camera is bad.
And you do have the camera in VTR mode? And I can't remember if the GL has a setting in the menu specifying DV out? You might want to check that.

My iPod and iPhone are connected by the same Apple ID and I've forgotten my pass code to my iPod, is there anyway I can get into it without having to delete anything?

I really need to find a way to get into my iPod without having to delete anything. (Note: my home button and power button don't work and I haven't synced anything at all)

No. You have to restore and thus erase the iPod. You have to options:
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC

Installs blootware on PC too
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

HT1339 i restored my old ipod to factory and is not syncing to my new laptop

I restored my 5th generation ipod to factory because i was told it would help to begin a new with my new laptop. Now all songs are gone on ipod. I can see the new cd's i loaded in itunes but they are not syncing to the ipod. Please help

Bit more info, I have iTunes Version 10.6.0.40.
When I go to the menu on my ipod and click "About" it says 3.4GB used and 141MB free, but it is all "other".
The iPod is Version 1.1.3 PC, Model MA978LL.

IPod and iPhone4 not connecting to iTunes?

When I connect either my iPod Touch (1st Gen) or iPhone4 iTunes does not recognize it as a device and my computer thinks they are both just cameras. I just recently installed iTunes 10 and this whole problem started at that time. I've tried repairing iTunes but nothing happens. The only thing I can think of doing would be uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes once again. Is there a way to change the settings instead of reinstalling so both come up on iTunes?

Figured out the problem - the USB cable I was using would charge but not connect for some reason. Borrowed an official one from a friend and it connected without a problem. The one I got was from Belkin - I'm surprised it didn't work. Maybe it was just damaged, who knows. Anyway, sorry for the trouble and feel free to delete this topic. Although, the Apple help page for troubleshooting connectivity issues should mention using a different USB cable.

Laptop and iPhone not connecting to internet, says password is invalid.

A few days ago, I realized our internet wasn't working as I couldn't go on the internet on my macbook. My iPhone is not connecting to wifi either. I go to connect to our internet, and it says the password is invalid but I did not change it. I've tried unplugging everything and restarting but nothing. I know our internet is still working as our TV is still working. Any ideas?? Thanks!

That was a scam, probably an attempt at phishing.

IPad and iPhone not connecting by bluetooth

My iPhone 5 is not connecting to my iPad by bluetooth. I have reset both and and have the hotspot turned on. The phone does not even list the iPad and just sits there and spins looking for devices. The iPad has the phone listed but says "connection unsuccessful, make sure Linda's iPhone is on and in range" which it is. Anything else I can do?

Sorry you can't connect your iphone and ipad via bluetooth, however you can connect via hotspot.

My ipod classic will not sync to my new laptop with windows 8. Any suggestions please?

I have an iPod classic U2 Limited Edition. After hours of sorting and searching for lost tunes I finally managed to re-create my music library on my new laptop which runs on Windows 8. However, when I connected my iPod, although it starts the sync process it just stops after a few seconds. My old laptop ran on Vista Home Premium. My current laptop has the latest version of iTunes and the software version for the iPod is 1.2.1 which is also the current version. At this point it is just over half full so I know this cannot be the issue. iTunes recognises the iPod when I connect it.
I have checked some online forums and tried some fixes used by other people but these did not solve the problem
This included running iTunes as administrator and also enabling disk use

Hey there netsie_1960,
It sounds like your iPod Classic seems to start syncing, but it stops before it actually finishes. I would recommend the troublehsooting in the following article to help resolve USB syncing issues, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
Try these steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, reset your device and then restore it.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do i get my iphone to connect to my new laptop via itunes?

Hi
I have bought a new laptop because my existing one blew up. I have downloaded itunes on to my new HP Envy but when i connect my i phone it wont create a new back up onto the Envy. The iphone does register in itunes and I tried to back up manually but it wont.
Please help
Ray

OK, that's not what you said in your original post. The iPhone is not a backup device, and there is no way to transfer all of its content to your new computer, but there are some workarounds, described here: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
The better way to do it is to restore the backup that you must have kept of your dead computer to your new one. If you do that when you sync it will recognize that the content is the same and not delete it.
