Why won't my iPhone 5 connect to iTunes and Windows?

I've been trying to connect my iPhone 5 to iTunes for the passed few weeks now. The Apple Mobile Device Driver won't install properly whenever I connect to my computer and my iPhone is neither recognized in Windows nor iTunes. I've gone through virtually every support article that I've been able to find and nothing has seemed to work for me. Every time I connect I get a notification that says "USB not recognized" and right after "Device driver unsuccessfully installed". I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and still nothing. I can't seem to put my finger on the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

hmm... try to uninstall current version and install fresh one from Apple website http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Why won't my iPhone 4 connect to iTunes

I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes through my computer but everytime I plug it in, iTunes freezes and won't do anything. I end up having to ctrl+alt+del to close it down. Earlier it was saying that there was something wrong with the syncing and that the information couldn't be sent to iTunes.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3). Here's where to get it: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426

This definitely works and only takes a couple of minutes. There is no need for backing up or resetting your phone.
Go to Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings

Why won't my iphone stay connected to wifi

Just recently my iphone won't stay connected to my home wifi, my mac stays connected
just fine. Unfortunately, I haven't checked it on other wifi's...would this even make a
difference. I have a 4S,software is 6.1.2, when I click on my wifi I get the ole "unable to
join the network "......." . BTW why the heck does it want me to "dismiss" ..everytime I
see it I hate it more!!

Try resetting network settings, under settings, general, reset, reset network settings. Basically it refreshes the connection between your phone and all wireless connections like wifi and cellular. Also try resetting your home modem/router to make sure that is a fresh connection as well.

Why won't my iPhone 4s connect to iCloud?

II've got an Apple ID, I've got great wifi( don't tell me I don't because I I'm using all my other apps with it like Facebook) and it keeps saying connection timed out and it won't verify my apple ID and I'm completely outta storage. Help?

So you are trying to log into iCloud on the iPhone in Settings, or are you trying to log into it via Safari?

Why won't my iphone 4 connect to my home network?

I've had my iphone4 connected to my home wifi network for about 18 months with no problems. A few weeks ago it suddenly dropped the connection and when I try to connect, and enter the password, it tries but then responds that it can't join the network.
I can connect to other networks at work and in public. There is a laptop and another iphone4 connected to the home network with no problems.
Today, I ahve reset the router (as suggested on another thread) and reconfigured the network. The laptop is connected and working but now NEITHER iphone will connect to the wifi.
Help please!
Sue

Thanks for trying but mine hasn't. I've connected to this router before with no problems. There doesn't seem to be a reasonable explanation.

Why won't my iPhone work after latest iTunes update on Windows XP?

Not the most technically savy guy. Tried to sync my iPhone on my computer like I have plenty of other times before, but got a warning message saying that the hardware that I was attempting to install has not been verified through Windows XP (or something to that effect). Now, my iPhone will not work. The screen only shows the USB icon and iTunes icon with arrow in between signaling to connect to iTunes.... it is already connected to my computer!

I have a trick to resolve this problem ; uninstall all programs which make up itune such as iTunes,Apple Application Support ,Apple Mobile Device Support ,Apple Software Update and Bonjour. After uninstalling those programs,download and reinstall the current version iTunes. It can help you to sync your iphone with iTune.

Why won't my iPad 2 connect to iTunes store?

I can connect to the Internet without problems. I can sign in to iTunes and apple. When I try to download apps or update apps a window pops up saying "cannot connect to iTunes store". I have updated my ipad with the current OS. Why and what should I do?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why won't my iPod shuffle connect to itunes?

I just bought the iPod Shuffle 4th Generation and downloaded iTunes onto my laptop today. The Shuffle won't connect to my iTunes or my computer properly.
When I connected it to the computer (Windows 7), it said "unable to sync device" or something like that. I know it's not my USB ports because everything seems to work with it EXCEPT for the Shuffle. In iTunes, the Shuffle won't even show up in the devices. It's not my first time using iTunes. I used to have it on my old computer, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. In terms of the Shuffle itself, I turned it on and pressed play and it just keeps saying "please use iTunes to music onto this device"
I already tried the troubleshooting guide, but that doesn't seem to work either ...

If that error message says "unknown device" (it's not about syncing), the cause may be iTunes not being installed properly. When iTunes is installed, it also installs drivers that allow Windows to recognize iPods. You should try installing iTunes again. You can download the latest iTunes installer here
https://www.apple.com/itunes/
If that does not help, you may need to completely uninstall iTunes (and related components), then reinstall

Why won't my new device connect to iTunes when I plug it in to a USB?

I'm trying to sync my new iPhone, but the device doesn't show up on my iTunes account, any tips on how to fix it?

Hi there Caden Erickson,
I understand that iTunes is not recognizing your iOS device when you have connected the device to your computer. I have two articles for you that will help you through some troubleshooting steps designed to resolve this issue. Here is the article for addressing this issue if you are on a Mac:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
