Why won't my iPhone or iPad connect to iTunes?

Both my phone and iPad will not connect to iTunes even though they are recegnized by my computer.  I have done everything from restarting the devices and my computer to reinstalling iTunes.  I need help.

So you followed all of the instructions in TS1538 and it did not help. Then you looked at TS1567 which I sent you and it didn't help. Is this all correct? I"m guessing that you are using Windows.
Then you need to remove and reinstall iTunes. Use this support document and follow the instructions exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 Then try and connect your iPhone.

  • TS1368 Iphone and Ipad connections to Itunes store problem

    On both my iPad 2 and iPhone 3g I cannot access the itunes store to download updates for my apps. I enter my apple id and password and on both devices I get the message "cannot connect to itunes store" and the only option is to press ok. I know the apple id and password are correct as they work fine on my MacBook Pro. Also internet connection works fine on both devices

    I think I've worked out that my problem was caused by me changing my apple I.d. That is my apps were purchased with one apple i d but I was using the new one for trying to download the updates. Seems obvious, but it would have been easie if the apple error message just told me that!

  • Why won't my iPhone sync my music from iTunes?

    My iPhone 5 will not sync with my iTunes. It claims to do so, but when I check my phone it's all basically the same prior to the sync. The biggest issue I have right now is my music, I have to delete everything manually from my phone. I'm not sure if it's iCloud or anything but it's becoming a bother. I'm OCD and that was one of the main reason why I chose an iPhone- it's clean and simple. I know for a fact that the issue is not my iTunes, but my iPhone. I've tried restarting and everything, I'm just at a dead end here. SOS.

    I have no restrictions on my phone. The AppleID is the same for all of my devices. Yes, iTunes is set up for manual sync.
    I figured out the problem though and fixed it. Now, thankfully, everything is fine. I first did an encrypited backup for my phone on iTunes which I saved on my Mac. I then restored my iPhone and went through the process of restoring...I also went through each and every single song to make sure it downloaded properly. After all of that my content and music are perfectly fine.

  • Why doesn't the iPhone or iPad connect via bluetooth?

    I try to connect my iPhone to other phones or even other iPhone and it doesn't find any phone,even the iPad.It only says searching and ''Now visible'' but doesn't connects with anything.
    What was the Bluetooth made for, if it doesn't work with own Apple's devices??So,it works with what??

    It works with the things it is designed to work with. i.e. headsets, headphones, speakers, car stereos, other iOS devices for peer to peer apps and computers for internet tethering.
    There are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not all are supported by all devices. Apple chose to support the ones here:

  • Why won't my iphone 4 show up in itunes

    I have an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 and a Macbook Pro running 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1 (b10).
    For some reason, in the last few days, my iPhone won't show up in iTunes any more. I generally have a LOT of devices plugged in, but I've tried running with only the iPhone and the external drive with my iTunes library plugged in.
    I've tried multiple iPhone cables, tried rebooting the machine.
    I've tried adding the Applications --> iTunes --> Show Package Contents --> Contents --> MacOS --> iTunesHelper to my Login Items
    iTunes still detects my AppleTV in Devices, but the iPhone won't show up.
    When I plug in the phone it goes to charging mode, so I know that a connection is being made.
    Any suggestions, tips, or links I can pursue to try to be able to resync my phone?

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5S show up in iTunes?

    I know there are a lot of posts about this; basically, I am running Windows 8.1 on my laptop and I have downloaded the newest iTunes software.
    When I plug my iPhone 5S (ios 8.0.2) into my laptop, Windows recognises it, but iTunes will not. I have tried all of the fixes I have read, I have followed the Apple Troubleshooting for when devices aren't being recognised, to no avail. I have updated my drivers through Windows Device Manager, I have tried restarting, disabling and enabling Apple Mobile Device through Windows Services. I have restarted my computer, I have reset my phone, and still nothing! I have took all Apple software off my computer and re-installed everything, but still getting nowhere.
    PLEASE can someone offer some advice?!
    Like I say, I know there are a lot of posts about itunes/windows 8 issues such as this, I am only posting a new one cause I have tried everything I've read so far!
    Thanks!

  • Why won't my iPhone 4s sync to my iTunes?

    I am very frustrated with Apple right now!  Today, I wanted to synch my phone to my iTunes to delete music from it and back it up.  So, I plugged my phone in and it didn't show up on iTunes.  So, I updated my phone.  Still didn't show up.  So I updated iTunes.  Still didn't show up.  So I reset all of my settings on my phone.  Still didn't show up.  So I called Apple Support, who were very helpful and told me to uninstall literally all of my Apple programs.  I DID.  This was a very, very lengthy process.  Afterwards, I re-downloaded iTunes, and now when I plug my phone in, nothing happens!  It has been doing various things, but still not working.  Sometimes the iPhone button will come up but it will stop scrolling and the whole iTunes will freeze.  Other times it has an error message saying it can't read my phone.  Other times nothing will happen.  I have rebooted, and Ctrl+Alt+deleted and nothing changes.  Do I have to uninstall and reinstall it for the third time today?  My phone will show up on two other computers using the same usb cord.  I am on a Windows Vista Computer.  I have literally been trying this entire day and I feel so stumped.  I can't continue using my phone fully because I have too many songs, and I just want to delete some songs!  So frustrating.  Any advice at all? 

    me too!

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 download music from iTunes?

    My iPhone 4 says I have downloaded the music that I'm trying to download already, but I haven't. I tried downloading it a bunch of times, but it never works. On the iTunes Store app it will tell me it's already downloaded, but through the music app it has the cloud thing meaning it isn't downloaded. Any help/suggestions is appreciated. Thank you :)
    P.S m phone has 1 GB left, but I'm only trying to download two songs. I deleted a whole album I never listen to anymore in case there wasn't enough room, but it didn't help. It still does the same thing. It just started too because I downloaded music early this morning and it worked.

    Log out of your Apple Store account (Settings > Store > Sign Out) then sign back in.  Should fix the problem.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4S sync with my iTunes?

    I just got the new iPhone 4S to replace my recently broken phone and the iTouch I lost late last year, so of course one of the first things I wanted to do was get all of my old apps on to it. When I plugged it in, and went on to iTunes, my iPhone was not even recognized on the iTunes, as in, nothing showed up for it. Idk what is wrong. Can somebody help me? Thanks (:

    This is a repeat of my question above.  Disregard this :response."

    Have you contacted Sprint?  See if they can resolve your issue, if you can't get 3G.

  • Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always only shows LTE

    Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always shows LTE instead of 4g.  I will be sitting next to someone with the same phone and service and they have 4g and I have LTE.

    Yup, you want LTE all the time.   As Loquat  stated, LTE = 4G
    when you are sitting next to someone and the phone says 4G, it is a ATT or T mobile connection.  They have fake or faux 4G that is a step down from LTE.  It really is 3G+ but they came up with the fake 4G.  This is why Verizon put LTE to indicate it is real 4G technology, not hype. 

  • Why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

    why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Why won't my iphone download the apple updates from the apple store?

    Why won't my iphone download updates from apple store?

    Hi cindyhildy, follow these instructions below it has fixed my issue and should work for you.
    Open app store, get the message "unable to connect to iTunes store", go to settings, change year to the last year it will let you (think I went to 2038), double tap home button and close app store,  go to home screen and then open app store and touch updates panel, should get a message "cannot get secure connection to server or something like that" go back to settings and reset the year to current.
