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

Why won't my iPhone 6 connect to iTunes store when trying to make in App purchases?

Why won't my iPhone 6 connect to the iTunes store when trying to make in App purchases? Wifi and internet are working properly and all login/billing info is correct. Any thoughts?

Go to settings/itunes & app store tap on the apple ID then view Apple ID then tap on payment information and check that all is correct

Why won't my iphone sync with Outlook. It will not even give me the option to click on Sync Calendar

My Iphone calendar used to sync automatically with Outlook on my PC. Now, for some reason, it will not sync and when I try to click on Sync Calendar, it will not let me do it. Nothing happens. Help!

Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.

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 won't my iPod sync up with iPhoto though iTunes?

I always have my iPod classic (newest model) syncing everything automatically because of the 160GB storage, including my photo's in iPhoto.
Now, for some unknown reason, when syncing with photos ticked, iTunes displays this message: 'The iPod: "Haydn's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found' it took me some time to figure out it was photos and not music, so anyway, why is this? I haven't done anything that I can think would cause this error.
Thanks!

Often, this problem can be fixed if you locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.

IPhone not syncing properly with iTunes 10.5

Hi,
I recently updated my iPhone 4 to the iOS 5 and also updated my iTunes to 10.5. A few days later I got an error message on my iTunes which said that the library was damaged, it would create and new one and save the 'old' one has "iTunes Library (Damaged)". Shortly after I synced my phone with iTunes and it removed many of my apps and all my playlists and music. I've re-downloaded all my apps, though any pictures, settings, etc saved within them have disappeared. I cleared the music on my phone and re-synced it. Any playlists which were re-synced only actually synced recently added songs (i.e. if a playlist had 20 songs and I added 3 more only those 3 would show up on my phone).
I think all my data, apps, etc are still on the phone but iTunes isn't recognising it; any ideas of how to get iTunes to recognise it?
Thanks!
If it helps or makes a difference, I'm using Windows Vista.

Same thing (?) is happening with my iPhone4. Syncing wirelessly doesn't work at all, and when I connect it to my Mac, sync gets stuck on 'Syncing Genius Data to _____' and under that it says "waiting for items to copy". This is also the case with my iPod Touch 4th gen. Both are on iOS5 and I have the latest iTunes. So I just backup both of them, and then choose the sync button on bottom right of iTunes in the device window. Don't know if it's actually doing anything.
This *****.

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.

IPhone Sync Disabled with iTunes - COMMON PROBLEM

I've read this issue everywhere with iPhone users. When trying to sync with your iTunes, it displays the message "iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone "-" because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?"
Obviously, you click yes. Then it displays "Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer", to which you can accept this fact (OK), or (Override). Either option allows the iPhone to do a basic sync (music, apps, photos, videos), but leaves all your contacts, calendar dates, and Mail accounts on your computer.
In conjunction with this, iSync doesn't seem to be working either, so it leads me to believe there is an error in the sync directory, or whatever.
I've already tried completely removing iTunes and reinstalling it, so i know that doesn't work, as well as reinstalling the iPhone OS, and restarting both.
I have a Macbook Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6.5, running iTunes 10.1.1, with and iPhone 4 running 4.2.1, so everything up to date.
Please can we try and get as many answers as possible on this thread, so people don't have to search around picking ideas form everywhere.
Please help!!

I've read this issue everywhere with iPhone users.
Not here. The same is not reported here very often.
Try repairing disk permissions on your boot drive.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

My iPhone calendar was empty after lion upgrade. Why won't my iPhone sync with ical?

After upgrading my imac to Lion and my iphone4 to OS5, my calendars won't sync and my iphone calendar was totally empty. Why?

Are you certain that the computer does not see the iPhone? By default the iTunes Sidebar is off, so maybe turn Sidebar on and see if your iPhone is listed.
Other questions:
What OS was on your old computer and now the new one?
Did you copy over your "iTunes Library.itl" file from the external drive to the new computer?

Why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? I have just switched from Vista to Windows 7.

I 'upgraded' from Vista to Windows 7 and now iTunes won't recognize my phone or iPad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes; I have gone into device manager to check that the drivers for the phone are up-to-date and, apparently, they are. Still nothing. HELP! please....

Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.
