Why won't my phone connect to iTunes so i can re-able it because its disabled but says it wont connect?

It says it need connected to iTunes so i tried to connect it to there but it wont  connect what do i do?

Open iTunes on you computer plug the phone into it and then try a hard reboot while connecte. To do this hold the power button and the home button down together. The phone will **** down and restart keep holding the buttons until the phone starts back up.

  • Why won't my phone connect to my pc when another iphone will

    my wife has an Iphone 4s as do I
    my phone will connect to our ASUS laptop pc and itunes without any problems.
    my wifes phone will not.
    The pc returns connection errors sometimes other times there are driver installation errors.
    and other times it just doesn't do anything
    any suggestions as to cause and resolution are much appreciated.
    specs
    asus laptop running windows 7 home premium with service pak 1
    iTunes ver. 11.1.5.5
    my phone is a 4s running iOs 7.1
    my wifes phone is a 4s running iOs 7.0.4 and will not install iOs 7.1 due to lack of available free space on the device
    i am trying to free up space by removing photos and videos

    thank you Lawrence, you are probably correct
    unfortunately sounds more like a broken dock connector 
    I cleaned both the phone connector and the cable connector with a soft brush and a little alchohol
    no improvement
    looks like it may be time for a trip to the apple store
    thanks again

  • HT1766 Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--it spends hours saying "Backup in progress" and then it just fails?!

    Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?!  I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?

    I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
    Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!)

  • I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

    I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone?

    Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
    Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
    Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
    SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
    Thanks for your help!

  • HT204380 Why won't my FaceTime connect with others?

    Why won't my FaceTime connect with others?

    Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
    and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
    Hope this helped :)

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

    What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

  • HT1692 I have 2 phones on 1 iTunes account. Can I separate the contacts

    I have 2 phones on 1 iTunes account. Can I separate the contacts

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
