Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. Please Help, There is more information below. Thanks.

My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. It charges but doesn't load as external memory or in itunes.
I am running OS X 10.4.11 and using iTunes 9.2.1.
I have tried to be as specific as possible, I hope somebody can help as this is the main thing I will be using my mac for.
Thanks in advance.

....and an 800mHz Mac cannot officially run 10.5.8. There may be some third-party hacks to allow tricking the installer into thinking the computer qualifies and permit the install to continue, but 10.5 will be very sluggish on that machine even if you have a lot of RAM.
The other problem is valid 10.5 retail install disks. They are getting hard to find, only on DVD (not all early iMacs have DVD-capable drives), and often sell today for more than their original price of US$129.

itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

Hi CMC08,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
Erase and restore
If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
Recovery
Mode
Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on.
Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
I hope this information helps ....

ITunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s

iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s. I need it to, so I can choose the sync via WIFI. Plus, I am unable to download iTunes by just using WIFI and my iPhone 5s. I checked the Computer Manager areas and the settings appear correct. My laptop runs on Windows 8.1.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

PC will not recognize my iphone camera.

My PC (xp os) will not recognize my iphone as a camera in camera and scanner wizard. The wizard asks for a driver disk. Any suggestions.

If you don't already have the latest iTunes, get it, if you do have it, try a re-install...the driver comes from the iTunes install.

My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c

My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c, therefore I can't import any of my pictures.
I read that it could be the cable do I went out and bought another but it is still not working?
Neither itunes nor iphoto open when I plug in my phone, however when I open up itunes manually, it recognizes it. Any suggestions?

Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to USB. The iPhone will prompt you, if you trust this computer. Confirm that you trust it.
Then try again to import to Photos.
If "trust" was not the reason, try a different USB port on your computer.

Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

Suddenly my LR 5 will not recognize my iPhone, which I updated to OS 8. I need my pictures NOW - help!

Suddenly my LR 5 will not recognize my iPhone, which I updated to OS 8. I need my pictures NOW - help!

I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.
