Will not restore or show up in iTunes?!

Have recently upgraded iPhone 3 software to most recent and has backed up fine, but will not restore. The screen says connect to iTunes but will not be picked up on itunes at all, and will not show on my computer either ?!?!

Have tried all of that, it comes up with No programme supports apple iphone in recovery mode, insert disc e.c.t and then does not show up anywhere else on the computer. After updating it, it said there was an error restoring the iPhone, which may be the reason why it isnt being picked up properly.
What are the exact messages that you are seeing?

  • Itunes will not launch, it shows  message of "itunes library .itl" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I tried opene it in save mode but I had the same problem.

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • Ipod "corrupted" and will not restore following logging on to itunes

    Please please help!! I have recently bought 2 ipod classic's (120GB). I have previously had MP3 players and all of my music has been in either wma or mp3 format on the computer (through windows media). i have managed to convert all 500+ albums over to itunes but my ipod is now apparently corrupted "code 1439". I have tried everything on the apple website and it will not restore to factory settings. Th ipod itself is saying 0KB free even though there is nothing on it. I tried to download music from itunes and it got to three albums and then crashed. This is my second ipod, having sent the previous one back to the retailer. If anybody can help then it will be greatly appreciated. Computer runs on windows XP pro, Norton 360 installed, and all of my music is still in Windows media as well.
    Cheers

    This Error usually indicates a Hardware issue with the Device... However...
    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    If using windows...
    Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

  • IPod will not charge or show up in iTunes

    My iPod will not charge when I connect it to my computer through the USB cable. It does not show up on iTunes. Nothing comes up on the iPod screen at all. The iPod is completely dead. I have tried pressing the menu and center button at the same time. I have tried toggling the hold button. I have tried every combination. It is an old iPod (3 or 4 years at least) 80gb video. I have tried charging on another computer. It seems to only stop working like this if the battery dies completely.
    Is there another solution to this besides the menu/center button solution?
    Thanks!!

    This is the exact same problem I have. The only thing that works for me is to charge it on an old ihome alarm clock. I bought the alarm clock at the same time as the ipod, and I haven't tried it on a newer ihome device. Once my ipod is totally dead, thats the only thing that will work. I even took it to the apple store and they told me all they could do was give me 10% off a new ipod and "recycle" mine. Before you do that, I would really recommend trying to charge it on an ihome or similar device. Here is a link to the ihome I used to charge mine: http://www.uberreview.com/2005/06/ihome-ih5-ipod-alarm-clock.htm
    I hope this works for you!

  • Ipod Classic will not restore or show in itunes

    The other day my ipod froze so I decided to reset it. When I did that the original screen would not reappear and instead it told me to restore it. "Fine," I thought, but I was on an airplane at the time and didnt have any internet. When I tried to do the same thing with internet access, my ipod wouldnt even show up on my computer, despite going through the same steps. I've let the battery die and then plugged it into my computer to charge and try resetting again, but the dreaded "do not disconnect" screen comes up but my ipod isnt showing in itunes. I've updated to the latest version of itunes. What should I do? Help help! I have a 19 hour plane ride that would be tragic without my ipod.

    Try charging to a wall outlet instead of a computer. It charges much faster.
    And try the 5 R's > Apple - Support - iPod - iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant

  • HT201210 error 3194 code keeps coming up.  Will not restore iphone when hooked to itunes

    i have tried to restore on 3 seperate computers
    What can I do ???
    thanks

    Are you trying to install 6.1.4, or the latest version, which is 7.0.2? That error means that you are either downgrading, or your phone is jailbroken. Downgrading is not supported, and jailbroken can't be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.

  • Help, Phone will not restore, stuck in connect to itunes screen.

    Hi everyone,
    I have an Iphone 4S, i updated it over wifi to ISO7, when it restarted it is stuck in the connect to Itunes page.
    I have tried to restore it but it keeps coming up with (unknown error 3014) It is stuck on the apple screen and itunes is saying that it updating firmwire. tried it on a brand new computer with a fresh install of Itunes, still the same problem. i have also tried restoring it in DFU mode, which i have had to do many times in the past. my phone is just not having any of it. i have restarted the pc and the phone, disabled all antivirus and firewall on the computer to see if that helps with no avail.
    Any suggestions would be great.

    I too was having this problem with my iPad 2.  Upgraded iOS from 7.1.1 to 8.1.1 then got stuck in same loop telling me to connect to itunes but would never finish the install of iOS 8.1.1.  
    I eventually did what I didn't want to do.  I upgraded my OSX from Mavericks to Yosemite.  Then made sure all my apps/programs on my mac were up to date.  Then connected iPad 2 to iTunes and this time it worked. 
    Oh, and Yosemite isn't bad so far.

  • I have 2 ipod touch's that both have frozen screens and will not reset or show up in itunes. They both froze after trying to update to the latest software version. How do I get them to work?

    I have 2 touch's that froze when trying to update to the latest ios version. Neither respond to restarting the devices. They are also not recognized in windows or itunes. How do I get these to work. I followed all of the instructions on  the apple website and they still don't work. I have verified that I have apple support for mobile devices installed in itunes and my version of itunes is 11.0.1. I am running windows 7 64bit with service pack 1 installed and all of my updates are current. Is anybody else having this problem with their apple devices?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After I updated iTunes, iPhone will NOT synch or show up on iTunes

    I updated iTunes last night and now when I plug the iPhone into the usb port nothing happens. I see the iphone light up with the full battery but no synching at all and nothing appears on iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled(itunes, apple mobile, apple software update, quicktime) counting this morning a total of 5 times. Still no sign iTunes is reading the phone. I also notice I cannot access the iTunes store or check for updates. I haven't even updated the phone itself yet. Any suggestions? Thanks guys and happy new year all!

    your not alone. I have the same problem and nothing I do can get iTunes to see the phone. My iTunes works fine and has all the new rental features but no iPhone support.

  • My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It keeps telling me - the iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (4) - I have tried every suggestion I could find so far. Any ideas as to what I can do?

    My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
    When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
    I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes will not restore my 2nd gerneration ipod shuffle giving error1418

    Itunes will not restore my 2nd generation ipod shuffle. I am getting an error 1418. I am running Windows Vista so none of the fixes that I have seen seem to work for me. Is there anything else that I can try or am I ipodless until Wednesday or Thusday when the new I pod arrives? And I thought Sleepless in Seattle was bad. Shuffleless in Seattle is much worse.
