My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Windows won't detect audio after installing windows 7.

I have a hp pavilion dv9610us notebook pc with windows vista home premium and i recently install windows 7. Now windows won't detect the audio device. I try different software but it said that it can't find the media or device.

Sometimes the Vista driver works...Give that a try.

ITunes won't detect my iPhone 4

I currently use a MacBook Pro with the 12.0.1 version of iTunes, however I also have an iPhone 4 and recently got an iPhone 5. In order to backup my iPhone 4 and put it onto the 5 i need to be able to sync, but iTunes won't detect my device (iPhone 4). I have completely uninstall iTunes so that I can install an older version that is compatible with my iPhone 4.
So my question is, what is the latest version of iTunes available that is compatible with the iPhone 4 software of 7.1?
All help is appreciated, thanks.

For anyone else having this issue on OS X this post will fix it.
Steps 7, 8 and 9 may not be required in Snow Leopard.

MacBook and iTunes won't detect my iPhone 3G

I have the iPhone 3G and it is synced to my PC with windows 7. I just bought a MacBook and want to sync my phone to my MacBook without losing all my contacts and everything on my iPhone, because I plan on selling my PC. The problem is, when I plug my iPhone into my new MacBook the computer and iTunes does not detect my iPhone at all. When I plug it in to the USB port, it charges my phone but it does not detect it on the computer or in the iTunes device list. Yet when I plug my iPod nano into the new MacBook the computer and iTunes detected it immediately. Help! How can I get my MacBook to detect my iPhone so I can use it with my new Mac and not my old pc!?
Thank you!

IPhoto won't detect my iPhone 3GS

Hello guys, I am having trouble syncing my photos on my iPhone to my Mac through iPhoto. I already deleted all the pictures that were not taken with my phone, I have already opened up image capture which still doesn't detect my iPhone (but it does detect my Nikon camera), I have tried restarting my computer as well as my iPhone and I also tried restarting my iPhone while it was plugged in to my Mac. iTunes detects my phone and iPhoto even opens up once I plug my phone in but it still doesn't show up as a device. Does anyone have any possible solutions that doesn't involve restoring my phone? Please help!
Thank you for your time.

Have you already confirmed your Mac as a trusted device? Try this:
Lauch iTunes.
Connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Now try again to import.

Itunes won't detect my iphone, can't sync or back up my phone

After I have upgraded my itunes, it would no longer detect my iphone4S, so i took it to the apple store to test it and it worked.. but only not with my itunes at home. The staff recommended me to reinstall itunes, i did that but it's still not working.. If i uninstall itunes a pop up box will ask me if I want to completely delete itunes but if i select that, will i lose everything on my iphone?
I dont know what to do

My computer won't detect my iphone

It used to,but I don't know what happened that it doesn't any more.
I can charge my phone via USB but the computer can't detect it.
It's the latest iTunes and I already tried restarting phone and computer and reinstalling iTunes.

Hello, Tom.
I am not sure what computer operating system you are using so I will include both articles that walk you through what to do when iTunes does not recognize your device.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
With the article below for Windows, I would recommending starting with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > (Appropriate Windows OS) > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Windows won't recognize my iPhone, but recognizes someone else's. What do I do?

I plugged my iPhone in earlier tonight to sync and backup my phone before I did my upgrade. I had a ton of problems that I never had... was stuck still on step 2 after an hour. I kept getting out of iTunes and retrying, finally got to the last step and it was backing up my apps, but was stuck on one FOREVER. I got out. Finally updated iTunes, got back in, and now it wasn't even recognizing my device and iTunes immediately froze, twice. Restarted my computer. Restarted my iPhone. Tried to update drivers, but said I had the "best one" already installed. Did some windows wizard things that had me uninstall my USB drives, then restart to reinstall them. Nothing. Restored my computer to the point of before the iTunes update. Nothing. Restored back to 2 weeks ago. Still nothing. Keeps saying the USB Device Cannot be Recognized.
So I gave my husband my phone and asked him to plug it in on his computer. Nothing. He then plugged his phone in on his computer and it recognized it perfectly fine. So we know the cord works. I then took HIS iPhone and plugged it in to my computer and it recognized it... So we know my computer is fine. It's got to be my phone, but what? How? We both have 16gb iPhone 4's.
I don't have enough memory to do the upgrade so I need to move photos from my phone to my computer but I am so lost now as to what I should do. What could be wrong?

bump, someone please respond!!

Windows won't detect wi-fi; using Bootcamp?

Installed Windows 8.1, using Bootcamp. Cannot get Windows to connect ti internet through wi-fi or direct connection using lightening. Any ideas about how to get Windows to recognize my Mac Book Air (mid-2013) hardware would be appreciated.

If you have Auto-run enabled (not always a good idea though) it will still open to
/BootCamp folder with Apple Setup.exe to install the drivers and services to add compatibility.
I think Windows Update, esp. now with v. 7 RC1, it finds even 3rd party drivers for me and less trouble, something OS X doesn't provide.
But the step for inserting your DVD.... that is in the Boot Camp Guide and pdf.

ITunes 9.2 won't detect my iPhone 4 or my CD drive

I picked up an iPhone 4 today. When I connected it to my laptop, first my PC thought it was a camera which was nothing new. I changed the setting for the computer to do nothing when the iPhone is installed.
But then nothing else happened. The phone made a noise when I plugged it in and it's charging, but iTunes can't tell it is there.
I ran a diagnostic next. The network connectivity tests were all fine. The CD/DVD drive test failed. The device connectivity tests were fine except that it could not find the iPhone.
Is this happening to anyone else, and have you found a solution?

For anyone else having this issue on OS X this post will fix it.
