iTunes won't find iPhone 6

I plug my iPhone 6 in my computer Windows 10, the phone starts to load and I can access photos and videos of the phone on the computer, but the phone does not appear in iTunes, under devices.  My computer, iTunes and my iPhone are fully updated.  I synced my phone to iTunes last January 24, successfully tried on 8 February, and that's when I noticed the problem.  I tried several ways, which are posted here to fix and none of them worked.

Try the following:

  1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
  2. Plug in your device
  3. Locate Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
    It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
  4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
  5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
  6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
  7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
  8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
  9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

Or try the iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • iTunes can usually find cover to import the CD

    Nowadays, most of the time when I import a CD (a CD published regularly a standard music label) in iTunes for Windows, iTunes can't find the album art. But Windows Media Player can. Looks like Apple iTunes is faulty (or Apple lost out on a license agreement with a provider of music information). iTunes has been much better to find album artwork. But not now.

    I have even upgraded to the latest version of iTunes for Windows offered, v 12.4.2.4 to see if the problem has been resolved, but nothing has changed.

    It is problematic that I must have a share entire library of music and the iTunes app to control the library in order to support the 3 players iPod I, when the majority of readers of music I play standard MP3 music and get music in the cloud or sync drag / drop with my PC. And now that my music library has exceeded my iPod nano, it's such a pain to change the music on this device... solution of the Apple store was buy a bigger iPod. No thanks.

    Hmm, Apple won't let me post my topic as originally written, I got one you are not allowed to create or update this content error.

    And now that my music library has exceeded my iPod nano, it's such a pain to change the music on this device

    Almost all the library world is bigger that a Nano will hold.   If you use automatic synchronization, it is very easy to change the music.  Simply use the option "... selected playlists." "(pictured below) to synchronize a subset of your music for the Nano.

  • I have itunes store on my iphone but I can't listen to my music in itunes. where is he?

    Hello I have an Iphone 5 using ios 9.2.1. I hate to ask a stupid question, but it's so frustrating. I see the ITunes Store on my iphone, but not an app called "ITunes". Is it the same thing? I also have an icon for 'music '. I don't want apple's music, but whenever I press the icon 'music' an announcement opens asking if I want to buy music from Apple.

    I was finally able to find some of the music I had downloaded on my iphone - through the ITunes store, but I didn't know how to play on my radio except for the selection of a song at a time, repeating itself until what I chose another song. If you can help, please tell me what I'm doing wrong!

    The app to play music is called music. It can be found on the home screen, or could be in a separate folder. If you see the screen for the Apple's music, you must tap on the link for "Go to My Music".

    I understand that you are wanting to fill your iPhone with music, but always leave space. Back on what are your options for this.

    All having an option to auto-fill for your iPhone is not available, you have the option to manually manage music. This means that you can drag and drop the music you want on your iPhone. With this option, you will see the use to change and can stop it when you feel you have enough storage to the left. Take a look at the article below for more details.

  • iTunes for iPad and iPhone PC backups 12.3 disappeared

    I am running Windows 10 and iTunes 12.3 and have several previous backups of iPhones and iPads, with which I've never had a problem (well, there is always a problem, but not this one). Now iTunes can't find backups. They are in the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup (about 10 of them), but the iTunes preferences > devices shows no backup on this computer. Why does iTunes pick this up? And why I can't navigate for them? (Duh... iTunes does not allow to browse your computer for backups. It's only for 12 years).

    In addition, I did a backup of my computer, and the 'Back Up Now' and 'Restore backup' grayed out and the ' last backup: "said"your iPad has ever been saved on this computer. The backup is displayed in the folder above subsequently, but it does not save iTunes. I closed iTunes and rebooted. Still no backup device in the devices. And he always says "your iPad has never been saved on this computer", but it is nice enough to ask me if I want to make a backup. NO! I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BACKUP! I JUST want TO HAVE ACCESS to THAT I just HAVE to!

    I got since 4 iPhones and iTunes since the same time, and I've done several times. There has ALWAYS been some kind of problem. I've always hated this program, but you need if you want to get your Apple devices on your computer.

    I think that iTunes would let you to browse for a backup. I use this program because I have to. Apple backups aren't really backups. iTunes backup of the operating system and applications (not all), but that's all. For me the backup is just that: a BACKUP. This means I save all THE data (or at least what I chose).

    Whenever I have back up and restore my Apple devices, I make sure that I export all data from all applications (in other words, if they allow it even and not more) or I have to re - download all my data or books, songs, PDF files and whether, from the original place where I have purchased or downloaded. That means free books don't get supported.

    I'm aware that I'm ranting, but I've always been frustrated by iTunes, because she is very small and has always been problematic. It is designed only to "purchases" commercial from Apple or other (perhaps) or for other commercial stuff, but never for your own personal use and I have a lot of personal data on my devices. iTunes DOESN'T backup the personal data. Of course, the program is free and a better program costs money, but even Windows provides a method for backing up my computer and I can back up everything of him, not only what Apple thinks is necessary.

    If they have backed up everything on your backup device would take ages - I have a 128 GB iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad mini - cannot afford to have three back ups of around this waist sitting on my PC.  Regarding the Apps it back to the top of such things when you are in a game and your scores, but not the actual application (I noticed when I got my last iPhone Apps that worked on that I had and put back them on the camera, but they picked up my library, not from the back to the top).

    You're not back up your iTunes library on the computer to make it there if necessary?  I do not use the cloud at all, I am doing everything via my PC (and have my laptop set in place with the same data backup in case of failure of the computer).  As we don't always have access to be able to download things if a device does not work (when ago far often data signal is very weak) I have never counted on the cloud even though I know that it suits a lot of people to use it.  Once the data is on my PC I have backup on an external hard drive.

    By doing this you don't have to re - download anything, you simply drag and drop the back on your device.

    Can't help with the unavailability of your inverter, but have you rebooted the iPad as it seems that your computer is not recognized among you have used before?

  • iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010

    iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010 because microsoft add Skype. iTunes syncs only Skype contacts. I don't use Skype don't have contacts in the Skype contacts folder. Cannot add contacts. Don't care about Skype. I want Apple to fix this synchronization with Outlook.

    It worked for me with an iPhone 6s.

    MOVE SEVERAL OUTLOOK 2010 CONTACTS FOR iPHONE

    Step 1: In Outlook, create the vcf files (Variant call Format), which are text files also known as the digital business cards and send them to your own e-mail address. To do this, select all the Outlook contacts you want, right-click on it and select 'Front Contact' sharing group, and then select "as a calling card."

    Step 2: Outlook will create cards individual vcf for each of your contacts as attachments to an email.  Send plain text (select on the Format Text tab), otherwise the iPhone Notes contacts section will contain unwanted formatting.  Send e-mail and files to your own e-mail address.

    Step 3: Create a folder to contain the individual vcf files, for example c:\vcfcards.

    Step 4: Open the e-mail you sent to yourself in Outlook and save all the vcf attached files in the c:\vcfcards folder (file, save attachments, OK, select the vcfcards folder, do not enter a file name).

    Step 5: Now open the command prompt window (in Windows 10 right click Start, and then select command prompt).

    Step 6: At the command prompt, type cd c:\vcfcards.  Press ENTER to continue. Your command prompt is now moved to the vcfcards folder.

    Step 7: Now merge the multiple vcf files in the vcfcards file in a single vcf file.
    At the command prompt, type: copy /a *.vcf c:\all.vcf and then press ENTER.

    Step 8: Create another e-mail and join the newly created file all.vcf.
    Send e-mail to your address (if Outlook is set to download files from the server immediately, close Outlook after the email is sent, thereby ensuring that the email will arrive on the cell phone).

    Step 9: Get your iPhone and read the e-mail from there.
    Open the vcf file you created and attached to the email and press Add all Contacts.

    If there are several groups of contacts in Outlook, the process can be repeated for each group.  File names above could be changed to reflect the group names.  However, it will be a group merged on the iPhone.

  • Unable to download iOS 9.1 iTunes to restore my iPhone 6 s

    Hello

    Now, I tried to download iTunes 9.1 12.3.1 iOS software twice and failed. It's almost done, and then I get an error message. And then I have to restart the whole download of 2GB. It's particularly frustrating because I have a slow internet connection. Is it possible to continue this download where it was. I need it to restore my iPhone 6 s as it has been disabled

    Hi sahil.s,

    The resources below will provide some troubleshooting steps if your iPhone has been disabled.   If there is an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider near you, they would have a fast internet speed and may be able to help.

    If you have forgotten the password for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204306

    If you enter the wrong password to an iOS device six times in a row, you will be locked out and a message that says that your device is turned off.

    Choose a way to erase your device

    Unless you make a backup before that you forgot your password, there is not a way to record the data on your device. You will need to erase your device, which erases all your data and settings. Choose a way to erase:

    • If you have synced with iTunes, use iTunes.
    • If you are connected to iCloud and Find My iPhone is enabled, use iCloud.
    • If you do not use iCloud and you cannot synchronize or connect with iTunes, use the recovery mode.

    Erase your device with the recovery mode

    If you have never synchronized with iTunes or configure find my iPhone on iCloud, you will need to use the recovery mode to restore your device. This will destroy the device and an access code.

    1. Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Store or Apple authorized service provider.
    2. When your device is connected, force restart it: press and hold buttons sleep/wake and Home at the same time. Do not let go when you see the Apple logo - keep pressed until you see on the screen in recovery mode.

    3. When you see the option restore or put to update, choose restore.


      iTunes will download software for your device. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your device will exit Recovery mode and you need to repeat steps 2 and 3.

    4. Until the end of the process. Then, you can Configure and use your device.

    Take care

  • iTunes can't find my music more

    A previous version of iTunes apparently added that the chain of file://localhost/ to the path and now iTunes can't find music more. How can I fix the path for all of my songs without having to change each of them? I already copied the folder back entire iTunes Media from the NAS to a local drive (because I suspect that this is the underlying problem for iTunes) but this does not alter the path information. All the music is now stored on a local disk, but iTunes brand each song with an exclamation point.

    The problem of 'missing file' with exclamation points occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

    Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl-I to get information, then click on no when asked to try to locate the runway. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music folder in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

    In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, or during playback of a track, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. Then, it can offer try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works. It may need some adjustments if your media is in a non-standard layout.

    If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

    1. The location of the media under Edition folder > Preferences > advanced
    2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location that begins file://localhost/
    3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details

    Note the addition of file://localhost/ and the reverse slashes (Windows only) is normal for a file that is not quite where iTunes is expected to find.

  • After restoring my computer and iTunes download, iTunes can not find my my music files.  They have to be in the specific format or a folder iTunes for a recognized?

    I had to restore my computer from the ground upward.  I save my music files and then reloaded after the system restore.  Then, I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  But apparently iTunes can't find my music restored files.  I use a 10 newly installed Windows.  Y at - it a particular format to place the music files should be put in order for iTunes to see.  Or maybe a procedure that I did not follow properly.  Please notify.  Thank you.

    If you have registered to the iTunes library database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key is pressed and choose this library. If this isn't the case, slide the song files into the application window open iTunes or add it automatically in the iTunes folder.
