iTunes could not connect to... iPhone because the device timed out.

I am given a message that says "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone “Xs iPhone” because the device timed out."

I use a usb cable to connect as always, but after updating to ios 7.0.2 on my iPhone and iTunes 11.1.1 somethings off!

I use a white iMac 10.7.5. iTunes 11.1.1. iPhone 4S 7.0.2.

I cannot update the iMac cause its to old. 10.7.5 is the latest op system.

Further more I cannot see/listen to my songs on my i devices, bought on my mac and vice versa via the cloud. Anybody?

Best,

Michael

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

I am experiencing the same as your first issue! I have a 5S with 7.0.2, iTunes 11.1.1 and I have tried it on two different PC's both with Windows 7. It is very annoying as I need to load some audio files onto my phone for work and it won't connect! Arghh!!

Somebody please help us!

Thanks

Just wanted to say here that power cycling my iPhone 6 64GB also resolved the "device timed out" issue.

Thanks!

I had the same message when I tried to set up my husbands iphone4 on iTunes. I did some research and finally figured out that I had to disable his passcode. After I disabled it, I was able to connect the phone to iTunes. I hope this helps.

I had same problem on PC. Tried a different USB port and it worked.
