Instead of 'Trust This Computer' phone now says 'Allow this device to access photos and videos' and will not sync with iTunes. Please help.

I think it was after latest update, I plugged my phone into my computer to back it up but nothing happened.


I updated the computer, I uninstalled iTunes, tried 3 different cables, all apple originals, but nothing!


Can't get the computer to recognise the phone, and puts up same message when plugged into different computer.

iPhone 5, iOS 9

Okay, I got it fixed thanks to Apple Support.


You need to to go your uninstall program and uninstall these items.


Itunes

Bonjour

Apple application support 32 bit

Apple application support 64 bit

Apple mobile device support


After these have been uninstalled, go to itunes.apple.com and re download Itunes.


After it was done downloading and installed, I was able to connect back to Itunes and sync my devices.

I had this same problem. To fix it do the following:


  1. Disconnect your phone from your computer.
  2. Go to the device manager in your computers control panel
  3. Uninstall your iPhone. It should be listed under portable devices. Just right click, then select uninstall.
  4. Re-connect your phone to your computer and the 'Trust this Computer' message should reappear.


Yay!!! Problem solved 🙂
