If iTunes doesn‘t recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - https://support.apple.com/HT204095


Device not listed immediately after upgrade - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6573744 - try restarting


Check you are using the original or Apple replacement cord. Not all brand cords transmit data.

New phone not recognized when given exactly the same name as old phone. - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6577994?answerId=26760759022#26760759022 - delete all backups from old phone.


Device not recognized because of cable issue (although user initially assured it was a good cable) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6912051?answerId=28002758022#28002758022


Is this the original Apple cable? Some third party cables only transfer power and no data signal.
