iPhone won't sync with iTunes after iOS 10 update - September 2016

What if my Mac cannot find iTunes 12.5.1 every time I ask for an update?

Apple is probably trying to force us to buy new hardware!!!

I had to use Google photos software to free up my iPhone photo storage space. Maybe it's time to move to Google products if Apple continues to force hardware updates when their software updates render our hardware obsolete!

Hi, I've had the same problem, been troubleshooting for quite some time now and I found out that if i close itunes on my windows 11 computer, stick my iphone in while itunes is still closed, itunes will open and sync like it would normally do. Hope this helps everybody at least as long as there is no fix.

After upgrading my iPhone 6plus to iOS 10.1, my MacBook Pro running Mavericks can recognize my iPhone. The problem is that I sync my phone with my Macpro 1,1 running OSX 10.7.5 Lion.

Not only would it no longer sync with iTunes (which will only update to iTunes 12.1) it would not communicate with my Macpro AT ALL. To download images/videos from my phone using Images app on the computer no longer worked. It wouldn't event recognize the phone.

Luckily I was able to downgrade back to iOS 9... No my phone communicates with my MacPro again.

I keep getting the notifications to update. And I keep deleting the update. And it keeps coming back. But I WILL NOT update until I can figure out how to make it work with my Macpro Tower.

Complete bull crap!!!

That would be good if my MacBook wasn't a old one because it

How my iPhone won't let me

I also thought about going back to iOS 9, but I'm a bit afraid that I may have a problem finding a backup.

Sadly I have to report that iOS 10.2 does not fix the problem at all.

I am ****** crazy about it!!

I bought 3 days ago, an IPhone 6s for my wife, when I go to start to use and do a restore from the iPhone 4 , iTunes doesn't recognized!!

But, my iPhone 6s Plus, was ok , and was updated to iOS 10.2, I was able to backup, Edit playlists... everything, but... when I tried to connect the iPhone 6s Brand new, iTunes didnt recognize , and when I tried the iPhone 6s Plus , it didn't recognize too , since it I never connected with iTunes anymore!!! Very ******!!!

Apple support says that I will have to update iTunes but it isn't possible, because my Mac Pro only supports 10.7.5 which works with itunes 12.2

I have the same problem - an old Macbook that cannot take any more upgrades and iTunes v12.2. Clearly Apple is aware of this situation and they choose not to address it. The last thing I will do i buy another Apple product if they dont fix this. They should have warned us that upgrading iOS would prevent use of early versions of iTunes.

in the meantime I am exploring other more customer friendly music services that can replace iTunes.

Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave at what this company has turned into.

Hello. I am curious if you lost anything off of your computer and how exactly do I update my Mac to the El Capitan? It sounds like you have the exact setup and then the same problem after upgrading my phone. I used to just plug in and connect to iphoto and itunes and now neither will work. I would gladly update my Mac just want to make sure I can and won't lose my photos. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ever resolve this issue? This is my exact issue. I can't update ITunes pass 12.2.2 because my mac is "old" and I'm stuck.

Hi, no I didn't , I had to update Osx to Yousemite, in newest mac pro! The old one don't connect with itunes!

Do you have the link cause I really need to sync my iPhone. Thanks

Yes upgrade to El Capitan it works
