ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone when I plug it in the computer. I get error messages saying such. Half the time I plug iTunes freezes. Every time it freezes the iPhone icon appears as it usually does when I plug in. The other half of the time the icon does not appear and nothing happens when I plug in but this does not result in a freeze. I have all current updates and am on 11.2.1
iOS 11.2.1
I have the same problem, except that I don't get an error message. I went on a trip without my laptop and when I returned, I tried syncing my iPhone 6 plus to iTunes on my laptop to no avail. Before I left, I had no problem. iTunes would start up as soon as I connected my phone and syncing started right away. Now, nothing happens. When I start up iTunes, my phone isn't connected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes on my laptop. Not successful.
I updated to a new computer and iTunes no longer recognized my iPhone. I was advised to update the Apple mobile device driver and did so. My iPhone is now recognized and iTunes will backup my phone but the options to sync calendar, contacts, music etc. are no longer available. Any suggestions?
I tried to update the Apple mobile device USB driver as follows: Going to Device Manager, I found Apple iPhone listed under Portable Devices. I clicked on properties, then the driver tab and selected Update Driver. I clicked on Select automatically for updated driver and Windows searched and concluded that I already had an updated driver. However, iTunes still doesn't recognize my iPhone. Any other suggestions?
Try updating the Apple Mobile Device USB driver.
