When I plug in my iPad or iPhone (USB), iTunes frequently recognizes its presence. BUT, nearly as frequently, it doesn't seem to notice the device at all. Un-plugging and re-plugging does no good. The only thing that seems to help is quitting and then re-starting iTunes -- which I seem to need to do more and more often any more.

iPhoto, BTW, seems to always recognize that a new device is present.

Ideas?

  • Andrew: Yes, they do. But they only seem to be questioned on certain iOS upgrades, and not visibly when plugging in.

Apple has two articles to cover this - one for iTunes on Windows OS and the other for iTunes on Mac OS:

Both start with If your iPhone, iPad or iPod won't connect to iTunes on your PC, try the steps below. Just follow the guide for your OS and consider asking a follow-on question if you get stuck with a specific step. Be sure to list the versions of OS and iTunes in that post as those details will help us help you.
