iTunes won't connect to iPhone

By connecting your iPhone to iTunes, you can sync it there with all your data and create backups of your devices. This applies not only to your iPhone, but also to iPad and iPod. If your smartphone fails to connect to iTunes, it can be caused by several reasons.

What can you do if your iPhone fails to connect to iTunes?

There are several factors that can be the cause of the problem. Rule out possible errors step by step.

1. Check if your iTunes is on the latest version. An old version may no longer be compatible with your iOS.
2. Do you own an iPhone that is already a bit outdated? This can also lead to complications. This is because the focus is on the new versions of iPhones or iPads. Find out which iTunes version is best for your device.
3. Check all cables and connectors for functionality. Also, try connecting iPhone to a different USB port. Both the port and the connector on your smartphone may be defective.
4. Also check if your iOS device is unlocked. The home screen must be visible.
5. Look for the warning "Trust this computer?" on the smartphone. Bestätigen Sie diesen über „Vertrauen“.
6. Starten Sie das mobile Gerät und den PC neu.
7. Setzen Sie Ihr iPhone zurück und versuchen Sie die Koppelung erneut.
8. Schicken Sie Ihr Gerät im schlimmsten Fall ein und lassen Sie einen Techniker überprüfen, ob ein Defekt am iPhone vorliegt.
