iTunes Version 12.13.7.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 11, but Windows 11 does.

iTunes 12.13.7.1 for Windows 11 doesn't recognize any of my mobile devices, but they appear connected to my devices in the 'This PC' folder.

I've already tried uninstalling the drivers and iTunes, but nothing works.

iPhone 11, iOS 18

ITunes has stopped syncing with IPhone since installing IOS 17 - Software Update is not available I have an IMac mid-2011 running El Capitan 10.11.6 and ITunes 12.8.2.3. IPhone 12 with IOS 17.0.3 I have always been able to sync with my IPhone, and use ITunes to manage a lot of music, audiobooks etc. Since the update to IOS 17, the IMac/Itunes no longer syncs. When the IPhone is connected to the Mac, an notification says an update is required. After a minute or two, the below appears. This has been the case for several weeks. I would like to update the IMac / ITunes to be able to recognise the IPhone. Is it likely that the software update will be available soon? Alternatively, I would like to know how else I can continue to manage my music and other media between the computer and phone?

Old iTunes 12.8.2.3 doesn't show iphone anymore after updating to iOS 17 I am running a very large iTunes library (12.8.2.3) on an old MacPro (Earl 2008) with El Capitan. Syncing iPhones and iPads from 1st generation up to very recent ones was no problem up to now. Now, after upgrading from iOS 16.7. to iOS /iPadOS 17.0.2, the devices doe not show up in iTunes anymore. They are recognized when plugged in, and transfer of pictures using image capture is possible - it just doesn't show up in iTunes. I worked through this (If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad:) and I tried to reinstall iTunes 11.8.2 while the iPhone was plugged in, but to no effect. Any ideas?

iTunes has stopped recognizing my devices I at one point had an issue where iTunes failed to recognize my devices when plugged in. I had to re-install Windows 11 due to unrelated issues and that appeared to fix the problem. Until today, when I go to plug in my phone after having just synced it, and it failed to recognize it. I tried my iPad, same result. The drivers are up to date, and I’m at an utter loss.
