Why does iTunes not recognize my Iphone 5?

My phone has stuff on it already and is already set up. But when i plug in my iphone, a screen pops ups and gives me two options: set up as new iphone or restore from ipod backup. How do i just keep what i have on it now and not have to restore an ipod backup or start as a whole new phone?

Since you have been given these two options, you may have only have these two options by using iTunes. Buy you can use Syncios, a freeware which can keep what you have on iPhone and can also help you import and export informations like songs, videos and others freely.

  • Will iTunes recognize my iPhone 5 from a iPhone 4 adapter? I want to know if that iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 adapter will work when I go to plug it into my computer to put songs only phone?
  • Why won't my iTunes recognize my iPhone 5c anymore? My iTunes used to always recognize my iPhone, even my laptop right away had something pop up for it when I plugged it in. My brother recently got a new iPhone so he signed into his iTunes and ever since nothing happens when I plug my phone in besides charge it, same for my brother. Is it because he signed in or also because I just updated iTunes? I've tried restarting both my iPhone and laptop.
  • Updated iTunes and now does not recognize my iPhone? A day or two ago I was prompted to update iTunes which I did. Now when I plug my iPhone into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it. How do I fix? Computer does recognize my iPhone. (Trying to copy a photo from my computer onto my iPhone and instructions I googled said to use iTunes)
  • Itunes won't Recognize my new Iphone 4? I currently have a 3GS and i bought a brand new 4 from AT&T. Itunes won't recognize the new phone but still sees my old one. I have tried everything on the apple support site, reinstalled iTunes, and checked the Apple Mobile Support driver or whatever under services. I'm using windows 7 and my iTunes is the most current one available. What can I do?
