I turn the question right back to you.
I have had iTunes on the same computer for 4 years to sync my Apple mobile devices.
There is an update for iTunes at least 4 times a year, that means I have updated iTunes a minimum of 16 times.
About two month ago during the lasted update, none of my Apple devices were recognized when I plugged them into my computer USB port.
I worked on this problem for weeks on end, using Apple support, it seems I was the only one with this problem after the latest iTunes update release. I even did a system restore and switched back to a previous versions of iTunes which use to work, but now that was not working as well and would not recognize and of my Apple mobile devices when plugged them into my computer.
I continued to Google for an answer by changing my search words around describing the problem different ways. Low and behold, there was only 1 other person with the same problem as me.
That person said it was a software bug and without going into details he stated, I would have to remove all my Apple software installed on my computer. iTunes, Quicktime, Apple mobile device server and more. And so I did, and when re-installing iTunes it automatically installed all the other software I had removed from my system.
Low and behold that did the trick. I lost no data in the process and now I am a happy camper. Why is it that only that guy and me were the only two I could find who had this problem?
Why is it that I have updated 16 times without having to go through all this uninstall crap?
I did not want to spend any more brain power on why it is like this, I already did that when trying to figure out how to correct this problem.
Want my advice, uninstall and re-install, or keep plugging away the hours figuring out why.
