Without them, the iPhone or iPad will be suitable except for copying pictures on a PC. Use the "Fresh" version of iTunes. After installing iTunes and your gadget on a PC as a separate device restart Windows and install itools. There is a portable version of ITools that does not require installation.

Do not put on the official ITools website - do not own Chinese, confusing even more. Find the English or Russian version of ITools on third-party sites.

For example, the English version is taken. The program has become conditionally free (Shareware) - additional iTools features available for $ 20. However, the main functionality is quite sufficient - you can transfer music, video, applications, install games from Apple Game Center, create backup copies of user data and make a "rollback" of the iPhone. When starting, the ITools program issued a request to enter the activation key - if you do not have the key, click the Cancel button.

It is possible to delete any third-party application installed from the AppStore store directly with itools.

Setting the song as a call signal on the iPhone

You can import additional calling melodies to the IOS collection on a device that has a very limited set. From any iTools song can make "cutting" - and install it on the iPhone as a reality, recoding from MP3 to M4R format.

Access files and folders in iPhone memory with itools

One of the favorite lessons is to climb on the iPhone or iPad folders - it is not left aside.

Some iPhone system folders are still protected. This does not give access, for example, to the voice recorder recorded on the device. To open, you need to put the Apple Gadget Jailbreak and install a special tweak from the Cydia - Appsync (or similar) directory.

How to change the language from chinese into Russian in itools

The only advice dictated by common sense is to establish at least an English version! With her, you will quickly get comfortable than with Chinese.

Problems arising from ITools

Not everything is so smooth. There may be difficulties - for example, some files and folders are not displayed, the device is not detected by the computer and so on.

ITOOLS installation failed

  • The ITools Distribution File "Curve" (incorrect assembly of developers, or is damaged at all) or has an unknown format. The latter happens much less often than previous cases. Download the application from another source.
  • Too old version of Windows for the current version of the iTools application. Have you been updated or reinstalled Windows system?
  • Open connection when downloading the "source" ITOOLS. Restore the Internet connection, go back to the site where you downloaded - and throw these files again.

  • Windows system errors - for example, an error of any of the DLL libraries, infection or damage to system files. Check the Windows antivirus system, or run Windows Update from the installation disk or flash drive, with which this version of Windows last was installed. Try to download and copy system files with which this problem is observed - the system itself is usually indicated on errors.
  • The "brakes" of the PC due to viruses, the climbing system of Windows advertising and spyware software, frequent installation / removal of new programs. A common problem is the developed work of system processes responsible for good computer performance, somehow: svchost.exe, Superfetch technology, etc., which are components of Windows. To solve this problem, you will need a Windows distribution - from it and run recovery / updating system files, the vital operating system.
  • You have chosen the Chinese version of ITools - and confused the buttons on the screen, not knowing their location in the English version of the ITools installer, pressed the wrong place. Do not use the Chinese version, not knowing the Chinese himself.

Failure to install iTunes due to Windows Installer failures

Among the sudden causes of ITools failure at the installation stage, the Windows Installer component (Windows Installer) may be improper. To try to figure out, do the following.

  1. Open the Windows Service application. To do this, give the Start command to execute, enter the Services.msc.
  2. Run the built-in "Windows service" component.
  3. Specify from which other services the Windows Installer service depends, opening its properties, check its settings.
  4. Try to run it by clicking on the start button. If the service starts - stop it. This is a check of her work. Click on the "Dependencies" tab.
  5. Similarly, check out the operation of other Windows services from the list - for example, the "Remote Calling Procedure" component - they control the work of the installer. Find out their purpose - it may come in handy when solving problems with installing not only itools.

This advice can be useful if all previous decisions are nevertheless not worked.

The computer did not find the iPhone

Causes may be as follows.

  • Apple Drivers Installation Error When installing iTunes. Download a more recent version of iTunes.
  • Driver error "root USB hub. A very rare error. It occurs when installing "custom" Windows assemblies. This driver is a Windows component.
  • USB port error to which you have connected your iPhone or iPad. Connect to another port. If the port turned out to be damaged - contact your nearest computer service center.
  • One of your PC chipset drivers is not installed. Also a very rare error. Reinstall this driver using the installation disk, which is included in the package of your PC, or refer to the site to the manufacturer of your computer.
  • Damaged USB cable. Restore the break, remove the internal closure of any cable wires, or replace the cable if the insulation is broken or the USB plug or the gadget interface plug is damaged.

  • Damaged interface device connector. Contact Apple specialists - to the IStore service center or similar to replace this connector.

Some folders in iTunes are not displayed.

So, the Apple gadget is visible - but it is impossible to open his folders. Reasons for the following.

Remember: in iBooks. always Opened EPUB format files. If the e-book is already downloaded to the PC, then you need to go to the same tab "IBOOKS" and drag the file. After a few seconds you will find it on my device!

Many users of Apple products are familiar with such software as iTools, which is a powerful functional alternative to the iTunes mediacombine. In this article, we will talk about the problem when ITools does not see the iPhone.

itools is a popular program for working with Apple gadgets on a computer. This program allows you to complete a comprehensive music copying, photo and video, can record video from the screen of the smartphone (tablet), create ringtones and instantly transfer them to the device, optimize the memory by removing cache, cookies and other garbage and much more.

Unfortunately, the desire to use the program will not always be crowned with success - your apple device can simply be detected by the program. Today we will look at the main causes of this problem.

Cause 1: On the computer installed an outdated version of iTunes or this program is not at all

In order for the iTools program to work correctly, it is necessary that iTunes program can also be installed on the computer, and it is not necessary that the iTunes program be launched.

To check the updates for iTunes, run the program, click on the top area of \u200b\u200bthe window by the button. "Reference" And open the section "Updates" .

The system will start checking for updates. If current updates for iTunes are detected, you will be asked to install them.

If you have an installed iTunes program on your computer, then you will definitely download it and install it on this link from the developer's official website, since it cannot function without it without it.

Reason 2: Outdated ITools version

Since ITOOLS works in a bundle with iTunes, the iTools program must also be updated to the latest version.

Try to fully reinstall itools, deleting a program from a computer, and then downloading the latest version from the developer's official site.

To do this, open the menu "Control Panel" , set the viewing mode "Small badges" and then open the section "Programs and Components" .

In the window that opens, find in the list of installed iTools software, right-click on it and select the item in the displayed context menu. "Delete" . Complete the removal of the program.

When the removal of iTools is certified, you will need to download the latest version of the program from the developer's official site. To do this, go through this link and download the program.

Run the downloaded distribution and run the program to the computer.

Cause 3: System Failure

To exclude the problem of incorrect computer or iPhone, restart each of these devices.

Cause 4: non-original or damaged cable

Many Apple products often refuse to work with non-original accessories, in particular, cables.

This is due to the fact that such cables can give jumps in voltage, and therefore can easily display the device.

If you use a non-original cable to a computer to connect, we recommend that you replace it with the original and repeat the iTools iTools connection attempt.

The same applies to damaged original cables, for example, there are bending or oxidation. In this case, it is also recommended to replace the cable.

Cause 5: The device does not trust the computer

If you connect the iPhone to a computer for the first time, so that the computer can access the smartphone data, you need to unlock the iPhone using the password or Touch ID, after which the device will ask the question: "Trust this computer?". Having answered positively, the iPhone should be displayed in itools.

Cause 6: Jailbreak Installed

For many users hacking the device - this is the only way to get the functions that Apple in the foreseeable future is not going to add.

But precisely because of the Jailbreack your device and may not be recognized in itools. If there is such an opportunity, make a fresh backup in iTunes, restore the device to the initial state, and then restore from the backup. This method will remove the JailBreack, but the device will certainly work correctly.

Cause 7: Drivers failure

The final way to solve the problem, which is to reinstall the drivers for the connected Apple device.


As a rule, these are the main reasons that can provoke the inoperability of the iPhone in the ITOOLS program. We hope this article helped you. If you have your own ways to eliminate the problem, tell us about them in the comments.
