IPhone 5 does not show up as a device in iTunes

My new iPhone was showing up in iTunes but in the last few days it is no longer show up in devices.  It does show up in Computer (running Vista) as a device attached via USB.  I've used the troubleshooting information provided by Apple but it is still not being recognized.  The auto play feature starts when connected almost as if it is being recognized as a camera but it never shows up in iTunes.  I've run the iTunes diagnostic and it says no device is connected.  This is very frustrating so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

When you say you have used troubleshooting provided by Apple, have you tried to remove and reinstall iTunes? Do so by following this support document to the letter http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. Then connect the phone, it should be recognized by Windows, install the necessary drivers and work. The phone will only activate auto play when there are pictures in the camera roll, that is why it appears like a digital camera.

    Hi, cdv2007. 
    Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps I would recommend going through when your device is not recognized on a Mac. 
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

    My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer  my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

    The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

    Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software. 
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
    Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

  • IPhone does not show up as device, unless.....

    My iPhone often does not show up as a device in iTunes (Mac version) unless I turn wifi off, then back on.  When I do this, he iPhone appears as a device.  My iPad always shows up as a device.  It's only the iPhone that's a problem. 

    Occassionally if a picture is saved from an email, an MMS or copied from a website, it has had the tendency to create an error when trying to import the pictures from the camera roll. If that is the case on phone "B", then it is suggested that you email the offfending photos and then delete them from the camera roll. Once that is done, most will then appear in Windows. Not sure if this is the case for you, but that is generally the first fix.
