ITunes won't show either of my iPhone's
Don't know what to do. I think I've tried to do a reset, but seems this may be more of an iTunes issue as I don't think both phones would need to do a restore. Any suggestions of where to start? I downloaded a song on iTunes this morning and ever since then, it won't read the iPhone.

HELP! iTunes won't show iPhoto when syncing iPhone 6
PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw... -

ITunes won't show my iPhone as a connected device
Had an issue with my phone, when syncing files would appear on my phone but not actually be able to play so i deleted all the files off of my phone and started following trouble shooting steps however now iTunes won't show my device as connected however it is charging and my computer has recognized it as being plugged in. I have also tried syncing over wi-fi but it doesnt give me the option to and the 'sync now' button is greyed out. Any help would be much appreciated as i listen to music about 5 hours a day on my iPhone.
Hi there mead266,
If I understand correctly your phone is not being seen in iTunes but otherwise your computer does detect that it is plugged in. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about thisiTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability. -
My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

ITunes won't show iOS 5 update
My iTunes won't show the iOs 5 update. I hook up and synch my 3rd gen. Touch, but whenever I click on "Check for Update" it just tells me that I have the current version (4.2.1). I updated my iTunes to 10.5, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
The best thing I can say is make sure you are connected to the Internet and try disabling any security software.

ITunes won't show shared libraries nor will it show iPhone as a device
This is baffling me and I would welcome some assistance. ITunes doesn't show any Shared Libraries/Devices
1. iTunes will not show 2 shared libraries that can be seen by another computer (PC) running iTunes on the same home network
2. Using my iPhone I cannot get the Remote app to work; iTunes doesn't seem to recognise my iPhone, although they are both on the same network (verified)
3. When running 'Bonjour Browser' I can't locate "cciphonethings.tcp" as per the 'Things' support site for iPhone/iMac sync
4. iTunes will sync OK with my iPhone when I place the iPhone in it's cradle
I've followed the advice in Apple support and also followed the checks suggested by the Things support site. I've also reinstalled iTunes. No change.
Thanks in advance.
Mark
iMac OSX 10.6.2, iPhone 3.1.2, Linksys WAG160NHi,
To answer your question, the cpu speed is 550MHz.
Thought so. It seems like PowerBooks from about that era (550, 667) are the most likely to have this problem. I've never seen any definitive explanation, though. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's a combination of hardware and software and how iTunes interacts with the CD drive.
One thing you could do is send a bug report to Apple via their online form.
best,

ITunes won't show my iPhone backup file
I was trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 (GSM) to iOS 5.0 GM, so I updated my iTunes and everything, BLAH BLAH BLAH!
All of a sudden, my backup that I made earlier didn't appear in the Devices tab in iTunes Preferences. It's still in the Mobile Sync folder, everything there, but for some reason iTunes won't recognize it, so I can't restore all of my contacts, photos and such to my iPhone. PLEASE HELP!!!!did you ever get it resolved, i am having same issue?

Itunes won't show iphone in the source list, other problems too
Hi, I am having 3 huge problems with my iTunes.
First, when I plug my iphone in, it charges and the computer recognizes it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also, it for some reason starts on itunes store, every time. I want it to start on the music list like it used to.
Last, it constantly freezes whenever I close a window leaving itunes behind it. So I can't have more than one window open when using it.
I first uninstalled itunes completely, then installed the newest version, then updated my drivers. I have done everything on this list:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
Here are my computer details:
Manufacturer: Lenovo
Model: 94577hu
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
CPU/Ram: 1.828 GHz / 502 MB
Video Card: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
Sound Card: SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio
I have no idea what to do now, please help!I am by no means an expert on iPhone issues but I recall reading some cables transfer power and others carry data too, and this may be device specific. I suspect your third party device is designed to simply transfer power. If it is as you say the issue is one of re-activating Home Sharing and it has to be connected by a data cable then you may be left without solutions unless you subscribe to iTunes Match (in which case you can afford to buy another cable ).
