My iPhone 5 is not being recognized as a managed device in itunes.

When I switched to the iPhone 5 I already had 5 managed deviecs listed in itunes. I went to remove one of the devices but now I cant get my iPhone 5 to show as a managed device. Because of this i show purchased songs on my iPhone but i cant play them. How do I fix this?

If you are current.y running iTunes 11 - perhaps you can't see the device becuse the sidebar isn't visible. If that is the case, Go to the menu at the top of the screen - View>Show Sidebar. When the sidebar appears, you should see your iPad under the devices heading.
If it still isn't showing, quit iTunes, reboot your iPad and restart your computer and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to produce the desired results, try here ... Assuming that you are Windows....

TS1538 My iphone is not being recognized by iTunes.

The computer is "seeing" the phone, but nothing is coming up in iTunes. I have a 2nd iphone that is being recognized. I have another computer, rebooted, reinstalled, and tried holding the home button as I plugged in the usb cable. I went to do a restore and ever since the phone says to connect to itunes and then is not seen by itunes. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Follow up...took it to the Apple store and they were able to get it to connect to iTunes...go figure!

IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here. I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck. I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks!

In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
So give it a try.

Iphone 4 not being recognized with the extension cable

My Iphone 4 is not being recognized with the Apple extension cable in my new Nissan Juke so the phone has to be kept in the glovebox due to the very short cable Nissan provides. This is frustrating since the phone gets noticeably worse reception in the glovebox. Does anyone know of a fix for this so I can run a longer cable extension and run the phone out of the glovebox? Mabye a different extension cable or longer cable that works with Nissan's set up?

I don't think it is the cable. I have tried plugging the cable into the USB cable that came with the phone and the extension cable works fine with it. I guess this really is just some screwy stuff with Nissan.

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

Ipod shuffle (2nd Generation) is not being recognized by my MacBook Pro or itunes:

I was recently given my friends old ipod shuffle, but it is not being recognized by my computer at all, is there something that I can do?

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
Have you worked through all the sugguestions here as necessary?

Hi, Skyburper,
Thank you for your report.
Congratulations for all your initiative, all of those steps were pefect to solve this issue. Well you can try another one ( unstalled and installing itunes on windows 7 ). Also you can try to change the usbs ports on your computer and the usb cable too. In case it do not solve your issue try another computer maybe there is a software on you computer that do not work with apple software.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day .

My iPhone is not being recognized under "My Computer"

When I first got my iPhone, I had a Dell. So I synced my phone to that computer. I just got a new iMac, and have switched everything over. My iPod shows up under "My Computer," but my iPhone doesn't. And I first synced my iPod to the Dell. I've been able to sync my phone and my iPod in iTunes and transfer pictures from my phone to my computer with relative ease. I've restarted and reset my phone, but it still does not show up under "My Computer." Do I need to contact Apple Support or is there something else I can do? Or is this really not something to be concerned with?

Hey I need some help please. I just downloaded iTunes 8 and signed up for MobileMe. After doing this I was trying to sync my iPhone in iTunes so I could get the MobileMe app on my phone. However, now my phone isn't being recognized in iTunes. I've tried all the suggestions on the support page except reinstalling iTunes because I'm concerned about losing my music files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.11)

IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results.
