My iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to my computer

When I plug in my iphone to my computer it is not appearing in itunes.
I can see in my computer that the phone is connected and photos can be browsed through MyComputer so the cable is making the connection.
any ideas?

Hey dalustig59,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone being recognized in iTunes. The following resources may provide a solution:

  • Iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to XP computer

    I have the latest version of itunes and iphone software. When I connect my iphone 3GS through a USB to my computer (windows XP), the computer recognises the device as a hard drive in "my computer" and I can import photos. However Itunes when opened up no longer recognises the phone and so I cannot sync or set parameters etc. This has happened with my childrens ipods as well on a different XP computer. I have used several usb leads but same problem. Any ideas? Many thanks.  Mark

    Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

  • IPhone does not appear in iTunes when connected

    After installing new iTunes update, my phone is no longer recognized when I attempt to sync and has been running very very low lately.  HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418 is the link, but I will recap it here:
    Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
    Connect iPhone
    Open Control Panel
    double click on System
    choose Hardware tab
    click Device Manager
    find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
    right click iPhone
    choose Properties
    click driver tab
    choose Update Driver
    select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
    choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
    there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
    click ok
    iPhone should now connect
    close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
    open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
    You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
    Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone5 no longer shows up as a device on my computer when I plug it in to a USB port on my laptop.  It does not appear in iTunes as connected, either.

    My iphone5 no longer shows up as a device on my computer when I plug it in to a USB port on my laptop.  It does not appear in iTunes as connected, either.  It does show that it is connected and charging on the phone itself.  This is a new problem.  It used to work just fine.

    Hi Why do you need to use a PC since iOS 7 you can download updates Apps everything Over wifi I have iPhone 5 s & 2 ipads in over a year I have never connected them to My Apple pc Try a wifi update If you have problems Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both Down until You see Apple Logo you will not last any data.

  • Iphone does not appear in itunes. _ALL_ recommended steps were taken to no avail

    I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit, itunes 10.3.1.  I have an iphone 3gs running ios v. 4.3.3.  All software and drivers are up-to-date on my computer.
    When I open itunes and plug in my iphone, itunes hangs for roughly two solid minutes.  After which, my iphone does not appear in itunes.  The same thing happens if I reverse the order and plug in my iphone before opening itunes.
    I have read and followed all and I mean all the instructions in multiple articles on the apple support site to try and resolve the issue, and nothing has fixed the problem.  My impression is that this is a bug in the latest itunes release since the problem started after updating to the latest version of itunes and did not occur previously.  Nothing else changed with either my computer or my iphone since then.  In all other ways, my computer, all USB devices connected to it, and all other software installed on it function perfectly.
    Here are the things I have done that DO NOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM:
    - restart apple mobile device service and verify it is configured correctly
    - restart ipod service and verify it is configured correctly
    - restart my computer
    - reset my iphone
    - verify that my USB drivers are up-to-date and all USB ports are functioning correctly
    - verify that my iphone DOES correctly appear in windows explorer and the device manager
    - verify that my security software (norton 360) is updated to the latest version
    For the record I am not running any third-party phone software.
    Here is the only thing I have found that works, however, it works ONLY for the first time I open itunes afterwards.  After syncing ONE TIME, the next time I open itunes, the problem comes back exactly like before.
    - completely uninstall, and then reinstall all apple software in precise accordance with instructions given on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    I honestly don't expect anyone to have a solution to this issue, but I will be thrilled if there is one.  I am posting primarily to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, and hopefully to gain the attention of a developer who can hopefully institute a fix.

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • IPhone Does Not Appear in iTunes

    Hi! My iPhone 3GS does not appear in iTunes. It is recognised by Windows. It is recognised by iTunes in my desktop PC, but the problem is when I use my Samsung NC10 portable notebook.
    I am using Windows XP Home, version 2002, with SP3.
    iTunes is version 9.2.0.61
    So far I have followed suggestions in:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    including re-installing iTunes, resetting iPhone, checking that required services are running, stopping & starting services. I have used msconfig to see if I couls identify any conflicts but no success.
    I used iTunes diagnostics, and it answered "no iPhone, iPad, iPod found"
    I DO get an error when I start iTunes:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install iTunes" However, the Samsung NC10 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I am assuming this is the cause of this error.

  • Downloaded audio book on my iphone does not appear in itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

    Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

    You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer
