My Iphone doesn't appear in Itunes when?

My Iphone doesn't appear or connect to Itunes?
I restarted my Iphone as the support page recommended, but my Iphone just appeared for a few seconds before it disappeared.
I have updated to the latest version of Itunes and IOS and Itunes is running on a Macbook Air, so the problem is not related to windows.
I can’t find any further help at the support-page, can anybody help me?

Did you try recovery mode?

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes - tried everything

    Hi there,
    ok, my 3G iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes!!! I have tried reinstalling iTunes, removing the AppleMobileDevice extension, numerous restarts, hard reset the phone a couple of times. I deleted a podcast I tried to download over the air, deauthorised and authorised my iMac. Nothing!
    Any other ideas. My phone does appear in iPhoto when opened. I am really lost now. I did change my AppleID recently, is that it?
    Please help. I am going to try another Mac this lunch time, see if that helps. Perhaps its the phone?
    Thanks!!

    Yahooo! Its fixed. At the direction of an iPhone Developer (thanks to Steve Troughton-Smith!) I installed (or possibly reinstalled) iPhoneSystemComponents.pkg and now I can sync and so on!

  • I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

    My Ipod touch 4g doesn't appear on itunes when plugged in my computer. It doesn't charge on my computer and I can't use itunes with my computer and my ipod. What would be solutions for this problem?

    See:

  • My iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes after setting up iCloud syncing

    I have an iPhone4 and have updated to ios 5 and have a macbook pro running Lion and have updated that and iTunes. Everything was goig OK but after setting up iCloud syncing I find if I want to sync by usb my iPhone doesn't appear in the devices. Maybe I have done something wrong, but I did usb sync once after all the setting up?

  • Iphone doesn't appear in Itunes on Windows XP

    Hey all.
    I recently purchased a new iPhone at the same time as a friend of mine. When we first set them up I authorised my phone on her macbook and was able to sync to her iTunes, transfer apps and whatever else no problem.
    Since I've got it to my home PC, though, I cannot get my Iphone to show up in iTunes at all.
    I am using Windows XP Pro SP 2, plugged in to USB 2 ports and meeting all the other system requirements. The iPhone is on version 2.2.1 and iTunes is 8.0.2.20.
    So far, XP recognises the iPhone and installs drivers for it to access the camera with no problems.
    I have followed all the steps in the "iPhone not recognized in iTunes for Windows" support page; iTunes has been freshly reinstalled a few times, the iTunes helper, Ipod service and Apple Mobile services are all running as 'started' but still I can't get my iPhone to appear in iTunes.
    Plugging it back into my friends macbook and it shows up fine, so I'm confused as to what might have gone wrong...
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Make sure you don't have any spyware or firewall software that is blocking the Apple Mobile Device Support driver from loading.

  • 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?

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes sidebar

    I have tried all of the recommended steps to get my iPhone to show in the iTunes sidebar but I keep getting the message: "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." The irony is that I was able to download songs on my iPhone a month or so ago with no trouble.
    One thing I notice that's different is that, when I open iTunes, a window appears titled "Apple iPhone" and instructs me to "select the program to launch for this action." However they're all camera or printer/scanner choices. I don't see the relevance to iPod or iTunes. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    You might need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.

  • 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!

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes and neither do CDs!! PLEASE HELP

    So I am still unable to UNINSTALL AVG linkscanner for Mac and i feel this is really disrupting the mac since it doesn't update at all.
    Our iPhones and iPods are all unable to sync to the imac but they just charge. Also CDs are not able to appear on the mac when inserted but the mac OS X disc was able to appear on screen.
    pleasee help me get this fixed!! because the assistance we got was just saying to Restore it but I know there are other ways to fix it other than restore it

    The AVG Linkscanner install .dmg includes an uninstaller (with a trash basket icon).  If you don't have the .dmg file, you can download it again here:  http://linkscanner.avg.com/Mac/index.html

  • IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes

    I've followed the troubleshooting guide, reloading iTunes multiple times, restarting multiple times, and nothing has changed. iTunes works fine, my iPhone works fine, they just can't see each other.

    have you tried holding down the sleep and home buttons to do a restore? if you hold them for over 10 seconds, it will tell you to connect to itunes. you should connect, then hold the buttons. you will need to restore the phone, but that might fix it.

  • Iphone 4s doesn't appear in itunes following iOS 6 installation

    iphone 4s doesn't appear in itunes following iOS 6 installation
    can someone help me out?

    No dice. See my comment above; I already turned that on before posting.
    To get your device to appear in iTunes and to automatically sync with iTunes, simply disable backup to iCloud on your iOS device. Voila! Your iOS device will appear in iTunes and auto-sync the selected content. For example, I'm now subscribing to a ton of podcasts that I used to manually download one-by-one b/c the tethered syncing process was just too painful. Now that my iPhone 4S appears as an always-connected device in iTunes, the latest versions of my podcasts shall auotmatically appear on the iPhone when I awake in the morning before my long commute to work.
