Why does my iphone not show in tunes when on same wireless network
why does my ipad, and my two iphones not show in itunes on the same wireless network
It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.

I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
Setup
So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
Goal
However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
Tried
So...I click on iTunes DJ.
I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
Problem
However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
Question
So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
Thank you in advance for any help.Phone not recognised in itunes

Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?
Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?
Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?
why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?
The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?
Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?
"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?
Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only. -
TS4036 why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done
why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done
There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity. I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon. Is that an app you downloaded? Did you jailbreak?
The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes. Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS. RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk. -
Why does my iphone shut down my computer when i have pictures on my phone
Why does my iphone shut down my computer when I plug into the USB port when I have pictures on my phone. My computer says it has found a new digital camera - then my computer shuts down.
Thank you Lawrence. I forgot I used to run a Logitech webcam several years ago and I hadn't uninstalled program when I changed the camera to a different one. I uninstalled the camera and it now seems to accept my phone with pictures onto my computer without shutting my computer down. I really appreciate your help with this problem.
