After ios7 update iphone not showing in itunes on iMac as device

After running latest iphone (4s) update & having the latest itunes update on my iMac the iphone device is no longer showing in itunes. I have checked the USB & changed ports however this does not appears to be the problem as iphone still charging when plugged in. Without this showing as device I have no way to Sync anything.

Hey Loxwood,
I found a few documented troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone doesn't appear on your Mac:
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac.

Ipod nano 4gb not showing in itunes or recognized as device

Out of the blue my nano is not detected as a device with my Windows XP. First I tested my USB port to see if that was the issue. I connected a mouse which was recognized and worked fine. I then got another sync cord thinking maybe my cord went bad and that is not working either. When I used my old cord I received an error message that I exceeded the power limit on my hub port. Which is why I thought my cord was bad. With the second cord I get no such errow however the ipod is charging but doing nothing else. I've gone out to my device list to see if there were any visible errors or anything diabled and its not showing any. But its also not showing an ipod or mass hub device like it normally would. Any thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated!

My ipod is doing the same thing. could you please tell me how you fixed it?

Apps on iphone not showing in itunes

i downloaded a few apps onto the phone and [after a lengthy back up], they're not showing up in itunes [apps folder or in the list of apps when iphone is connected]. they're also not in the itunes mobile folder in the home folder.
i "tested" re-downloading an app in itunes and it did say that i've already purchased it [so i didn't actually repurchase it]. but it's nowhere on my macbook -- just on the phone.
i've authorized computer, checked for purchases, and rebooted everything. ideas?

If you downloaded some apps, they should show up in your Library Applications selection. When your iPhone is connected, select the phone and check the Applications tab in the main library window. You should see your apps there. Try a manual sync of just the apps from the Application window. Your Apps will show up individually on the phone. I had to play around with mine a little to get them on the Phone. Now they are working fine. You can add or take them away by turning the checks on and off and syncing. I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck.

Backed up iPhone not showing in iTunes

I backed up my iphone before getting a new one but when I connect it to iTunes the back up does not show. Is there any other way to get the back up?

All backups are stored in iTunes from Edit > Preferences > Devices. If you dont see it there. you're doing it wrong. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

After running the recent update Iphone not detected by itunes

After running the recent iOS update on my iphone4, itunes no longer detects my iphone when I plug into my USB port. I ran the troubleshooter and got no relief. The phone also charges much slower from the USB than it used to but still seems to charge about the same when plugged into a separate power source. The phone also does not indicated it is charging anymore even when plugged into a separate power source.

Duh Norm. Didn't find first time through.
That's why you have 32k points and I have close to zero.
Thanks much.

IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!

I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
- I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
- Mac Pro early 2008
- Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
- iTunes 8
Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
What is going on??
I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?

// Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
Very happy to finally have found a solution.
If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
Good luck!

After ios7 update, mail app showing 1 unread msg but there are no unread msgs. Fix?

After updating to iOS7, the mail app icon shows I have 1 unread message, however, all emails have been read. I logged in on the PC to make sure all were read. This also happened with a previous Android phone I had and there was no fix :/ I have tried restarting the phone and app itself but this hasn't worked so far.

If you've updated to IOS 7(GRRRRR) on your ipod/ipad/iphone you may be seeing you have dozens of unread emails in your inbox,even though you know you haven't.
This is a famous Apple glitch that they so far refuse to cure.
All the forums stick to the same line ie "mark all read" only to find it works only for the next email to come in and it's back again. I had 10000 odd from years back.
Here's a solution,it works with Hotmail/Live Mail/Gmail and all web based emails;
Log into your webmail on a computer via your browser,create a folder called,Archive or something like that,highlight all your emails and move them to that box,your inbox will now be empty but you've lost nothing,go to your Apple object and restart it,all your emails will move to that box and now not appear on your phone-unless your last 250 haven't been read by the Apple server,these you can just mark as read on your gadget and it's sorted.
It's taken me 10 days to find this.Thanks Apple I've got better things to do!

IPad 3 bricked after IOS update, will not restore through iTunes

Hi,
I have an iPad 3 wifi/3g model that bricked after an IOS update 7.0.6. The update failed at about 70% (Apple Logo with progress line on screen) and rebooted into recovery mode. I've tried doing a restore through iTunes mulitple times and even looked at jailbreaking it but no luck. It always fails during the update and I have tried muliple computers (Windows and Mac) Different networks (Home/Work) but the issue is still there.
The device won't go into DFU mode and in itunes it shows the serial number as n/a like the iPad has no software on it at all. I've tried everything I can thing of and I've had plenty of experiences recoverying and restoring IOS devices in the past. Tinyumberlla and other utils won't get it out of recovery mode and now iTunes won't even try to load the firmware back on the device, it just fails after extracting software.
I'm thinking its now a hardware issue, does anyone have another solution to try?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Purchases on my iphone not showing in itunes

after purchasing a an album on my iphone they aren't showing up in my purchases when logging in to itunes on my laptop?

This is one of many reasons why maintaining a backup stored on an external drive or some other external media is so important - regardless the age of a computer or a computer's hard drive. Anything else of any importance that you lost - as in you don't include your iTunes library or at least purchases from the iTunes Store with your backup?
Apple includes an alert/warning message about maintaining a backup for iTunes Store purchases after a purchase is made. I assume this notice/warning was ignored along with all the other irritating pop-up warnings provided with XP and Vista?
It is your responsibility to maintain a backup of your important data including iTunes Store purchases.
You can try contacting Apple Store customer service, which can be done via email, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Delays in receiving imessages and text messages after iOS7 update - iphone 4s

Sending messages is never a problem (unlike a lot of issues I've read) only receiving, and the sender of the message is always notified it was sent successfully - even though i receive the sent message minutes to days after.
Sometimes the messages are only received if:
1) I tap the messages icon
2) the screen freezes for 10-30 seconds
3) I get a rush of new message notifications that say "2d ago" or "35 min ago"
Any one else having the above problem? - Not happy at all with iOS7 performance on my 4S so far.

its giving you a choose on device sign in with apple id or create apple id. sounds like you are selecting create. do this
Hard Reset
Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
now choose sign in with apple id not create.
Peace, Clyde

Iphone not showing in itunes

im getting this message now when i plug in my iphone into itunes!
"This iphone can not be uses because the required software is not installed.
run the itunes installer to remove itunes and reinstall itunes."
ive looked on other forums and came apon this txt "you need to make sure file called iTunesMobileDevice.dll is in this folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin
you probably moved this file instead of copy and pasting it. Just search your computer for iTunesMobileDevice.dll (or navigate to the folder on your computer where it is located), copy it, then paste it in the above directory and you should be good to go. (I initially made this same mistake and got this same error)."
this helped one person but i do have the DLL file in that directory.
so any one have an idea why itunes is telling me to uninstall and reinstall, tho i have done this several times with no success.

Have you tried asking in the iPhone forums? I don't have an iPhone, but everyone there probably does.
You could also try using a different USB port.

Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?

This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.

Ipad 2 does not show in itunes

My ipad 2 was completely dead last night so I plugged it in to charge using the 10W wall charger that came with it and noticed that it did not vibrate when I plugged it in nor did it show the lightning bolt showing it was charging. I left it alone from a few hours and when I checked, it was up to 12%. Normally a few hours will almost fully charge it. I swapped out a few different cables, chargers, and even plugged it into my mac USB, and none of them vibrated and showed the lightning bolt. When I plug it into my Mac, it does not show in iTunes at all under devices. I plugged in my iPhone and iPod and both showed instantly. I decided to leave the paid charge overnight on the wall charger to see what would happen.
This morning it was up to 53%. I updated the iPad 2 software to iOS 5.1.1, updated iTunes to 10.6.1, updated all software on my Mac (I have OS X 10.6.8) and still doesnt show in iTunes and none of the chargers or cables make it vibrate when plugged in and none show the charging bolt. I deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver and then reinstalled thinking perhaps the mobile device driver was messed up - didnt help.
On the iPad 2, I went to settings/general/reset/reset network settings - no help.
Of course, throughout this I have reset my Mac several times, reset the iPad both by sliding the bar to shut down and by holding down the reset button & home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, and as stated above tried several wall chargers and USB cables that works on my other i products. So I do not think its something obvious like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
ITunes 10.6.1

Let me know when you figure this out. I am experiencing the exact same situation. Just started this morning after I switched my mobileme account to icloud. I can see my iphone in itunes, but when I plug my ipad in, nothing. Not on any computer. I have always been able to sync and charge with no trouble. Now my ipad is slowly turning in to a door stop.
Help!
Thank you!
