Can't find iPhone in iTunes

I have my phone plugged into my computer but I can't find my phone anywhere on iTunes.  It used to be simple: placed on the left sidebar with all of the other iTunes functions so I could quickly find it and choose it.  Then they placed the iPhone icon on a top nav bar, sometimes.  Now I don't know where my iPhone icon is (see screen shot).  I want to choose my iPhone in iTunes so that I can switch my apps around.  Can someone tell me how to get iTunes to show me my iPhone?

Why is your screen black?
It should be next to the three dots in the top bar on the left. You probably can't see it because everything is black.In white it looks like this:
And you see my device on the right of the three dots.

  • Can't find iPhone in iTunes sidebar

    Hi all,
    I bought an iPhone last week and am trying to sync it with iTunes. I haven't used anything in the mac world since the 90's! Please be kind.
    I have my iPhone usb'd into my Windows XP desktop and the iPhone recognizes the connection since I see a usb connector and an arrow into iTunes on my iPhone display. I have iTunes running on my desktop and it is updated with the latest sw versions. I have the iPhone User Guide open on my desktop and am reading the Set up iTunes syncing section. Step 2 says "In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar."
    I assume that the vertical panel on the left side with the light blue background is the sidebar, right? All there is there is Library, Store, and Playlists. I'm sure that I'm doing something really dumb but I'd appreciate it if some kind sole could help me. I tried searching these threads but couldn't find anything helpful.

    You'll have to restore the iPhone.

    Just connect the iPhone to your PC and iTunes should pop up and tell you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Just click Ok, then click Restore, iTunes will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • I bought songs on my laptop which synced to my iphone and iPad.  But I can't find them on itunes library on my home computer.  However, when I click download for the same song it says it has already been purchased.  How do I find it on home computer?

    Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

  • How do i find iphone in itunes

    I can't find iPhone in itunes

    So what I get is that your computer crashed and you lost all the mobile apps in iTunes, but your iPhone is still good. Under iTunes you should be able to connect your iPhone and under file select the "Transfer Purchases" option to transfer them from your phone to your iTunes library.
    Not sure if what I understood you to mean was right, but hope this helps.

  • I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I did this by going into the folder where the Amazon MP3's were and copied the link into iTunes under the add file link in the menu. This music was purchased before I had an iTunes account so I wasn't aware that they could've been automatically exported. I still have the iTunes MP3s on my iPhone. Could I sync them over or something to that extent because I can't find the files at all even when doing a system search.

  • Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager too

    The phone is stuck in this mode because it needs to contact ATT's activation servers when you plug it into itunes. There is most likely a connection issue Firewall/Antivir software blocking certain connections/ports.
    Common AV/Firewall programs that cause this issue: Norton, Mcafee, Zone Alarm, and CA (computer associates).
    Unfortunately you cant fully "disable" these programs so its a matter of knowing how to configure them or remove them completely using their respective removal tools.
    Otherwise, bring the phone to an Apple Retail Store or ATT store to have them activate it for you.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't find devices on iTunes

    Can't find devices on iTunes libraries, after turning on home sharing ?

    Home Sharing only allows you to share your iTunes library from computer-to-computer or from computer-to-iOS devices not from iOS device-to-computer.

  • HT204053 Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?

    Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?
    It finds my iPhone, iPod, and only one of 2 iPads.
    Sometimes, only finds iPhone and iPod only.
    I don't use iCloud...had very bad experiences with it !!!
    Lost all my Contacts and had duplicates and triplicates of entries in my Calender.
    Took a long time to get back to "normal"
    Stays far away from iCloud now !

    Find My iPhone relies on iCloud.  (It used to use MobileMe and may still do that, but that service is going away at the end of June, so you need your iCloud account for Find My iPhone.)

    Hey rangermikegsm,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Find movies you rented previously
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
    On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    Ciao,
    -Jason

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
