Can't get iphone 4 to appear in itunes

Hi All
I can't get my iphone 4 to appear on my intel iMac. OS is snow lepard and up to date as is iphone OS. I've followed the apple instructions for iphone not appearing in the devices list and have un and reinstalled itunes. Still no joy. ipod + ipod nano both appear. The phone charge from USB also.
Any answers.
cheers

Unfortunately no and the problem is back.
As I commented I've been through the whole process of trying differing USB ports on my mac, restarting and resetting the phone, restarting the computer and then uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. All as per instructions on the iphone support page. Despite all this the phone would still not show up on itunes.
I also tried several other macs and the phone still wouldn't show up.
I thought the problem had sorted itself out after yet another phone reset last night but it is happening again. At the moment the phone will occasionally appear and sync. The phone does however charge through every USB and on every computer I try.
Unless anyone else has any bright ideas I can only assume it's an intrinsic phone issue and I'll sen it back to apple for replacement.
cheers

  • Can't get iPod touch to appear in iTunes 10.1.1 ?

    We have followed the trouble shooting pages suggestions - uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes 10.1.1 but still no joy getting new iPod touch 64GB version to appear in iTunes ? If you can help with any advice please

    Try this, go to your devices and printers, and see if the ipod is showing there, right click on it and go to prefences or wherever you can see if the driver has been installed correctly. I had the same problem and when i looked and re installed the driver, my computer made a click and it was working perfectly. Hope this helps.

    You have to either "Import" the CD into iTunes' library or "Add" it to the library. THEN you can drag and drop the music onto teh Shuffle...

  • Can't get Apple TV to appear in itunes

  • How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

    My old computer crashed.  Trying to recover music from iPod.  Can transfer music, but not song titles.  Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats.  What am I doing wrong?

    Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

  • Can't get iphone calendar entries to appear in ical

    I can't get iphone calendar entries to appear in ical. Also, my iphone has hung up on sycning calendars several times. Even the couple of times it has gone through it, nothing I enter on the iPhone goes into ical.
    Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  
    iPhone *   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Mine also seems to be syncing iCal info o.k. from my phone. Tried it again today with several calendar entries and all showed up perfectly in iCal.
    I have also been using the calendarcreator service for a while on my MBP and this shows up on the info pane for my iPhone and allows me to select it to sync with. I believe this is how my iPhone info is getting into iCal but I will confirm this again tonight.

    Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad.  Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

    I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone.

  • I updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

    i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

    Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes.  Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

  • HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

    Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
    As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
    In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
    If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
    I completely agree.

  • How can i get iphone 6 unlocked in florida "west palm view"

    how can i get iphone 6 unlocked in florida "west palm view"

    Call your service provider, they'll ask about the contract and IMEI, they'll then charge you since you want to terminate the contract.
    In less that 14 business days, it will be unlocked.
