Can't see my iPhone/iPad in iTunes

Hi everyone,
I have two problems - possibly related - not sure.
First, for a long while now, every time I launch iTunes I get the following error:
"The registry settings used by iTunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
Now I haven't installed CD burning software and I don't really use iTunes for that, so I just sort of let it go.
Recently, though, I have found that iTunes no longer recognises my iPhone (or iPad, come to that). I've tried reading a number of posts on this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. I tried uninstalling and importing back my library and reinstalling. I've tried restarting the iphone. I've tried deleting the iPhone from device manager and allow it to load up again.
All, with the same two issues. The registry error and the no show on iTunes.
Sidenote: I read one post that suggested I add an upper filter to a particular registry entry. I backed up my registry first (of course) and then tried it. I did solve the registry error, but it also created a driver error on my DVD Rom. So I removed the upper filter and I was back to square one.
Any other suggestions? I haven't done a reset of the iphone yet. I'd like that to be my last option, since I have so many apps on both the phone and the ipad that organising them all into folders on the device is painfull and takes forever. (Even through iTunes this is painful. Any software out there that will do the job quickly?")
Thanks in advance for any advice you might swing my way.

Please help!

  • Can no longer configure iPhone & iPad in iTunes

    Hi,
    I ran into the following problem after upgrading both my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5:
    When I connect any of the two via USB to my Mac, they do show up in the iTunes device list, but the right pane - where one would configure, for instance, what to synch, remains empty. Both synch (via USB only) when I initiate the process from the Settings > General but it seems not via WiFi.
    As a consequence, I am no longer able to manage what I want to synch - Music, photos etc.
    I am running 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 ...
    Thanks in advance, Jurgen

    I finally solved the problem by connecting the iPad to another Mac (without synch'ing anything). Re-connecting it to my iMac, I was suddenly able to see the options in the right pane again, rather than just being able to un-mount. Here the post from the user who reported this solution first: link

    Help! I have tried everything listed on here!

I followed all the troubleshooting things apple suggest online, but I've had no success so I have no idea what else I can try!

  • Can't see old iPhone 4 in iTunes to back up my new/refurbished iPhone4

    Just got a refurbished iPhone 4 to replace my old iPhone 4 (which I synced to my mac earlier today). Now I want to restore my refurbished iPhone 4 from bacj up of my old iPhone 4 but don't see it in my iTunes. Any solutions? My itunes/iOS software is up to date

    Just to confirm:
    When you go to iTunes --> Preferences --> Devices, do you see the old iPhone 4 backup there?  I think you're saying it is not there.
    If that's true, had you been backing up your old iPhone 4 to iCloud?  If so, you will have to restore from there.  You would reset your refurbished iPhone to erase its settings and information, then sign into iCloud and choose Restore from a Backup in the Setup Assistant.

  • I can't see my iPhone 4 on iTunes 10.4

    I feel a bit silly asking such a basic question. Here's the skinny:
    - when I plug the iPhone in to my Macbook (pretty old, 2007 model, but I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard) the iPhone makes the noise and starts charging
    - yesterday I followed some Apple help page which recommended deleting iTunes, and some AppleMobile device-type system file, restarting, reinstalling iTunes. I did all that and it worked. Now today it doesn't again! Obviously I would rather not have to do that everything I want to update my songs!
    - I haven't installed/uninstalled anything on my Macbook since yesterday when it was working.
    Please help, thanks!

  • Itunes can't see my iphone

    Itunes can not see my iphone under the devices.  Recently used Windows Parallel on my Mac but made sure to de-select the USB in the parallels application and clicked associate this device with Mac OS and not the windows os.  I have tried un-installing iTunes, reinstalled with most recent edition.  Recycled the iphone on / off.  Removed the iphone from the docking cradle to direct connection with iphone to usb and no hubs, cradles etc.... in between iphone and computer without any success.  I know the mac and itunes are working correctly because it syncs my ipad, wife's iphone 3gs and kids ipod touch without any trouble.  I looked in the hardware listing in the system preferences and the usb lists my iphone as attached.  With the iphone 4 plugged in I rebooted my mac hoping it would auto open itunes and auto sync but no luck. 

    Hello Barbara4090,
    When the iPhone unmounts from iTunes during the backup phase, it can be due to some unreadable data on the iPhone that iTunes cannot deal with. It could be data saved by a third party APP on the iPhone, but there's no easy way to determine the what data may be causing the issue.
    First try resetting the iPhone by holding down the sleep/power button and home button until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt).
    Connect to iTunes and Sync to test.
    Next would be to determine whether the issue is actually with the iPhone or the MacBook Air.
    You mentioned that you also use an iMac.
    If the iMac is running at least 10.4.11 and has a current installation of iTunes 8.0.2 on it, you can use the iMac to isolate the source of the issue.
    If you have essentially the same information on both computers, you can do this test in the existing user on the iMac.
    If you'd prefer not to intermingle any data from the iPhone you can create a new User on the iMac and test:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
    Before connecting the iPhone to the iMac, put a check in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" in the Devices section of iTunes Preferences.
    Connect the iPhone and then right-click or control-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Backup."
    If the iPhone cannot be backed up on the second computer, then it is due to some unusable data on the iPhone that cannot be backed up.
    After the test, you can delete the new User if you created one.
    If that is the case, then you may need to restore the iPhone and choose the option to restore from a previous backup at the end of the restore process:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    I would do this on the computer that you normally sync the iPhone with.
    If, on the other hand, the iMac can backup the iPhone successfully, then there is possibly an issue with the MacBook Air or it's software:

    Hope that helps,

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

    i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

    Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
    The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.
