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.

  • How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

    I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
    Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

    The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
    If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
    I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
    Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.

    You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
    I agree.
    Are you always moving them around?
    When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
    Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
    Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
    *OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
    I have several hundred playlists with these files
    Why would you have several hundred playlists?
    I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
    Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
    I just need an answer to the question.
    Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

    Well blow me down & keelhaul me! I've solved my own problem. The issue appears to be that Apple won't sync Smart Groups from Address Book to the iPhone. I created a test group with a few dud contacts in Address Book; iTunes sync'ed then OK & as soon as I went into Contacts on iPhone, there suddenly was the Groups button appearing with 2 Groups - my Test Group + all Other contacts. Nice one apple - another undocumented feature! Looks like I have to do away with the Smart Groups feature & convert them all to normal Groups in Address book - bugga!

  • ITunes has compilations for sale of, for example, Folk Music and Reggae, usually with 3 levels of inclusion. How do I find these in iTunes to purchase them?

    iTunes has compilations or samplers for sale of, for example, Folk Music or Reggae, usually with 3 levels of inclusion: a beginner selection, one which includes more, and a deeply inclusive set. Many of these are very good but since upgrading iTunes I can't figure out how to find these. How do I find these in iTunes to purchase them?

    If for some reason you failed to import any purchases made on your iphone to your computer, not good, then
    you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?

    How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?
    i downloaded today iTunes 12 and i wanted now to sync my iPhone with it... but i'm lost. i cannot find my iPhone on iTunes 12. How to sync it?

    OK.  So when you plug it in, what happens?
    When I plug in my iPhone, along the top row of icons, a new one appears in the shape of a phone. If I click on that, I get a sidebar with info on my phone and to the right is information similar to what I'd see in previous versions of iTunes. I have it set up to sync when connected, so the sync starts immediately.
    (Edit...)
    Here's the icon that I get when I plug the phone in:

    Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

  • How do I find ipad on itunes?

    How do I find ipad on itunes? I have never had problems connecting to the iPad, before I was to update ios.
    I have also tried to manually start the "Administrative Tools", with no luck

    Hi,
    Open iTunes Store app and look under purchased. Also you will see music in your music app. Ps make sure that you are signed in using your Apple ID.

  • How do you find contacts in itunes

    how do you find contacts in itunes once the phone has been synced?

    There are no contacts in itunes.  Itunes is a media management program.
    Your contacts will be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • How do i find out my itunes account balance

    How do i find out my itunes account balance? Thanks

    There is no sign of my Apple ID in the iTunes Store, no matter how many times I log in.
    If I click on the "Purchase History" from my itunes receipt email, it redirect me to the itunes download page, everytime!
    ALL I want is the BALANCE - How hard can it be!?! (...and purchase history would be nice!).
    But instead the only options under Account are:
    Update your Apple ID email address and password
    Change your default shipping or billing info
    Update Express Checkout settings
    Manage email subscriptions
    And the "Store - View Order History" knows nothing about itunes order history!
    And all the iTunes links, keep sending me to the download page!!!
    Sigh.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    Or, login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it.
    Either method will remove the passcode.

  • 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.
