How do I get iTunes to recognize my new iPhone 4S so I can sync my music?

I need help with syncing my music to my iPhone

Hi Friend,
if iTunes cannot find your device, go to Edit>>Preferences>>Devices and unmark "Block your devices automatically sync", then I hope iTunes can find your device.

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

My iTunes does not list any devices when I plug in my new iPhone to the computer. how do I get iTunes to recognize my new phone?

My old iPhone died, so I just got a new one. I am hooking it up to my computer for the first time. The iTunes on my computer doesn't show any devices as being hooked up to the computer when I plug in my iPhone. Yet my iPhone is charging so I know it is connected to the computer. Any suggestions on how to get my iTunes to recognize the new device? Thanks

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

How do I get itunes on my mac pro to recognize my new ipod shuffle?

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar (along left side of window). To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With sidebar visible, when the shuffle is connected, it should appear in the sidebar under DEVICES. Does it appear there?

When using my old iphone4 as an itouch - how do i get itunes to recognize as a new and seperate device

You don't need to do anything. iTunes will automatically recognise different devices as different devices. Just plug it in.
You can rename the device by clicking the name in the side panel in iTunes for your own identification purposes, but this name does not matter to iTunes.

How do i get iTunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from purchased Cd's?

You just import them to iTunes, or you import them to iTunes directly from the CD. But, it you had imported them to the computer before you had iTunes, then you go to edit, add file to library, or add folder to library, however you have the music set up.
