How to get itunes to recognize my phone

How can I get my macbook to recognize my 5s?
Im on sprint.

Connect your phone using a USB cable to a USB port on your MacBook. Do not connect to a hub, connect directly to your computer. The iPhone should appear in iTunes within a few seconds.

  • How to get iTunes to recognize an Italian album (not as Spanish)

    I have a number of albums by my favorite Italian artists (Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Laura Pausini, et al.). These artists habitually release their Italian-language CDs first, and then record and release the same CD (i.e., song list) in Spanish.
    However, when here in the States I insert the original Italian-language albums, about half the time the album is given the Spanish title and song list, which irks my sense of order. Does anyone know how to get things right, short of my manually having to type in each album's song list? (Peeved: I'm moving to the Apple/Mac world form the PC world, and Windows Media Player at least gives me a choice between the Italian title/songlist and the Spanish one).
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    iTunes does not recognize cameras, it only recognizes iDevices.
    Windows computers could careless that it's a phone or iPod or whatever, they will only recognize it as a camera.
    Plug the device into the computer.
    Lauch iTunes.
    Sync whatever you like to it.
    If you have issues, clearly explain exactly what is happening.

  • How to get iTunes to recognize iPod

    My iPod shows up in windows but not in iTunes. How can i get my iPod to show up in iTunes?

    Yes, resetting it while it's connected may get it recognized.
    If you're having the non-recognition problem frequently, you may have USB issues on your computer. Try connecting to one of the ports on the rear of your computer. Also see these tips:

  • How to Get iTunes to Recognize New Nano?

    Hi,
    Let me re-phrase an earlier question that got no response (sob):
    I have been using a mini for years, but the battery is nearly dead, so my husband gave me his brand new video Nano. When I connect it to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. Any tips would be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    I finally got it figured out and maybe the answer will help others in my situation.
    I was using the same cord from my old iPod to connect the new Nano to the computer. The computer didn't recogniez the new Nano until I switched out to the Nano cord. Duh.

  • HT3406 when using my old iphone as a itouch how do i get itunes to recognize as a different device and not the new phone?

    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 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 info

    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.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have already downloaded a song?

    I have a song I have purchased and downloaded.  When looking at the "Songs" view the song is listed twice.  One with a cload download button next to it even though I already have it downloaded.  I deleted the existing file and it was still listed twice, this time with a cload button next to both listings.  How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have purchased it only once?

    I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

    My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
    Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
    Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
    I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. 
    Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
    There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
    Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files.  If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud.  Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
    If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize my Library, my songs, and my playlists?

    I moved my iTunes folder to an external hard drive (or had iTunes move it, I forget exactly how it was done, with a friends help), then erased the iTunes folder on my internal drive. Everything worked fine until I forgot, and started iTunes without having turned on the external drive. I can still tell iTunes to look for the folder on the external drive (it seems to see it according to what I do in preferences), but It still will not show my songs or playlists. Anyone able to help?

    I was able to get iTunes to recognize the library and the individual tracks, by copying the iTunes folder from the external drive back to the internal drive. Preferences didn't seem to do it for me. I still wonder how to get the library to work from my external drive, though. I'd like help with that!

  • How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

    How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my  music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

    *What am I doing wrong?*
    You moved it to the server.
    You should let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
    Menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.
