Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7

Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

Since the maximum OS X version for an eMac is 10.5, how are you running OS X 10.7.5 on the eMac?

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!
iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu. -
I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did. But some reason the app Clash Of Clans did not. Thank you.
If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

I am trying to synch my iPhone with my computer, and new Apple ID. My iPhone is synced with another computer, but i have changed the Apple ID on my phone and authorized it on my computer. However, i can not transfer my purchases on to my new account. I have updated my phone, authorized the account on both my phone and my computer. And i do not wish to wipe my phone clean, because there is but one song on this new account. How do i transfer the music on my new account?
All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

why does my itunes say "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out"? I just want to sync my iphone with my itunes. please help
If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

So, trying to sync my phone - hours now of "Step 5 - waiting for items to copy"
What can I do?"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPhone
I have purchased music from my iPhone 4 that was transferred to the 5 c which has never downloaded. I am trying to sync it with computer in order to get a my info
I am connected directly via the USB cable that came with my iPhone. I'll try changing my Firewall settings and see if that solves the problem.
UPDATE: I looked at both my Windows and Anti-Virus Firewalls and both have exceptions in place which should allow iTunes to function properly. Also, it occurs to me that I might mention that when I synched my iPod Touch last night I did not experience this problem. It is only occuring with my iPhone 4. -

HT1386 Trying to Sync - Unable to load data class - please help
I just cleared my I-Pod Touch to put new music on it and my computer is prompting the following. "I-Tunes was unable to load data class information from sync sevices." Reconnect of try again later. Another prompt that keeps appearing is "the application apple mobile device help quit unexpectedly." Please help me...
Apple Mobile Device Restart. Disable all security software ex. Firewalls and Antivirus. Follow article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 . The above listed article is correct by lllaass. I resolve it by unchecking the different categories in itunes sync pages... Plug in device, click on name on left side of itunes, Click on different sync pages like summary, info, music, movies, etc. You need to uncheck the main check box to sync content. An example would be unchecking "Sync Music" . You will then need to sync once for each category until you locate the source of your corrupt files or folders. Syncing without it checked removes content from device. Follow this step even if there is nothing on the device. Once you identify if it is picture or music etc. you will need to delete corrupt files or move them somewhere else on the computer so itunes can't find it anymore.

Before I upgraded to iOS 6, there was a way to hide an application on my phone. When you did this is only showed up in Featured Apps in the App Store and specifically, would only appear in "Hidden Apps". Also, the app wouldn't show up at all on my device when I sync to the computer. I can't figure out how to hide an app anymore. Can anyone help? Oh and I'm talking about purchased apps...not the ones that come standard with the iPhone.
Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
