Installed 8.2.1 - Now iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes

I just installed iTunes 8.2.1 on my MacBook Pro (10.4.1), and now my iPhone (2.2.1) doesn't show up in iTunes.
The troubleshooter says to reinstall iTunes (I've already rebooted the phone and the computer to no avail), but that seems risky. I don't want to lose my library. Any other suggestions?

Hi Cyndi
I have been fearing what you said about USB 1.0 since I got my first gen iPhone two years ago. I have an older Powerbook G4 that has one USB 1.0 port. When I got my first gen iPhone I never had any problems downloading or syncing with USB 1.0, but then the news of that first big update came along. People were having problems and some of them were being blamed on folks using USB 1.0 when the specs said USB 2.0 was required. So I went online and bought a USB 2.0 card to go into my Powerbook's PCMCIA slot and all was fine. But I still used USB 1.0 from time to tiem and it still worked OK. Slower, but OK.
I've just updated iTunes to 8.2.1 and I tried my USB 1.0 port and knock on wood my 3GS synced just fine. Odd. ?????
If you have a PCMCIA slot on your computer, try going to www.macsales.com for a USB 2.0 card.

Original iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes 9.2 for Mac

My iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. Do I need to upgrade or uninstall something?

Same here. Brand new 3GS running 3.1.3. Activated with iTunes 9.1 on Mac, updated iTunes to 9.2, Software Update was unable to complete "Registering updated system components". iTunes 9.2 works properly, besides it doesn't show my iPhone.

Upgraded to leopard no iphone doesn't show up in itunes

I upgraded to leopard and now when I plug in my iphone it charges but itunes doesn't open, and when I open itunes the iphone doesn't show up. If I need to reset the iphone (which seems rather drastic) how do i do that??
Thanks for any help.

I didn't think I was going to have time to try that tonight but it worked out that I did have time and the reinstall worked. The reinstall was faster than I expected and went right to working normally. no lost playlist or time to search for music.
Thanks for the help

Hey there krpeterson93,
It sounds like your new phone is not appearing in iTunes on your computer. Depending on the version of your OS, the instructions are a different.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes

I started the recovery mode in iTunes, it gave an error saying unable to recover and now my iPhone is crashed and doesn't start anymore.
ITunes doesn't recognize the iPhone so I can't do anything right now.

WJosten, I appreciate your detailed instructions re dealing with this problem.
After updating OS 10.4.11 to 10.6 this morning, I plugged in my iPhone 4 to find that iTunes 9.2, already installed on my MacBook, would not recognize it.
I looked on here, saw this thread, and tried the steps you outlined. When I got to the part about downloading a fresh version of iTunes 9.2, however, I could not get iTunes to install. I click on the disk image and it does nothing except briefly highlight the box with the .mpkg file in it. Fwiw, I cannot see the "opened box" icon that's usually associated with an install. The .mpkg file just looks like a text file.
Any thoughts on what I might do? I have been using Firefox, so I tried downloading with Safari, just in case that made a difference, but no. I have 12 GB of space on my internal hard drive, so that's not a problem, either.
I am totally stymied, having spent most of the day today wrestling with this.
Thanks.

My iphone wont show up in itunes. please help!!!!

hello, i just updated my iphone to ios 5 and since then it doesnt show up in itunes!!!! ive tried apples trouble shooting tips, and nothing has worked, though i havent reinstalled it as i dont want to loose everything!!
any help would be great

Sounds like you need to put it in recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. You could try resetting the phone first (hold on/off and home buttons simultaneoulsy for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first) but it probably won't work.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would try formatting your iPod then restoring it again. If that doesnt work, just post.

I am absolutely infuriated as my new iPod Touch 5G simply will not connect to iTunes and does not show up any more. I have tried everything. Any Ideas?

See

- I would start with

or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
For the future, saying you tried everything provides us with zero informatin as to what you did try. If you really tried everything then there is no way would could help.

Iphone 2g is NOT recognized in Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have been using this iphone virtually with no problems for months, til I went to add some music and now I get the message "itunes cannot read the contents of the iphone. Go to summary tab in iphone preferences and click restore this iphone to factory settings."
***??? Why do I need to restore this iphone and lose all my stuff that I spent hours and hours adding the way I like it!! Everything on the phone still works!!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Thanks very much for your time and help.

As far as the iPhone not being seen in iTunes, the link below will provide some assistance.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
As far as why does the iPhone need to be restored. If the iPhone is not connected are you able to use it normally?
If so have you tried connecting the iPhone into the different USB ports other then the one you are currently using?
Tips
*Do not connect iPhone to USB Hub, Keyboard that has USB Ports, or USB Cable extender if possible
*Disconnect any un-needed USB Devices such as Printers, Scanners, Cameras, Etc. That are not needed at the current time
*Try to connect and use back USB ports if you have a Desktop
