I can't find my device on itunes Any suggestions

I used to sync iphone /itunes. Downloaded latest version of itunes and now I can't sync anymore. It doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in. Is there something I'm not aware of? Any suggestions is appreciated.

Hi Wolfarrow,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly. Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
I hope this information helps ....

My iPad won't turn on. It has a usb cord picture with an up arrow pointing to iTunes logo. I can't find my device in iTunes.

I can't get my iPad to turn on. I have done everything the internet said, other than looking device up in iTunes, because I can't find my device in iTunes. What can I do? It is stuck with a usb cord picture with an up arrow pointing to iTunes logo.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package. Any suggestions?

I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package. Any suggestions? I have tried to delete all the iTunes components already, it didn't work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I have a problem with Iphoto. I have approximately 28000 photos. Recently all but 5000 have disappeared. I can not find and restore them. Any suggestions?

I have a problem with Iphoto '06. I have approximately 28000 photos. Recently all but 5000 have disappeared. I can not find or restore them. Any suggestions?

This is what the inside of an iPhoto 6 library looks like:
Where in there did you look for the image files?
Did you run any updaters pror to discovering the missing photos? What fixes have you tried? Do you have a backup of the library on another hard drive?

HT204074 Can't find "manage devices" in itunes...

I want to remove a device from itunes. Apple says:
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
However, I am just not able to find "Manage Devices" on the account info screen - what am I missing?

Not sure which instructions you followed so will give the following just in case. The following from Manage your auto-renewing subscriptions - Apple Support just worked for me with the minor differences of instead of the screen showing "Manage App Subscriptions" it shows a section titled "Subscriptions" in light gray and centered below that the word "Manage" in blue.
Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to manage subscriptions
From the Home screen, tap App Store.
Tap Featured from the menu at the bottom.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap your Apple ID. If you don't see your Apple ID, tap Sign In and enter your information. Then tap your Apple ID.
Tap View Apple ID.
If prompted, enter your password and tap OK.
On the Account Settings screen, scroll down and tap Manage App Subscriptions.
Tap the subscription you want to manage, then choose a subscription category.
Use the options to manage your subscription. You can choose a different subscription period, or turn off Auto-Renewal.

I can't find my devices on iTunes. The selections in File "devices" are always shaded. How can I always view my connected devices in iTunes?

I can't find my plugged-in devices anywhere in iTunes, the "File>Devices" selections are always shaded. I would like to show the devices' status whenever I select iTunes on my Mac. Any ideas?

First, the devices would have to be connected ...
Additionally, do all your devices use an Apple ID that has been authorized on your Mac? If not, go to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu and make sure the devices' Apple IDs are authorized.

Hi! i have an ipad air and an iphone 5s and run windows 8.1.
Normally both my ipad and my iphone connect to itunes through wifi so i can put music on it, delete apps or put comics on it or whatever. But suddenly yesterday it stoppet working and now my itunes can't even find ios devices when i plug it in the computer by USB? Everything is fully updated and i tried reinstalling itunes and reset my devices and use a different usb port.
MY computer can find them via USB so i can look at my pictures from "my computer".

Hello ErdalDK,
It sounds like you are unable to see your devices either via Wi-Fi or when connected with a USB cable. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If that does not resolve the issue, I would recommend re installing iTunes again, but also its associated apps. The following article will walk you through that if needed:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

HT1657 I downloaded a movie that I rented. I can't find it to play. Any suggestions

I downloaded 2 movies that I rented. New to iTunes. I can't find them to play Any suggestions?

If you've downloaded them directly on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) - if they are not in there then are they hidden by a film age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?

I can't find my device on iTunes and I have done the hide bar and show bar, but it still isn't working.

I need help syncing my iPod Touch to my iTunes. It's a replacement iPod and not all of my information was transferred. I am also using a different computer than the one I used for my last iPod. So I'm trying to put the songs on my iTunes onto my iPod, but the iPod is not opening in iTunes its opening as its own file. So, iTunes isn't showing that I have a device. Please help me.

I can't find the device with iTunes 11

I want to change the sync setting on my iphone and ipod. When I connect the device and launch iTunes I see the device listed at the top right but when I click on it, it disappears. Syncing happens but I can't change the settings on the sync. I have the iTunes 11.0.2 and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro.

You can try google device manager instead.

TS1538 In iTunes 11 I can't find a device list nor my ipod to the left of music library screen, where is the device list situated?

After installing update to iTunes 11, I can not find the devices list nor my ipod on the left side of the music library screen. I also can't find the devices button. Devices is an option under 'File' but it only allows 'transfer purchases to ipod'. Where is the device list located in iTunes 11?

I`m having exactly the same problem!! Updated Friday to the new Itunes 11, which i have to say looks cool but isn`t overly user friendly, and my Iphone 5 is not being recognised. Ran diagnostic tests and i`m getting a red dot next to iphone, ipod etc stating not connected even though it was! I`ve spent all weekend trying to fix the problem and have gone through clearing the temp folder and the device manager, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but nothing!
