I can't get my iPhone 4 to show up in iTunes!

I've gone through the steps in the Express Lane and nothing has worked.
My freakin' phone support thing expired after 90 days (like always) so now the only way to talk to a support person is if I pay $29
I swear I remember it being so much easier to speak to the support team before now!
Does anybody have any suggestions for how to troubleshoot this further?

Have you tried zapping your Mac's PRAM?

  • How can I get the iPhone icon to show on the iTunes screen. I want to check some music for loading into the phone, can't locate the phone icon.

    I always have trouble moving music from my MacPro to my phone. The phone icon doesn't show on the iTunes screen where it's supposed to. I may be missing some setup step that makes the phone show there. Any clues?

    Plug the cable into the iPhone and into a USB port directly on your computer, not a USB hub. Also make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

  • I can't get my iphone to appear under devices in itunes and i have followed the directions and support provided by apple-any suggestions?

    I can't get my iphone to appear under devices within itunes, my iphone appears as my ipod under devices therefore I am unable to sync my music etc onto my iphone. any suggestions???

    iPhone 4S and Windows XP the first thing that jumps to mind is that the iPhone 4S needs a USB 2.0 connection to sync with iTunes. Check your computers user guide to see if the PC has a compatable USB 2.0 input.

    You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first - if your Mac can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • How can i get my iphone 4 to be detected by iTunes

    Ok, so i've got windows xp on a laptop and have installed itunes 11. I have attached my iphone via the white usb/serial cable and it appears as a camera in "my computer", but when i open itunes, it doesn't appear.
    I've trolled the internet for solutions and i've also seen the KB article on apple stating that i need to update the driver. I've done this several times.
    I have rebooted the device whilst attached to the laptop several times.
    I have moved the device to another USB port several times.
    i have deleted and re-installed itunes a few times too.
    How can i get itunes to detect the phone.
    Your time and patience and a working solution are greatly required and are greatly appreciated.

  • Can't get your Apple TV to show up in ITunes Devices? Try This!!!

    I tried everything, even Applecare couldn't figure it out after 3 hrs.
    Try this (hope it works for you like it does me!)
    try resetting your NVRAM via the following process:
    Shut down your Mac, then start it back up while immediately holding the following keys: Command, Option, P and R.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    I got this from Macfixit.com as a fix for a unrecognized wireless network, and now my Apple TV connects to ITunes!
    Good Luck!!!

    you need to upload their podcast composition to .Mac or another server. If you're loading to .Mac use iWeb.
    iTunes just points to the podcasts out on the web. It doesn't load them. You can't have them on your local computer unless it's RSS server enabled and is on the net 24/7.
    Create a podcast page in iWeb. The main podcast page holds your artwork and a description of your podcasts. This artwork and info will be uploaded to iTunes. On this main podcast page, you'll see an ENTRY button. Click on that and you'll get a new page that is automatically underneath your main page in the SITE ORGANIZER. Put the first episode of your podcast there, with a description, date, and title.
    SUBMIT TO ITUNES next under the FILE menu. You'll get an email from iTunes saying that they are reviewing your feed, then a couple of days later you'll get an approval email with your podcast url feed id. (keep this handy for later)
    Then, people will be able to go to iTunes and download students compositions.
    hope this helps.

  • I cannot get my iPhone 4S to show up in iTunes. (tried EVERYTHING!!)

    Well, I've read countless threads about this.
    However, NONE (and I repeat NONE) of those other options (ie: UpperFilter, reinstall, restart service, et al) are working for me.  I am on my 6th reinstall
    of iTunes, and I cannot get the thing to recognize my iPhone 4S. 
    Let me say, too, I *HATE* this newer version of iTunes.. (ok, that felt better!!) 
    I'm using Win7 system, everything is enabled.  iPhone shows up in My Computer but NOT iTunes. 
    Please assist..  (oh, and please do not refer me to other threads..especially those pertaining to methods I've already tried and addressed).  Thanks.

    please look to your right in the More Like This box, or search this forum.  Your question has been asked and answered multiple times already.

  • Can't get a podcast page to show up in iTunes online

    I am trying to get student created GarageBand compositions up to iTunes online so that when a link to their song is clicked on an iWeb page a viewer can listen to or download the compostition.
    I drug a playlist from iTunes to an iWeb podcast page and "submitted/published the new podcast page to iTunes and .mac"
    It took a couple of attempts, but the page appears to have uploaded. When the links are clicked on the page
    http://web.mac.com/hipmac/iWeb/HIP%20Mac/Podcast/F9031D19-5E1E-467E-9A09-CE28F98 54D22.html
    iTunes opens but no results for the student composer are found.
    From what I've read in discussions and help, the page can take a few days to become available, but it has been over a week.
    In addition to that opportunity, the two other podcast pages have made it to iTunes but don't contain all of the content.

    I've tried re-uploading the podcast a couple of times and have sync'd iDisk...
    What should I try now?

  • How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

    Hi,
    My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
    I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
    The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
    Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
    Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
    Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

    I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
    All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
    I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
    It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.
