Is it a Powerbook or a Macbook Pro?
A Powerbook is not capable of running a version of iTunes that will work with an iPhone 5 (which I'm assuming you have, since it's the only iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.4, which you indicate you have).

    Hey there MattSK123,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Why cant my computer see my iphone in windows explorer??

    It used to work a short time ago, now my computer does not see my phone as a resource in windows explorer!!   oh, itunes works fins, of course...but its only half a phone if i cant get the pictures off it!!!  help!!!!

    Sorry, my mistake. There's an equivalent article for iOS devices here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Even though it previously worked, there are several things that could be causing the issue, so your best bet is to follow steps 1-6 in that article.

  • Itunes can't see my iphone

    Itunes can not see my iphone under the devices.  Recently used Windows Parallel on my Mac but made sure to de-select the USB in the parallels application and clicked associate this device with Mac OS and not the windows os.  I have tried un-installing iTunes, reinstalled with most recent edition.  Recycled the iphone on / off.  Removed the iphone from the docking cradle to direct connection with iphone to usb and no hubs, cradles etc.... in between iphone and computer without any success.  I know the mac and itunes are working correctly because it syncs my ipad, wife's iphone 3gs and kids ipod touch without any trouble.  I looked in the hardware listing in the system preferences and the usb lists my iphone as attached.  With the iphone 4 plugged in I rebooted my mac hoping it would auto open itunes and auto sync but no luck. 

    Hello Barbara4090,
    When the iPhone unmounts from iTunes during the backup phase, it can be due to some unreadable data on the iPhone that iTunes cannot deal with. It could be data saved by a third party APP on the iPhone, but there's no easy way to determine the what data may be causing the issue.
    First try resetting the iPhone by holding down the sleep/power button and home button until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt).
    Connect to iTunes and Sync to test.
    Next would be to determine whether the issue is actually with the iPhone or the MacBook Air.
    You mentioned that you also use an iMac.
    If the iMac is running at least 10.4.11 and has a current installation of iTunes 8.0.2 on it, you can use the iMac to isolate the source of the issue.
    If you have essentially the same information on both computers, you can do this test in the existing user on the iMac.
    If you'd prefer not to intermingle any data from the iPhone you can create a new User on the iMac and test:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
    Before connecting the iPhone to the iMac, put a check in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" in the Devices section of iTunes Preferences.
    Connect the iPhone and then right-click or control-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Backup."
    If the iPhone cannot be backed up on the second computer, then it is due to some unusable data on the iPhone that cannot be backed up.
    After the test, you can delete the new User if you created one.
    If that is the case, then you may need to restore the iPhone and choose the option to restore from a previous backup at the end of the restore process:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    I would do this on the computer that you normally sync the iPhone with.
    If, on the other hand, the iMac can backup the iPhone successfully, then there is possibly an issue with the MacBook Air or it's software:

    Hope that helps,

  • HT1766 how can I see my iphone backup to my hp computer - I want to actually see some of the files on the backup to be sure it actually worked

    how can I see my iphone backup to my hp computer - I want to actually see some of the files on the backup to be sure it actually worked

    You can't see them as such.  The entire backup is stored as a database, sql file.  You can find the backup file here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You will need an sql reader to view the contents,

  • IPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S

    Even though I plug in, iPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S device.  iTunes sees it, sometimes even if it isn't plugged in, but iPhoto is not seeing it.  This also happened to a friend who repeatedly connected and disconnected until it was recognized.  That hasn't happened for me yet, and it sounds like a bug that needs fixing. 
    Anybody else have this experience?  Know a solution?  Something?

    It's a long shot but the method posted by Robin Johnson in this post might work for you:

    This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
    Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

  • Why I can't see any Firefox browser windows after I open Firefox in Mac?

    I open my Firefox as usual, but this time, I can't see any Firefox browser windows come out but only the menu bar on the top was changed into Firefox menu bar. Is there any problem with my Firefox or I accidentally activate some "hiding" function?

    I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
    * Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
    * I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.
