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.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

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.

Itouch is disabled - cannot get it to work or show up in itunes

My daughters itouch is disabled. She forgot her password. I have a new laptop and all of our other itouchs and ipads are syncing fine. This one is not being recognized. How can I get it to show up in itunes so we can reset it? Is there another way around this issue?
Thanks,
Very Frustrated Mom

Generally you'll need to plug your daughters iTouch into the computer that it was normally synced on (by normally i mean the first computer it was plugged into). Then iTunes should ask if you want to unlock it, then go throw that unlocking process and it should be done.

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?

Worst webbrowser in the history of web browsers. I cannot get FF to load any images. I have tried everything. Help or no longer using this browser.

FF just opens a black text type of webpage. Just Fing horrible. Everyone says to use you, but it's just a nightmare. Shitty. Sorry, all I seem to do Is F with browsers and anything related to FF. I stopped using FF 8 years ago and it seems as I was correct! JUNK! Can someone help me regarding just to get images from the GD internet to load? Simple, shouldn't have to go through a 45 step process to get this to work. Help or not. Not impressed at all.

iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in? I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.

Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

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

What tips have you tried so far? Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using. Also, is your phone brand new? can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?

HT4528 I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7.

I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7. It is downloaded and my phone will take me to the start up screen, but after I enter my internet information it says it "server cannot be reached."

many folks have been having activation issues in the last few hours... your issue maybe related.
best advice i've heard is to wait a while... if you cant get past the start up screen after a while then running thru the iphone ts steps is what i'd do... http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.
