IOS devices do not appear in iTunes 11

Hello -
I have been one of those who have resisted the new itunes 11 since release. However, I recently changed my Mountain Lion installer from the original 10.8 to 10.8.3 that Apple provides - and during a recent system reinstall, wound up with itunes 11 by default. Instead of reverting to the previous version like I did after the original 11 release, I've been trying to live with 11...
However, I cannot get 11 to display my iOS devices - iphone 5, latest iPad. I have all the current updates on the iOS devices, iTunes, and OS. I've tried rebotting the devices, the computer, reinstalling iTunes. I've tried every USB port and cable - no success.
The devices show up in everything else - iPhoto, Image capture, etc - just not in iTunes.
Suggestions???

You may have the "Devices" list hidden. Have you hovered with the mouse to the right of the caption "Devices" in the sidebar, until you see the hidden text button "Sow" or "Hide"? Press "Show" - does that reveal your devices?

  • HT1386 Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2. The device do not appear in Itunes.

    Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2.
    On 3 different PC and 3 different iPad 2 when I installed iTunes 11.1 Windows Autoplay recognise the iPad but iTunes do not.
    The device does not appear in iTunes and thus neither synchronisation nor backup are possible.
    Reverting to the previous version of iTunes solved the issue.
    However with IOS 7 iTunes 11.1 is required and I am back with the same issue. Could you please help?
    Thanks and best regards

    If you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
    Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • IOS device does not appear in WIFI sync in iTunes

    It's been six years now that I had inserted the persistent ID of my main computer into iTunes of my second computer in the iTunes Library.xlm and iTunes Library.itl. So I could also copy content of the second computer via USB to the IOS device. Wi-Fi sync was ONLY activated on the main computer.This has worked for a long time, until:
    Wireless sync: After a certain update of OSX or iTunes in the past, the IOS devices no longer appeared in the main computer in the sidebar of iTunes.
    Now I wanted to undo the whole thing. The recovery of the original persistent ID of the second computer did not work. It was constantly reconstructing the persistent ID of the main computer.
    I have now reinstalled iTunes, created a new iTunes library and re-imported the audio / video data. iTunes Library now also has a new persistent ID.
    Unfortunately, it still does not work. Only when I turn off the second computer and reboot the main computer, the IOS devices via Wi-Fi sync appear in the sidebar of the main computer. Once the second computer is back online, the devices disappear from the sidebar.
    Console reported besides others duplicate entries in the application (i.e. MUX ID not found in directory mapping)
    The second computer must have noticed somewhere that iOS devices have been connected with it. But where?
    Who can help?
    PS: system on both machines = OS 10.9.4, iTunes 11.4

    Heureka! since iTunes update 12.0.1 everything is working flawlessly

How do I make the file appear so I can transfer the data / apps to my new ipad air via iTunes. Pls help...
