Iphone 3.0 beta 2  won't show up properly in itunes

I recently installed the 3.0 beta 2 and something odd has happened. The phone shows up under iTunes's DEVICES sidebar when I plug the phone into the USB port, but nothing happens when I click on it in the sidebar. The iPhone item is highlighted but I don't get the familiar set of tabs that lets me get a summary, sync the phone and so on.
Is there a way to fix this problem so I can sync the phone once again to my itunes library. The phone is working properly but with none of my email, calendars, contacts or music.

I bought my son an IPod touch for x-mas. he let a friend use it who has an Iphone and his friend (somehow) upgraded it to 3.0. He lost all of his music and applications. When he connects it to my computer now it will not sync. I tried to restore it but we get an error messaage. Is there anyway to restore it back like it was?

    Howdy carpetjim,
    When you change the folder location like that, it changes where new songs and media are stored. To actually load the library you need to do this:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of the following screens:
    Additional information
    If you do not see one of the screens above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.

  • Mission control won't show windows properly.

    Mission control (expose) won't show windows properly. It's really annoying when I'm working and need to see what I've got opened or switch between apps. Sometimes it'll display them correctly, other times it won't. See the 2 screenshots open 3 windows:
    1st screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0U0q1N3J0Z2f
    - chrome browser
    - finder
    - messages
    2nd screenshot:http://cl.ly/image/2F0T3o1z0e3Z
    only icons of chrome and finder are shown, but no windows. No messages not even the icon.
    I'd really love all the help you can provide.

    My problem started when the update to 10.7.5 ran. Mission Control in the Dock continued to work as before the update.
    In System Settings>Mouse, the side buttons on my Might Mouse had been changed to 'Expose - App Windows.' I  had to change the setting back to Mission Control.
    Perhaps MtnLion suffered a similar glitch.

  • TS1538 My iphone 5s won't show up on my itunes

    My phone does show up on windows when I plug it inbut not in iTunes. I've tried everything that it says to do under support as well as uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it but it still won't show up. Is anyone having the same issue? I'm using the latest version of itunes and iOS and am running windows 8.

    Hello macr888,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • Iphone won't show on computer nor itunes.

    Hey everyone, I've looked around for threads on this for a few days now but either nothing was worked or it was very outdated and still didn't work.
    To the point, my cousin bought a new iphone 3g and as a gift he gave me his iphone 2g. It worked fine but had all of his information as he didn't do anything to it but give it to me. I assume it has the newest firmware and what not as he was using it about a week ago. I plugged it into my computer but it didn't show on my computer or itunes. I installed the new itunes and while doing so tried to restore (Sleep + Home) and now it's stuck in the USB wire pointing at the Itunes symbol.
    So now it won't turn on past that last notice and still won't show up on my computer and itunes. I've tried restarting, reinstalling, restoring, everything that's pretty common at least and still nothing. The phone doesn't show up in the Device Manager either and I've tried 2 different computers and 2 different wires. I'm getting sad at this point as i want to use it! No jailbreak or unlock that I know of also if that matters. If i left anything out please let me know.
    Someone please help!
    Thanks in advance,

    i've had the same problem as narcky: screen shows usb cord with arrow pointing to itunes symbol. i've deleted and re-installed the latest version of itunes, no luck. this happened while i was trying to download the latest version of software for the iphone. i've even tried searching for the iphone in the list of usb drivers and all i get is the recovery iboot, which i dont even know what that means.also tried pressing home button and power button at same time, screen still shows cord with itunes symbol. i've tried everything, nothing seems to work. HELP?

  • Songs won't show on iphone5 but itunes on Mac says they are there.

    Hi guys,
    On my iTunes on my Mac it shows that there are songs and playlists on my iphone (both when usb plugged in and on wifi) but on the actual device they won't show. Only about 10 songs show up. There is plenty of storage space on the device and they were there before but disappeared after an update.  I've tried re-syncing and dragging them over manually but nada. Some of the playlists show but are empty on the device. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi HeyBayLondon!
    It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

  • My iPhone 5s won't show up under devices, iTunes, or iMovie. Why?

    I just set up my Mac Mini last night. It is not the newest one. But was brand new in a box. It has all updates to the newest operating system, exc.
    I plugged my iphone 5s into the Mac Mini to upload to iMovie to edit a video. But, my device wont show up. I checked Finder - Nothing. It just wont show up.
    I tried unplugging and plugging it back in, and noticed that it shows up on imovie for a few minutes like it knows it there, but it just says "Iphone 4" - The number goes up each time it back in. But it sits there with the spinning load sign for about a minute then goes blank.
    I have no idea what is going on, or why it wont read my phone.
    If anyone knows why this is happening, and how i can fix it, I would really appreciate it.
