IPhone 3G(S) wont show up in iTunes after installing Snow Leopard

I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 yesterday and now when I plug in my iPhone 3G(S) it wont launch iTunes and wont show up in iTunes when I open it.
It launches and shows up in iPhoto with no problem?
Any hints on what to do?

This is now fixed after I installed the update to Snow Leopard 10.6.4

  • My iphone 4 won't show up in iTunes after installing snow leopard

    My iPhone 4 won't show up after snow leopard has been installed. I just updated iTunes to 10.5.3 (3). the Macbook pro does recognize the device in iPhoto and I can sync the photos. But no connection is made with iTunes. I've read something about it on the support forums, but I'm not sure what to do for fear of losing data either on my phone or on iTunes. Can you help?
    Thanks

    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 wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

    Hello:
    For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
    I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
    Can anybody help?

    Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

  • Ipod wont show up in itunes after installing update

    okay so i hadn't updated my ipod in a couple of months (bad i know but we have really slow internet here and it takes forever to download things) then i downloaded the update a couple of days ago and it started installing then came up with an error saying it failed.
    It was late at night so i just switched off my laptop and went to bed, and the next morning i tried to turn on my ipod and it was stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I plug it in it comes up with a box saying "Windows needs to install device driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" I clicked the locate and install device driver software, but it can't find anything.
    It wont come up in itunes and i've tried the restoring thing, but it's not working...maybe i'm doing it wrong? idk help anyone?

  • After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

    After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
    Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

    Try the following:
    1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
    Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
    2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

  • Iphone won't show up in itunes after installing latest itunes update

    I just installed the latest version of iTunes.  Now it won't recognize my iPhone 4.  It shows up as a camera on my computer (Windows XP Pro) but no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to see the iPhone.  Any ideas?
    thanks.

  • My iphone 5s won't show up in itunes after the 11.1.4 update. How do I connect it so I can sync music again?

    It's been about three weeks since I was able to connect my phone to itunes. When I connect my phone to my computer, it will show up on the desktop, and I can sync my photos, but itunes doesn't recognize it. I've tried removing and downloading itunes three times, and have restarted my phone and nothing's changed. I know there's nothing wrong with the usb cable or my phone. I'm pretty confindent that it has something to do with the 11.1.4 update. Does anybody know how this can be fixed?

  • Ipod wont show up in itunes after i restore to factory settings

    My ipod does not show up in my itunes list but it shows up in my computer as a drive
    it all started when i got my ipod back after getting it fixed ( it was a problem with the battery) well it said that i needed to restore the factory settings so i did then a message came up and said your ipod is now restarting it will come back to your iptunes list after it has restarted.... but it didnt
    and now when i plug my ipod in i get a bubble come up that says:
    "windows was unable to save all the data for the file F:\iPod_control the data has been lost the error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or netowrk connection please try and save this file elsewhere"
    i have done everything i can to try and fix this (5 R's and such) but i have gotten no results
    please help quickly as i use my ipod all the time and cant function without it =]

    I have a similar issue.
    Mine shows in iTunes and in PC. It will also allow me to sync.
    But when I do sync, it runs fine for about 10 minutes, then I get an error similar to yours with a directory location. It keeps syncing and will periodically show the errors. Then it will lock up.
    I have run chkdsk, awindows utility (chkdsk [driver letter]: /R /F) over the iPod when it has been restored and it found nearly 400mb of bad sectors.
    I though this would fix the problem but is has not. When I run chkdsk over it again, it does not find anymore bad sectors (it does however tell me that it has 400mb of bad sectors logged.)
    I am banging my head against a wall trying to fix this, or even find out what the issue really is. I assume it is a dodgey hard drive, but I do not want to replace it and still have the problem.

  • My iphone 5 is not showing up in itunes after downloading new itunes

    Is there a fix? Thanks

    See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • After installing snow leopard my external hard drive won't show up on screen or backup

  • How to keep all my itunes after install of leopard?

    Assume I am not all that when it comes to macs. Not new but rusty.
    I have tiger with itunes and it has loads of podcasts/albums(rips) etc, and also on my ipod touch. I would like some help as to how do I keep all this after I install leopard. I think I am going for a full install rather than an upgrade.
    The mac is an imac with pre-installed tiger. I am sure there is some way of keeping my itunes folder after i wipe the drive but have never done anything beyond fill up ipods with stuff.
    I thank you in advance for any pointers.

    Hi,
    I would suggest backing up your entire iTunes Music folder to an external hard drive or disk if the folder size is practical. To retain your playlists for reimport later on, open iTunes, select the Music Library and choose File->Export Library then save it off system along with the back up.
    I recommend using Terminal to back up your iTunes Music folder because Finder's drag and drop can sometimes corrupt copied files, particularly when the directory is large. Suppose you've connected a firewire or usb external hard drive and you can see it mounted on your Desktop, here's what I would do using Terminal (/Applications/Utilities):
    Open the directory ~/Music/iTunes/
    Open Terminal and type the command scp -r. Now drag in the folder iTunes Music (your copy source). Next drag in the external drive mounted on your Desktop (your copy destination). The Terminal window should now read something similar to this, press Return to start the copy process:
    scp -r ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music /Volumes/External HD
    When the process is complete the command prompt will return back to you. If you want to see the copy in progress change scp -r for scp -v -r. The -v makes the process verbose.
    I'm with you on choosing a clean install, i choose this method every time for upgrades. Archive and Install presents the possibility of dragging old conflicts back into a clean system.
