Iphone 3GS does not show as iTunes Device

I've followed all instructions and the troubleshooter and my Iphone 3GS still does not show in Itunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro with Lion installed.  Any suggestions?

I tried a different cable and the iphone now shows up so I believe my cable had failed. Hope this is help to others troubleshooting a similar problem.

  • Iphone 3gs does not show in itunes

    Recently my iphone 3gs intermittently (mostly not) shows under devices in itunes (10.4) on my imac (10.6.8). I tried restart on computer and iphone, different USB, removing then reinstalling itunes. Sometimes it shows up then disappears in the middle of synch, mostly doesn't show up at all with connection.

    Hi there,
    The question that I want to ask can you try device on other computer? Best choise to isolate issue is with iPhone or computer/os.

  • IPhone 4 does not show in iTunes on Windows

    Complicated one here for everyone, I got my sister a Windows XP Pro on a Dell laptop (here in refered to as Dell) for Christmas.  She wants to use Dell to sync her iPhone 4 running 4.2.8 but when she plugs it in it is only detected as an image device, but not in iTunes.  Here are some details about what has been done so far.
    Computers in use and short names:
    my computer: MacBook Pro X.7.3.11D36 Dev (Macbook)
    iTunes 10.5.2 (MacTunes)
    attached to my itunes account
    running as admin
    her computer: Windows XP Pro on Dell (Dell)
    Started with iTunes 10.4.? updated to:
    iTunes 10.5.1 (downloaded this evening)(DellTunes)
    attached to sister's itunes account
    running as admin
    When given to sister, could not import itunes libary from old windows xp computer to this one, so libary is fresh, music from the old itunes music folder
    family computer: iMac X.7.3.? (FamilyMac)
    iTunes 10.5.? (familyTunes)
    attached to sister's itunes account
    running as limited w/parental controls
    Device info and short names:
    her cell: iPhone 4 Verizon running 4.2.8 (here in called 4)initiallized and formated from FamilyMac
    my current cell: iPhone 4s Verizon running 5.0.1 (4s)initilized and formated on Macbook
    my old cell: iPhone 3g ATT running 4.2.1 or 2 (3g)initilized and formated on Macbook
    Who works where:
    4,4s,3g all initialized and last synced on FamilyMac, Macbook, Macbook respectivly
    4,4s,3g all detect as normal on MacTunes
    4,4s do NOT detect as normal on DellTunesDoes appear as an image device on Dell.  software built into XP, much like image capture on Mac
    3g DOES detect as and has been backed up to DellTunes
    Following attempts have been tried and failed
    plugged in 4 into Dell
    disabled auto launch of image device software on Dell for 4
    replugged in 4
    plugged 4 into Macbook, showed up as normally expected
    plugged 4s into Dell, does not show in DellTunes, does auto open image device software
    downloaded and installed latest iTunes for Windows XP
    plugged 4 and 4s into Dell, same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
    ran itunes diagnostics, all settings reported fine except for detecting plugged in ipod/iphone
    manually disabled and reabled ipod support service as stated in the help document linked to in 8
    replugged 4 into Dell, same results as before
    set msconfig to all off except for anything itunes related.  applyed to both services and startup programs
    repeat steps 7-10
    plugged 3g into Dell, shows in Delltunes as normally expected
    backed up 3g to Delltunes to conferm data would transpher.  backup susessful.
    removed 3g and replugged 4 into Dell, 4 gave same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
    set msconfig to normal mode
    replugged 3g into Dell, looked in device manager, shows under image devices and USB devices.  Under USB devices shows as Apple moble device
    switched to 4, looked again in device manager, only shows under image devices
    gave up for the night and posted this
    *note many times steps would be repeated a few times under both sister's account and admin's account on Dell, as well as a few reboots.
    The confusing part is that the 3g works fine but not 4 or 4s.  I would understand if itunes was older than that cellphone version but iTunes is as recent as possible.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong and what would fix it?

  • IPhone 6 does not show in iTunes when using WiFi

    My iPhone 6+ shows up in iTunes when connected via USB. But if I disconnect the cable and turn off iTunes and then come back later it does not show up like my iPhone 5 did using OS 7.
    I have the option selected in iTunes to "automatically connect using WiFi".
    I have tried turning off my phone and restarting iTunes but it does not help.
    Any suggestions?

    Greetings Paul,
    It sounds as though you are attempting to sync with iTunes via WiFi, and are running into some complications. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes WiFi sync:
    Sync using Wi-Fi
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
    When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
    The iOS device is charging.
    iTunes is open on the computer.
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    While the iOS device is in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, please try these steps.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • My iphone 3gs is not showing in itunes

    my iphone has suddenly stopped showing as a device in itunes when i plug into pc. my pc recognises the iphone but it doesnt appear in itunes. i have the most up to date version of itunes. i have folloed the recommended steps from apple but they dont work, does any one have a solution?

    when all else fails, take it to the apple store. They are very helpful and are fast! My iphone 4 is now acting up. It said it needed to restore to connect, so I restored it. Now it is saying that there is no sim card, ugh. I will be making my way to the apple store very shortly.....

  • IPad does not show in iTunes devices

    I wanted to install iOS 4.2 but cannot get my iPad recognized on iTunes.
    When I plugged the iPad into the MBP I get an OK tone as usual.
    It has been connected successfully in the past.
    I have restarted both my MacBook Pro and iTunes in different orders.
    My AppleTV shows up on devices every time.
    Harold

    I have tried everything and still iTunes will not recognize the iPad. From the other complaints it seems this is a big problem for many of us.
    My problems started when the iTunes v10 was introduced. I still use 9.2.1. I am waiting because I have an AppleTV1 and wanted to see how it effects others with the first version. I really like my older AppleTV and have many items loaded.

  • Music on iPhone 5 does not show in iTunes

    I want to take all of the music off my iPhone 5 and put different music on, but in iTunes there is nothing listed when I select the music tab on the phone. I know there is music on there so I'm not sure why the list is empty.
    Also, I have loads of music on my mac, some of which is not mine, how do I stop music downloading to my phone via iCloud? My boyfriend has horrible taste in music and his stuff keeps playing on my phone when it is in shuffle!
    Thanks

    Try the iTunes "Transfer Purchases" menu item. This will transfer music purchased through iTunes on your iPhone to your computer.

  • Iphone 5s does not show under my devices on iCloud  after it was stolen

    After my iPhone 5s was stolen I tried locating by logging into my iCloud account through my friends iPhone. The first night it showed offline (I assume it's because it was off). Next day when I tried to locating it again it read "no devices"  "setup instructions". I don't know if I did something wrong and perhaps deleted/erased my device accidently from my iCloud account. Please help. What can i do?

    If you're on Windows read this support article.
    If on Mac, read this one.

  • My iPhone 3GS does not charge with any device. It suddenly won't even be recognized by Windows (Code 52 error) and it won't charge. It seems to boot if a charger if plugged in.

    A dock won't work, I'm not sure if it's charging while it's off.

    Working again (I took it to my local Geinus Bar the next day.)

  • My ipad does not show in itunes devices again i keep having to reinstall itunes, my ipad does not show in itunes devices again i keep having to reinstall itunes

    I keep fixing this problem and it keeps returning. It happened to ipod touch also.  Batteries are charged.  10.2.2.14 itunes

    It may have something to do with a conflict with any antivirus or security software that you may be running. I don't know if you've read this, but here is Apple's support article for Windows. You say you keep fixing the problem - I assume you mean by reinstalling iTunes?
