Iphone 4s no longer appears on itunes

After uninstalling and reinstalling itunes several times in the past week my iphone still does not show up. I connected my ipod 4 and it shows up. I know when I first got it, it showed up but now it doesn't at all. Also, I keep having to go to different outlets in my house to recharge it. I am wondering if it's the phone itself. Any ideas? I've only had this phone for about two months. Thanks.

Thanks but I wasn't asking if WiFi is working but rather if you have tried synching with WiFi. We are trying to narrow down if it is a problem with the connection or iPhone.
First start by restarting the iPhone. Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Power buttons. Release the buttons after you see the Apple logo but not before.. This will take 10-15 seconds so be patient. After the iPhone starts, try synching again.
If that doesn't work, try the troubleshooting steps here, especially the WiFi section to see if that works: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296

My iPhone 4 no longer appears in iTunes. But it does charge. Tried most tips please help someone!

Hi there,
No I didn't. Someone suggested in another thread that my iPod was registering as a disk instead of a device, so if I removed my iPod as a disk on Disk Utility then it would reload etc. and show up in iTunes. Which it didn't, and instead just cleared all my music (16,000 songs).
So frustrating.
Hope if you have the same problem you are able to find a better solution!

Songs I have on iPhone now no longer appear with iTunes Match

I had some albums on both my Mac and my iPhone. Now with Match, the album doesn't appear on my iPhone—even though I manually had uploaded it.
Match also doesn't load up all my music: I have a mere 2,400 songs—and the last 100 songs have been a nightmare. Over 24 hours, and it still hasn't completed uploading them, even though I have high-speed internet.
Furthermore, how come playlists now appear on my iPhone—but there are no tunes in the playlist?
The IDEA of Match is great—but it's not being executed right.
Apple—HELP! Fix these problems—which should never have appeared in the first place.

I have the same problem. I have over 1500 songs that I added from my CD collections, and another 1000 songs that are downloaded. The majority of songs have not "matched" - over 1500 show as "waiting" and now I cannot access most of the music from my iphone. I am so sorry I ever added iCloud!
I tried updating the itunes software last night and the songs all reappeared in the lists under the device. But then when I left home they no longer appeared on my iphone. What is wrong with iCloud and how did Apple release this with ths many problems? This service is terrible.

Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
- Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
- Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
- Only podcasts are affected.
- This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
- The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
As I said, this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
Need Help!!!

IPhone 3G no longer appears in My Computer...can't get to my pictures!

I've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem. No one seems to be sure what to do. I've poured over the Apple Forums, Microsoft Fix It, etc. No good. Hopefully someone else has figured this out and can help me.
My iPhone 3G no longer appears in the My Computer area. When I connect, my photos are no longer downloaded to my Windows Live Photo Gallery. Everything is fine from the iTunes side...it syncs, music is fine, apps are fine. It charges just fine.
But I can't get the computer to recognize the camera side of things. In my Device Manager, there is an exclamation mark next to the iPhone under Portable Devices. I've tried uninstalling that and reconnecting.
I've tried working with the Apple Mobile Device Driver under Services, making sure it was started, restarted and set to automatic.
I found a guy here on the Apple forums who wrote:
1. Copy 4ea12.msi from C:\windows\installer\ to the desktop.
2. Right click on 4ea12.msi and select uninstall.
This will uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
Follow the instructions and close out.
3. Right click on 4ea12.msi on your desktop and select install.
This will reinstall Apple Mobile Device support.
Well, 4ea12.msi isn't even on my computer. I don't know what that means, but it's nowhere. I looked.
So, if anyone has a fresh approach that could help me, I'd be eternally grateful.
Peace

im having the exact opposite problem....my 3g is recognized inmy computer as a camera..but isnt recognized in itunes?
i have no pics downloaded from emails (as i researched this before)
the other night had same problem, had to restore phone, and re-install itunes..then no problem...but tonite trying to add new music and same thing again.
disabled iphone under imaging devices, and its only listed under usb controllers...computer recognizes it every time
there has to be a better way than restoring/reinstalling everytime?..has to be some little catch?
HELP!
FYI, i phone not being used as phone, being used as ipod, and only using wifi..has no sim installed.

can someone help me out?

No dice. See my comment above; I already turned that on before posting.
To get your device to appear in iTunes and to automatically sync with iTunes, simply disable backup to iCloud on your iOS device. Voila! Your iOS device will appear in iTunes and auto-sync the selected content. For example, I'm now subscribing to a ton of podcasts that I used to manually download one-by-one b/c the tethered syncing process was just too painful. Now that my iPhone 4S appears as an always-connected device in iTunes, the latest versions of my podcasts shall auotmatically appear on the iPhone when I awake in the morning before my long commute to work.

After syncing my music to iPhone my music only appears in iTunes as purchased rather than my music

In my iTunes I have my music organized into playlists. Before when I synced my iPod to iTunes it exactly duplicated the music / playlists exactly as they appear in my iTunes. Now I have more music than my iPod can hold at once, so I've unchecked some songs within various playlists. The problem is that after I sync my iPod, it has all the checked songs, but they're no longer organized in the playlists. Can something be done to fix this?
Delete some of your songs off of the iPod Nano to make more room.

Question: ipod no longer appears in itunes and my computer.

iPod Nano no longer appears in iTunes or in my computer. Songs are there but the device is not recognized

Okay. I was going to say....
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

IPOD no longer appears in Itunes

My Ipod is no longer appearing in Itunes. Everything was working fine last week, then all of sudden, I am no longer able to see my Ipod in Itunes.
The Ipod is running the latest firmware. It was updated with the latest Updater. Itunes is the latest version.
Unplugging, replugging does not work.
The Ipod battery is 100 % charged.
The ipod does not even appear in My Computer.
The Ipod works fine with existing songs that are downloaded on it.
The Ipod was working fine last week on the same computer. For the longest time, it was not working. Last week it worked. This week it no longer works. What is going on here?
Why would the ipod all of a sudden stop working with Itunes on my computer?
Cheers,

A USB flash drive was added to my computer.
okay, let's check on this possibility then (there's also a link to it in one of the articles that Mr Bond referenced):
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
what i'm thinking here is that it is possible that you've usually got a drive letter confusion. (so your PC doesn't recognise the ipod). but when that drive was added, it changed around the drive letter assignments. so you stopped having the drive letter confusion with the ipod (and you could recognise it again). when it was taken back off the system, the drive letter assignments changed again. so you went back to having the drive letter confusion problem with the ipod.

Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in iTunes 10.

Hi there, my Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in itunes 10.
I have looked at as many of the forums as I can and I have followed all the advice to reset Apple TV, router and PC. No joy. I have then restored Apple TV, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked router ports etc. but still no joy.
The Apple TV is connected to my network just fine (I can download movie trailers etc.), my PC is connected to the network just fine (itunes store opens and I can shop). However, the Apple TV does not appear in the devices list on the LHS of the itunes window, there is no Apple TV tab in preferences and I cannot locate my library (not listed) on the Apple TV.
Basically I have tried everything I can find to try to solve this, but no joy. Please can someone help me as this is driving me crazy?

If you've reset AppleTv, have you actually set up the sync/share computer again?
If not go to Settings>Computers and add a new library - a 5 digit code will appear for you to enter in itunes.
The top computer entry in the list syncs and streams, the others only stream. If you plan to purchase anything make sure you have an entry for sync/stream as streaming only libraries may not transfer AppletV purchases.
