IPhone does not show up as device, unless.....

My iPhone often does not show up as a device in iTunes (Mac version) unless I turn wifi off, then back on.  When I do this, he iPhone appears as a device.  My iPad always shows up as a device.  It's only the iPhone that's a problem. 

Occassionally if a picture is saved from an email, an MMS or copied from a website, it has had the tendency to create an error when trying to import the pictures from the camera roll. If that is the case on phone "B", then it is suggested that you email the offfending photos and then delete them from the camera roll. Once that is done, most will then appear in Windows. Not sure if this is the case for you, but that is generally the first fix.

  • IPhone does not show up under devices on my hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. At one time, my iPhone did show up under devices on my hard drive until I did something really stupid and deleted it.  It has never shown up since.  Any help out there?  (It shows up in iTunes just fine.)

    Is your iPhone fully charged? If not, it will not upload to PhotoStream, to save energy.

    Is iTunes running, when you connect your iPhone? Quit iTunes, before you connect your phone.

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    Restart apple services. Disconnect iphone.  On windows, go to start menu, search "services", select services, select Apple Mobile Devices, Stop it and then Start it.  Connect iphone and try again. 

  • I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

    I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

    Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did  and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
    I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery.   I can go back to the IStudio  here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be.  Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

  • HT1296 replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and i cannot sync

    replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and I cannot sync

    You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard.  iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6.   So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running.  A G5 is a PowerPC.  Intel is Intel.
    Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
    What version of iTunes do you have?
    Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine?   Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

  • My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices

    I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
    Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
    Thank you.
