Iphone missing from itunes/xcode after OS upgrade

Hi all,
I've just upgraded my os from 10.5 to 10.6.3, everything went fine during the installation, it also updated my mac firmware without errors.
But now, my mac does not recognize my iphone - I'm using the same iphone, cable, usb socket as before, I tried connecting it to a different usb socket - nothing.
Note that my keyboard and mouse are connected and recognized ok (they are also connected into the usb sockets obviously...)
the iphone does, however, "light up" when connected, and the charger seems to work..
any ideas?
tnx

You are most welcome! Happy Holidays!

I download a movie in my iPhone 5 from iTunes but after finish downloading I can't open

After downloading a movie from iTunes won't open can some one tell me what happen

Hi Jlhall88,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
You can delete the movie prior to the expiration date if you want to make more space on your hard drive, iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.
What happens to my rented movie if don't watch it?
If you don't watch your rented movie, it will expire in 30 days and disappear from your iTunes library. You will need to rent it again in order to watch it.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

IPad & iPhone only play video from iTunes store after iOS7 upgrade

I just noticed that my iPad and iPhone can only play content from the iTunes store now that I have upgraded them to iOS7. They can not even play videos that my iPhone recorded before the upgraded. They are also not able to play videos that I RIPPED from DVD's using Handbrake. It had no problem playing any of this content before upgrading. I can still play the videos though iTunes just fine. And my old iPhone that is still on iOS6 plays the videos just fine. Does anyone know of a work around to get iOS seven devices to play video that is not from the iTunes store?

Thanks tried that as well as a full restore of the iPhone. This seems to be by design. ITunes will not even sync the files to the iOS7 devices now. Says the files will not be copied because they can not be played, but my iOS6 devices can sync them and play them.

How to sync music back on to iphone 4 from iTunes library after restore

Troubleshooting (this may or may not work with other Apple devices)
Step 1: Select the music you want to sync to your iphone.
You may find some are missing (flagged). When you try to play it will let you try to locate it and hopefully it should still be on your pc. Luckily for those no longer on pc I had backups on USB drive which I pasted back into iTunes media folder. Always best to keep iTunes library music in the iTunes media folder.
Step 2: Click on your device and select the summary page.
Step 3: Scroll down to options page and make sure that the only thing ticked in the options box is 'syn only ticked music and videos'.
Step 4: Whilst still on your device, select the music page and tick sync music and entire library.
Step 5: Then click sync at the bottom of the page.
All music selected and not missing (location could not found) from your iTunes library should be synced to your iphone.

Um, "slide"?
Have you tried going to this tab (see image)?
Then choose to "Sync Music" and then "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres."
Then remember to click the "Sync" button at the bottom right.

HT1937 I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone

I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!

You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.
Regards.

Sync it the same way you got it on the device to begin with.

Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
Genious Sidebar
I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC

Hello anita4323.
I hope this will help you with your problem:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

STUFF MISSING FROM ITUNES IS STILL ON APPLETV

After upgrading to iTunes 7.6, many of my QT trailers are missing from iTunes ("The movie xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"), but they are all still present and playable on my AppleTV!
How can the AppleTV continue to sync to something that isn't there?

The itunes window can in some ways be regarded as a list of alias's, providing you don't delete the alias (the entry in itunes), if I tunes can't find the original it will not delete the synced copy on the tv.
Not sure why the alias's are broken, could be because you've deleted the originals, moved the originals, chosen another location for your library in your prefs or simply because itunes thinks you have done one of these things.
If you haven't deleted them and need help relocating them just post back.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

Can't add music to iPhone 5 from iTunes 11

I am trying to manually add music to my iPhone 5 from iTunes 11. After dragging and dropping music onto the device, it appears under the music section of the device, except it is greyed out. I can't play the music, and when I check on the phone, the music isn't there.

I figured it out...
Go to the playlist on your computer that you want to add to your device.
1. Hightlight the song so you see the arrow and click on it.
2. Click "Add To" and select the device and playlist you want to add it to.
You may have to create a new playlist on the device first and THEN add the music from your computer to the device.
Or highlight all the songs, right-click on the selection, and tell it to add to the playlist on the device...

My wifes has started to do the same, the iphone 3Gs was mine, I updated it to ios 5.0.1 while still using it and it was fine. I did a backup restore of her old 3G phone and again it was find for awhile.
We noticed she doesnt have any data part of her package so we have switched off the data, since then we have this issue.
I had to install a new docking part of the phone as her mic was faulty, I did the sim out, switch on 3G and data and then sim back in. Switched the phone off and then back on. all good.
I stripped the phone down adn replaced the part. again all good. That I night my wife said Shall she turn the phone off in which I replied it should be fine. When she turned the phone on in the morning, the reboot problem was back.
I'm wondering if the problem is to do with the Data on and off. I've also noticed that when the phone is up beofre it reboots, you can pop out the sim and the signal stays the same.
When it does have a problem, she now does a quick reset from the phone which takes about 5 minutes and shes back up and running. its big pain!
Think I will get her on a data package and then try again

Apps missing from iTunes. How to recover?

Suddenly, about 2/3 of my apps are missing from iTunes. Basically anything I bought in the last 16 months or so - the apps I currently actually use! I searched the iTunes folder on my laptop and the apps are not there either. Just very old ones. I tried to re-download purchases that I had already made and I get a warning that I will have to pay for the apps. I'm besides myself frustrated right now. What am I missing in the instructions to re-download something already purchased? I dont want to re-purchase all the apps again. Help!
Is there a way to pull the apps from my phone and put them back into iTunes?
Any help is appreciated.

I can confirm that right-clicking on the iPhone or iPod and choosing "Transfer Purchases" will successfully download the installed applications back to the iTunes library.
One thing to be aware - if you click on the iPhone and then "Apps", you'll see that "Sync Apps" is UNCHECKED. DO NOT CHECK IT and resync without doing a transfer purchases first or else it will also wipe the apps from your device!

Apps missing from itunes file

My iTunes apps file was corrupted, and I restored what I could. But now a lot of the apps are missing from iTunes.
They're on my iPhone 4S, and various other Apple devices, but every time I sync my iPhone, the sync deletes the apps from my phone that it can't find in iTunes. I've re-downloaded them onto my phone, but I can't find a way to re-download them to iTunes. So the next time I sync to add music to my iPhone that I've purchased elsewhere and imported into iTunes, all those apps get deleted again. More hours spent downloading apps back to my iPhone and placing their icons where they belong. Very frustrating. And one old app that is no longer available from iTunes, but one that I use daily, is now only on my old iPod Touch - so I can no longer sync it, without totally losing that app..
This problem first started when I tried to update to iOS 8.3 from 8.2. The update failed for some "unknown reason", and I had to restore my iPhone to the backup made just before that update. The restore dumped all my apps and all my music. When I tried to re-sync my music, it only restored about 1/3 of the songs. So I've had to re-sync again, and again, trying to get all the music back on the iPhone. And every time, it dumps most of my apps.
My questions are: Is there any way to get the old, highly valued app from my iPod Touch back into iTunes on my Windows 7 PC? And is there any way to get the missing apps back in to the iTunes file on my PC from my iPhone?
