Iphone no longer shows up on itunes

New I phone 3gs initially worked when imac was using OS 10.4.1.1 and worked on mac books running 10.5.8. I updated the Imac to 10.5.8 and now the Iphone is not recognized by the itunes, instead when the iphone is plugged in, the computer thinks that it is a phone and syncs it to iphoto and tries to download photos. Tried restarted computer and iphone, no change. My wife's iphone was synced to imac and now has same problem. when i plug iphone into mac book, it recognizes the iphone, unfortunately, the iphone is registered with the imac so can't do much with the mac book.

It is supposed to connect to iphoto.
This is how you get pics that you take with iphone onto the computer.
Have you tried re-installing itunes on top if the current itunes?

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)
Regards, Malcolm

now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

Original iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes 9.2 for Mac

My iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. Do I need to upgrade or uninstall something?
iTunes: 9.2
iPhone Version 3.1.2 (7D11) Model: MB384LL
OS: 10.5.8

Same here. Brand new 3GS running 3.1.3. Activated with iTunes 9.1 on Mac, updated iTunes to 9.2, Software Update was unable to complete "Registering updated system components". iTunes 9.2 works properly, besides it doesn't show my iPhone.

How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up in iTunes?

All of a sudden my iPhone doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable it does on my MacBook. I have tried plugging it in diretly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first pluged in.
Does anyone know why when plugging in the iPhone 3G or my iPod Classic (old school) it won't load on the side bar of iTunes? It is like it does not exist. I have done all updates. I restarted my computer a couple of times and finally got the iPod Classic to load but still the iPhone 3G shows nothing. It won';t even boot my phone up to charge it but will the iPod.
I use the iPhone on my MackBook with the same cord and it loads to iTunes and starts to sync. Same with the iPod. Both computers are running the same software. Since it works on the MacBook and use to work on then iMac G5 I am thinking it may have something to do with the updates for iTunes. I use the MacBook to charge the iPhone and iPod sometimes but the main computer for syncing is the iMac. Only nothing seems to work. After restarting the iMac several times the iPod seems to work then not work. I am frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone no longer shows up as a hard disk for photo transfer

When I used to plug in my iPhone it would show up in the My Computer page as an external disk. If I clicked through the folders I could easily move pics from my phone to the computer. I had already shut off the auto open feature of the program select.
Not sure why my iPhone no longer shows up. It shows up fine with iTunes

Greetings,
The iPhone won't work as an external disk, never has, by default. It will show up in iTunes, it is supposed to there, but not on your desktop.
Are you thinking of an iPod Touch, maybe? Maybe you have a phone that was tampered with, maybe?
There are third party apps that might do what you are talking about.
Cheers,
M.

IPhone no longer showing up in (My) Computer and photos no longer synching

I recently switched from a desktop to a laptop, both of which run Vista Ultimate. The desktop synched fine but the laptop will not sync pictures. I noticed that the desktop shows the iPhone in Computer as a camera but the laptop does not.
I have:
1. Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes in numerous ways
2. Manually deleted all references to Apple, Apple Computer, Quicktime and iTunes from the registry and all folders off of the hard drive
3. I have done a soft and hard reset of the iPhone
4. I have restored the iPhone to factory from within iTunes
I know it has something to do with it not showing up in Computer. And if I delete the iTunes driver from Device Manager and tell it to delete the driver from the hard drive, the PC then detects the iPhone as a camera and it shows up in Computer but it no longer shows up in iTunes and I cannot manually copy any files to it
Any suggestions would be apprectiated!!

I fixed it!
You have to go into your Pictures folder and delete the iPhone Photo Cache folder....then it will recreate it and successfully sync!!
It still does not show up in My Computer but I think if I reconnect my iPOD and enable Disk-Access, that that may resolve that small problem as well

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed?

I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?

Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

My iPhone is not showing up in iTunes, or Windows Explorer.

I have looked around searching and tried to uninstall everything that had anything to do with Apple and iTunes. Nothing worked. I also have gone into the computer managment and stopping and starting the apple managment and iPod service. Still, nothing worked. My iPhone will not show up in iTunes, nor Windows Explorer, when I plug it in I can hear the sound that when a device gets plugged into the computer.

It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.

AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?

If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.
