IPhone not in iTunes after Re-install of Tiger

I had to dump Leopard because it was causing all kinds of problems on my Mac Pro. I'm starting all over with a new install of Tiger 10.4.10. You cannot believe how angry I am at Apple over this force to backtrack to Tiger.
BTAIM, I'm now re-registering all of my applications and assumed my iPhone would be recognized by iTunes when I plugged it in to the dock. Its not, naturally, so now how do I get it to show up so I can add music, movies, etc.
Again, you cannot believe how angry I am with Apple over the poor quality of Leopard.

Actually I had to reinstall iTunes and the iPhone is now recognized. I've lost everything associated with it - music, videos, contacts, notes, etc., but I didn't have to reactivate it. Account user information is probably held on the AT&T server but my iPhone personal information (pix, contacts) are still on the iPhone but I dare not turn on the syncing of individual tabs until I can get that information off the iPhone and back into iTunes.
Since the reinstall of Tiger I've had no problems with the OS at all. The upgrade to Leopard cost me an awful lot of valuable data - data I was unable to get off the main hard drive and save without the system freezing and having to start over each time. Everything from the Documents, pictures, movies, music folders were erased but the applications and their settings are all there. What aren't there are the registration codes and each time I run a third party applications I'm asked to insert those codes and register before the app can be used. Most I have in email (retained on the server) but many early or older registrations are lost and I'm forced to re-buy.
That's the price you pay for believing in Apple's ridiculous claims that their new OS is ready for prime time. I'll wait until it is 10.5.9 before I give it another try, if I do at all.

  • IPhone not in iTunes (after following all steps listed in Apple support)

    My iPhone is not appearing in iTunes, even after I followed all the steps listed in the apple support assistant. (It is still being recognized as a camera when plugged in) The steps I already tried include updating iTunes software, restarting iPhone, restarting computer, updating computer software, and choosing a different USB port...
    I have Mac OS X 10.6.3, iTunes version 10.6.3, and an iPhone 4 (without the newest software update).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Okay, now I tried to complete #5 on that webpage you just posted, and have lost iTunes...
    I followed the steps for Reinstall the Apple Mobile Service Device, but the reinstalled version is only for 10.6.8 and later. I have 10.6.3. How do I get iTunes back after I uninstalled it?

    Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

    Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

    iTunes is not working properly after the newest update...  It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store.  Anyone have a solution or an explanation?  I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works.  Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed.  After that it all went to crap.  Thanks, Randy...

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Cannot download ITunes after un-installing it

    I could not get ITunes to "acknowledge" my IPad or IPhone or IPod so when looking for advice on the forum, it was suggested to un-install ITunes and then re-install it.
    I am having difficulty as it will now not re-install.... I noticed that when un-installed each of the components, there is one that stays there even after un-installing it..... Apple Mobile Device Support.
    I need help as I have tried everything to re-install ITunes so I can synchronize my appliances.

    Since you've tried this many different times, maybe you can provide the exact error that you are getting.  Without specifics, it's difficult to offer help.
    You could also use those specific error messages to search for a solution, I'm certain there are other postings out there with a solution, if a little effort is put forth to find them.
