Iphone not showing in itunes

im getting this message now when i plug in my iphone into itunes!
"This iphone can not be uses because the required software is not installed.
run the itunes installer to remove itunes and reinstall itunes."
ive looked on other forums and came apon this txt "you need to make sure file called iTunesMobileDevice.dll is in this folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin
you probably moved this file instead of copy and pasting it. Just search your computer for iTunesMobileDevice.dll (or navigate to the folder on your computer where it is located), copy it, then paste it in the above directory and you should be good to go. (I initially made this same mistake and got this same error)."
this helped one person but i do have the DLL file in that directory.
so any one have an idea why itunes is telling me to uninstall and reinstall, tho i have done this several times with no success.

Have you tried asking in the iPhone forums? I don't have an iPhone, but everyone there probably does.
You could also try using a different USB port.

  • After ios7 update iphone not showing in itunes on iMac as device

    After running latest iphone (4s) update & having the latest itunes update on my iMac the iphone device is no longer showing in itunes. I have checked the USB & changed ports however this does not appears to be the problem as iphone still charging when plugged in. Without this showing as device I have no way to Sync anything.

    Hey Loxwood,
    I found a few documented troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone doesn't appear on your Mac:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Apps on iphone not showing in itunes

    i downloaded a few apps onto the phone and [after a lengthy back up], they're not showing up in itunes [apps folder or in the list of apps when iphone is connected]. they're also not in the itunes mobile folder in the home folder.
    i "tested" re-downloading an app in itunes and it did say that i've already purchased it [so i didn't actually repurchase it]. but it's nowhere on my macbook -- just on the phone.
    i've authorized computer, checked for purchases, and rebooted everything. ideas?

    If you downloaded some apps, they should show up in your Library Applications selection. When your iPhone is connected, select the phone and check the Applications tab in the main library window. You should see your apps there. Try a manual sync of just the apps from the Application window. Your Apps will show up individually on the phone. I had to play around with mine a little to get them on the Phone. Now they are working fine. You can add or take them away by turning the checks on and off and syncing. I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck.

  • Backed up iPhone not showing in iTunes

    I backed up my iphone before getting a new one but when I connect it to iTunes the back up does not show. Is there any other way to get the back up?

    All backups are stored in iTunes from Edit > Preferences > Devices. If you dont see it there. you're doing it wrong. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!

    I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
    - I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
    - Mac Pro early 2008
    - Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
    - iTunes 8
    Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
    And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
    Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
    However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
    It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
    What is going on??
    I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
    Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
    The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?

    // Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
    Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
    I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
    The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
    After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
    I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
    Very happy to finally have found a solution.
    If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
    Good luck!

  • Purchases on my iphone not showing in itunes

    after purchasing a an album on my iphone they aren't showing up in my purchases when logging in to itunes on my laptop?

    This is one of many reasons why maintaining a backup stored on an external drive or some other external media is so important - regardless the age of a computer or a computer's hard drive. Anything else of any importance that you lost - as in you don't include your iTunes library or at least purchases from the iTunes Store with your backup?
    Apple includes an alert/warning message about maintaining a backup for iTunes Store purchases after a purchase is made. I assume this notice/warning was ignored along with all the other irritating pop-up warnings provided with XP and Vista?
    It is your responsibility to maintain a backup of your important data including iTunes Store purchases.
    You can try contacting Apple Store customer service, which can be done via email, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • IPhone still not showing in iTunes

    Yes, I know this is mentioned on the forum and Apple's support pages but I still cannot get my iPhone to show in iTunes after having done step bt step procedures such as:
    Updating iTunes (I have the latest version)
    Uninstalling iTunes and all associated programs that appear in the add/remove programs list/reboot/clean registry/reboot/re-install (installs with no errors)Disabling Antivirus and firewall
    Restarting PC and iPhone
    Disabling all but essential services to eliminate conflicts
    Plugging into different USB ports
    My iPhone 3Gs is not jailbroken, has about 15 apps installed, all from iStore. _It used to connect in iTunes with no problems_ but it would seem that updating iTunes a while back perhaps caused this. I don't know. The phone is visible in Windows and I can browse the photo's on the device from Windows.
    What I do notice is that immediately plugging the iPhone into the PC, iTunes hangs for about 30-60 seconds and then is fine again. If I remove the iPhone during this hanging period, iTunes immediately "unhangs".
    I have a state of art custom built PC with Win 7 64bit Pro.
    What else can I do?

    Dear friends,
    Sorry to take your time. Two days ago I started having a problem with my laptop which is a Hp g70 with windows vista. My screen suddenly became black and the colors were distorted. I managed to sort it out with Aero glass a software (windows) . Each time I open Itune I get this problem, each time i use aero to clear it out. I noticed also that itune has stop recognising my iphone. I have changed ports, uninstall, reinstall itune nothing happened. I have run a scan and it came out that there is a software missing that itune is not properly installed. I have repair the installation but nothing good. When i open itune my screen just changes color and i can't see nor read anything. It's funny Itune do detect my ipod but no my iphone. Please anyone has got an idea to share or might had the same problem in the past. I want to delete itune from my pc but so that my pc runs ok. But without itune your iphone and ipod are dead.
