Iphone not showing up in itunes but it is showing up as a device on my computer

Before when I plugged my iphone 4S into my computer it said it had a problem with the device's hardware and wouldn't show up in my itunes. Now it has gone away after I updated my computer and it is still not showing up in my itunes. I have looked at the Device tab and Music tab. It is not showing up. Oddly it will not charge either. Is there something that I need to update with my phone? I did the third party check from itunes and it did not work.

I describe how you fix it here

  • Iphone not being recognised by itunes, but being recognised as camera.

    I've updated everything, restarted my computer, restarted in services... it's being recognised as a camera folder, but not coming up in itunes. I need to download some apps using my computer, as my iphone has changed it's app store to China, but itunes has kept it as England, which means I cannot download apps without itunes.

    I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
    I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
    anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

  • My new Iphone 5 won´t install applications from the cloud. It shows them in itunes but it refuses to sync with new device

    I upgraded from Iphone 4 to a new Iphone 5.
    I transfered all my info succesfully, but my aplications wont work properly: Viber speaker seems disconnected, I am not able to install new apps.
    I´ve restaured and tried to start from scratch, but this time my apps wont even sync.
    Some of my apps show in itunes, but I can´t find the way to sync via Itunes, i dont find the part where it says "allow this new device to install" or something like that.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Thanks a lot!
    One more thing please:
    The only way I am able to install apps in my new Iphone 5 is via Itunes (my computer), I dont seem to be able to download apps from my Iphone.
    In every attempt the phone asks for my password for my Apple ID, which I provide correctly ... and then ... nothing. I hope you can give a hand here.
    Thanks in advance

  • My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

    My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
    Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
    The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

  • HT1539 the movie uploaded to my itunes but it wont show in my movie folder when i want to add it to my iphone. how do i get it into my iphone

    how do i transfer my movie to my iphone. its showing up on itunes but it wont show up when i want to put it on my phone

    I FIGURED IT OUT. THANK FREAKING GOD!
    This is what I did:
    I went to control panel and unistalled iTunes completely, then I installed 10.6.3
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes which you can find here
    It came up with an error saying that my library had beed used with a more updated verision, basically had to upgrade. I installed iTunes 10.7
    After it had installed and iTunes was running I hooked up both my iPhone and my flash drive, I have more than 1 usb port I figure most computers do now, and by the time and date in the bottom right corner a small icon came up showing that I had devices hooked up. It showed both my iPhone (but did not know what it was) and my flash drive. If you right click on the iPhone it has the option to Troubleshoot it. I did it and my iPhone 5 now FINALLY SYNCS!
    I'm sooo happy now.

    How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts., How do i sync an audio book that i purchased in Itunes to my Iphone? It shows up in Itunes but not on my Iphone podcasts.

    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

    How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • IPhone won't show up in itunes but does show up in iphoto (?)

    So my iphone won't show up in itunes, but is recognized by iphoto.
    I did recently sync the music on the phone with another itunes on a windows pc because I was getting on a flight and wanted to hear the show that I had just seen and downloaded. Could that be the issue?
    I figured when I got home I would just re-sync it to my own itunes and it would just delete what I had already listened to but no such luck. It is not even recognized: itunes could not open iphone due to unkown error.
    I've already used the troubleshooter, and have restarted etc. Any ideas?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Try another usb port or this:
