Iphone not sycing with computer- not showing up or connecting to itunes

What's the problem and how do I fix it?

First, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2) by going to iTunes> Check for Updates.
If you've got the latest version, try resetting the sync history in iSync: Open up iSync from your Applications folder. Click on "iSync", and then "Preferences" and choose "Reset sync history". From there reboot your computer and your iPhone.
If not, you may want to uninstall and re-install iTunes on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224?viewlocale=en_US

  • IPod  not showing up as connected in iTunes

    I have connected my iPod Touch to my new computer.  It synched, but does not ID it in the sidebar.  It is as if it isn't there.  Please help!  Thank you.

    Is the sidebar showing?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • TS1363 My iPod Classic is frozen. it does not show up when connected to iTunes

    My iPod Classic is frozen. It will not open iTunes or show up when I open iTunes manually. How do I fix this?

    thanks. I followed all the steps but it said that itouch was unable to connect to itunes because a passcode needs to be entered first, but I'm unable to enter the passcode because the itouch is disabled and all I see is the red message Ipod is disabled. How do I get pass this message to where I can access a keypad to enter code? thanks!

  • Iphone not showing up in devices in itunes

    My iPhone is plugged into my computer, but it isn't showing up as a device in my iTunes menu down the left hand side. Why is this?

    Please give us more info, such as what OS you use (Windows/Mac/Linux), if you're running the latest iTunes; if your device has been plugged and unplugged into another USB port of your computer, and still doesn't show up; if you've tried rebooting your computer; and trying to disable your A/V when you plug in your iPhone. Also, if the battery is fully charged.
    Meanwhile, there is this.

    when i attach my iphone 4 with computer it shows one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it,now what can i do ..plz help me

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

  • Iphone 4 will not show up on computer or in itunes. After several attempts to restart, only showing image to connect to itunes. Everything is plugged and it and I have the most up to date version of itunes.

    My iphone 4 only shows image to connect to itunes. It will not come up in itunes and does not appear to be connecting to my computer. I have attempted to restart my phone numerous times but it just keeps going back to this same screen. Please help.

    Did you make a backup because you can't recover what's on our phone. Follow these steps to resotre your phone (the phone has to be plugged into your computer):
    1) On your phone, press your sleep button for 2 seconds
    2) After the two seconds, don't release the sleep and press the home button for 10 seconds
    3) Release the sleep button and keep the home buttton pressed untill your computer detects your phone.
    4) A window should pop up and you should have the restore button. Press it.

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
    Hope this helps

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • HT201269 Contacts on my iPhone not showing on my iPad

    Contact on my iPhone not showing on my iPad, how can I sync :)

    Well, you nailed that one, thank you.
    I had 3 accounts checked off: iCloud, Yahoo and "From my Mac."
    When I unchecked my Yahoo contacts from my iPhone, the contacts that were not syncing to my Mac disappeared from my iPhone - so that explains why some of my iPhone created contacts were not syncing with my Mac.
    Thanks again.
    However, this now begs some new questions:
    What is iCloud trying to tell me regarding that message in my account that says I can't review my devices unless I have iOS 8 and/or Yosemite?
    When I am creating a contact, how can I tell if it is being saved in Yahoo or iCloud accounts?
    How can tell what account a contact is associated with by looking at a previously created contact?
    How can I transfer Yahoo contacts to iCloud?
    And when I look at the accounts checked off under 'accounts' on my iPhone Contacts, what the deuce does "From my Mac" mean and imply?
    Everything used to work fine when I first set up my iPhone and my Mac.  What have I done to screw this up?  lol
