IPhone stopped showing up in iTunes this morning?! Help!!!

I have been trying to sync my iPhone with my computer since 8am this morning. Everyting worked fine until then, the phone has been previously synced and everything worked well. There were no installations on either system prior to this problem manifesting itself.
I have tried restarting both the phone and the computer, unplugging and re-connecting the USB cable, uninstalling reinstalling iTunes, and further re-installing my O.S. from scratch... to no avail. I am no further along than a 8am this morning.
A file named "MerpAD Sync Services" keeps finding its way into my trash bin too. Google searches seem to indicate that this belongs to Microsoft Entourage? Don't know if that matters, but it doesn't go away. I am more concerned with syncing my iPhone.
Any ideas? Help!

Ok, so here's an update:
Upon many incessant hours of screwing around I have discovered that removing the file;
home/library/preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.97B645A9-18A5-5293-ACB7-1E87ADE 038A4.plist
restores my ability to sync my iPhone, however, there are a whole slew of other problems that have reered their ugly heads. Desktop icons keep disappearing, iTunes can't seem to find its music folder and tells me to look where it already is, Apple DVD player gives me an "error: -108".
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure thing bro, no problem. I assume your running Windows 7 or 8? So for me I had to update the iphone drivers.
First, open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound then devices and printers look for your apple iphone under the "Unspecified Devices" tab, Right click on it, choose properties, after that you'll choose the hardware tab to the right of the box that opens. When you click on hardware, choose properties again toward the bottom. Then you'll choose settings, after that you should see the Driver tab, 2nd one. Click that and choose update driver, then browse my computer for driver software, after that you'll want to navigate to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click Ok. The driver should update and all should be good after that. Matter of fact, here is the article i used. Good luck dude!!

IPhone stopped showing up in itunes

I recently updated itunes to the newest one and did some software updates on my computer. After doing these my iphone only is showing up as a camera, and does not come up in itunes. I reinstalled itunes but it still does not show up. Does anyone know of anything i can do?

If restarting apple mobile device does not work, you might need to completely remove itunes and reinstall.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

If you are unable to restore your iPhone with iTunes without having to enter the passcode, you will not be able to update your iPhone's backup. You will need to place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes and you can restore from the most recent backup available.

Hi, Shadiamond Murray.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

IPhone not showing up in iTunes 8.2.1

I downloaded the new version of iTunes 8.2.1, and now my iPhone 3G is not showing up in iTunes.
Please help. is there anyway I can fix this problem? Can I download an old version of iTunes on Apple's website? Or is there another website someone can recommend?
Thanks.

That seems to have done the trick. I had restarted the computer after the update, obviously, but hadn't done so after restarting the iPod Touch. Thanks!

Help! When I opened iTunes this morning all my CD downloads and playlists are gone!

I tried to Update my Itunes this morning and I now get Runtime Error R6034

I have tried to Upgrade Itunes this morning and all I am getting now is Runtime Error R6034 can Anyone Help ??

Am assuming that the upgrade didn't complete which was what happened to me and that now you get this message everytime you start Windows. I use Windows7
Apple has published a fix at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3074.
In it they suggest the issue may be caused by a bad installation of a version of Microsoft's .NET Framework.
Find this somewhat preposterous for the simple reason that all was well until the attempt to load the new upgrade of iTunes. For Apple's suggestion to hold true it can only mean that none of my other applications make any use of MS.NET Framework, which I very much doubt.
Performed the fix for Windows7 prescribed by Apple, namely downloaded and ran Microsoft's .NET Framework taking the 'Repair' option when prompted. When Repair completed successfully you have to shut down and restart Windows to make the repaired software available. Did this and on restart lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
Did a search of the Registry for 'R6034' but not found.
Being unsure what was issuing the message deleted iTunes and restarted the system.
Again lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
Had been away from my computer for several weeks, and as the only upgrade actioned since my return was the problem iTunes carried out a Sydney Restore. This got rid of the R6034 message, everything worked fine, and when I shut down Microsoft automatically reinstalled all its upgrades after the Restore point.
Then moved to put back the iTunes upgrade prior to the current one, and ITunes stopped me in my tracks by halting the reinstall because "A later version of the program had been installed".
Appreciate that this doesn't do much for you Barry, but as I see the iTunes upgrade as the problem, I'm hoping firstly that someone from iTunes will read this and firstly, provide more support than it has to date, and secondly, for those who want to pass up on the upgrade allow them to reinstall the previous version of ITunes.
Cheers.

Why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes

why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes when I plug it into my computer

Since you got a new MBP, does it have Lion or Mountain Lion, and what version of iTunes?
If current it should see the iPhone. If it will not, try attaching in recovery mode, start iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable to the iPhone...should put it in recovery mode and iTunes should then see it.
Don't go to restore from backup since you don't have that on this computer. You can backup and update the iOS.

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Iphone keeps showing connect to itunes logo

Put the iPhone into DFU mode. Open iTunes on computer you usually sync with and connect the phone. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iTunes recognizes an iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then just recover from the last backup.
