IPhone will not appear as device in iPhoto

All of a sudden my iPhone 5 will no longer appear as a device in iPhoto 9.5.1
I just want to import photos to iPhoto from my iPhone - I've been doing this for years!
Ideas?

With the iPhone connected move the cursor to the right of "Devices" and click on Show:
Then the iPhone should be visible.

IPhone will not appear in iTunes on Windows 7 (64) no matter what I do.

Ok, so I recently updated my PC to Windows 7 (64), and set everything up again using Windows Easy Transfer. Originally iTunes installed using the version which the Apple Downloader picked up and was working reasonably okay. However, whilst I was playing around with the PC, I noticed that iTunes was installed in "Program Files (x86)". So i figured it must've installed the 32 bit version of iTunes on the PC instead, so off I went and uninstalled and installed the 64 bit version from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1047
During that installation, I noticed it too installs to the x86 directory so I ignored it. However, this is where the fun started. At first I noticed that as soon as I plugged in my iPhone 4, iTunes would freeze up, effectively going into a "Not Responding" mode. This would rectify however immediately after unplugging the iPhone.
So after a few attempts and getting the same result, I started searching the web for a solution. After which I tried the following: Deleting the USB drivers and attempted re-install. Drivers were deleted successfully, however once clicking on "Check for hardware changes" the Apple Device never again showed up. I then opened iTunes again, plugged in the iPhone again, and now noticed that iTunes no longer froze, however the iPhone did not appear. From this point, here is a list of all the things I have done, from both folowing the support (http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/) and other people's advice:
- Tried a different USB port.
- Uninstalled all Apple drivers.
- Uninstalled all Apple Software, including Apple Mobile Device, Apple
Automatic Update & Quicktime.
- Searched the registry and removed all references for iTunes.
- Deleted all iTunes folders from the computer.
- Deleted AppData temporary folder from my profile.
- Turned off and restarted the iPhone.
- Checked for software conflicts.
- Restarted the computer after each change.
- Reinstalled Apple Automatic Update from a fresh download.
- Reinstalled iTunes using the Automatic Update application.
From here I started iTunes again and plugged in my iPhone. This time however I got a message saying something along the lines of "cannot connect iPhone, required software is not installed, this is a 32bit version of iTunes, please uninstall and reinstall the 64bit version of iTunes (this is a little confusing as I learnt earlier that you cannot install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine as you get an error during installation).
So, again. I uninstalled all of iTunes and associated software, downloaded the 64bit version of iTunes again - thinking the original version of the EXE was corrupted somehow during the download. After reinstalling, I plugged in my iPhone. It showed that the device drivers were installing, however at some point they failed. I then went back into device manager and uninstalled the USB driver and clicked on "check for hardware changes". This time the iPhone was found and appeared to install the drivers successfully when I plugged the iPhone back in... but low and behold, the iPhone was still not showing up in iTunes.
I have spent a good few hours on this, and am getting pretty frustrated. Does anyone on here have an ACTUAL fix for this problem?
The only thing I haven't done is do a factory reset of my iPhone, which I'nm hesitant to do, as I haven't had a chance to "export my purchases" off the handset to the PC as yet.
Cheers,
Steve
PS: Just out of interest, the iPhone still connects perfectly fine on my work (XP) machine.

I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

Iphone does not appear in device list in itunes?

Cant sync my iphone

I have two iPhones (iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) & 4.3.4 (8K2)) that do not appear in iTunes. For both phones, I have followed all steps at
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
except re-installing iTunes which seems like a ridiculous thing to do. I have updated my iMac to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) and have the latest iTunes 10.4 (80). Also, my two iPhones do not appear in iPhoto 9.1.5 (615) either.
Since I rebooted my iMac I'd assume that is similar to your advice to stop and restart services.
Any further suggestions?

TS4006 Contacts entered on iPad /iPhone will not appear on Mac but do on each other. Contacts entered on Mac do appear on all three

Contacts entered on iPad and iphone5 will not appear on Mac but do appear on each other. Contacts entered on Mac do appear on iPad and iPhone ?

Hi denctanner,
I did read the post. I was simply explaining that Contacts does not sync with the OTA Sync function, it syncs via iCloud if you want to sync wirelessly....
The OTA Sync option on the Info page has nothing to do with the iCloud syncing of your Contacts....
Try deleting your iCloud account on your iPhone and signing on again. Once you have signed iCloud back on, make sure all the options you want checked are checked, and then try it again. (When you delete it, you will get a message that it will delete your Photo Stream and Document but don't worry, when you sign back on, they will come back).
Cheers,

HT4623 my iPhone will not appear in the iTunes bar.

i have already updated to the latest version of iTunes, and even unplugged the phone to try to restart the process of discovery.

Hello Georgina,
It sounds like your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes as expected. I recommend either of these troubleshooting articles depending on the version of your operating system:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Iphone will not appear in itunes at all

Recently, I partook in a method to finally get my iPhone 6 to appear in Windows Explorer so that I could import my photos on it to my laptop. When I did that, I set it to automatically open Windows to my phone's folder. But now, it won't appear in itunes anymore! I've restarted both my laptop and my iPhone several times, and uninstalled my iPhone from my laptop's Driver Manager and reinstalled it several times. I don't know what else to do! Can someone help please?

Nope, I tried several of those and they didn't work. I think the key behind my issue has to do with how my iphone now appears when listed as a driver. Instead of appearing where it should in the screenshots in the article you linked, it looks like this:
That does not look like how it appears in the article at all. I'm fairly certain I did something--heaven knows what--and it now appears like that. Worse yet, I can't seem to reverse what I did...I'm stuck! I don't know what to do!

New address on IPHONE will not appear on MAC a sync problem from IPHONE to MAC

I am having a sync problem but I don't believe many who are offering answers understand the issue. I write/make/create a 'new' contact on my IPHONE 4 address book. I wait for it to sync over air. Yes, on my MAC and on my IPHONE I have it set up to sync over air. That is what it says on the INFO tab on the IPHONE page of the Itunes when I connect the IPHONE to my MAC.
No, I will not turn off the over air sync, I do not want multiple duplicates of my addresses!
On my IPAD I have no problems, my notes sync, my address book syncs but it does not do it from Iphone to MAC???

IPhone will not appear in iTunes

I'm at my wit's end here.
Windows 7 Professional - Started during the RC as well.
Fresh install, fresh itunes install. Phone syncs fine the first time, eject unplug, wait a few seconds plug it in, nothing. Itunes freezes for a few minutes then nothing changes.
Tried playing with startup services and other services no help, can not restore iphone because iTunes wont connect of course.
Went from 9.01 to 9.02 no help either.
Deleted all podcasts, even tried with no music in iTunes a "Fresh Install" did not change a thing and nada will not talk to my iPhone.
Tried new iPhone cables, old iPod cables the works.
Tried new USB Ports, with everything but a generic keyboard and mouse and no keyboard and mouse.
Any suggestions folks?

Also this has been going on since iTunes 9. I've had nothing but problems with it. In both installs it would not update my itunes library it would hang half way through even leaving it running for over an hour.
So not only am I without a way to sync my phone, my playlists are all gone, all my ratings etc. I've been a Mac and PC user for years and I'm really fed up with iTunes. Over 90% of iPhone owners use it on Windows, so you would think it would work better. It's not like I have a choice to use a second program to manage the music.
Oh iPods work fine.

TS4006 My new iPad will not appear under devices.

I only have 3 items in the devices, but my new one is no where to be found. I have followed all the directions, but still no success!

I can't see it on my iPhones or other ipad.

Iphone will not show in itunes on windows 8

I installed windows 8 operating system and itunes works, however, my iphone will not appear in itunes. How do we fix this?

iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.
Regards.

From the box the iphone came in:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

HT5824 photos taken on my Iphone are not appearing in ICloud/IPhoto. ( to my knowledge, the settings are set for "share/upload"

Photos taken on my Iphone do not appear in ICloud. I've checked the settings but am unable to determine
what, if anything, I need to do inorder to syn the photos.
Technically, I need to review the settings on my Iphone and ICloud that will enable a seamless transfer of photos.
Additionally, I need to review the computer (microsoft)setting that enable a sync of photos with ICloud.

Everything is fine, because there is no web application for photos at the moment. These are the options to view your Photo Stream:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

My movie I rented via my iphone will not finish processing it has been almost 24 hours and I can't watch it on any of my devices help

I get as far as what appears to be restoring my phone then when the software has downloaded, iTunes insists on my phone accepting it's access. I had carried out this action two weeks ago when I had the same issue on my phone and managed to restore it successfully, but it isn't happening now. I have updated iTunes to the latest version since the last time, and also my iPhone to the latest version. I have had endless trouble with this phone so having gone through all the steps suggested in various forums it is clear that it is an issue with the phone, not helped by the recent iOS and iTunes updates with stricter security.
