Iphone will not show in itunes

despite my iphone being connected to a power source in the same room as my macbook pro , it does not show up in itunes, ??

I spent many hours yesterday fumbling around this exact problem. Searched all over for input and only came upon this solution this morning. I went through attempts to update USB drivers, rolled back my OS install, uninstalled/turned off a bunch of services and was only able to get my iPhone to link up 1 time throughout the day. I followed every instruction offered by Apple in the support area for this problem.
iTunes would take up to 5 minutes to start and would not see the phone. When it finally came up, I would plug in my iPhone and it would lock up my iTunes. Some times, it would lock up my OS. I could find iTunes.exe running in my processes, as well, but the program would not actually be running to where I was able to use it.
Then I read this note, disconnected my network, started iTunes and it booted in under 20 seconds, plugged in my iPhone and it was immediately recognized.
Problem solved. The problem SHOULD NOT exist in the first place, Apple, but this workaround should work for any Windows OS user with a similar problem.
What has changed for me recently is the 1.1.4 iPhone update a few days ago and updating iTunes to the most recent version.
Please fix this, Apple. I keep forgetting to unplug my network when trying to work with my iPhone and iTunes and its a major hassle.

  • 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.

    MY iphone connects to my pc andimports photos etc but will not, for love nor money, show in itunes so i cannot put any music onto my new device. i have un-installed and re-installed itunes, i have restarted the apple mobile device service numerous times and it will just not work. what am i doing wrong?
    i am on ios 7.0.5 and trying to link directly with lightening usb cable. i cannot sync on wifi as it is a new phone and says i must connect to a computer to then set up the wifi sync.
    irritating to say the least!!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

  • Iphone will not synch with itunes after downloading most recent itunes version

    I updated to most recent version of itunes and since then my 3GS iphone will not synch with itunes. the phone is recognized by my windows computer but not recognized within itunes. I redownloaded itunes and Q but nothing.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Dell XPS 8500 with a 64bit i5 Processor and an Apple 4s and I have the same problem.  I have been searching for days and can only get the phone recoginzed by disabling power to USB ports and there is no way I can get ITunes to show devices, so I can't see the IPhone.  People say Apple monitors these sites but I haven't seen any response from a technical person. Have you?  My hunch is they know about the problem but don't have a fix, and have other priorities for their team. If my hunch is correct, its quite extraordinay because I am close to selling my 4s and getting some phone which is easier to work with. Time is my scarcest resource and I have devoted way too much of it to this issue.

  • On an iPod Nano 2G, the iPod will not show in iTunes

    Using an iPod Nano 2 G, when I plug it into a Mac, the iPod will not show in iTunes. The iPod will charge, but will not sync. This happens across multiple Mac's, so the issue seems to be the Nano, not the computer(s). The iPod will actually show for about 2 seconds in the left sidebar, then it disappears. Any suggestions about how to either fix this, or maybe how to restore the iPod's software. The iPod otherwise seems to be working correctly, i.e. will play music, etc. we have tried switching ports, cables and computers, same results. 

    Did you do everything here:
