ITunes does not 'see' iPhone in new iMac

I am not sure if I should post this in the iPhone Forum or here ... but I just bought a new 21" iMac and used the Migration utility to copy all my data over from my MacBook. It seems to be fine and everything is working correctly BUT ... when I plug in my iPhone it does not show up in iTunes. I did go into iTunes and "authorize" my new computer ... buy it still does not see my iPhone.
I am sure there is a simple answer to this but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks for your help!!

Check your System Profiler and see if the computer is recognizing the phone in there (if it's not, try a new cord). If it is, login to another User account and see if the iTunes in there sees the phone. If it isn't,you might try reinstalling iTunes.

New Iphone 3G - Army Laptop - USB Disabled- ITunes does not see Iphone

I have a new Iphone 3G and am trying to sync up my Outlook Address Book, however my computer is a US Army Laptop that has the USB disabled. The XP operating system recognizes the device as a camera but ITunes does not see the Iphone. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

You will have to use a different computer that isn't from DoD. As you know they have disabled USB ports except for mice/keyboards because of various world wide issues, they are being very strict about this and I don't see them enabling it for an iPhone when they wouldn't let me use them for 5 minutes to get some data from an old dying machine.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Moved to new PC from WinXP to Win7, and iTunes does not see library

My old laptop was running Windows XP. My new laptop is running Windows 7. I installed iTunes and copied my the contents of my "iTunes Music" directory into the "iTunes Media" directory (from "Documents and Settings/<user name>/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ into "Users/<user name>/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media).
My iTunes Media directory on my old laptop was set to the iTunes Music directory, and my iTunes Media directory on my new laptop is set to the iTunes Media directory. However, iTunes does not see my music on my new laptop.

You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
Please help with this problem
Thanks

You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.
