Itunes isn't finding my device but iPhoto does

When I plug in my iphone 5 iphoto opens right away but itunes doesn't find it.  So I can't sync or download anything to the phone.

Hi.  Thank you for trying to help me. 
I have the latest version of iTunes.  I run Mountain Lion, not Mavericks.  But it is the latest OSX for Mountain Lion. 
The other  thing it sometimes does is it seems to find the device but get stuck in loading the device.  It just isn't able to finish loading the devices, whether my phone or ipad.  And then iTunes can't quit by itself.  It needs to be force quit.  It won't even command Q quit - you have to go to the apple and force quit from there.  It just gets stuck.

  • HT204074 I have been reading about how to associate devices with my Apple ID, and the info says I can go to my account through iTunes to find "Manage Devices" but that does not exist. Either it was phased out our there are other ways to get there, but can

    I am trying to find out about all my associated devices. I recently got a message that I had used my last device, and am not sure how this can be. The instructions for accessing the info via the iTunes account info page apparently were not shared with the programmers since there is no Manage Devices button or option as far as I can see. How do I do this?

    After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:

    I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't.  :-)
    Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

    You formatted your computer's hard drive? If so, it's like starting with a new computer unless you restored all of your content from a backup but it does;t sound like that's the case.

    After updating my iTunes it no longer acknowledges that my iPod or iPhone is connected so I can't update my music.. I have followed all of these steps and everything is working fine but this new version of iTunes isn't recognizing my devices. Any advice?

    I have the same problem. Running Win 8 64Bit, updated to latest ITunes and now will not recognize phone or pad. Followed all advice from Apple (uninstall/restart/re-install, all in exact order) ... nothing. Spoke with Apple tech and walked through the whole process, but no resolution. Tech was trying to be helpful but has no way of addressing issue.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • ITunes and the Finder won't recognise iOS devices but iPhoto will and will recognise my iPod classic

    Good day good people,
    I seem to be having a problem syncing my iOS devices to iTunes. The Finder and iTunes won't recognise any of my iOS devices (iPads - 1, 2or Mini and iPhone 4s). iPhoto will however. Finder and iTunes will recognise my iPod Classic.
    I've tried this:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
         and I tried doing a SCM reset and a PRAM reset (I couldn't get this one to work though) as recommended on another thread which I can't seem to find again.
    Note people seem to have had a similar problem with older versions of OSX - I have the latest. They reommend reinstaliling iTunes but I can't do this with more recent versions it seems.
    I am confident it is something corrupt with my MacPro as I also have a MacBook Air and it recognises all the iOS devices.
    One last thing  - and I'm not sure this is related - but iTunes on my MacPro doesn't seem to be syncing purchases from the iTunes store with my other devices (notably my AppleTV 2).
    I have been banging my head against this one for a while - any help would be greatly approeciated.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • When i plug in my iphone to my computer, itunes doesn't recognize it, but iphoto does.

    When i plug my iphone into my computer, it doesn't pop up in the devices column in itunes, but iphoto opens automatically asking me to import... I want to get my music off my computer, but this is problematic with itunes not recognizing my device!

    Sounds like you need to authorize your computer. Open iTunes < Store on the menu bar < Authorize this computer.

  • I have a new iPod Classic 160Gb.  i have an iTunes Account, it recognizes my device but will not sync my library of music to my new iPod.  What do I need to do?

    I have a new ipod Classic 160GB.  I already have an Itunes account.  The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
    What do I need to do?

    Hi Amy2250,
    Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
    Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
    Good luck,
    stefanrandomly

  • Canon-programs can't find my Canon EOS camera, but iPhoto does

    When trying to import pictures with my Canon apps, it won't find it, but iPhoto finds it. How come? Can I disable it from iPhoto in some way?

    For questions about your Canon applications you'll need to consult their makers. As for iPhoto, if you don't want to use it just quit it. It has nothing to do with your Canon apps and what they do.
    You can decide what apps should open automatically when you connect your camera in the iPhoto Preferences.
    Regards

  • My iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone, but it does recognize my iPod

    When I plug in my iPhone to my computer, the computer recognizes the device, but my iTunes no longer does.  As far as troubleshooting goes, I've restarted the phone, iTunes, and the computer.  I have also plugged in my iPhone to my another computer and it shows up on iTunes on the second computer.  The next thing I have read says to completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall, but I'd like to keep that as my last resort.  I did however plug in my iPod and my iTunes does recognize that.  If the problem was with iTunes itself, wouldn't it not recognize either device?  Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    It does so have the capabilities to be seen on your PC, I do it all the time to move my pictures from my phone to the PC and I have the iPhone 4s

    My daughters iPod was stolen today and I disabled it and tracked it on the find iPhone to an address but law enforcement can't do anything yet since they have now turned the iPod off which means it's off the radar now but for the life of me I can not find the serial number in my iTunes account to give the investigator so that he can put the info into a data base for pawn shops.

  • New iPhone 6 Plus crashed during ios 8.1 update and iTunes isn't recognizing the device

    I deleted a bunch of pictures and music on my phone to have enough storage space to back up my phone. I decided to update my phone first (ios 8.1) and it seemed to be going smoothly. It's hard to remember exactly what happened but when it was almost complete, something went wrong and it indicated that it hadn't installed correctly. It said I needed to clear more storage space in order to complete the installation so I restarted the phone. When it turned back on, I attempted to install the update again (the storage wasn't an issue) and it immediately went into "verifying install" mode before shutting off. Now I only have the screen that indicates I need to plug it into iTunes but the device isn't recognized when I plug it in. Powering it down, holding down different buttons, etc. doesn't work! Help!

    Which OS?
