ITunes no longer sees iPhone

Suddenly, after I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes ceased launching when I plugged in the phone. The phone charges, but iTunes does not see it. iPhoto does, but iTunes does not. I reset the phone, reinstalled iTunes, and restarted the computer, to no avail. I also upgraded iPhoto.
I have two computers, a Macbook and a Mac Pro, both synced to the phone. The odd thing is, when I updated iPhoto on the Mac Pro, iTunes could see the phone again. It still doesn't work on the Macbook, though.

I had the exact same problem and I was getting really frustrated after spending several hundred dollars to upgrade to OS X 10.5 and iLife '08 only to find I couldn't synch my iPhones, I have two. However reinstalling iTunes on all my machines, G4, PowerBook, and G5 solved the problem. I did encounter once glitch. One of my iPhones didn't have the latest software and I needed to synch with iTunes before the upgrade worked. I'm all good now.

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

HT1296 itunes no longer sees my i phone 4s? the computer sees it as a device with memory, how can i fix/change this?

Itunes no longer sees my iphone 4s as a device? What can i do?

Just to clarify:
Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
Right click on the first image of the selection.
From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
Click it.

As of iOS 8.1.1, iTunes no longer sees my iPhone at all.

I download new music on my computer regularly, and thus, sync my iTunes library to my iPhone regularly. As soon as I updated my iPhone from iOS 8.1 to 8.1.1, iTunes on my computer was no longer able to see my iPhone at all. The first time I tried to sync after updating, I noticed that my iPhone did not appear in iTunes as it always had. I thought I had turned off wifi on the phone, but that was not the case. I have not been able to get iTunes to find my phone via wifi since then. Next, I tried to plug my phone into my computer with an Apple lightning cable. This charged my phone, but my phone still never appeared in iTunes. I get a message on my phone asking me if I 'trust' the computer that the phone is connected to (despite the fact that these two devices have been syncing regularly for about 2 years now). I press 'yes,' and that does nothing. The next time I plug it in, it asks me the same thing again. I have made sure both OSs and iTunes are up to date, and have restarted both devices. Everything else seems to be working fine. It's as if the iOS 8.1.1 update is somehow prohibiting iTunes from recognizing / communicating with my iPhone.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.1, never jailbroken
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), OS X 10.10, running iTunes 12.0.1.26

I'm having the same problem, but on a Windows 8 computer. I've literally done everything to try to rectify this problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on several different occasions, wiping my phone clean, and changing around the drivers several times. I have a feeling it's not iTunes' fault since I can connect my mother's iPhone 6 to the computer just fine. Everything was fine until the 8.1.1 update dropped and now everything's gone wrong.

I've just updated my os to 5.1 and iTunes no longer sees my iPhone 4

I've tried all the diagnostics on the support pages. All I'm seeing on the iPhone screen is the USB lead and the iTunes icon. My iPod is syncing perfectly with iTunes but not my iPhone very frustrating. Any suggestions. I've even tried changing usb ports but all I seem to get is a composite device (not even a camera).

...and I still can't get iTunes to see my iPhone. It worked fine yesterday, but after the iTunes update, I doesn't show up at all. I can see the "Apple iPhone" under cameras in My Computer so I know it's making a connection. I've repaired iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I started and stopped the services. I've restarted my computer, my iPhone. I've tried different USB ports. I've run CCleaner to delete any and all temp crap left behind by anything.
And still nothing works. I'm at a loss, any more suggestions? =(

Me too, the headache started yesterday for me. i had to switch everything to an older laptop, its slow but will work for now. It's a real headache cause i have xp pro x64(which there is no itunes support!!!) so to get itunes to work on that required google searching to see how to hack/extract x64 installer from itunes and add individual parts seperately from regular itunes 8.0.1 for xp pro 32bit. so it wasnt like i could just update to 8.0.2
Anyhow after much searching and failed attempts i had to start anew on a laptop w/just xp pro had to install office (have to set up calendar, import contacts/erase music to sync on that computer now/calendars/move external music drive to laptop...etc...blah blah blah). inconvenient! all within the last 24 hrs.

Upgraded iTunes no longer "sees" my airport express and will not network

Since upgrading to iTunes 8.2, iTunes no longer recognizes or sees my airport express (there is no longer an option box on the lower right area of the iTunes info so I can select computer speaker or additional speakers. The iTunes help says it should recognize the network when it starts, but it doesn't. My Airport is working properly. Sure would like to get those living room speakers back in the game!

I updated Airport Utility to 5.4.2 and even though it ended up telling me I hadn't changed my settings on the AE I use to play iTunes on my stereo, after the update of my Base and Express, the Multiple Speakers box appeared again on iTunes the next time I opened the iTunes window. Also, AU managed to, for the very first time, give me a solid green light on the AE, after a year + of blinking orange. So my advice is to update your Airport Utility and run it.

ITunes no longer sees my iPad device

Every now and again iTunes ceases to recognose my iPad. I use an iMac, iPad, old MacBook and have Apple TV and Time Capsule.
I set a reminder in Calendar to sync/backup my iPad every week with my iMac but every so often, it just doesn't work. I haven't changed the settings but there's no Device listed in the sidebar and it's greyed out as an option in the dropdown menu. There's no summary button either.
I'm very nervous about rebooting stuff because I don't want to lose what I've got.

I have the same issue, I set my iPad2 to sync over wifi - but the PC now no longer sees it, and the only answer I've seen on the boards is to plug the iPad in via a USB cable and uncheck the box for wireless syncing... but... it's not recognizing the iPad via USB either, simply as a camera device.
... you can see the problem here, I'm sure :-)
If it isn't recognized, I don't ever see the iPad in my iTunes in order to turn off wifi sync - and on the iPad itself there is no visible way to switch it back either
Any ideas?

Itunes no longer sees ripped music or playlists

Hi,
I just upgraded to iTunes 12. Most of my music is imported from CD's & it's all stored on an external hard drive. I now have an issue where iTunes only sees about 50 songs (instead of over 17,000). It no longer sees any of my playlists either. However, if I look on my iPod (Classic 160 GB) all of the music is there.
I therefore need to get my music and playlists from my iPod back into iTunes. I cannot find the original library file, or even a half decent old one. I know itunes will only move songs bought from the itunes store. I am tempted to pay for external software to do this but am a bit wary. I now also seem to have numerous

ITunes no longer "sees" my iPhone 4

I just upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 (latest version) on Windows 8.1. Since doing this, iTunes does not "see" my iPhone 4.
I've tried the following:
- signing out and signing back in to iTunes
- deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing the PC I'm working on
- uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
- shutting down and restarting my PC
- shutting down and restarting my iPhone 4
iTunes does not "see" my iPhone automatically or if I launch iTunes and then connect my iPhone.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Jeff

I recently upgraded to iPhone4s. I am running OS 10.7.4. iTune no longer 'sees' my iPod Classic but thinks it is my iPhone. The iPod has not been synced or updated for a while. Any ideas?

I can't update/sync my iPod Classic because iTune thinks it is my iPhone4s. How do I overcome this please? Surely I ought to be able to use my tunes on both?

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

IPhoto 11 No longer sees Iphone 4

I suddenly am unable to import photos from my Iphone 4 into IPhoto 11. My IPad has no problem though.
When I go into Image Capture it sees the IPad only !! (even if the IPad isn't connected ).
Itunes has no problem seeing both products. Help !!

Unfortunately neither resetting or restarting the IPhone 4 seems to have helped. Both Image capture and Iphoto 11 seem to think the IPad is still connected even though it is my IPhone. I even tried with nothing connected and IPhoto automatically showed the IPad as a connected device. I went to Image capture and sure enough it thought the IPad was still connected but nothing was.
Is there a way to " eject " the IPad from Image Capture ? I unmounted it in IPhoto and on relaunch it appeared again as being mounted.
BTW. I do have all software updated as of this writing and I have run a permissions repair /verification and run the disk repair feature as a precaution from the OS CD to no avail.
Thanks in advance

TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods. Diagnostics says no ipod connected. However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync. When I run diagnostics it says no device connected. My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected. I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work. I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version. The older version would not reconize my music libray. Any thouhts?

I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
