ITunes won't see iPhone but sees it in iPhoto

iTunes won't see iPhone but sees it in iPhoto. The iTunes doesn't show a "Devices" title in the side window. Any information on how to fix this problem. Would like to start using iCal and sync the iPhone 4s using iTunes (etc.)

This may not be helpful but you are not the only one.

Itunes won't recognize Iphone but device still charges

Today, I had my Iphone 5c replaced after having issues with the software on my previous iphone 5c. I'm trying to put the data that was on my previous phone back onto my new replacement but Itunes won't recognize my device. I have tried getting the data back on my phone using Icloud but the backup data that is for my Iphone can't be selected as the backup data requires software that is ios 7.1 or later (or something like that). I have selected the option of "set up as new iphone" and just downloaded the software update but I don't know how to get back to the screen that shows the icloud backups.
I have also tried all the recommended things for when the device cannot be detected with itunes (ex. reinstalling itunes, restarting apple mobile device support< ect.)
If you can help with how I can get my itunes to recognize my iphone or how i can set up with icloud after selecting "set up as new iphone" that would be great

Set the phone up as a new phone. Then update the iOS to 7.1. After the update is complete restore your phone from your backup.

ITunes won't see iPhone or iPod. Apple TV sync's fine

My iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone and iPod touch. I've rebooted both devices, done a restart on both devices. Rebooted my MacBook. Done every combination of the above. Downloaded/Reinstalled iTunes.
Runnning:
MacOSX 10.7.2 (Lion)
iTunes 10.5.1
iPhone 5.0.1 (3GS) - Upgrading to 4s tomorrow.
iPod Touch 4.2.1
I've used both USB ports. Multiple sync cables. Both devices will charge. I'm just worried I'm going to plug in my 4s and I'll have the same problem. And, how to fix the iPod toch.

HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

OS 10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.1, and iOS 6.0.2 ... everything is updated, but iTunes won't read iPhone 5 or iPad. Suggestions?

OS 10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.1, and iOS 6.0.2 ... everything is updated, but iTunes won't read iPhone 5 or iPad as devices. Syncing was easy before recent iTunes update. Suggestions?

Are you using the correct cables. iPod cables look similar, but are not, as they are 1.1 USB cables, where your iPhone and iPad require a 2.0 USB cable.
Also, make sure you are not plugging your USB cable into a Hub or keyboard USB port, but one directly on the computer.
You may want to reset the USB ports, by resetting the SMC and PRAM

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Hi,
Why can't you hear your music on your mac book? Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribe to iTunes Match.

I turned on itunes match on my iphone, but still seeing lots of artists without the cloud icon???

Hi ...
I turned on itunes match on my iphone, selected "enable" and first turned OFF the slider that says "show ALL music" ... I still saw a bunch of artists (about 100)
Then I turned the slider to ON and saw about 600 artists (as it should be), but those 100 artists do NOT have the cloud icon next to them (meaning that somehow the music is actually "ON" the iphone) ...
can someone explain?? I thought it would be empty except for icloud, and then the things I download from icloud??

If they do not have the cloud next to them on your iOS device, it means that the song is cached on your device. As your device runs low on space, it clears the cached songs and you'll see the cloud next to it. Each time you listen to a song, the song is actually downloaded while you listen. Next time you listen, it's off the device, not the cloud.

ITunes 12 won't see iPhone 6 over wifi

I have an iPhone 6 running iOS8.0.2 and a Macbook Pro with Retina Display running Yosemite and iTunes 12. The same problem I've always had is still there - iTunes will not see my iPhone over wifi. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I can never predict when - if by some miracle it has, often it loses connection.
Yes, they are on the same wi-fi network.
Yes, they are both connecting to the net and getting 8mbps downstream.
Yes, the iPhone is charging (a ridiculous requirement thought up by a moron).
Yes I've tried restarting everything.
This drives me mad - thought Apple was supposed to "Just Work". I've sat there and listened to Tim Cook et al describe the "seamless integration" as "magical". Yeah well my Sony Ericsson w880i "just worked" over bluetooth with my old macbook - that really was just magical - but my iPhone 3G, 4, 5 and now 6 never has - it's a joke - Apple make the computer, the phone, the operating systems and the music software and they can't get the two to connect? It's unbelievable. It's worse than Microsoft. Handover?? SORT THIS OUT FIRST!
Oh, and after typing this whole question, I get "You are not allowed to create or update this content."
What a bunch of losers - worst user experience ever.

I know this is off topic, but does anyone know how to manually sync and eject your ipod from version 12.01.26 of iTunes? I just upgraded to this version and now I cant find the icon and cant eject my ipod.

ITunes won't see the iPhone

I just purchased a MAcbook Pro, running Leopard 10.5, and iTunes 8.02. I already have an iPhone 3G, running OS 2.2. Everything worked fine when I sync'd it with my PC. Now that I have a Mac, I'd like to sync it with this, but iTunes won't acknowledge that the iPhone exists - or at least that it is connected to the Mac. I have tried both USB ports, and the result is the same. I have used the USB ports for other things, like connecting jump drives, and they seem to work.
I have tried restarting the iPhone, no change.
Any suggestions?

Check System Preferences > Accounts, click your username then the Login Items tab - is iTunesHelper present? If not, that's the problem. Download iTunes from the link below and run the installer (no need to delete anything first).

If not, then you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS:

Retrieved old app from Time Machine, but iTunes won't see it

I'm running 10.6.1. iTunes 9, iPhone 3.1. I'm trying to revert to an older version of an app. I retrieved the older app from Time Machine and I can see it in Finder in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder. iTunes doesn't see it though. Is there a way to make iTunes see it?

I just discovered that I have to import the reverted app's file into my iTunes Library (File -> Add To Library). Nevermind.

Help! Restore needed but iTunes won't recognise iPhone

This morning, my phone's decided it needs to be restored. However when I try to connect to iTunes I get this message :
'iTunes cannot activate your iPhones because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone.'
Needless to say, I don't use a SIM PIN, and I've tried 3 times so far to switch off & on and I get the same thing every time. Can anyone help please?

Exactly the same problem with my 5 month old iPhone. Suddenly one morning it claimed that there wasn’t any simcard in the phone or it needed activation. When I connected it to iTunes I couldn’t do a thing.
But, the tip about holding standby/powerbotten and home at the same time and thereafter holding home worked and iTunes recognized my phone and was able to do a restore.

IPhoto won't see iPhone. No problem with iTunes. Please advise.

I have upgraded to iPhoto '11 v. 9.1.3 a few weeks ago. At some point since then I have noticed that my iPhone will not appear in iPhoto so I cannot import photos. I have tried all the obvsious ways around this but it's not coming up so I have no way of backing up my photos. Can't even get the Bluetooth route to work but that's another question! Have done all the usual such as re-starting both devices etc and nothing. I also recently had to do a restore on my phone and the problem may have happened since then. The phone appears in iTunes no problem.
Please advise as I have some lovely pics of my kids that I want to back up asap! Thanks

Greetings Lisa,
The most common cause of this issue is #1. Incompatible picture (received via email or downloaded from the Internet) in the camera roll and #2. Issues with the iOS (not up to date, damaged, etc). As you just did a restore we can probably eliminate #2.
I have tried all the obvsious ways around this but it's not coming up so
This doesn't tell us anything. If you tell us what you have tried that will help you to receive new ideas as opposed to repeats of what you've already done.
Can't even get the Bluetooth route to work
iPhoto does not import images over Bluetooth from an iPhone that I am aware of. I certainly wouldn't recommend it given low data transfer rates of Bluetooth and the possibility of wireless interference were it possible.
Please advise as I have some lovely pics of my kids that I want to back up asap!
Email the desired images to yourself if you need them off the phone quickly.
Try using Image Capture to import your images. It is found in Macintosh HD > Applications > Image Capture.
If that is not of assistance then follow this article completely as it covers this behavior quite thoroughly: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
Cheers.
