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.

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.)

I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?
If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups. -
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

The pc that I used to download CD music to into my itunes library was stolen and I had no backup. I have all my itunes music on my iphone and ipod. can i have music from music from my iphone or ipod transferred to my mac computer through itunes?
I have a similar problem. I recieved an IPAD for my birthday, and my daughter updated my itunes library so i can use it with the ipad...and somehow all my songs (unpurchased from itunes, and downloaded from a large collection of CDs) ...and play lists were deleted. I still have them on my old ipod, and wonder how to get them back onto my computer so I can redistribute some of them to the ipad. I must be getting too old for this tech stuff, it gets less user friendly every year.

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found
Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?
It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect. -
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:

It sounds like you are getting this error message when trying to install iTunes on your PC. I wanted to recommend going through the troubleshooting in the following article:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
When you have done that, download iTunes 64-Bit from this download link directly and try installing it:
