My iPhone is not showing in iTunes on my PowerBook G42005-any suggestions?

I have a PowerBook 2005 G4.  When I sync my iPhone with the PowerBook, the iPhone does not show in the iTunes-as in the music and such is not showing.  Does anyone know what might fix that problem?

Newer iPhones require a higher Mac OSX version than any PowerBook can run. You can run no higher than 10.5.8--I think the oldest OS version that will synch is 10.6.8.
What version of iOS is on the phone? That could make a difference.

    My new 4S iphone is not showing in itunes and have followed all trouble shooting tips.  It does show in iphoto and wants to download photos.  Any suggestions???

    I've tried a lot of the stuff mentioned at that link and elsewhere, modifying host files etc. trying to downgrade my iPhone 4 back to 5.1.1 no luck , apple has locked up 5.1.1 for my phone and iPad . one post said I'm "stuck with iOS 6" darn I should have been more careful. I have the 5.1.1 Ispw on my MacBook its a permissions thing I don't understand. I'll post when I find a way around it and I will . iOS 6 took away most of my AirPlay functionality . to hek with iPhone 5 I'm starting to look at android. big bummer apple

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    Since I updated to Leopard, my iPhone is not showing any longer in iTunes. I still see the iPhone in every other application, like iPhoto. Is there a way to fix this?

    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

  • Iphone is not showing in Itunes after Ipad

    I have my iphone 4 for 2 years now and it works with my itunes flawlessly, until recently I bought my Ipad 3.
    Ipad 3 cannot be seen in itunes, so I googled it and did this steps.
    Disconnect Apple tablet from computer.
    Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers folder on your PC
    Locate usbaapl.inf file in this folder, right click on it and choose install
    After installation complete reboot computer
    Connect your iPad. For now on it should be in the device list on iTunes.
    I updated my itunes too.
    Now my Iphone is not showing up!  Tried connecting my ipad and it works without problem.
    Tried everything on the net.  Even did this:
    1. Open Start Menu >> Run and type services.msc and press ok [ this will open up services ]
    2. Locate the service named Mobile Device Driver  
    3. Double click the service to open properties
    4. In the "general" tab find the "startup type" drop-down arrow menu and make sure "automatic" is selected.
    5. Also see the general tab to check the "service status". If it does not say "started" then click the start button to start the service and connect your phone again and click apply.
    Note: If the above procedure does not helped in your case, then try restarting the service
    Both my devices can be seen on my PC, just not iphone on itunes.
    Rebooted my phone too.  Restoring is my last option....

    when you googled to find out what iPhone error 1604 meant, what did you learn?
    what steps have you taken thus far based on what your understanding of the error code meant?

  • Iphone will not show in itunes on windows 8

    I installed windows 8 operating system and itunes works, however, my iphone will not appear in itunes. How do we fix this?

    iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.
    Regards.

    Restart apple services. Disconnect iphone.  On windows, go to start menu, search "services", select services, select Apple Mobile Devices, Stop it and then Start it.  Connect iphone and try again. 

  • Ipod Nano icon not showing in  itunes and I've tried everything suggested

    My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple.  I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod.  I just want to download my songs!  Help! Please and Thank you.

    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:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My iphone is not showing in itunes, and it is not starting up iphoto when i connect it.

    my iphone is not recognized when i connect to my macbook

    This is what I did:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode
    A small guide on how to put your iPod touch / iPhone  into DFU mode. Works with all G’s of iPod touch / iPhone
    What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
    Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
    Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
    Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
    Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button  for 20 seconds.
    Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.
    That's when I got the black screen with USB and iTunes icons.  iTunes itself, did not show my phone.

  • IPhone still not showing in iTunes

    Yes, I know this is mentioned on the forum and Apple's support pages but I still cannot get my iPhone to show in iTunes after having done step bt step procedures such as:
    Updating iTunes (I have the latest version)
    Uninstalling iTunes and all associated programs that appear in the add/remove programs list/reboot/clean registry/reboot/re-install (installs with no errors)Disabling Antivirus and firewall
    Restarting PC and iPhone
    Disabling all but essential services to eliminate conflicts
    Plugging into different USB ports
    My iPhone 3Gs is not jailbroken, has about 15 apps installed, all from iStore. _It used to connect in iTunes with no problems_ but it would seem that updating iTunes a while back perhaps caused this. I don't know. The phone is visible in Windows and I can browse the photo's on the device from Windows.
    What I do notice is that immediately plugging the iPhone into the PC, iTunes hangs for about 30-60 seconds and then is fine again. If I remove the iPhone during this hanging period, iTunes immediately "unhangs".
    I have a state of art custom built PC with Win 7 64bit Pro.
    What else can I do?

  • IPad 2 and iPhone 4S not showing in iTunes 11.1.5

    Hi
    This might be a really common problem but searched before posting to avoid duplicating but just tried to put some new music on my iPhone 4S, running 7.1 and films on iPad 2 running same and nothing shows in iTunes v11.1.5. Normally this works over the wifi when they are powering up but even trying direct USB nothing shows. Tried rebooting iMac and Google searching but now totally stuck. I havent tried this for a couple of months due to moving so I dont know the last time it all actually worked as supposed to. Any thing obvious I'm missing?

  • HT1923 my iphone is not showing in itune i have uninstall and reinstall itune without result.

    Dear friends,
    Sorry to take your time. Two days ago I started having a problem with my laptop which is a Hp g70 with windows vista. My screen suddenly became black and the colors were distorted. I managed to sort it out with Aero glass a software (windows) . Each time I open Itune I get this problem, each time i use aero to clear it out. I noticed also that itune has stop recognising my iphone. I have changed ports, uninstall, reinstall itune nothing happened. I have run a scan and it came out that there is a software missing that itune is not properly installed. I have repair the installation but nothing good. When i open itune my screen just changes color and i can't see nor read anything. It's funny Itune do detect my ipod but no my iphone. Please anyone has got an idea to share or might had the same problem in the past. I want to delete itune from my pc but so that my pc runs ok. But without itune your iphone and ipod are dead.

  • IPhone 3GS not showed in iTunes after update to Version 4.0

    Hi,
    I just made an firmware update using iTunes to my 3GS.
    The installation went well, and the iPhone is working great.
    But the problem is that iTunes is not displaying the iPhone anymore.
    I already tried everything listed on the Apple support page, but nothing will help.
    iTunes is also the latest version (9.2).
    Windows is still recognizing the iPhone, the erroe is just in iTunes.
    When i connect the 3GS iTunes freezes completely for about 1 minute. Then iTunes runs again, but not showing the 3GS.
    I already searched several forums but couldn't find a solution.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Because the iPhone without iTunes is worthless for me...
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Same issue here, tried all the recommended solutions, but no change: Iphone shows in Windows, but Itunes does not recognize... (same issue on 2 different computers, phone itself is OK, it shows on other computers, just not on mine...)
