    why can,t i get my ipod shuffle to show up in itunes.i need help.

    Did this work before with this shuffle and this computer, and does not work now for some reason?  Or is this the first time you are using this shuffle with this computer?
    Just so we are on the same page here, the latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With the sidebar visible, does the shuffle appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

  • My iphone isn't showing up in itunes when I plug it into my laptop.

    Even after I plug my phone in with the cable it doesn't show up in the top corner like it's supposed to, so I can't download any of my new music. I have the iPhone 5s, and I have the newest version of Itunes so it's not that it's outdated.

  • My iPhone is not showing up in iTunes, or Windows Explorer.

    I have looked around searching and tried to uninstall everything that had anything to do with Apple and iTunes. Nothing worked. I also have gone into the computer managment and stopping and starting the apple managment and iPod service. Still, nothing worked. My iPhone will not show up in iTunes, nor Windows Explorer, when I plug it in I can hear the sound that when a device gets plugged into the computer.

    It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
    Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and  you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.

  • HT1296 replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and i cannot sync

    replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and I cannot sync

    You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard.  iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6.   So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running.  A G5 is a PowerPC.  Intel is Intel.
    Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
    What version of iTunes do you have?
    Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine?   Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.
