I bought Numbers on my iPad. I know it is supposed to go on my iPhone too, but it isn't. My iPhone doesn't show it has been purchased at all. Help.

Did you log into your iTunes account on the iPhone? On your phone, start the App store, tap the "Featured" icon and scroll down. Do you see Redeem and then, under that, your Apple ID?

My ipod touch isn't showing up on my itunes and i've done all the techniques the trouble shooting manual suggested. I have an after market cord, could that be the problem?

HELP-iPhone isn't showing up in iTunes

So I set up my iPhone and everything yesterday. . .I downloaded the newest iTunes, but each time I even try connecting iTunes to the iStore, it says iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store, unknown error occured (-3221), make sure your networ connection is secured. . .- -Well, my connection is secured and I've checked everything I could think of, but I still can't access the iStore from iTunes.
Another problem, my iPhone isn't even showing up in my iTunes. I had to use a seperate computer to even set up my iPhone. . .HELP! ! !

Just yesterday, I was getting the iTunes cannot connect message... it's happened prior to the iPhone..it just happens from time to time... I guess sometimes it just has some kind of connection error with the server. Nothing to be concerned about..that's on their side..not yours!

IPhone isn't showing up in My Devices on "Find my iPhone" page

I recently lost my iPhone 4 at an airport (or on the plane). When I first got the phone, I installed the Find my Phone app connected through MobileMe, though I don't think it was installed at the time of losing it. Fast forward to now...
I've logged into Find my Phone (now hosted on icloud.com) and I can see my iPad listed under the "My Devices", but not my iPhone. The battery is now dead as I've called it, but shouldn't it still show up in the My Devices list on the Find my iPhone page?
I'm wondering, if my iPhone doesn't show up in My Devices on Find my iPhone, does that mean it has been wiped?

Thanks, Winston. I thought I'd done that, but as that sounds like a post-iOS5 update thing, I probably didn't. The funny thing is, I don't remember doing ANY of this for my iPad, yet, that device still shows up under My Devices on the Find page. Hmm...

My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer. The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account. My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them. Thank you for your assistance.

This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now.
There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes? If so, what do you keep there?
Here's some background information to help place this in context:

Album artwork isn't showing up in album view (where all the albums are) but IS showing up when you drill into the specific album.

The album artwork isn't showing up in the album view where all the different albums are shown but when you drill into the specific album then it is shown. This seems to be a recent problem as it wasn't happening in the past.

Nope, that doesn't work. First, I manually manage the music, but even deleting and using auto-fill, doesn't put all the album art in place even though it is all on the songs in iTunes. Even copying and pasting from iTunes to the iPhone does not get the artwork to show up, despite the fact it shows up in "Info" on the iPhone in iTunes. Plus there seems no rhymn nor reason as to the missing artwork, some ripped songs have it, some purchased songs do not. Bizarre! But I've run across this problem every since time I've restored an iPhone and had to redo the music separately, however, previously I could manually drop and drag the song over after the auto-fill to replace (after deleting on the iPhone) and the artwork would show up. Not this time however. This is one of those details I find extremely annoying!

My iPod isn't showing up in my iTunes?

My iPod has been discharged for a while because it wouldn't show up in my iTunes library.It said to keep it on the charger for about 30 minutes. After an hour I came to check on it and it still was not recognizing it. I went on Youtube and seen it has happened to other people.It's an iPod Photo and I'm trying to fix it for a friend.Do any of you know anything about that?

Sorry I can't help but the same thing is happening to me. I have a 60GB ipod photo which has sat basically unused for years because I can't seem to get it recognized. Today I tried the procedure to switch it to disk mode which was successful. I could access the data on it using my iMac.
But when I try to use it in iPod mode it seems to be permenantly stuck on "do not disconnect" and isn't recognized by itunes. It seems to appear in system profiler though.

My IPhone doesn't show up in my Itunes on my computer.

I have an IPhone 5, which I bought back in December of 2012. I've never had an issue with syncing my Iphone to my Itunes until today, and for some reason it just doesn't show up in my Itunes side bar. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

Thanks, I just needed to update my Itunes It syncs with my IPhone now.

Purchases from my iPhone are not showing up in my iTunes 11 library?

They show up in playlists, such as one I created and my recently played and purchased playlists, but they are absent from my library. They are on my computer under itunes, but they just won't show up on my itunes library. I have the newest iTunes, and I do not use itunes match. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

I left my iTunes up for awhile and they eventually showed up. It just took several days I guess.

The art for my podcast isn't showing up in desktop iTunes.

The art for my podcast shows up in the iOS app. It shows up on the iTunes website. It just doesn't show up on the iTunes desktop app's store page, on either MacOS or Windows.
What gives?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/prefer-not-to-podcast/id661772382?mt=2
and the RSS feed is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/PreferNotToPodcast

The image which appears in the Store page (from which iOS devices also work) is referenced in the feed: but the image which appear when you subscribe on a computer and play an episode is no - it has to be actually embedded in the media file. Please see this page for details:

My iPhone isn't showing up in iTunes or on my Mac desktop.

Ive been trying to sync my iPod touch for a while now and it doesn't show up in iTunes or on my computer, although it is still charging my iPod. I was hoping that it would be fine when I plugged in my iPhone for the first time yesterday, but it has the same problem. I have taken the steps recommended by Apple and nothing has worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You're welcome.
