IPhone won't show up in itunes but does show up in iphoto (?)

So my iphone won't show up in itunes, but is recognized by iphoto.
I did recently sync the music on the phone with another itunes on a windows pc because I was getting on a flight and wanted to hear the show that I had just seen and downloaded. Could that be the issue?
I figured when I got home I would just re-sync it to my own itunes and it would just delete what I had already listened to but no such luck. It is not even recognized: itunes could not open iphone due to unkown error.
I've already used the troubleshooter, and have restarted etc. Any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated.

Try another usb port or this:

Updated to 3.1.3, now iPhone won't show up in iTunes

Updated to 3.1.1, now my iPhone won't show up in iTunes. iTunes starts up when I plug in my iPhone, but then SyncServer.exe just sits there running taking up 50% of the processor. Everything worked fine before the 3.1.3 upgrade, now it doesn't.

I have to uninstall it to get the update to work, then reinstall it.
Arrgh. Seen that before with CA too, Greg. (I've seen a couple of error 9s caused by CA just in recent days.)
There's some advice from CA on configuring it for iTunes in kalda01's post here:

(Fingers crossed, one of those documents will be applicable to your particular CA product.)

Original iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes 9.2 for Mac

My iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. Do I need to upgrade or uninstall something?
iTunes: 9.2
iPhone Version 3.1.2 (7D11) Model: MB384LL
OS: 10.5.8

Same here. Brand new 3GS running 3.1.3. Activated with iTunes 9.1 on Mac, updated iTunes to 9.2, Software Update was unable to complete "Registering updated system components". iTunes 9.2 works properly, besides it doesn't show my iPhone.

Iphone won't show up in itunes no matter what!

I'm having the same non-sync problem that others are having with itunes 10.1 on Windows XP Pro SP3 not ever acknowledging my iphone. Could my graphics card have any effect on this? I have an Invidia Quadro FX 3400.4400 currently in the slot.
If my iphone isn't plugged in my itunes comes up and runs just fine. If my iphone is plugged in, itunes comes up and it's all gray, album covers and everything. Pretty soon, several minutes, the colors suddenly appear in itunes but then it's "not responding" and never shows an iphone for a "device." I've rebooted both iphone and computer. Itunes dianostics reports there is no iphone connected and the USB green arrow in the status bar only shows my usb printer is connected. I think the iphone used to show up there. Another thing, during all these circumstances I've described, I can see the iphone in my explorer directory and can even browse the photos on it like it's a hard drive. That's with no device showing on itunes and no USB connection showing in the task bar on the lower right.
What could possibly be more confusing that that? If I reinstall itunes, do I lose all my music? How can I ensure that I won't? I've spend two days loading songs in and now itunes won't see my iphone (3GS running 4.1) and that's the only reason I did the music! Help.
From what it sounds like, if we have 1 million iphones out and only 50 people are complaining, then there really is no problem. Boy, you guys are sounding more like the government everyday!

Did you already check your USB driver installation, including Apple Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

This should not delete your music on your PC, but, just in case, back up your iTunes library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382

ITunes bought on iPhone won't show up in iTunes Library on laptop

if I buy a song from iTunes while on my phone, shouldn't it be in my iTunes library after I sync?
I have a total of 53 songs on my phone, but only want 41 of them, but iTunes on my laptop is showing that I have only purchased 23 songs.
none of the music that I bought from my phone since the last sync is showing up on iTunes library on my laptop.
Essentially, there are songs on my phone that I don't want anymore, so I want to get everything off my phone and into iTunes, so I can manually drag the songs I still want back to my phone. I thought when I synced it, my entire iPhone/Ipod music library would go to iTunes on my laptop, and I could pick and choose what I wanted to drag back to my phone manually, but it's not working out that way. iTunes is almost empty, and only has the 23 songs I had when I first synced it forever ago, not the 53 songs I have currently. I have always only purchased songs while on my phone, so why are some of them on my iTunes Library, but not the most recent ones?

Don't know (though it would be 30 songs, not 20). A third-party utility, of which there are many, for transferring content from an iPhone back to iTunes might do the job. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some suggestions:

My iPhone won't show up in iTunes

I have deleted all Apple software and redownloaded it (everything is updated)
My iphone won't charge from my computer, but it makes the "noise" when I plug it in and take it out. (So i'm assuming my USB ports are okay) It does charge, however, when I leave my phone plugged in and restart it, when it goes to the Windows screen, but as soon as that goes away, it stops charging.
I tried to see if my USB ports were working but under device manager, it's blank. My plug and play is on automatic.
It has worked before, but I'm not sure what happned. This computer is almost a year old, nothing is wrong with it.
And the cord works because I can charge it through the box in the outlet.

Yes. I have updated iTunes, checked the cable, I have Apple Mobile Device Support installed, and I restarted my iPhone.
I can't verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed because my device manager is blank. But I did delete everything and redownload it so it should be there.

My iPhone won't show up in iTunes on my new Macbook Air. What am I doing incorrectly?

Hi everyone,
So I am setting up my new MacBook Air (purchased on Black Friday), so it's new. And everything is going well, I'm signed in to my iTunes account, I have downloaded all my purchases from iCloud and I have authorized the Air. HOWEVER, when I plug-in my iPhone 5S to my Air, the photos import, but nothing else. It doesn't show up in iTunes as one of the "devices." So it syncs the photos, but nothing in iTunes.
Did I miss something? What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Liz

Hi Liz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to try if your Mac isn't recognizing your iPhone 5s:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

If that does not help you may also want to try a quick reset of SMC to see if that helps:

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.

Iphone won't show up in itunes after installing latest itunes update

I just installed the latest version of iTunes. Now it won't recognize my iPhone 4. It shows up as a camera on my computer (Windows XP Pro) but no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to see the iPhone. Any ideas?
thanks.

I'm not that familiar with Windows, but can you create another User account and run your Nexus Service software from there?
