My iPhone4 does not display under Devices in iTunes

I don't know if my iPhone 4 got overheated due to the recent power failure, but I charged it the other day and have been trying unsuccessfully to connect to iTunes ever since. My Mac does not recognize my phone - it doesn't open iPhoto or iTunes when I plug it in, and it does not appear in the list of devices. I used the same USB cable I have always used for my iPod and iPhone - my iPod appears but my iPhone does not. Additionally, I now must turn the phone off in order to charge it (it is at nearly 100% right now). The iOS is 5.1.1, up to date according to the phone.
I've tried the following (most of which were under the link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591) with no success:
Using a different USB cable: the second cable worked with my iPod but not my iPhone
Using a different USB jack: the second cable worked with my iPod but not my iPhone
Resetting all settings on the phone (a few times) - I'm afraid to Reset All Content and Settings as I'm afraid I won't be able to get them back
Quitting iTunes and getting back in
Restarting my Mac
Reinstalling iTunes
Also, I thought Devices used to show in the iTunes sidebar, even if nothing was connected - now I can see Library, Store, Genius and Playlists, but Devices does not appear unless my iPod is plugged in. I tried leaving my iPod plugged in, and plugging my iPhone into another USB jack but still nothing.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I no longer am under AppleCare. Thank you.

Thanks Rudegar.
Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

Thanks Rudegar.

IPod does not appear under devices in Itunes

These problems started a couple weeks ago: When I connect my iPod classic to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't appear under devices in iTunes, but the iPod says its connected. Also, a little blue sheild appeared over the iTunes icon on my desktop. When I click on iTunes, a message comes up telling me to turn off compatability mode before I open iTunes for best results because it was running on an earlier version of iTunes. I've tried switching the compatability around and all of the troubleshooting options possible for iTunes but nothing has changed and my iPod still does not show up in devices. What sould I do?

The blue shield is Windows 7 telling you, to log in as Administrator, it need this higher priviledge to add devices like your iPod to the Machine.
Perhaps, you can go to Microsoft forum, for the how_to override. (must be install and run iTunes as Administrator)
Have a nice day!

Apps does not appear under devices in itunes., apps does not appear under devices in itunes.

I am trying to get my apps to appear under devices in itunes. They appear in the general library but not under devices.

When you turn on your iPad, you will not be able to see your apps under iTunes - though there is an iTunes Store, which is a different thing. Ito get your apps to appear in iTunes, open iTunes on your main computer and attach the sync cable. Both the general library and devices will appear.
When you disconnect the cable, you won't be able to see Devices.

IPod Nano does not show under Devices (in iTunes) but is recognized in My Computer and also iTunes opens up automatically when it is connected

I dont think there is problem with iTunes; I uninstalled the right way and re-installed. And, moreover, my other iPod touch gets connected and synced perfectly fine. However the Nano 6th GEN just refuses to.. . Please help! Have tried all options under apple/support website, and uninstalled/ reinstalled drivers too.
Using Windows 7, 64-bit operating system
Some analysis that I did are below, with screenshots, hope it helps:
Responses awaited....

IPAD/mini Ipad needs iTunes version 10.7 or later. Ipads are not shown under devices in iTunes.

I recently purchased two mini IPADs. When I connect either of them to my Mac, the first message displays says "no camera was found", then I receive a message stating "The Ipad cannot be used because it requires an iTunes version 10.7 or later" Neither device is recognize or found in iTunes under devices when connecting to my MacBook. Both Ipads have latest IOS 6. According to "software update" on my Macbook, all Macbook software is up to date too.
When I first purchased both Ipads, I was able to connect them to my macbook and both the mini ipad's were found under devices within iTunes. Not sure what changed.
Does anyone know how to update the mini ipad's iTunes software without connecting it to your computer?
Within the mini ipad, I went to the "general" table, "software update" and it says "your software is up to date". Would IOS 6.0.1 include itunes 10.7?
Thank you.

I appreciate your answer and your willingness to help me. My MacBook OS X Verson 10.5.8. iTunes is Version 10.0. I tried downloading the new Itunes software, but it says iTunes software needs Mac OS 10.6.8.
I tried downloading OS software 10.6.8, but it says I need to download 10.6 first.
I assume I need to purchase this software (no more free updates?) in order to connect my mini ipad to my MacBook? Do you think this could resolve my issue? I believe my MacBook was purchased in Jan 2009.
Again, it's weird b/c just two weeks ago, I was able to connect both mini Ipads to my Mac. I assume an automatic software update occurred somewhere.
TY!

Itunes store does not display with in the itunes player, why?

I have latest iTunes download. I have PC with Windows Vista. My system requirements are what they should be for the iTunes player. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting that i am willing to go through to make this work - Can someone !! Tell me why does the iTunes store NOT DISPLAY with in the iTunes Player?
I click on the iTunes Store from the iTunes player...center screen with in the player shows that its "Accessing iTunes Store" when its finishes - the screen remains blank! and stays like that...
Again why does the iTunes store not display with in iTunes?
Also , my Safari acts the same why...i open the browser and the Screen just sits there never finding, opening, or access anything from the web...YES I am connected to the internet? SO why does Safari sit there...

SD card does not appear under "Devices" as it used to - cannot import.

Helping to remotely troubleshoot an issue with my dad's iMac. Basically, he has always put his SD card into the slot, iPhoto opens and it prompts to import. Something has changed (presumably he did not cause the change ) and now what happens is that iPhoto opens, however the card is not showing up under "Devices" - thus there's no prompt to import. I TeamView'd into his computer to see for myself what was going on, and sure enough, the card does appear on the desktop (and in the Home window under "Devices") but there's no sign of if under the Devices list in iPhoto.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

And for the future a good workflow is to import your photos keeping them on the SD card, properly dismounting the card and after at least one backup cycle has successfulluy completed reformat the card using the camera - this protects against lost photos due to problems and keeps the card format fresh to minimize problems

CHM does not display under Win7 64bit

Hi all,
the CHMs generated unter Win 7 32bit do not open correctly under Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit. The CHM viewer opens and the TOC is visible, but all pages are empty (white, no error message). The CHM is stored locally. The same CHM can be viewed without problems under Win7 32bit.
Any ideas about this?
Robert

Wrong information - sorry! The CHMs were generated under Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit as well. That means they do not display on the same computer they were gnerated on, but under other systems that have 32bit OS (Win7 or XP).

Finder does not display external devices

Today when I woke up, and turned on my macbook, and connected my time machine and 'general use' disk, they didn't appear on the desktop. Not in the finder under devices either. According to terminal they're both mounted. Other programs can access files on the disks. Time machine cannot seem to backup however, and spotlight indexing also seems to fail on the other disk.
I can still access files on them through spotlight (although I didn't remember the name of any file on the time machine disk, so no good there), and thus eject one of them by dragging the window icon into the trash can.
The time machine disk is USB, and the other one Firewire. I have never had this problem before, and Leopard has worked just fine two days before this.

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Apple TV (1st Gen) Not showing under devices in iTunes

I have a New iMac and I have used time machine to restore data from my old iMac. Everything other than iTunes is fine.
In iTunes (10.4) all of my library is fine, however, my 1st gen Apple TV fails to appear under Devices.
I've checked various support articles and they all say that "look for Apple TV's" option should be selected in preferences.
I don't have this option in preferences. I can use the Apple TV as remote speakers.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

I assumed that by using time machine to import everything onto the new iMac that the new machine was effectively the "old machine". Maybe not. It was set to sync to the old mac, so will try setting up the Apple TV again on it's computers tab.
Still worried that I can't find the "find Apple TV's" option in iTunes prefs though.
