My phone is not showing up in Devices,

I have just switched from my 4 to my dad's old 4S and need to plug the 4s in to gain contacts and music, but it is not showing up in devices.

Hello TMC66,
It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Follow the directions for your specific computer to check and see it the APPLE MOBILE DEVICE USB DRIVER is installed.

  • HT1414 my i phone is not showing up uner devices in itunes so phone is stuck after trying to update ios6. help !

    SOS  -  trying to update my iphone 4 to IOS 6. Says connect to itunes. Done that but nothing is happening. Devices doesnt even come up in itunes? phone is stuck with apple logo on screen. cant do anything?

    With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up.  If not, you are having a sync problem.  If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

  • IPhone5 not showing up in devices tab on iMac, can't transfer songs from computer to phone

    I have a new iPhone5 and an iMac running Snow Leopard.  I have scads of songs on my computer that are mostly from CDs.  When I hooked the new phone up to the computer, the newly purchased songs on the phone loaded onto the computer automatically.  However, the phone does not show up in the "devices" tab on the Finder and I can't see any way to transfer all the songs from the computer to the phone.  Many thanks for all help.  -J

    This has to be one of the most useless forums on the Internet.  Of the 15 problems I have posted here, I have gotten solutions to only THREE!  Several others I found the answer to myself, and posted them.  Many of my problems have absolutely NO responses to whatsoever, including this one.
    If any real Apple employees scour this forum looking for ways to help customers, they aren't doing any kind of a decent job at it.  In fact, I doubt that Apple "wastes" its money doing any such thing at all.  We are left to our own devices, or to call Apple Support with its additional hassle.
    I'm a member of several other support forums, and I can tell you that within hours and sometimes minutes, my questions are answered, often with very detailed suggestions from people who are obvious experts.  Almost invariably, these are forums where the administrators are unpaid volunteers, and they are full of expert members who just like helping out.  Why are there so few such people in this official Apple community?
    Does anyone know of any Apple/Mac forums where people actually get help with their problems? -J

  • TS1500 I followed the instructions but my phone is not showing up on the list

    I'm trying to download pics from my phone I followed the directions that were given to disable a function in the control panel when I went I and found devices my phone is not showing up. It shows up in iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

    That article above, the one that has you disable the function, is to stop the little window from popping up whenever you connect a camera or iPhone with pictures.

    No.
    Try updating the driver for Apple Mobile Device in the Universal Device controller section of the Device Manager.
    (Apple Mobile Device will not show if your phone is not connected)
    If you want to manually assign it:
    Make sure your iPhone is connected to a USB port on the computer.
    Launch Desktop and hover your cursor over the bottom-left corner of your screen to reveal the Start screen icon. Right-click on the Start screen icon then click on Device Manager.
    Right-click the Apple Mobile Device in the Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Update Driver Software.
    Click Browse my computer for driver software
    Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
    Click the Have Disk button.
    Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the usbaapl file. (if 64bit then it may be called usbaapl64)
    Click Open in the Have Disk window, then Next and Finish.

  • HT4623 my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    Hey there, i got the same Problem with my MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.4) and two iPhone´s 5 with the iPad 2 and the iPad Air, (all with iOS 7.1.2) since 2months. SOLUTION???
    Since the change of Snow Leopard on Mavericks, the entire system of the MacBook is much slower. This is already noticeable at the beginning (start the MacBook Pro). It runs through the entire software. z.Bsp. Open Safari / Outlook, iTunes and more. for about 2months absolutely no back-up of my devices is possible!!
    Every time when you connect the hardware (iPhone 5 / iPad 2 / iPad Air) iTunes stops responding and needs to close above EXIT NOW!! No back-up's my hardware (see above) possible!!!
    but iPhoto is running with the devices and at least I can transfer the images.
