My phone wont show up in itunes? it is charging but nothing is showing up on the computer?

i keep trying to sync my phone with itunes and it is not showing that it is plugged in. I know my chord works because it is charging. I have even tried other peoples chord. I have even tried to use different computers to see what happens. I have heard it is the new itunes update. Is it the update or my phone?

You running a windows PC or a Mac?
Do you have your sidebar up in iTunes?

    Hi kamalkumar,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. 
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

    Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

  • Windows Vista wont show iPhone in My Computer

    It wont show up in My Computer or as a digital camera. It works fine otherwise, it syncs fine with itunes. How do I make it show up as a removable device under My Computer? I'd like to do this in order to take the pictures that I took with the camera off onto my computer.
    Thanks

    Actually, this is not true when it comes to pictures.
    I can pull pics from my iPhone using windows (via My Computer), Photoshop Elements, iTunes and Corel...
    Whenever I put my phone in the doc I am prompted by 3 programs to retrieve the pictures with. (rather annoying, actually...!!). And yes, all 3 work.

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    try reinstalling iTunes.

    i need help with my ipod touch 4g its stuck on recovery mode and it wont show up on my computer its been 4 months and its still like that what can i doo to fix that email me at [email protected] or post on here

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Try DFU mode:

  • I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
    To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
    If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
    If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • I bought an audiobook, but it wont show up in the audiobook section in the music app

    I bought an audiobook, but it wont show up in the audiobook section in the music app. When I go to the book in the search in ITunes, it says it is downloaded...but does not show up in the audiobooks section in my music app

    If you pull down the centre of the iPad's homescreen (not from right at the top of the screen as that will open notifications) to open the search field, if you type in the name of the audiobook or the name of the author does that find it ?
    If not then you could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • My external hard drive wont show up in the "Save to:" menu when I try to import videos

    My old external broke so I found my old one and plugged it in and went to import some videos on imove from an sd card but my external hard drive wont show up on the "save to:" drop down menu. I've been on utility disk to try and repair disk permission but I can't because the button isn't lit up. I can only click on verify disk or repair disk. I tried both of these but it still wont come on the drop down menu. It is showing up on the left in the event library but it has a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark in it.
    Hope that all makes sense!
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Ok in disk utility it says Format : MS-DOS (FAT32)
    Sorry Im not sure what you mean by can it connect via firewire? Sorry I'm a bit useless with technology haha

  • HT201210 I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update.  Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used.

    I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update.  Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used.  itunes says I have to restore my phone, but will lose all the data.  Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to lose all my pictures and other data.

    It's in recovery mode. There is nothing left on the phone at all. If you didn't back it up before you started, your data is gone.
    you have no choice but to restore at this point.
