My phone wont show up in itunes
why wont my phone show in itunes? i have tried everything suggested on these online forums and nothing has worked, i have even uninstalled and re installed itunes onto my computer and quite frankly it is giving me a headache trying. can someone please help me!!!
Hello Melanie6687m
It sounds like you are unable to sync your iPhone with iTunes because iTunes does not see it when you plug it in. 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 not only iTunes but its associated softwares as well for a clean install, 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.
Take care,
Sterling

Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult. If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore. -

Ipod is FROZEN and WONT SHOW UP ON ITUNES/COMPUTER!
My second generation Ipod is a little more than a year old and has worked splendidly until this last monday.
Five days ago my ipod would not play a song, and when i tried to skip it, it wouldnt play that song either. The CD cover would also not show up.
This has happened to me before, so i did what i normally do to fix it, plug it into a wall charger for a whole day. However, this did nothing. Today, I took it off the charger and plugged it into my computer, a little beep sounds but wont show up on itunes or my computer.
It began to charge with my computer, but then it froze completely. Im unable to change the song or turn it off (when i take it off the computer it is still frozen for hours with the backlight and charging sign in the battery)
obviosly i can not restore it if it wont show up on itnes, and i can not put it in disk mode if it is frozen!
is there anything i can do?Mine did the same thing, hold down the center button then press menu hold them both down for about 10 seconds. You may have to do it more than once. I hope that helps!!!!!!

i bought my daughters ipod shuffle 4th gen last week for xmas. set them all up easily etc and wrapped them for xmas. kids opened them up for xmas played them most of the day so i thought i would charge them both overnight on the computer. pc went into sleep mode which i didnt realise wouldnt charge them. so in the morning they were flat so i charged them on the pc but 1 didnt seem to take any charge while the other worked perfectly. treid to charge it all night long last night using a power point charger and still this morning it displays the red light and wont show up in itunes or my computer. apple support havent rang me yet
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod. -
