Phone not showing up in itunes

when i connect iphone to pc then open itunes the phone does not appear to allow for backup to icloud or to pc

Go through the troubleshooting steps in this article: iOS device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.  Also, you don't back up to iCloud using iTunes or your computer.  You only use wifi on the phone (connect it to wifi and your charger, then lock the screen).

    Why isn't my phone not showing up in itunes?

    Funny, I had the same problem today for the first time.  I had to connect it with the sync cable for it to show.  Normally, it's always there waiting for a wireless sync.  Strange!

  • HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

    I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts.  I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

  • I downloaded an ap on my phone, but it does not show up in iTunes

    i downloaded a game on the phone from the ap store, but it does not show up in iTunes...how do i fix that?

    It might not be compatible with the iPad or the iOS version you're running on your iPad (you can check the app store to find out).  You also have to have the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores and have Apps turn to On under Automatic Downloads.

  • My phone is not showing up in itunes.  I want to sync it.  I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes.  What do I do now?  It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac.  Help!

    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.

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Phone is not showing up in iTunes.  I've tried everything.

    I have windows XP, iTunes 7.0.1.8, and a Motorola SLIVR.
    When I connect my phone to my computer via USB, it sometimes does not show up in iTunes. if it does show up, anytime i try to transfer songs, or delete songs, or access the phone's music files in any way, i get an error message that says "The mobile phone "SLIVR" cannot be updated. Thre required folder was not found." and no changes are made.
    Here is what I've done to attempt to correct:
    1. Reinstalled iTunes with the latest download from their site. no luck.
    2. Checked my USB settings on phone, it is set to Memory Card.
    3. Un-plugged and restarted my computer and phone.
    4. Tried re-formating, but the option wasn't there. I went to Settings>Phone Status>Storage Devices>Card, which took me to the Details page on my card. I hit the menu key, and there is no option to format. The only thing in the menu says "Copy All Text".
    5. Plugged a different SLIVR in, and it still did not work.
    6. Plugged my SLIVR into a different computer, and it works (had to re-sync and erase all my files, but was able to transfer songs to my phone).

    it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.

  • Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring

    Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring  I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

    can some one help please, i have followed all of apples advice!!

    "i have followed all of apples advice!!"
    No idea what this means, unless you say what you have tried. When you say that you have tried "all", it really does not encourage anyone to make suggestions.  If you have tried it all, then, by definition, there is nothing left to try.
