TS1363 iphone 5c not displayed as a device in itunes. Therefore unable to sync this new phone from a backup made yesterday. Any help appreciated.

Unable to get new iphone 5c recognized as a device in itunes for syncing purposes. Backup from old phone made yesterday and now would like to sync new phone from that backup. Any advice appreciated.

Even if I enable the new phone to backup automatically with the cloud? Wouldn't that keep everything up to date? And if I use the software, couldn't I choose to copy just the music & messages to I tunes, and not select anything else to keep the data from the new phone intact? Sorry, this is confusing. I like these products, but Apple really fails on portability. I had this same issue with Ipod years ago, and it ****** me off then too. They sold me (the last time I lost everything) on the icloud, telling me it backed EVERYTHING up. I'm a bit upset at store personnel right now to say the least.
Sorry I was under the impression you still wanted to restore from your old phone backup.
yes if you enable backup on your new phone everything will be up to date.
Yes you can use the software to move music and message to your computer - you would need to add the music back to your iTunes media library.
I provided a link with what is backup to icloud. YOur purchased item is always tied to your apple id.

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

Hi emelville,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions that may help:

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:

HT1386 My husband and I both upgraded from the 3 to the iPhone 4. When activating them, it copied all of my stuff to my new phone. Then we did my husbands....and he got all of my stuff too! Instead of what was on his old iphone 3. Help. Please.

My husband and I upgraded from the iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4. I activated mine and all was good. I activiated his and while syncing....instead of transfering his contacts, apps and ect. All of my contacts, apps and ect. were loaded on his phone as well. How do I change this. Please help. Thank you!

At this point it would be best to restore both phones. Do backups of both old phones, and restore new phones from those backups. (make you choose the correct backup for each phone or you'll back were you started).
You can use multiple devices with the same computer, and even the same itunes library. Howevever, it may be easier just to set up seperate user accounts on the computer for the future.

When I move items to trash the trash does not register as full and therefore I cannot empty it. My Mac is almost full so any help on this will be gratefully received.

Hi,
I have moved items to my trash however they are not registering in my trash and I therefore cannot delete them.
My Mac is almost full and so any help on this is gratefully received.
Many thanks

Millicentmac,
would you flesh out “almost full” above? That is, what size internal disk do you have, and how much free space remaining do you have?

I have activated iCloud on iPad2 and iPhone4S (both on iOS 7) using the same Apple ID and signed into 'Find my iPhone' still my iphone is not visible in my devices. I can only see my iPad.

I have activated iCloud on iPad2 and iPhone4S (both on iOS 7) using the same Apple ID and signed into 'Find my iPhone' still my iphone is not visible in my devices. I can only see my iPad.

On your iPhone, try toggling Find My iPhone off, then back on after a few seconds.

IPhone only shows up as a device in iTunes. Not in iPhoto, Image Capture, or anything else.

Right now, only iTunes sees my iPhone connnected to it. iPhoto doesn't see it, and neither does Image Capture or Xcode. I can sync with iTunes just fine, but I can't get transfer photos from my phone to my MacMini.
I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I recently upgraded to IOS 5. My MacMini is running Lion (10.7.2) & was just purchased last month.

Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
Where's the 2012 version of SCSI Probe when I need it?
