TS1591 Original iPhone (2007 model) won't appear in iTunes devices.

I have just found my old original iPhone (2007) I have the at 2011 macbook pro 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
Running OS X 10.8.2
iTunes is 11.0.2.
I have restarted the computer and the iphone and yet the iphone doesn't appear in my iTunes devices?
The iPhone actually works as it still has a bit of credit so I can make and receive calls on it. It has music and pictures still on it etc. So it works. But it will not connect to my MacBook Pro?
Any advise please.

Ok results.
My original iPhone 2007 first model that was released seems to no longer work with the latest updates of iTunes and OSX10.8
I tried in an Apple shop with all new computers and none registered my iPhone even connecting to them. I have an uptodate MacBookPro running OSX10.8.3 This computer will not register my iPhone. A friend also has an uptodate iMac running OSX 10.8.3
However I have an old der MacBookPro (2008) running OSX 10.7 and bing the iphone worked straight away.
Additionally I have an old Mac Mini (2005) running OSX10.7 and the iphone worked straight away with this.
Having owned Mac computers for nearly 20 years now I'm reasonably savvy with them. So my conclusion is that Whilst original iPhones may not be officially dropped by Apple....it would appear that they have!

Iphone charges on my computer, but doesn't appear in itunes devices

My iPhone, which I have used with my laptop before, will now not appear in iTunes, but the phone is charging. I'm not getting any error messages, and the charge is normal - it just won't appear in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes.

Yeah, I followed the advice they gave me at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and I restarted everything. I decided to hook it up to my Windows XP laptop and it began to charge, but then said that the USB device was not working properly. My Mac doesn't give that message. I did a soft reset on the phone, but I'm reluctant to do a hard reset, since the last time I did that I was on the phone with tech support for several hours over the course of several days.

My Iphone and Ipad wouldn't appear in itunes when i connect them to my mac. I have already upgraded my itunes to the latest version. I have no problem synching my ipod though. Could it be because I am using an older mac? (Mac OS X version 10.4.11)?

Neither my iphone nor my ipad would appear in itunes when i connect them to my mac. I have already upgraded my itunes to the latest version. I have no problem synching my ipod to itunes using the same mac though. Could it be because I am using an older mac? (Mac OS X version 10.4.11)?

You need to be using a Mac OS X version at least as new as the one given in the device's original system requirements.

Help - Apple TV won't appear in iTunes

Everything was working fine. Now it's not. My Apple TV (2.0.2) won't appear in iTunes (7.6.2) on my Macbook (10.5.3).
I can ping it. I can stream music through it (airtunes). Yes, iTunes is set to look for Apple TVs. No, no firewall is blocking anything. Mine is still listed there (in iTunes preferences) to sync with but it does not show up in the devices list.
Things I've tried:
- reset Apple TV
- cut power to Apple TV and reboot it
- reboot my Macbook
- reinstall iTunes
Things I've installed recently:
- Firefox 3.0 RC 3
- Safari 4.0 developer preview
- 1password beta
But I wouldn't think those would do anything.
Help!

OK, I got it to work. At first, I didn't understand your last question, because all that happens is a code is displayed on the screen. But then I realized that maybe when that happens it is then broadcasting itself, and sure enough it shows up in the devices list while the code is displayed.
I'm glad it's working now but I wonder what caused it to lose it's connection. Something happened to my Mac recently that has caused some things to behave oddly. I think I put it asleep, threw it in a bag and toted it around - but that it wasn't actually asleep the whole time. (Other symptoms I've seen are lost preferences, failure to sync events added on the iphone back to iCal, etc.)
Thanks for the help!

My G3 Won't appear on Itunes or Desktop. Think I've tried everything...

I have a MAC OS X Version 10.3.9
My generation 3 Ipod won't appear on ITunes or my MAC desktop.
I have tried all of the suggestions on the page everyone kindly directs me to (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950).
I have borrowed several cables to no effect.
I can't restore my Ipod ( because it won't communicate with my MAC)
I have a 100 GB external HD with firewall.
The last time my Ipod worked it was plugged into the external HD.
Should I buy a new cable with a USB plug?
Do I have dead "plug-ins" on my MAC?
Help...I need my daily podcasts for the hour-long commutes.
Thanks

I have tries the cable on another Mac and my ipod did appear. So the problem lies with the Mac and not the iPod.
Will a USB connector help? What other things should I try. Help!

How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?

My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

- Reboot the computer
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try again.

IPod won't appear in iTunes or in My Computer. Help please

Hello
my iPod is fully charged (2nd gen nano), and charged up last night.
When i plug it in to put more songs on, it won't appear in iTunes or my computer. I know that the USB port is working fine, becuase i tried my pen drive and that was fine, and the iPod screen lights up.
I've dont the first 4 R's - Reset, Retry, Restart and Reinstall.
But i don't really want to do Restroe, because it will wipe everything off my iPod, and if i then still can't get it to sync, then i'm abit screwed.
Any toher ideas from anyone?
Any help would be good
thankyouu

When the screen lights up, is there anything on the display? If it's just a white lit up screen, try to force it into disk mode (which can be difficult if you can't see anything). Essentially, turn the hold switch off so there's no orange color beneath it, hold the menu & middle buttons for 10 seconds and then immedidately hold the middle & play/pause buttons for 10 seconds. If it appears in iTunes at this point you may want to consider restoring.
If this is not the case and you see the normal display when it's connected to the computer, I'd suggest connecting it to a different USB port (preferably one directly on the back of the computer - avoid connecting the iPod via USB hubs, keyboards, printers, etc). Try this step even though your USB port works with other devices. You might also try a different USB cable if you have one from another iPod.

Shuffle 3G won't appear in iTunes 9.0.1

Got a new Shuffle last week...synced it in iTunes 9.0 on my iMac.
Yesterday I updated to iTunes 9.0.1
Yesterday I plugged in the Shuffle and it won't appear in iTunes. So I plugged it into my daughter's Windows PC that had iTunes 9.0. Shuffle appeared fine, but of course wasn't synced to that PC and I didn't want to have it connected to my daughter's PC.
Tried again today on the Mac with every available USB port...no luck. Tried again on PC...worked fine. Then I updated the PC to 9.0.1 just to see if it was the cause...and sure enough, the Shuffle will now NOT appear on the Windows PC!
Is this a known problem? I can't find any google hits about it.

I followed the instructions posted here
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/shuffle2gen/#
I just did the first step which said reset ipod by taking it out of the cradle turning it off for 5 seconds and turning it back on then returning the switch to the off position before putting it back in the cradle and it showed up! But it appears to be empty now (no songs showing up)
or maybe you might try this ipod reset utility if above does not work

Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7 Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.

IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB. No problem with my iPhone. Anyone else with this problem? Any solution? (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it. Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link. So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Backup device file not appearing in iTunes Device Preferences

While performing 1st time backup for my iPad to iTunes MacBook, the process was interrupted halfway through. As such, I deleted the registered backup file from iTunes Devices Preferences/device/device backup and attempted to reinitiate the backup process. I have to restart MacBook because the iTunes File/Devices turns grey and I am not able to click on it. Restarting gets me to inititiate the back up and transfer purchase. The problem now the device name is not appearing at iTunes Devices Preferences/device/device backup. I am not sure if the backup is successful/complete and if so where is the files? How do I make the file appear so I can transfer the data / apps to my new ipad air via iTunes. Pls help...
