When I connect my shuffle to ITunes, the SOURCE category doesn't show up!
HELP! My shuffle (bought it off of ebay two weeks ago) has been working fine. But today I ran into a problem. I plug it into Itunes, and no SOURCE category shows up. I can't even get the computer to recognize the device.
Please make your response as simple to understand as possible. I am not great with computers.
I already tried restarting the computer several times. I tried turning the Ipod on and off. I have windows 2000 and ITunes 7. Thanks!

I had this same problem. Sometimes, iTunes takes a really long time (and I mean really long time)to recognize the shuffle. Disconnect the dock, plug it back in and insert your shuffle. Be patient and it should [hopefully] appear in the source list.

When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help
Hi there, When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help
Except for the first shuffle model, the shuffle connects to the computer using the headphones jack, so there is no way to play it when it is connected to the computer. I guess maybe I don't understand the question...

Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?
It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -
When i connect my iphone to itunes, the ringtones folder has disappeared..How do i get it back
when i connect my iphone to itunes, on the left hand side when my device shows up..i click the down arrow and the ringtones folder is not there....so i cant add custom ring tones...how do i get it back?
Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Hi, whenever I plug my phone into iTunes, the phone interface pops up and I am given only two options: restore the phone from an old backup, or set the phone up as a new phone. I want to do neither of these things because the phone doesn't need to be restored, and it was set up when I first bought it a couple months ago. Help???

Why when i sync my music from itunes the album pictures do not show on my iphone?
I had music on my itunes, and from my files on my laptop i put the album cover pictures on itunes. However, when i sync my iphone to itunes, only a few pictures show and i dont know whats gone wrong???
The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The only exception is iTunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes.

When I connect my ipad to itunes, my device doesnt show. just the store
When I connect my ipad to itunes, the devices do not show on the side as previously. All I get is the store. I want to sync my items to my ipad and cannot do it. Help!

I had this issue yesterday with an iPAD mini so if Skydivers suggestion (which I do as well) doesn't work, just shut down the iPad and reconnect to your computer/iTunes.

When I connect my shuffle (2nd gen.) to my computer, it says that my ipod is synced with another itunes librar. And that an ipod can be synced with only one itunes library at a time. My shuffle is only synced with the library on this computer. What should I do? I can't play my ipod on the computer, or sync it, charge it....
If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was. Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -
My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

My iPod dispalys this message:
"Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?
