When Itunes is open, I plug the iphone in, and it is not coming up as a device in itunes. How do I get it to show up so I can sync?

Can someone tell me why my iphone has begun not to show up in the device area of Itunes when I plug it into my computer? How can I reset something so it does show up, in order to sync it.

You my want to check the preference tab in iTunes to see if your iPhone is set to auto detect. I'd look there first.

I have the iPhone 4 and it is not updating my software to iOS 5.1, how do I fix it?

I have the iPhone 4 and it is NOT jailbroken or anything, but whenever I try to update it to iOS 5.1 it says it can't connect to a network. When I used my phone, it says there was an error. How do I get it to update?

There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?

If you are talking about sending photos via messaging then:
Have you turned on MMS Messaging in Settings?
See Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging and turn this ON.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-pair your library with iTunes.
Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

What exactly are you trying to do? PVRs are for recording from TV not computers.
Either way, if it's complaining about DOS mode, it's Windows oriented software and not Mac compatible.

My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy on music on iTunes. someone help?!

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

I accidently deleted a few photos on my iPhone 5c and they are not in deleted photos folder. Is there a way to get them back?

I accadently deleted photos on my iphone 5c and they are not in my deleted photos folder. I did not back up my photos, is there anything I can do to get them back?

restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
ideally... were you backing up to icloud? if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced. Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up

TS3297 When I try to open iTunes i get that this message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." I have downloaded the lastest version and it has not changed the message. What should I do next?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

I got the iphone 5 and it does not show as a device in itunes??

how do i get my iphone 5 to show as a device in itunes?

The iPhone 5 running iOS 6 requires iTunes 10.7. Start iTunes on your computer and use the menu to see About iTunes and determine the version. Is it 10.7? If not you must update iTunes.
Note that iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher on a Mac.
If your iTunes is already at 10.7 then reboot your computer and reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HT204053 I originally had an Apple ID when I got my iPad. This is the one associated with the app store; however, I now have two. The second one comes up when I try to log into the app store and it will not log me in. How do I get the original one to s

I'm beginning to feel totally frustrated and functionally illiterate. I've been trying to log into the app store. The apple Id that shows is not the original one I set up when I got my iPad. When I enter the password for the Id that shows, I get the message that I cannot log in. Is there a way for me to change which id shows up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
