Why can I not add my Iphone 5s to my itunes devices on my windows 8 laptop?

I just bought myself my first iphone, the 5s. When I went to add it to itunes to add music to it, it doesn't come up no matter how many times I plug it in and take it out. I have reinstalled itunes and everything. I have tried my old ipofd touch and itunes is not recognising that either. it isn't finding any devices.
I want to do this so I can delete some of the apps that came with the phone, eg stocks as I am a girl in college who is not interested in that type of app. Another question I have is how to I get rid of the music from icloud that has been put onto my iphone as I don't want it on there. I only want specific music on my phone. Please help me, my stress levels are begining to go through the roof!

From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later. You can install the latest version of iTunes.
Click Music, on the left side of iTunes.
Select the item you want to delete.
Right-click the item and choose Delete. You'll be asked to confirm this action.
If the item you want to delete is in iTunes on your computer and in iCloud, select the option to delete the item from iCloud.
Best of luck,

    Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod. My ipod is 60 gb version 1.3. I think a 5th generation

    Kristy,
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks?  To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

    Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

    Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

  • HT204081 why can i not read the books i bought on itunes on my itunes/computer?

    i was just wondering why can i not read my books on my computer that i just bought online on the itunes store. do i have to download anything speffic?

    ibooks bought from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch - so far Apple haven't made a Mac or PC reader for them, so you won't be able to read them on your Mac.

  • TS1436 why can i not burn onto a cd with latest itunes

    Amber74 yes. You need to update your BIOS. Go to your manufacturers site and look for the latest update. There is a problem with Windows and P55 chipset in relation to USB ports. That should resolve it for you.

  • Why can I not upgrade my iPhone 4 iOS from version 5.1.1 to 6.x?

    I don't have enough memory, nor do I wish to upgrade to 7.x. I only want to upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6.1.2 at the latest. Why does Apple not let you do this?

    Because 7.1.1 is the lastet IOS version and that is the version you'll  get when you update.
    You should've updated to IOS 6 when it first came out.

  • Why can I not sync my iPhone 4 to my main computer?

    Okay, I'm having two iTunes related problems on my main PC/Gaming computer. I don't know if the problems are related.
    First: It's running Windows 7 and iTunes 64bit. iTunes is up to date.
    Problem 1) There are two iPhone 4s in the house. Mine and dads. Mine used to connect before iOS 5 hit. I updated to iOS 5, and I can no longer connect the iPhone to this computer. Dad's iPhone runs iOS 4 and works fine. the iOS5 iPhone is up to date.The iOS5 iPhone connects to the dining room PC (Also Windows 7 64bit, iTunes up to date)
    Problem 2) Every now and then iTunes pops up an error saying "Unable to save iTunes Library. There isn't enough memory" or something.
    It has 404GB of HDD Space left and it's a 6GB computer.

    Assuming that iTunes is installed in the default C drive location, if that drive is full, that could explain the error.  Might be worth moving some items from the C drive to other drives, or purging some unnecessary stuff.

  • Why can I not add certain "files to iPhone because iTunes match enable on this iPhone?"

    I have some files on my computer I tried to transfer to my iPhone 3GS. They are mp3s of talks/lectures. No copyright issues. But iTunes tells me that they cannot be added because I have iTunes match enabled on that phone. Any ideas?

    iTunes says these files are not eligible for iCloud. So I can't upload them. They are not songs. I've turned iTunes Match off both on my computer and my iPhone. Still cannot add them to my iPhone. Not sure what to do beyond this.

  • Why can i not connect my iphone 4S via bluetooth to my macbookair?

    i have tried to connect my iphone 4s via bluetooth and it says that my macbook air is not supporting this feature after i follow all the steps when connecting. Can someone help me with this problem?

    The only thing you can connect an iPhone to your Macbook over BT for would be tethering, which would be done through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, not the BT settings. iOS doesn't support the BT profiles for trasferring files.
