Why doesn't my iphone show up in itunes when I plug into Mac?

I just updated my Mac Book from Leopard to Snow Leopard.  When I plug my iphone 4 in and open itunes it does not list my phone.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

  • Neither my iPod Touch nor my iPhone will show up in iTunes when I plug in through the USB cable.  My software is updated, I've restarted everything, I've reset the devices, but still no luck.  Help?!

    Check your System Profiler to see if your computer is recognizing them. You may need to reset the computers SMC.

    my iphone 4 only turns on when its plugged into a wall and when it finally turns on it lasts for about a minute then it turns off and while its on the signal says searching, what should i do?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                       
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace yur battery for less. Google for more.

    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement costs about $10

  • My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

    If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

  • Downloaded 5.01 and latest itunes. Had errors on iphone needed to restore now when i plug into itunes it freezes  I need to use task master to close.if i plug my wifes phone in no problems with itunes  took it to apple store tech no help.

    Have iphone 3g with 5.0  I downloaded 5.01 for phone and itunes latest download. Had errors on download and needed to restore. Everything came back except apps.
    Pluged into itunes and it gave me the restore screen. restored again.  Now when i plug into itunes it shows my phone but freezes up. I need to use task master to close itunes. Went to apple store tech. No help  said to use Icloud but no WiFi is available.  My wife's phone works fine with itunes.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • Why doesn't my number show up in iTunes or on my iPhone 5S (everything is up to date and I don't know why this is happening)?

    I've had to change SIM cards with my provider to have working 3G/4G. It works but the odd thing is when I plug my iPhone and I'm on iTunes. I don't see my number showing up. I see n/a each time. I know I have a number but it's not showing up I can make calls and text but it doesn't show my number. In my contacts section I don't see my number either. Why is this?

    You have a hardware issue.  Try a different USB port.  If that doesn't work, try a different docking/charging cable.  If that fails, check the USB properties in Device manager.  The ports MUST be USB 2.0.
    Also, try using a different computer....

  • HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

    I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
    Appreciatively,
    Donna

    I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

  • Why doesn't my ipad show up on itunes so i can sync it?

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook from early 2008, and I was told this should allow me to sync my devices. However, my iPad isn't showing up on iTunes. I tried both USB ports, which work well for everything else, and it hasn't helped. I also get the "Trust this computer" question on my ipad, but my mac doesn't recognize that there's anything hooked up.

    Have you already run the software updates? What version of iTunes is running on the computer?
    Try updating your Mac, follow this -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps

  • HT201269 why can't i sync my new iphone 5c to my itune when i plug my phone to my pc..it does not show sync panel like the previous iphone 4 that i have brought two years ago?

    Can anyone help me? Previously i was using iphone4 and everything is ok until i just change to iphone 5c. Whenever i plug the iphone4 in my cpu,it automatically sync to the itune when i can delete or store new photos from my pc to my iphone4..but after i change to the new iphone5c,i can't sync to my pc when i plug it to my pc...can anyone help?

    You can get your photos off your phone.  If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly.  For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).
