Why doesnt the iphone tab pop up on itunes when i connect my phone

I need help to figure out how to fix that.

Hello KathyLucas1,
It sounds like you have the latest version of iTunes on Mavericks and iOS 7.0.4 on your phone and do not have an Info tab in iTunes to sync your calendar to your device. Mavericks does not use Sync Services so there is no Info tab to click in iTunes. Here is more info from an article explaining why there is no Info tab.
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.

You can use iCloud to sync your calendars from your computer to your phone with the added bonus of not needing to connect your phone physically to your computer to update it.
Set up iCloud on all your devices. The rest is automatic.

  • Why doesnt my iphone 4 show up on itunes when i connect it to the computer?

    when i connect my phone to my laptop it shows up that is found a discoverable device but doesnt show up in my itunes and its starting to bug me... i just want to update my playlist... why does it not work? what do i need to do?

    Hello nataligrinman,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPhone, and when you plug it into the computer you see the Apple symbol appear then disappear quickly. I would start by resetting your iPhone with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that does not correct the issue, I would next put the device into recover mode, and restore it with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • I tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore

    by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
    if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

    am using iphone5s.some time the iphone is showing less signals?when i compare my phone with another phone by keeping side by side the signals are very less?

    Are both phones by Apple?
    I had a Nokia previous to my iPhone 5 & noticed that on the Nokia I had 3.5G signal & 4 bars out of 5 yet on the new phone it shows 3G & 2 or 3 bars, rarely it reaches 5 while outside.

  • Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

    Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

    The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
    Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Why doesnt the iPhone actually tell you when your SMS wasnt sent???

    I get spotty service at my house and 50% of the time my text messages don't send. But thankfully the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send. So usually I end up waiting 10 minutes for a reply and I check and my message hasn't sent. VERY ANNOYING(to me at least). Is there anyway I can get my phone to tell me if a message was sent or not sent? Or can someone sent this up to the Tech Guys at apple so they can include this in their next software update?
    Thanks

    In your first post you say:
    the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send.
    Then in the post above you say:
    i look at my phone to find the little red exclamation point and it says " this message was not sent".
    So, which is it?
    Are you complaining that you choose to wait 10 minutes before checking whether the message has been sent, despite knowing that you "get spotty service at your house"? How is that Apple's fault?
    Why not just wait a few seconds after sending for the iPhone to notify you that it hasn't been sent?

  • Why doesnt the iPhone keep a few percent of battery life up it's sleeve to allow the alarm to go off?

    Fifteen years ago, and for ten years running, spanning Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson and a couple of cheapies, I had the ability to set an alarm and it would wake me in the morning. Even if my phone went flat! I know none of these devices had the same drain as an iPhone, but surely the clever people at apple could design some code that will "kill" the phone at 5% battery so it's got enough charge for the alarm to function.
    Knowing some people would prefer that the phone doesn't shut down at 5%, a setting could be applied in an "alarm clock " section of the "settings" app, or it could be applied only when an alarm is active.
    I just don't think that an iPhone should lack functionality that was available to be on a Nokia 5110 ;-)

    Submit your feedback requesting this feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

    In the meantime, if you plug the iPhone in at night, you shouldn't have a problem.

  • Why doesnt my iphone want to open with itunes.

    the last thing i did was accidently click the eject button on the iphone icon

    I must say I'm most frustrated by apple at the moment! I've tried everything that's been suggested by your so called APPLE Specialists/Bots regardless of my frustrations this is my problem both my itunes on my desktop and laptop or up to date and my ios is updated to on my iphone 5 so this rules out old software issues, my iphone 5 connects to the desktop but not my laptop so now i must leave the comfort of my living room to move all my files from my laptop to my desktop in order to have the files i want onto my iphone and yet this goes against apple policy as i remember apple is supposed to have this slogan that states simplicity for ios 7 yet im seeing nothing simple about been online for 3 hours trying to get a solution to my problem yet all that can be said it go check out iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    no support to the actual problem
    im starting to see why so many people move to android
    i wonder what kind of feedback i will receive from this thread or how long it will stay live for or if it will even go live.
    from a really irritated apple consumer.

  • Why Does My Iphone Keep Popping Up Other Itunes Account Users?

    I have restored my iphone and backed it up from Icloud and now randomly my phone will pop up 4 itunes accounts stating to put their password ( like if you were going to download an app when it asks you to verify your password. I click cancel and it keeps going through all 4 of them until i keep clicking cancel and then it happens another 4 minutes later. Everytime i back up from icloud it does this. ) any solutions?

    How many people are using the computer that you have connected your phone to ?

  • I installed the iphone 2.0 and now iTunes will not connect....

    after installing the iPhone 2.0 software update I get a message in iTunes saying that "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again". I have been trying for 2 hours now. The is now locked just like when I bought it. I can't do anything except make emergency calls. I called the apple store and the genius bar is closed because of the new 3g. I've called apple care and it says no one is available and to call back. I leave for out of town today and now I have an iPhone that doesn't work. What can I do?

    I have had the same issue with the "Unknown Error (-4) message. I need my phone for my business! There is a blog that has been following this error as well:
    http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/davak/2008/07/11/dont-upgrade-right-now-iphone-3g- error-an-unknown-error-occurred-9838/#comment-79440
    One blogger there has been able to resolve the issue so far.
    I'm just going to keep trying to activate until it lets me! They probably have really high volume on their itunes store servers or something.
