Why isn't my iPhone 5s showing up on iTunes?

Okay so I have a macbook pro and lately my iTunes just randomly started to not recognize my iPhone 5s. Because when I plug it in, nothing happens! But, when I plug in my iPad mini, it shows up and is able to back up and sync my music! Why is that??

    Why isn't my phone not showing up in itunes?

    Funny, I had the same problem today for the first time.  I had to connect it with the sync cable for it to show.  Normally, it's always there waiting for a wireless sync.  Strange!

  • Why won't my iphone 4 show up in itunes

    I have an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 and a Macbook Pro running 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1 (b10).
    For some reason, in the last few days, my iPhone won't show up in iTunes any more. I generally have a LOT of devices plugged in, but I've tried running with only the iPhone and the external drive with my iTunes library plugged in.
    I've tried multiple iPhone cables, tried rebooting the machine.
    I've tried adding the Applications --> iTunes --> Show Package Contents --> Contents --> MacOS --> iTunesHelper to my Login Items
    iTunes still detects my AppleTV in Devices, but the iPhone won't show up.
    When I plug in the phone it goes to charging mode, so I know that a connection is being made.
    Any suggestions, tips, or links I can pursue to try to be able to resync my phone?

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5S show up in iTunes?

    I know there are a lot of posts about this; basically, I am running Windows 8.1 on my laptop and I have downloaded the newest iTunes software.
    When I plug my iPhone 5S (ios 8.0.2) into my laptop, Windows recognises it, but iTunes will not. I have tried all of the fixes I have read, I have followed the Apple Troubleshooting for when devices aren't being recognised, to no avail. I have updated my drivers through Windows Device Manager, I have tried restarting, disabling and enabling Apple Mobile Device through Windows Services. I have restarted my computer, I have reset my phone, and still nothing! I have took all Apple software off my computer and re-installed everything, but still getting nowhere.
    PLEASE can someone offer some advice?!
    Like I say, I know there are a lot of posts about itunes/windows 8 issues such as this, I am only posting a new one cause I have tried everything I've read so far!
    Thanks!

    Why isn't my contact app showing?

    I'm having the same problem as well - on both the iPhone4 and iPad.  I can see my subscriptions if I sign in via Safari on either of the devices, but if I try to use the built in YouTube app, it says I have no subscriptions.  This started sometime on the 11th for me. I remember watching videos that morning through the app, but they were gone when I tried that afternoon.

  • Why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes

    why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes when I plug it into my computer

    Since you got a new MBP, does it have Lion or Mountain Lion, and what version of iTunes?
    If current it should see the iPhone.  If it will not, try attaching in recovery mode, start iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable to the iPhone...should put it in recovery mode and iTunes should then see it.
    Don't go to restore from backup since you don't have that on this computer.  You can backup and update the iOS.
