Why isn't my iphone showing up in finder or itunes?

My iphone4 is not showing up in Finder or Itunes.
I have the latest Itunes software 10.4. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8
I have tried restarting and resetting the Iphone. Updating Itunes. Restarting the computer.
It is actually my daughter's Iphone and she is getting ready to go off to college and really needs to update & sync her phone.
Please help.

i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors.

  • Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?

    Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it.  Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?

  • Ipod not showing up in finder or itunes

    I had to replace my old ipod and got this new 5th generation video one. i synched it once and haven't done it again in about 3 or 4 months, now it won't show up in finder or itunes. Tried reseting it... nothing. have upgraded to itunes 7.1.1, still nothing. i can't restore because it doesn't show up anywhere...any suggestions?
    susie

    I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, then reinstalled
    iTunes. Then I reset the ipod once I connected and
    VIOLA! Now it works (2 trips to apple store and 1
    replacement ipod later!!)
    Not to sound lazy, but not sure I want to go tthrough all of that?...
    I have 3 connections chords, and two other iPods that show in iTunes no problem. This 5th gen video iPod will just not show up in iTunes or mount?Tried all the solutions posted around and nothing. It is fully charged (does charge etc.,) just won't show on the computer. It is a friend's iPod that I manage, so something might have happened while not in my care?
    Anything else....? I've spent way too much time on this...
