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.

  • 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

    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

  • Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

    I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
    Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
    Setup
    So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
    In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
    I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
    At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
    Goal
    However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
    Tried
    So...I click on iTunes DJ.
    I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
    I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
    Problem
    However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
    Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
    Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
    I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
    The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
    Question
    So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
    I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
    ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • 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?
