Win Vista -, iTunes won't display my iPhone
I've turned off firewall, WinPatrol and my antivirus - I can see the iPhone in My Computer... but the sync and backup buttons are greyed out in iTunes. I can see it with no problem in the other computers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes - PS iTunes will not seee my iPhone 4S or 5S - I'm puzzled
Solved -
By going to R/Click MyComputer > Manage > Devices > System Devices and 'check for hardware etc.. (If iPhone is pluggged in it should appear here... PS it won't show if it isn't plugged in)
All okay now

Please help! My iTunes won't display my voice memos from iPhone 4S when trying to sync data. Files are to large for emailing. I want to back up the files on to my computer.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373 -
So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks
Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!
Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4
If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers. -

Itunes won't display after Yosemite updated to 10.10.1. iTunes will play but no display.
My Mac just updated to 10.10.1. Now iTunes won't display on screen. I can play songs by hitting the play key. If as I am typing this I click on the iTunes icon the tool bar does not show up at top for iTunes, but the tool bar will show up if I shut down safari. How do I get my iTunes app back?

Itunes won't regonize my iphone - running windows 8
itunes won't recognize my iphone - running windows 8
I found this under another post, it works(not stealing credit) just trying to help. Re: Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone Sep 18, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to davidsh_seattle) I was able to fix it! iTunes can now see my iPhone5. I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 And re-installed the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". • Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. • Click "Browse my computer for driver software." • Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." • Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) • In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. • Use this window to navigate to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. • Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). • Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. • Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly. this worked to sync my iphone 5. not i4 or i3 phones(now ipods) In Device Manager I also noticed I had 3 apple drivers under Portable devices. I deleted two of them. I updated the remaining driver, now I can sync my i5, i4 and i3. You may have to View hidden devices. Open device manager view-show hidden devices portable devices apple iphone "highlight" right click, update device if you have multiple apple iphone under portable devices, delete all but one.

ITunes won't load my iPhone but the colour wheel showed up
I've been syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes (I'm using MacBook Pro), but about a month ago after an software update in my iPhone, iTunes won't load my iPhone.
The iTunes recognised my iPhone as the symbol showed up and the colour wheel for loading showed up.
But the colour wheel showed up forever. I've waited for 2 hours and its still there, and I can't click anything in my iTunes although background music is still playing. I had to force quit my iTunes (but my iTunes works normally if there is no phone connected to it)
I've updated my mac to OS X Yosemite, latest, and my iPhone to iOS 8.1.3. I tried resetting network setting on my phone.
PS: I can sync iTunes with my iPod 2nd generation, but not my iPad (same problem).
Please help, I want to sync my phone to iTunes. iPhoto works with my phone!Did you reinstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
