Windows: iphone does not show in itunes

Hi all,
I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my notebook.
I realy dont know what changed but: from one day to the other, itunes does not recognize the iphone any more.
( the cable seems to be ok, since when I connect the iphone to a different computer, itunes fires up ok)
I checked the support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 ), so:
i have the usbaapl.sys file in system32/drivers; ok
the apple serverices are running; ok
BUT: the iphone is not listed under USB devices in the device manager
(btw: the windows camera diaglog fires up as expected, when the iphone is connected )
I restarted my notebook, reinstalled itunes, turned the Iphone off and on - no change.
I realy need my iphone to sync again - so please help.

The only other option I can think, is that you should try a program called revo uninstaller. It will go through and not only uninstall the program but also delete all registry files and files/folders related to the program. Before you do this, you should backup iTunes onto DVDs or to a hard drive.
If this doesn't work, then it is a problem with the Windows OS itself and not with the iPhone software on Windows.
One last thing, when you connect your iPhone, do the following:
-Right click on My Computer and select Manage
-Select Device Manager
-Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers
-Do you see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"?
-Try right clicking on it and select uninstall.
-Disconnect and reconnect your iPhone.

You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard. iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6. So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running. A G5 is a PowerPC. Intel is Intel.
Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
What version of iTunes do you have?
Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine? Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

This has been happening to alot of people since the latest update to iTunes for those that have windows 8 or 8.1

Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

Iphone 3GS does not show as iTunes Device

I've followed all instructions and the troubleshooter and my Iphone 3GS still does not show in Itunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro with Lion installed. Any suggestions?

I tried a different cable and the iphone now shows up so I believe my cable had failed. Hope this is help to others troubleshooting a similar problem.

I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

Ipad 2 does not show in itunes

My ipad 2 was completely dead last night so I plugged it in to charge using the 10W wall charger that came with it and noticed that it did not vibrate when I plugged it in nor did it show the lightning bolt showing it was charging. I left it alone from a few hours and when I checked, it was up to 12%. Normally a few hours will almost fully charge it. I swapped out a few different cables, chargers, and even plugged it into my mac USB, and none of them vibrated and showed the lightning bolt. When I plug it into my Mac, it does not show in iTunes at all under devices. I plugged in my iPhone and iPod and both showed instantly. I decided to leave the paid charge overnight on the wall charger to see what would happen.
This morning it was up to 53%. I updated the iPad 2 software to iOS 5.1.1, updated iTunes to 10.6.1, updated all software on my Mac (I have OS X 10.6.8) and still doesnt show in iTunes and none of the chargers or cables make it vibrate when plugged in and none show the charging bolt. I deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver and then reinstalled thinking perhaps the mobile device driver was messed up - didnt help.
On the iPad 2, I went to settings/general/reset/reset network settings - no help.
Of course, throughout this I have reset my Mac several times, reset the iPad both by sliding the bar to shut down and by holding down the reset button & home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, and as stated above tried several wall chargers and USB cables that works on my other i products. So I do not think its something obvious like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
ITunes 10.6.1

Let me know when you figure this out. I am experiencing the exact same situation. Just started this morning after I switched my mobileme account to icloud. I can see my iphone in itunes, but when I plug my ipad in, nothing. Not on any computer. I have always been able to sync and charge with no trouble. Now my ipad is slowly turning in to a door stop.
Help!
Thank you!

Iphone does not appear in itunes. _ALL_ recommended steps were taken to no avail

I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit, itunes 10.3.1. I have an iphone 3gs running ios v. 4.3.3. All software and drivers are up-to-date on my computer.
When I open itunes and plug in my iphone, itunes hangs for roughly two solid minutes. After which, my iphone does not appear in itunes. The same thing happens if I reverse the order and plug in my iphone before opening itunes.
I have read and followed all and I mean all the instructions in multiple articles on the apple support site to try and resolve the issue, and nothing has fixed the problem. My impression is that this is a bug in the latest itunes release since the problem started after updating to the latest version of itunes and did not occur previously. Nothing else changed with either my computer or my iphone since then. In all other ways, my computer, all USB devices connected to it, and all other software installed on it function perfectly.
Here are the things I have done that DO NOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM:
- restart apple mobile device service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart ipod service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart my computer
- reset my iphone
- verify that my USB drivers are up-to-date and all USB ports are functioning correctly
- verify that my iphone DOES correctly appear in windows explorer and the device manager
- verify that my security software (norton 360) is updated to the latest version
For the record I am not running any third-party phone software.
Here is the only thing I have found that works, however, it works ONLY for the first time I open itunes afterwards. After syncing ONE TIME, the next time I open itunes, the problem comes back exactly like before.
- completely uninstall, and then reinstall all apple software in precise accordance with instructions given on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
I honestly don't expect anyone to have a solution to this issue, but I will be thrilled if there is one. I am posting primarily to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, and hopefully to gain the attention of a developer who can hopefully institute a fix.

Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

After updating my iPhone 4S to IOS6 my iPhone does not appear in iTunes.

After I updated my iPhone 4S to IOS6, I experienced the following issues.
1. My iPhone would not connect to WIFI, even though the WIFI icon on my iPhone indicated that it was. This in it self cost me $239.00 in excess data usage. I have since got the WIFI working by resetting my iPhone.
2. Since I have fixed the WIFI issues, I can not connect to iTunes to restore from backup. My iPhone does not show up in iTunes either via USB or WIFI.
So my iPhone has non of my music, photo's, apps or settings.
So if anyone has a solution to my issues please let me know.
Cheers.
