It will probably not appear until you put it into Recovery Mode. See the instructions here, If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support See the section on Recovery Mode. If necessary after that, see this, If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
