Iphone 4S is not recognized by windows 7 after itunes 11 install

The driver will not install correctly for device, iphone 4s, after itune 11 is installed. The iphone is therefore never recognized by windows 7. I using the usb-iphone cable.

See this tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. If you didn't use all of these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes you should do it this way. Note that the installation requires Administrator privileges to remove and install.
Also, if you are using a USB hub for the iPhone connection, try a USB port directly on the computer.

Iphone 4 is not recognized by Windows Vista

everyting was working great! iTunes recognoized the phone, synching was fine then...
the iphone is not recognized by Vista, no drivers are present in Device manager and the iphone does not even USB charge when plugged in to the PC.
I've reistalled iTunes but the drivers still do not show up.
I've tried to find the drivers on the Apple site but cannot find them.
Help!

I have had the same problem two times with two different iphones (3gs and 4). After spending more than 1 hour on the phone with apple support, the only thing that worked was using windows xp on another computer to update ios. The funny thing is that when updating to 4.1 I again used Vista and it worked. I suspect it is a firewall problem but don't know how to solve. If you update using xp you can go back and return all your apps, photos, etc from Vista, just make sure you backup before using xp.

My iphone 2g is not recognized by windows 7

i have an original iphone that is no longer recognized by windows. I only have windows 7 running at this time. Windows recognizes that "something" is there, but it cannot identify the iphone and disables it. I don't think this phone has been updated to whatever the most recent OS is for the 2g. The phone won't charge on any pc running iTunes either and can only be wall-charged now.
Any ideas??

I would try updating iTunes first and then try again.

My iPhone 4 is not recognized by Windows 7 but syncs with iTunes.

Driver fails to load. Device manager considers my iPhone a MTP USB.
I have deleted and re-installed iTunes with no resolution.
I have read several strings regarding Autoplay. Nothing seems to work.

iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1. My wife's iphone 5 had no issues. I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports. Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone. Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device". Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side. My wife's works both ways. I can't explain it, but there it is. I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

Iphone not recognized by Windows 7

iPhone 4 no longer recognized by Windows 7, 64-bit desktop. The iTunes diagnostic shows everything working satisfactorily, and Windows Control Panel, under Devices and Printers, shows the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". The Properties for that device show the driver as working properly. However, when I plug the iPhone into a USB port (using both a port and cable that formerly worked fine with this iPhone), Windows attempts to install a driver, and fails. The resulting message is "MTP USB Device Device driver software was not successfully installed". Further investigation gives me a message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)".

This problem is very simple to solve. NO UNINSTALLATION REQUIRED.
If your experiencing with this problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Completely Turn-OFF your Apple Device (iphone, ipod touch or ipad)
2. Connect your Apple device to your windows PC or laptop USB.
3. Once it is connected, your apple device will turn-ON automatically.
4. Once it is ON, Enter your password or if you have. You will notice "Installation of driver" at the right side of your task bar. (icons located below at the right side of your monitor near the clock)
5. While it is installing, wait for the Notice "Failed Installing the driver".
6. Do not close the message.
7. Right click My Computer and click Manage. Click Device Manager and right click "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" then click Scan for hardware Changes"
8. After that, you will notice, windows will again "Install the driver".
9. Driver Installation Successful.
10. Right now, you can open and view your pictures from your Apple device in your computer.
Note: The good thing of this solution is you can apply it in any windows OS computer where you get an error or problem once you connect your Apple device in it.
I hope this will help.

My iphone 5s is not recognized by Itunes so I cannot sync with my windows 8.1 . my ipod touch will but not my Iphone. do you have a solution?

My IPhone 5S is not recognized on my Itunes so I cannot transfer music from my library to my phone. I use window 8.1 OS. My ipod touch is recognized so the problem is limited to my IPhone 5S. I have tried the solutions offered by Apple support What can I do?

I had a similar problem with my iPhone and fixed it. You might as well give this a try even if your iPod works. This is what I did. (Follow these steps):
1. Make sure your phone is not connected/plugged to your computer then continue on step 2.
(For some reason, apparently iTunes also get installed to iPhone's which makes it sort of faulty.)
2. By going to your computer's Control Panel - Uninstall itunes. To completely uninstall itunes you need to uninstall 5 programs in this very sequence. (You have to make sure you follow this in order.)
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
3. Then simply re-install the latest iTunes. Go tohttp://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ , on the left side of that page you'll see a blue botton that say's "Download Now". Press that button and it should allow you to make sure that you've downloaded the latest iTunes.
4. Once you've reinstalled it go ahead and start iTunes and connect/plug your iPhone to your computer. iTunes should now be able to recognise your iPhone.
5. If it still does not work try unplugging your Iphone again, restart your computer and connect your Iphone once more. See it your computer recognises your device.
Steps 1-4 worked out real well for me so I hope it does for you too. If still a no no why not try and contact apple themselves they should be able to give help.
Got all this info with an Apple person. Cheers.

Iphone not recognized by windows or itunes

Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this issue? My iphone 4 is not recognized by my PC. My OS is by Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. I tried the various "device not recognized" troubleshooting to no avail. I tunes is up to date. I even turned off my security sw for a bit to see if there was a third party conflict...all to no avail. There has got to be someone out there who has the smarts to show me how to fix this. Please advise and many thanks in advance!

Jason,
I understand why Apple doesn't cover the water damaged phones under the warranty, but do you know why they don't fix them if the customer is paying? Is it just because they want the people to buy another phone so they can make more money? I guess I just don't get it.
The cost to repair a device and all of its components is more than the cost of a new device.
Other than the article I linked above, this is the part of the warranty/legal forms that would apply:
+"US v1.0+
+Apple reserves the right to refuse+
+service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to+
+accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other+
+than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider), unauthorized modification, extreme environment+
+(including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference,+
+fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external+
+causes. In such event, Apple may return the product to you without servicing it, and may charge you the+

Try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update. See also TS1363: iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes.
