Trying to connect my replacement Iphone 3GS to my windows 7 laptop but it is not recognised at all, my ipod can connect no problem, my iphone can connect to my windows vista computer no problem. Any ideas?

More info,
I have bootcamp with Windows 7 installed, do I need to run some "Driver compatibility checker" after the Windows 7install?
if so what is the name of it?
thanks

if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..

HT203175 I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

I updated the iphone software from 4.3 and now it will not recognise the sim card or complete activation. I have iphone 3gs, itunes 10 and windows 7

Hi - can someone help please? I recently update to ios 5 from ios 4.3 and updated Itunes to 10. On restart and configuration as part of activation process, it tells me that activation is not possible and itunes tells me that iphone does not have a sim card (it does). I seem to be stuck - can anyone please help?

TS1363 I have itunes in windows 8 but it does not recognise my ipod. Any tips on getting it to work and be able to Sync?

I have itunes installed on my computer, I have a new laptop with windows 8. It does not seem to recognise my ipod and therefore I cannot sync it. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
See also Corrupt iPod classic.
It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

You have to import the music into your iTunes library and then sync it to your iPod

You import them as you would with any digital camera.
Pics taken with iphone are not part of the sync process at all.

Could be a problem with the 30-pin connector port or the cable. Is there an Apple Store or Apple authorized support center nearby?

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

You might want to take a look at Printopia....although you may find that you need to have the printer connected directly to your computer for this work.
If you try it out, please post back with your results.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...
