TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
Now, both issues are solved:
Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

Windows does not recognize my iphone name, but itunes does

This is a reqpost of another forum on diff site, but is the exact same problem i have~
After the IOS5 update~ and and updating two phones on same computer~
I have windows 7 x64bit, and the problem is it does not recognize my iPhone's name anymore.. in itunes it shows the correct name but when ever i look at My Computer listed under portable devices the name is wrong instead of being Louie's iPhone it shows Kim's iPhone (My Fiancees iPhone).. i can still access it and get my pictures and stuff but the name of the device is just wrong.. so im hoping you guys know how to solve this problem.. this only started happening when i installed iOS 5...
so to sum it up..
iTunes... Louie's iPhone
Windows... Kim's iPhone
here are the things I already did but did not work...
... uninstalled everything apple, rebooted and reinstalled.
... restored my iPhone as new 3x and still nothing....
I am at a lost here.. so please help me guys? i know you can solve this coz sinful has never failed me before

In Windows 7, it is not possible to change the name by right-clicking and selecting properties! It doesn't work...
The only solution that worked was to search the registry for the incorrect name and adjust it by hand, which strikes me as a pretty ****** solution! Better would be that the Apple USB driver would just use a neutral name like "iPhone". Which makes me wonder what would happen if two iPhones are connected at the same time: how can they be told apart in the "Computer" application?

T60 hard drive replacement - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

Hello All, new to the Lenovo Community. I have a T60 as well as newer Lenovo Edge. The HD crashed on the T60 and it will no longer boot. I just purchased a WD 500GB without doing a lot of research. In trying to install Windows 7 (I had already upgraded the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not see the drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thank you in advance for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Glad I was able to help.
Just be careful, the usual "if it doesn't fit, find a bigger hammer" doesn't apply to this model laptop.
Also, there is a part available to adjust the frustration level, I don't happen to have the FRU number available, but I do have a photo and I'm sure you can find a local shop to provide it. Any experienced vendor should be able to match up a similar item from this photo.
It comes in many varieties, this model has a handy extention to aid in installation so you can easily do it with one hand. Others may require two hands to safely install. Use care when installing, one slip can destroy your laptop. Acute abuse can lead to severe embarassing situations and cronic abuse can have impact on your health, so use wisely and always get a spare to share with a friend. They tend ot come conviently packaged in quantity of 6, so you can invite a few friends over.
This invention has saved many a laptop from sailing out of windows worldwide.

HT201302 My PC (windows xp) does not recognize the iPhone as a digital camera. What do I do?

The iPhone 3G does not show up in My Computer, but syncs OK with iTunes, no problem. I need to back up my photos on the iPhone!! Any help appreciated. Thanks!

When I connect my iPhone to a PC running Windows XP just to charge it, the scanner and camera wizard launches automatically prompting me what to do about importing the photos in the Camera Roll. I don't recall having to add my iPhone as a camera first. The scanner and camera wizard detected my iPhone as a camera automatically which it should do without having to do anything extra first - as long as there are photos in the Camera Roll.

ITunes does not recognize the iPhone and hang often

Hello,
I am an owner of an iPhone 3GS and am very happy with this device.
However, I still had some problems with the synchronization, since iTunes very often depended on when you connect iPhone and the device was detected only after several cold starts.
Today I found a very simple solution that does not appear to help on your support pages.
I changed the USB setting in the BIOS and the problem appears not to since then.
I have at changed at
Advanced --->>> USB Configuration --->>> Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB Support Enabled was --->>> Enabled
Now, Legacy USB Support is --->>> Auto
I think it would be helpful for your support and their clients, where such a reference would be included on the help pages.
Sorry my english isnt good
Best regards from sunshinig Germany

Hallo,
ich bin seit kurzem Besitzer eines iPhones 3GS und bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Gerät.
Jedoch hatte ich bis heute einige Probleme mit der Synchronisation, da iTunes sehr oft beim Verbinden vom iPhone hing und das Gerät nur nach einigen Kaltstarts erkannt wurde.
Heute habe ich eine sehr simple Lösung gefunden, die nicht in der Hilfe auf Ihren Supportseiten aufgeführt wird.
Ich habe im BIOS die USB-Einstellung geändert und das Problem taucht seitdem nicht mehr auf.
Geändert habe ich bei
Advanced --->>> USB Configuration --->>> Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB Support war --->>> Enabled
Nun ist Legacy USB Support --->>> Auto
Ich denke, daß es für Ihren Support und ihre Kunden hilfreich wäre, wenn dieser Hinweis auf den Hilfeseiten mit eingebunden würde.

Windows does not recognize my iphone 3gs

Plug in iPhone 3gs. nothing happens.
Plug in iPhone 4.. works perfect. iTunes. everything.
this 3g is in recovery mode. without a working sim card.

Borrow an older phone for about two weeks. Use that as your device (have your carrier assign your number to that device temporarily). Then send in your phone.
Or, get a pay-as-you go phone for a month, and tell your friends, family, coworkers the new temporary number. Then you'll have time to send in the device.
Or, ask Apple Support about the Express Replacement option. They'll overnight you a replacement phone for $29 shipping, with a credit card hold in the amount of the full retail price of your phone (8GB: $375, 16GB: $599, 32GB: $699), which will be released once you send in your original device and they process it through the repair center.

Must have OS 10.6.5 to be compatible to the iphone 5 but the computer does not recognize the device

I downloaded OS X 10.6.5 in order to sync my new iphone 5 to my mac. After doing so the computer does not recognize the iphone. I switched the backup from iCloud to sync to the computer when plugged in but nothing happens.

If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:

Computer with Windows Vista SP 2 and Desktop 5.0.0.11 does not recognize the BB via USB

Hi all,
I have had an 8100 for some time. Recently the desktop will communicate to the 8100 via bluetooth but Windows does not recognize the 8100 when I plug it in via USB. I have tried downloading and reinstall the desktop with no luck.
Suggestions?
Jim

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

You are trying to download "iTunes" to your iPhone?

Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

One thing that might help.
When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.
Hope this helps.

Windows does not recognize ipod nano

i cannot get windows (or itunes) to recongize my ipod nano. once in connect the ipod, i get the 'do not disconnect' message indefinately. it used to work. it reinstalled itunes, reset my ipod, etc. any suggestions?

thanks, but the troubleshooter assumes windows is recognizing the ipod. in my case it is not. i download itune 7.0 just in case. same problem exists. in fact, since windows does not recognize the ipod, itunes eventually freezes up.

Windows does not recognize ipod whatsoever

This is so frustrating.
I just bought a new ipod video after giving up on my old ipod.
Windows does not recognize the new ipod at all, not even as an extra drive. I'm tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, restoring the ipod, connecting to different ports. No such luck. I've read up on the past posts concerning this problem with no luck.
Can anyone help me?

here's a bit here's what microsotft says:
To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325 11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Restart the computer.
it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact wording
