TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes

i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
- The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
- I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages:  "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again".  Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks, Singletrack200

Made a new folder and that solved my problem

    I have a 2 yr old Iphone 4 and have not backed up or connected to Itunes up for 1 yr. I have new Windows 7 computer and want to connect and copy Itunes backed up folder from external HD (a year ago) to new computer and install new Itunes and new IOS. What steps should I take and what precautions? I don't want to lose any data on my phone such as music, photos, contacts, notes, texts etc, nor lose music from prior backed up Itune folder. Apps should be OK from app store? Thanks for any help.

  • Cannot access my Iphone 3gs after upgrading to 5.01

    Hi,
    I bought an unlocked Iphone 16BG 3Gs from eBay. I used it for a week
    TillI connected my Iphone to ITunes and they notify me I needed to upgrade my
    Software and I accept.
    That was the mistake I made as it upgraded to 5.01 and I cannot access
    myphone. When I put on my phone I am getting the activation screen. I try completing the activation but with no success. When I connect my phone to USB and start Itunes I am getting error message
    "There is no Sim card installed in the Iphone your are attempting to
    activate"
    I tired the following with no success.
    Itried downgrading from 5.01 to 4.33 by downloading firmware from google.  Holding shift button and clicking restore onITunes, selecting the firmware but I am getting error message" Iphone“Iphone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)
    I also tried using RedSn0w program and Tiny Umbrella and no luck at all.
    Please help.
    Thanksyou,
    Charles.

    Is the SIM that is installed from the carrier the device is locked to?
    Was the device hacked or jailbroken?  Possibly to unlock the device?

    Guys, I just upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6, it took 2 hours get it installed. However asfter installing there are issues with activating it.
    Its getting failed every time..."says the activation server is temporarily unavailable".
    Tried activating via itunes but no respite " says No sim inserted".
    pls help.

    No, I did not find a way to fix it.  Went to Apple store to be told that the phone is dead and I would need to purchase a new phone.  A little frustrated with the fact that it is Apple who caused the phone to not work!

  • After recently buying a new computer and installing firefox, sometimes firefox does not open webpages completely for website such as facebook, and reddit.

    Hi, i recently bought a new computer and installed firefox on it, but sometimes when opening webpages such as reddit, or facebook, it only loads part of the page or very little of it.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Ghostery</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

    I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update.  Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone.  I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on. 
    When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
    It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook.  Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

    this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
    "The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
    And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
    Hope this helps

    That's because it was jailbroken, either now or in the past.  We cannot provide support for jailbroken phones here.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.
