After Restoring, my Windows XP machine doesn't recognize iphone

Hi, and thanks in advance for the help.
I recently restored my PC(running windows xp). And after downloading and installing the latest version of itunes. My computer fails to recognize the iphone. I've tried everything I can think of. But here is a list:
-restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service
-Restarting Itunes
-restarting the computer
-Uninstalling Itunes, and Reinstalling it
-plugging the iphone in different usb ports
-Plugging an Ipod classic in the same port(and it worked).
-Downloading the drivers moving them to C:/Windows/Drivers
-Hooking the iphone up to a different computer(and it recognized it
I don't know what to do now. Before I restored the computer it would recognize the iphone with no problem. But i still cannot see why it won't now.

I had a similar problem when I upgraded to iTunes 8.0.2. My problem was that the iPhone driver in Windows XP was somehow corrupted. Uninstall/Reinstall of iTunes did not help, and neither did running "AppleDeviceSupport.msi".
The symptom I had was when I plugged in the iPhone, I would get three short "beeps" from the computer in rapid succession, followed later by two "beeps" that XP makes when disconnecting a USB device, even though I had not disconnected the iPhone.
Before I had this problem, I would get two "beeps" when plugging in the iPhone, indicating that Windows recognized the iPhone, and two "beeps" when disconnecting it.
What finally helped me was the following:
1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open field, type devmgmt.msc and click OK. A list of devices will be displayed.
3. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the small plus sign to expand this group.
4. If "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" is listed and the device is working properly (right click on "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", and select "Properties"), then your driver is OK and you don't have the same problem I was having (Stop here).
5. If "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" is NOT shown, then plug in the iPhone to the USB port.
6. On my system, "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" would then appear BRIEFLY with a yellow exclamation point beside it, and then it would go away after 10-20 seconds. If you see the same behavior, then, while "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" is shown, right click on it before it disappears. Then select properties, and then select install device driver (or maybe update device driver - I'm not sure exactly what the choices were when I had the problem)
7. Windows XP then went searching for the driver, did some magic, and got the driver reinstalled and working properly.
Good luck - hope this helps.

  • Time machine doesn't recognize my old backups after clean install

    Time machine doesn't recognize my old backups after clean install of OSX Lion
    I also tried using migration assistant with no success.
    I just want to use TM to restore files and folders SELECTIVELY.
    Does anyone also know how to fully restore my iTunes data? (purchaces, music, iphone backups, etc)
    Thank you in advance

    Oh yeah, and the other thing is, now I CAN'T go back in time using my Time Machine back-up . . . It says I've never backed up now (I guess because this is a fresh install that's TECHNICALLY correct), but I restored from this Time Machine file . . . Surely I've done something wrong that can be fixed. Help, please?

  • Error 150:30 after restoring CS4 from Time Machine backup

    I just got myself a new Imac with OS X Maverick and set it up using a time-machine-backup. My Adobe CS4 now has a Problem with the license and shows me error: 150:30?
    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall? Is there any easier solution to this problem?
    Thank you anyone for some help.

    Thanks a lot for your help......everything back to normal after reeinstallation.

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

  • Replaced internal hard drive, time machine doesn't recognize as same volume

    Howdy,
    The hard drive (call it drive "X") on my iMac (one of the 2005 models) was dying so I had it replaced. I rebuilt the new drive (drive "Y") from my most recent time machine backup (from external drive "A"). I am now having problems with one of my backup devices, in that time machine doesn't recognize that the new disk is conceptually the same thing that had been backed up before (same volume name).
    More details... I rotate my backups monthly through three external drives (I store the most recent offsite). After the disk replacement and restore process, I continued to use that backup drive (drive "A") without noticing any problem. Then it came time to rotate my external drives, and time machine doesn't find enough space on the next backup drive (drive "B"). Presumably this is because it doesn't realize that the drive I am backing up ("Y") is a copy of the drive that had previously been backed up on "B" ("X").
    Is there any way to convince it they are the same? Or am I in the same boat as this poster:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2770362&tstart=0
    Basically I just want to verify that I am in that same boat before I remove old backup files on "B". If I do decide I need to remove those, are the instructions linked in thread 2770362 correct, or are there better ones?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bob H

    Actually, the backup I deleted above was the backup for the new internal drive. Apparently TM had created the (incomplete) backup during the failed attempt that ran out of space on the backup device. Since the new internal drive had the same name as the old internal drive, I didn't initially realize that's what I was deleting. Not that deleting it causes any harm, but it didn't address the original problem of freeing up space on the backup device.
    Not to worry though. I've figured out how to get at the backups for the old internal drive, and am in the process of deleting those. I was about to follow the instructions in your troubleshooting items E3 and E2, but upon attempting to enter time machine I stumbled into the right place. Since I had previously told TM to do no backups (because there was still not enough disk space), and since I'd left the backup device connected, when I pulled up the TM menu from the menu bar, the usual "Enter Time Machine" menu was replaced by "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" (or perhaps "Disks" was "Backups"). This then gave me a list of the machines that I'd backed up on this backup device (in my case machine names and internal drive names are the same). Of course one of those was for the old internal drive, and after choosing it I roughly followed the same course of action as I did a few days ago, to initiate deletion.
    I also saw how I could delete each of those old backups individually, but decided against that as I did not expect it would free up enough space. My expectation is that nearly all the space is shared among all the backups for the same source drive, since relatively very little changes between backups.

  • Time machine doesn't recognize external hard drive

    Recently I went to the apple store to get help to switch from Mavericks to Mountain Lion (I had some problems with Mavericks). They used time machine to bring back my applications (from my external hard drive, LaCie) on the Mountain Liion software. They said my time machine/external hard drive should work the same when I got home. Now, when I go to back up my computer, time machine doesn't recognize that I've backed up my files before. In the past, when time machine was working, every time I plugged in my hard drive the icon for it would turn blue, time machine recognized it, and it would back up my files. Now, the icon for the hard drive shows up, but time machine doesn't recognize it.
    Some other things:
    - when I open my external hard drive on finder, it shows all of my previous back ups
    - I used disk utility to check my hard drive and macintosh HD - both are OK
    How can I use time machine to continue backing up files? Or am I going to have to partition or erase the hard drive and start a new back up?
    Thank you in advance

    nevermind! time machine suddenly recognized the disk after half an hour. sorry, I don't know how to delete this post!

  • Windows control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC Products.

    한글(Korean) :
    1년 조금 넘게 어도비 CC 정품을 이용해오고 있습니다.
    아시다시피 어도비 CC는 어도비 제품들을 원하는대로 다운로드할 수 있잖아요,
    저도 많은 제품들을 다운로드해서 쓰고 있었는데 안쓰는 제품들이 몇개 생겨서 제거하려고 합니다.
    그런데 제어판에서는 어도비 CC 제품들(포토샵, 애프터이펙트, 오디션 등등)이 뜨질 않네요.
    제어판에서 이 제품들을 인식을 못하는거 같은데, 어도비에 전화해보니 C드라이브 들어가서
    폴더를 지우라고 하는데, 그냥 제어판이 인식하게 할 수는 없을까요?
    English :
    I have used Adobe CC products for almost a year.
    As you know, I can download any adobe products what I want through it.
    I was using a lot of Adobe products, but now, there are some products
    that I won't use anymore. So I'm going to delete them.
    But windows' control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC products(like Photoshop, After Effects, Etc..).
    So I called to Adobe Korea customer center. They told me that I can go into C drive and delete folders of Adobe products.
    This is not the answer what I exactly want. I want to make the control panel can recognize Adobe CC products.
    What should I do?

    Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
    Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
    Follow on-screen instructions
    This information is NOT correct.  Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop.  It only shows the most current installation.  Photoshop is a great example of why this is so.  I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription.  Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe.  In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident.  For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe.  Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe.  So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused.  But that does not help the rest of us.
    The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications.  I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on.  So, I'd add a question for Adobe:  How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use.  Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed.  So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?   

  • HT203177 Time machine doesn't recognize my hard drive archive

    I have time machine archive on a hard drive (not time capsule). It recently stopped backing up. On checking, time machine recognizes the hard drive (in preferences it is listed as the back up drive.) The files appear to be present on looking into the drive, but Time Machine doesn't recognize that there are backup files there, it wants to complete another full backup. Meaning - it says for latest backup: "none".
    I am afraid if I do another full backup, I will lose the ability to access the older backups.
    When I try to access older files through time machine, it predictably cannot find them.
    How do I tell Time Machine that the files on that hard drive are the backup files?

    Update:
    1) Right click on TM icon - Menu choice "Browse other TM disks" allows me to see the data - i.e. it is a valid TM archive, not corrupted.
    2) Looking at TM preferences immediately after showed the proper disk was targeted, but still Latest backup: None.
    3) Shut down, anomalous shut down -required power button hit. (AHH - the problem??)
    4) restart using command  - R  works - i.e recognizes the disk and emergency recovery system software
    5) Restart - Still shows latest backup: None
    6) trying to access data through standard TM startup shows data now.
    7) go back to preferences - still no backup shown.
    Aside - I can't recall what the purple vs white dates on right side of the screen signify, and can't find it in the documentation right now. Anybody know?

  • This Question is at least 2.5 years old.  But still an issue.  I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • Migrated old back-up to new MacBook Pro, but now new machine doesn't recognize old back-up

    So last night I migrated my old back-up to my new MacBook Pro, but this morning my new machine doesn't recognize my old back-up. I'd rather not erase and back-up from scratch for numerous reasons (losing the old data, time, etc).
    Any suggestions? I'll bet this is a realatively common issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Looking back, at your original posts....it said it needed 774 GB?? is that at all reasonable for a full backup of your system??
    Maybe there's something more than meets the eye?
    Also maybe we can figure out what went wrong with the tmutil command. It is possible that you may have to use additional options.
    But first le's see who owns the old backup....
    From the terminal command line try this:
    sudo xattr -l "path to your backup"
    Where "path to your backup" is tha same path exactly as used in the tmutil command, that is:
    /Volumes/"Backups Device Name"/Backups.backupdb/"Backup Name"
    You should get something like this for output:
    com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
    00000000  30 30 3A 31 64 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |00:1d:..:..:..:.|
    00000010  34 00                                            |4.|
    00000012
    com.apple.backupd.HostUUID:
    00000000  41 34 32 30 43 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |A420Cxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000010  .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000020  32 37 37 42 00                                   |277B.|
    00000025
    com.apple.backupd.ModelID: MacPro3,1
    The "BackupMachineAddress" is the MAC address of the Ethernet port your mother board.
    You can find the MAc address in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report -> Network -> Ethernet 1
    The "HostUUID" is the identifier of your mother board.
    You can find it in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report ->Hardware Overview  [that's the first thing that shows when you select System report]
    These are the way the connection of the backup to a machine is made.
    Now the tmutil inheritbackup comand should have set them to the correct values for your new machine.
    But let's' see if any of them match the new machine and then see of we haveany more options.

  • HT201274 attempted to download new ios 6 software. wiped out sim card and computer doesn't recognize iphone now. blinking apple icon is only thing I get

    Need help with iphone 4. tried to download new software and it zorked sim card and phone. Only get a blinking apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize iphone so I can't restore

    Hello henry lfrommiami,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone gives you the message "No SIM Card installed" please follow the steps below.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
    Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
    If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Time Machine doesn't recognize my backups now that I restored from it.

    After installing Lion 7.1 from the app store overy my Snow Leopard, my mid-2009 2.8 GHz MBP (15") started acting wonky . . . Would freeze up randomly, need to be hard-reset, would open up windows on boot-up that I DID NOT have open before (even if I unchecked the option to "re-open windows when logging back in"), would not remember certain preferences, etc.
    Called Apple tech, all he could suggest was format/reinstall using the fun, new recovery feature in Lion, if the 7.2 update didn't somehow magically fix my problems. It didn't, so I made sure my time machine back-up was complete, booted into recovery, wiped the Macintosh HD, and re-installed Lion from the web. Took forever, but no problems, so I get to the part where I want to recover from Time Machine, and say to restore everything expcept my settings (in case something from settings before was causing the issues). It does all of this, no problem, and I log into my Mac and everything looks the same as before.
    NOW, Time Machine wants to back-up, as usual, and I think it will look at the system and say, "Oh, yeah, I've got all this . . . I mean, you just restored from me, so I'll just take a few snapshots or whatever and back up every hour (or whatever I do)." But Time Machine ain't saying that. Time Machine says," Oh, you have a bunch of crap on this hard drive already, but I need more room to back up your computer." And I'm saying, "No buddy, that's not a bunch of crap, that IS the back-up of this computer. Just reference that!"
    Except, see, I'm SAYING that to my computer . . . But it can't hear me, obviously. How do I get my computer to understand that I don't need a new back-up from scracth, that the hard-drive I restored from IS the TM backup?
    Sorry for not being able to explain this problem more efficiently. Thanks in advance.

    Oh yeah, and the other thing is, now I CAN'T go back in time using my Time Machine back-up . . . It says I've never backed up now (I guess because this is a fresh install that's TECHNICALLY correct), but I restored from this Time Machine file . . . Surely I've done something wrong that can be fixed. Help, please?

  • Web Sharing broken after Restore System from Time Machine

    If you do a complete System Restore from a Time Machine backup, and had Web Sharing turned on, it won't work after the restore. The problem is the restore doesn't put back a folder for Apache logs. It should be in /var/log (or /private/var/log). Without the folder there, Apache won't start and you'll get an error when trying to access anything on the local website:
    Safari can’t connect to the server.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost/control/” because it could not connect to the server “localhost”.
    To fix the problem, use Terminal:
    cd /var/log
    sudo mkdir Apache2
    sudo apachectl restart
    Then Apache will be happy and you'll be back in business!

    The problem has gone after updated to 10.9.4

  • Time Machine doesn't recognize old sparsebundle after new logic board

    Installed new logic board in pre-Isight 20" iMac due to capacitor swelling and kernel panic. I had also erased the internal HD. I was able to restore all my files to internal HD from Time Machine backup on the 1TB Time Capsule. Now I'm trying to back up my restored iMac to Time Capsule, but there is insufficient space. Time Capsule has three sparsebundle files: one for the 20"iMac prior to new logic board, one for a Powerbook, and one for a newer 24"iMac. Time Machine wants to create a new sparsebundle for the restored iMac, but there is not enough room and I would like it use the residing sparsebundle so that I will have backups prior to the point the new logic board was installed. I tried just changing the name of the old IMac Time Capsule sparsebundle file to the new sparsebundle filename that Time Machine creates when attempting backup, but that did not work. Any suggestions?

    1. I thought of just deleting the old sparsebundle in order to make room, but it was a less elegant solution because: a) I'd have to do a complete (i.e. lengthy) backup when really only a few things have changed (mostly software updates) since the restore. b)if something should go wrong with that process, then I've lost my backup file to restore the computer. True, I could archive the old sparsebundle to another drive, and then delete it from the time capsule, but somehow I think there should be a quicker, less labor intensive way that doesn't involve bringing in another hard drive.
    2. I believe you can restore any Mac with any time machine backup. If you boot from the system disk, go to utilities, and select restore from time machine backup, it then allows you to pick any of the files on the disk that time machine has backed up to. After all, even though Time Machine thinks this is a new computer, the restore that I just did makes it essentially the same computer that I had before the failure of the logic board--the desktop looks exactly the same. BTW, the Apple authorized service center that did the logic board replacement had put a clean version of 10.6 on the internal hard drive, and I was unable to use that system to do the restore--it just hung up. I had to do the restore using my system disk CD (and basically downgrading to system 10.5.8)
