Apple devices not detected in Windows 8.1

Win 8.1, Itunes 11.2.2.3, Ipod 5 and Ipad Air not recognized in iTunes nor PC. Tried everything I've found in the net and nothing helps. USB ports working fine. Apple mobile device USB driver not listed. This is driving me nuts! Don't send me to the Apple support 1538 case. Please help!!!

Excellent and thanks for the "spot on" tip! I only wish I had found it before bringing up a different compter to re-sync my Apple mobile products, which of course meant I had to rebuild my libraries on that system.
On Windows 8.1 64 bit I did find the steps to be a little different from what Steven outlined and for those less compfortable with technology I thought I would include a version edited for Windows 8.1 64 bit specifically.
Connect You Apple Mobile device to the PC with iTunes.
In the PC's Device Manager expand the "Portable Devices" entry.
Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose "Update Driver Software" from the shortcut menu.
Choose the option to "Browse my computer for driver software" and browse to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and highlight that folder for the driver update.
Click "OK" then "Next" and your Apple mobile device should now be rocognized (verify this in iTunes)
Repeat for any other Apple mobile dvices synced on this computer.
All credit to Steven, however!

Plz help, "device not detected" after windows updates?? I have so

I have An Audigy 2 ZS, and have the latest drivers. It has been working PERFECT, LAST NIGHT I had like 0 WINDOWS UPDATES, i dont' know if any of these had anything to do with this. But, I just now went to the icon in the task bar, and went to change SPEAKER SETTINGS to switch to HEADPHONES as I ALWAYS DO, I was surprised when the "unable to change the sound device to your selected device", you press ok, and it comes up TWO MORE TIMES, Right after each other.
I DO HAVE SOUND, FOR NOW. I have read other mentioning this error, but I didn't seem to find any answers. I can't go to speaker settings, or Surround Mixer,
OK, NOW I tried to go to GRAPHICS EQ, and an error came up that said "THE AUDIO DEVICE SUPPORTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS NOT DETECTED, THE APPLICATION WILL EXIT"
What is going on?
I went to device manager and it says that the device is working properly, and I DO have sound.
I DON'T get it. And I'm not likeing this. This is starting to worry me.
Does ANYONE know what is going on.. PLZ?

Thanx for the reply. I just now fixed it. I'm not totally sure what I did. Earlier I had uninstalled the device from Device manager, and then restarted, and it installed the drivers from the CD. It didn't fix it. So, I ran the LIVE update here at creative.com and downloaded the version I had before, I guess because when i had ran the update before I uninstalled the device the update wasn't there.
But, it started to update, and said something it had to restart the pc in order to install the update, and after it installed the new "creative audio console" it now works.
the whole thing was strange since I dind't lose sound at all. Just couldn't access settings.

Why is my USB DAQ device not detected by Windows?

Hello,
I had my USB-6229 connected to my PC (Windows 7 64bit) this morning and everything was fine: Windows detected the device, the device showed up on on NI MAX, and testing through NI MAX was successful. I then installed the NI DAQmx 9.8 driver to replace the NI DAQmx 9.6 driver that I was using (the DAQ Assistant icon in my functions menu in LabVIEW 2013 was not present, and this upgrade fixed that issue). Unfortunately, Windows now no longer recognizes the same DAQ device that worked earlier this morning.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Uninstalling the 9.8 driver and re-installing the 9.6
Tested another USB DAQ device; Windows could not detect it either
None of the DAQ devices register on WIndows's device manager (usb ports not broken, as the flash drives I inserted showed up on device manager)
As expected, none of the devices show up on NI MAX
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may have happened when I upgraded from the 9.6 driver to the 9.8?

Thanks for your reply, Philip. Yes, I did reboot my computer after installing the driver.
I contacted NI support, and we were unable to reach a solution, so, as a last effort, re-installed the driver for the third time, which finally worked. I'm not sure what the problem was, but here are some extra steps I took before re-installing the driver that may benefit those who encounter a similar problem:
1. As Philip mentioned, start the NI Device Loader if it has not been started or stop/start it if it has. The startup status ought to be set to "automatic." You can find the NI Device Loader by starting Task Manager, selecting the "Services" tab, then selecting the "Services" button. Scroll down the list until you find it.
2. Open up Device Manager and search for your device (mine was labeled as "unidentifiable"). Right click and select "Properties." Select the "Driver" tab. You may need to manually select the driver folder, which should be located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS.
Hope that helps.

IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

First of all, hello to everyone...
i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
thx in advance!!

HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
They are all on the same network. I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV

Hello All,
Can anyone point me to a doc or forum discussion on how to setup the wireless interface to forward multicast packets? Basically I cant get the ipads etc.. to see the AppleTV to control it. I connected an AP and it works fine so its got to be something with the way the router handles the packets from teh integrated wireless interface. I've been searching the forum for about 1hr and haven't founf anything other than a breif mention of broadcast forwarding and multicast setup.
Has anyone got anything more complrehensive I can read?
Thanks
David

Hello David,
Thank you for contacting the Sales Acceleration Center (SAC) regarding your recent inquiry, Case Number
Case Description:
Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV
Case Solution:
The Bonjour service uses multicast to advertise your Home Sharing enabled device to the local network. In my case the Cisco 877W I was using had a Layer 3 enabled BVI (Bridged Virtual Interface) to which the Wireless Dot11Radio interface was not fowarding multicast packets properly.
First of all, obtain the Multicast groups your wireless adapter is configured for (on Windows open a command prompt and run the below command):
The result will give you an output as per below, we are interested in the multicast address directly after the 224.0.0.252 address 239.255.255.250:
Then we need to enable multicast routing on the router, connect to your router and enter config terminal mode:
Next we will configure IGMP v3 and add the relevant Wireless interface on your router to the correct multicast address group:
Next perform the same config your BVI interface:
Once complete save your changes and confirm both interfaces have been added to the multicast groups using the command sh ip igmp group:
You now need to reload your router and restart iTunes and then attempt to connect to Home Sharing from your Apple TV.
Other commands that I used to troubleshoot with were:
debug ip mpacket - Multicast Packet Debugging
debug ip mroute - Debug Multicast Routing
sh ip mroute - Show IP Multicast Routes
By default the Cisco implementation of a Dot11Radio interface and a BVI interface don't appear to forward multicast packets between each other. Seems odd to me as they're both in the same L2 bridging group..anyway.
I am going to close the case for this specific inquiry on my side. If you need moere information Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the SAC team if we can be of any further assistance or if you have any other related questions in the future. We strive to provide you with excellent service. We value your input and look forward to serving you moving forward.

Lumia 620 - Device not detected

Hi,
I've been using my 620 for a month now with no problems.I use the phone for developing purposes (Visual Studio 2012 + Windows 8 Pro).
Around 8 days ago, I received a pack of updates of the Nokia bundled apps which I installed and after that, when I connect the phone via the USB cable, the Phone is not detected on Windows.
I read lots of other threads about this kind of problems, even went through reinstalling all the Windows Phone SDK, reinstalled drivers (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749484), tried 4 different USB cables, on all the ports of my computer, tried 5 different computers too (two of which have Windows 7, three have Windows 8), removing the SD card, and the Phone still is not detected. The charging icon appears and the Phone charges OK though.
The Phone does not appear on Windows Device Manager under any kind of label (No Unrecognized Device either), Windows Explorer does not show any drive (MTP), its like the cable is not connected (although it charges without a problem).
I don't have the Amber update yet.
Is there any kind of setting (possibly hidden?) that controls the USB behavior of the phone? I read there are no Diagnostics tools for WP8, but, is there any way I can check if there is a hardware problem?
Thanks in advance!

The vol down + power is only a reboot. Perhaps you might consider a reset from Settings>about>reset your phone.

Audio device not detected in control panels

+Audio device not detected in control panelsa I've been using my X-Fi Platinum with Windows 7 64-bit fine for around a month now. Recently I encountered a problem where I couldn't record any sound including talking on Teamspeak. I decided to reinstall the drivers, so I cleaned them out with a driver cleaner tool, and reinstalled. Everything works fine again, but none of the applications will work anymore. They all give an error message about not being able to detect the device. This includes AutoUpdate, Creative Audio Control Panel, and Creative Console Launcher. The card appears to be working correctly everywhere else: Device manager, teamspeak works fine now, windows recorder, guitar rig (guitar amp emulator), dx diag, all working well.
I also tried installing Daniel_K's driver pack to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Glorfindel

/Hi Glorfindel,
Did?you?reinstall the applications from the installation cd?
Download and install the latest applications from our support site to see if it helps, click on the link and select your product. Note that some of the applications are not available on Windows 7.

X-fi fatal1ty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard

Gx-fi fatalty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard? ?
System is a custom build, based off an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, with two GTX7800 display cards. in a SLI configuration
Fresh installation fo Windows XP Profesional with SP3 slipstreamed.
Origional CD fails to detect the card, claiming a supported device is not present.
This card has worked prevously, and is verified as fully functional in windows Vista. ?
Please note Windows Vista can not be used.
I have tried about 30 different versions of the drivers (each on a clean installation) and used both clean and dirty boots, and nothing is working.
Before anyone points me at other threads in this forum, please note i have been scouring this forum for the past week trying every sugestion there is, and I have raised a ticket with Creative (who despite the prommise of a 2 day responce, have yet to respond)
I have tired multiple versions of the NForce drivers, NVidia display drivers, Creative Drivers, Bios updates, Chipset hacks and more.
does anyone hav a sugestion that is not already posted on this forum.

Tried it on one of the spare PC's in the house earlier (Nforce 2 based) - still no recognition of the card whatsoever, it's as if it doesn't exist.
I'm guessing that the card is pretty much toasted eh?
