Can't plug iPhone 4s to Windows 8.1

I have a new Windows 8.1 system. I have the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5.5. I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.6.
When I plug the iPhone into the PC to sync the phone "buzzes" or vibrates as the power goes on and off. It won't correct long enough to sync.
I've checked the USB drivers. I have no idea what to do next to get them to connect.

Still can't syncronize iphone 4 with Windows 7-64bit

I have a Windows 7 Proffesional -64 bit, and an iphone 4s. Till June, everyhting was working perfectly and I could suncronize my iphone with my computer. Since the version of itunes 10.6.3 in June, I have lost contact with my iphone. I have been waiting, as so many people, the new version of itunes for W7 64bit, which aroused 2 days ago. Unfortunately, nor this vesrion, 10.7 is letting me syncronize my iphone to my computer. The message is the following: Apple mobile device support can't be started."..................Do you have any ideas how to overcame this????

It also took me a number of tries over the past couple hours to download and install iOS 7.
Happy to report was able to install both iPhone 4S and iPad 2 via iTunes after updating to the latest version of iTunes.

Can't Sync iPhone 3G on Windows 7 64-bit

My iPhone won't sync since I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The sync process begins, but then I get a diagnostic box asking me to send info to Apple. Because Win 7 doesn't have an address book I disabled syncing contacts. No luck - it says "Sync in Progress" for a bit, and then simply stops. I've got application upgrades waiting to download, but no luck at this point.
Any suggestions on how to work around this?
Many thanks

This reply was obviously posted by a Mac user who knows nothing about Windows based PCs. Since Oct. 22, all new PCs pretty much come with Windows 7. For itunes to have this problem after 2 months is not justifyable.
This is like telling someone whos iPhone won't synce to their Chev suggesting they buy a Ford instead.

What version of iTunes?

How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Installing iOS 8 on iPhone 4S via Windows 7, hung up on "Plug into iTunes" image. "Run Diagnostics" crashes, too, btw.

OS: Windows 7
iTunes 12.1.2.27
iPhone 4s - A1387
Trying to install new iOS (8, I'm pretty sure?)
iTunes prompted to install newest OS for the phone, successfully created a backup/sync, shut off the phone, and now it's stuck waiting to be recognized by iTunes to get the new OS installed.
When the phone is plugged into the computer, Windows gives the "Device Detected" sound but it doesn't register as a camera or storage device anymore. Meaning I'm not sure where the device is supposed to be located in Device Manager.
iTunes does NOT show that the device is detected.
I've updated iTunes to 12.1.2.27
Restarted the computer several times, as well as the phone.
Tried another USB slot
Tried another computer (Windows), and while it DID register in iTunes, it failed to Restore OR Update
Tried Help > Run Diagnostics, but that crashes iTunes.

On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

Hi pedro109,
If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -

Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article
