    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • When i sync my iphone it says cant backup not enough space on computer there is 140 gig of free space on my computer

    when i sync my ipone is says that "it cant backup not enough space on this computer"  i have 140+ gigs of free space on my mac

    Yea... agreed I had about 160 GB free on my Hard drive and tried to synce my iPhone 5S (currently about 32GB in use of 64) and iit says I don't have enough free space. Uh...yes....yes I do.   So I cleaned up backups in iTunes from my previous phone and moved some large files to my 1TB time capsule...now I have over 200GB Free...and yet...when I try to synce my phone and it moves to the "backup" part...it thinks for a moment...and then says...nope I don't have enough space on my hard drive.  Must be new Apple Math?   I ran diagnostics on my system...ran a full permissions check and cleaned up everything.  Personally..this particular iMac is older. Stuck on 10.6.8 --- I'm thinking it's some sort of 64bit/versus 32bit problem. Still, this should be considered a software defect. Apple needs to create a fix. Alternately... yes...I would like a new iMac, but they aren't free so... if anyone wants to upgrade me I won't turn you down.

    Using iTunes on your computer, open Preferences (under the leftmost item in iTunes menu).  Choose "Devices" on top.  Find your backup listed there, highlight it, and select "Delete Backup".

    I installed XP @Bootcamp, I cant access my Mac HDD via XP..
    What I do??? Please help me.. please...

    You can try DiskWarrior (about $100).
    If that doesn't work, and if you have no backups at all, you might need to send your hard drive to Drive Savers or a similar service. It will cost a lot of money to get the data back, I'm sorry to say.

  • HT4946 please help me.......i forgot my encrypt iphone backup pasword ......now i cant backup my contacts...is there anyway to get password back.....unfortunately i dnt have back on icloud n i need my contacts back ...plz plz plz help me

    What happened to your phone that you are trying to restore to a backup that is encrypted? If you have your contacts in iCloud, you can just turn iCloud back on when you get the phone working, if it isn't, and that will bring your contacts back. You won't need to do a restore from an iCloud backup if you were not doing an iCloud backup anyway. If you log into www.icloud.com and look at contacts, what do you see there?

  • HT1414 I cant backup or sync my IPone.

    Hi
    I cant backup or sync my IPone.
    An error message say that the backup is corrupt or not compatible with the IPhone. But where is the backup, I don't find it in the computer ? And it is not in the cloud?
    Regards Frank

    To delete your backups, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Device tab is a list of your backups.  Click each one and then click Delete Backup.

  • HT4759 On icloud cant backup my iphone data

    my iphone data cant backup on icloud

    First you have to add an iCloud account and enable the backup functionality in "Settings > iCloud Storage and Backup" if you want to use iCloud to backup your device. If it doesn't work, please tell us more about your problem, because we need more information to help you.

  • Using ipad3, cant backup to "icloud-it just crashes everytime i tried" second, i cant upgrade to ios6.

    What should i do to fix these problems? FIRST, i cant backup to icloud. It just crashes before completing the backups. SECOND, i cant ipgrade to IOS6.

    An Airport can "extend" the WiFi created by another Airport.  It can not extend a non-Apple WiFi.  You need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender.  I used two Express units.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Then connect the extender to AC power.  As before, open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  No need to add password info.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • Cant backup or connect Q10 to my pc.

    I downloaded all the updates for the phone and the desktop.
    I plug in my phone to backup but all that happens is a very quick flash of a black window with white writings coming and going away just as fast.
    I need to backup my phone to get it repaired. My text messages are taking forever to send out and the incomings are not always coming in...

    congratulations as youve beaten my record of being connected remotely to rim for 5 hours.
    a lot of the problems are due to i link, its corrupt for some people including me.
    when i got my Q10 18 months ago i done a backup with i link which took hours as it would continuously connect and disconnect.
    after my phone got wiped by a lock out bug rim connected remotely and couldnt help. they said i link was corrupt and they deleted it (they had downloaded themselves an updated version).
    a year later its still on my computer and cant be deleted. ive gone into the depths of my registry and no matter what i try its still there.
    i tried downloading blend this weekend as ive now bought a passport and the blend software keeps failing saying it is already loaded with this account but its not its only i link messing with it.
    so welcome to my world

  • Cant backup iphone

    I tried to back up my iPhone 5 with iOS7.1.1 which has 50e+ worth of new, unbackedup music on it. When I connected my phone to the computer to attempt a backup a message popped up saying that iTunes couldn't read my phone and that it needed to be restored to revert back to factory settings. I tried resetting the settings but it didn't help. I really don't want to restore and lose so much music that i cant retrieve , any solutions? Is there any way I could sync my music first and then restore or if I restore is there any way of retrieving the music?

    Music should already be in your iTunes media library.
    Purchased music can be redownloaded back to your phone.
