iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

Hi Guys!
So I recently purchased a new laptop and downloaded iTunes.

Adding Lightroom to new Laptop

I currently have Lightroom on 2 computers. One is an old Laptop which I want to retire. How do I get Lightroom transferred to the new laptop

If this is a serial-number activated LR just install on the new one and uninstall on the old one. There isn’t a formal activation count, or at least hasn’t been with the serial-number LR, so that is all you have to do.
If it is a CC-licensed LR+PS bundle, then when you install on the third computer, it’ll ask you to activate the other two, which you can do, then only ever log into one of the old ones, again. CC does keep track but makes it easy to transition to a new set of two computers without having to call Adobe.

How do i get my iphone to connect to my new laptop via itunes?

Hi
I have bought a new laptop because my existing one blew up. I have downloaded itunes on to my new HP Envy but when i connect my i phone it wont create a new back up onto the Envy. The iphone does register in itunes and I tried to back up manually but it wont.
Please help
Ray

OK, that's not what you said in your original post. The iPhone is not a backup device, and there is no way to transfer all of its content to your new computer, but there are some workarounds, described here: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
The better way to do it is to restore the backup that you must have kept of your dead computer to your new one. If you do that when you sync it will recognize that the content is the same and not delete it.

Scamner not working after connecting to a new laptop

connected c5180 to a new laptop. installed the drivers from the HP website. when I try to scan a document, I do through all the selections on the screen hit scan and nothing happens. I get the impression it thinks it's scanning as the display on the laptop has the spinning circle. afer about a minute the scanner is in a ready state, but nothing at all happens with the device. The c5180 has a small display, does not show a acan is in progress.
now when I try to scan from the scan button on the 5180, the display show that a scan is in progress, but nothing happens in terms of a scan actually being done.
Any help with the is much appreciated
Rob

Hello @Rob1216 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues scanning. I'd like to help!
Does this issue occur when making a copy as opposed to a scan?
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Connecting to a new laptop

Hi all,
I've purchased a new laptop and cannot connect my iPod to it. I used to connect my iPod to my old laptop via a firewire card and cable, but my new laptop does not have a firewire card slot. How do I connect my iPod now? Is there a new cable that I can purchase or is it not that simple.
Thanks,
Sharice

You can purchase a USB wire, which can be found on ebay for around $1

Slow connection speed on new laptop - BT Hub3

Hello,
i recently bought a new laptop and since i started using the internet on it I have some speed problems. I explain below.
My laptop is new (samsung with windows 7 home premium SP1 64-bit version), i bought it about a month ago and after using it, sometimes I noticed a slow internet connection. Sometimes it got very slow and the pages couldn't be loaded. On a few occasions my connection gets lost for seconds but that doesn't happen to my other old laptops!
I also have 2 other laptops with no connection problems and tried to see what could be the problem.
My wireless router is BT hub3 and seems to be OK and gives to the old 2 laptops its maximum speed about 6-7 mbs.
I then compared the three laptops' settings and what I observed was that my new laptop had a low speed at the connection status window (control panel > netw. & internet > netw. & sharing center > connection status), when i click on the name of my connection and check its status i find that: the speed is usually 18-24 Mbps. It also fluctuates over time, sometimes it gets up to 54 mbps other times down to 11 mbps. I found really strange that my 2 old laptops have a stable speed of 54 mbps when i check the same connection status. With the new laptop my internet doesnt get its maximum speed, when the laptop's speed is down to 18 mbps I run an online speedtest and get 4-5 Mbps instead of 6-7 with the 54 mbps, as the old 2 laptops do.
I used to have connection problems with my old router (BT Hub2) some time ago, so I know about removing any other interference (currently i have no tv on, the microwave is not near the router, i use the least busy wireless channel and tried to place the laptop near the router but it's not much better).
Something else to notice is that I get the same problem when my new laptop is the only one working, with the other two the old ones being switched off. I haven't checked that several times, it might be worse when the new laptop is working along with one of the old ones but i don't really think that matters.
My new laptop uses a network adapter Broadcom 802.11n and the old 2 laptops have an Atheros AR5007EG. At another online forum I asked the same question they told me to try and change the radio type of my router to b/g instead of b/g/n, as the new laptop could be trying to connect on n speed but gets affected by the old ones who connect to the b/g type. I am not sure that could help as my laptop is brand new and should be compatible to the bt hub3 router using the new 802.11n system.
Can someone give some help with my problem? Even if i can't solve the problem I would like to have a feeling of the problem being a laptop problem or just incompatibility of my laptop to the router?? If it's a laptop problem I should consider asking for a replacement or repair.
Thanks very much for any help!

thanks for the answer, coming back to my problem...
I have tried switching to 802.11b/g, i see some improvement but this is happening occasionally. my speed is up to 5 mbs when my old laptops have the proper 7 mbs speed.
what is still happening is my connection status speed on my laptop shows 54 mbps for some time and then drops to 18 mbps. it also generally fluctuates and is not stable at 54 mbps as with my old laptops. when it's down to 18 mbps the speedtest result is 5 mbs. my old laptops (which are older technology after all..) always get to the 7mbs speed which is what I pay for.
i am not sure what the connetion status speed on my laptop should be, why it is not stable as with my old laptops and why I am not getting a stable proper speed of 7 mbs with my new laptop. could it be a hardware issue? What other possible reasons for that problem could be? as I said above no other devices are near my router and I use the inssider software to find the less busy channel.

WRT610N ROUTER IS DROPPING OUT OR NOT CONNECTING TO MY NEW LAPTOP

I just bought a new HP wireless laptop and a new Linksys WRT160N wireless "N" router. I've connected the router and installed the router software to my desktop PC which is wired by the way and the internet works fine on it. I've created my SSID name and created my security key that way I'm able to set up my wireless laptop. When I turn on my laptop and click on "connect to a network" it does show my SSID name that I've created and when I try to connect it says, "Can not connect to (SSID)" after a few seconds of trying and keeps doing that.
I’ve set up my SSID for WPA2/AES security. However, I was at one time able to connect online wirelessly and it worked like a charm even when I was far away from the router until I powered down my laptop and brought it back up again and it's giving me that same message. It's like it just works sporadically but 98% of the time it just gives me that "Can not connect" message each time.
Here are a few specs. on my new laptop that might help: I have AT&T DSL 6.0 meg. service. My wireless card on my laptop is an Atheros 802.11 b/g/n. Windows 7 is installed on it.
I've also reset the AT&T modem and router and started from scratch twice and still gives me the same message. I am totally lost on what to do. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Open the linksys setup page and click on the Wireless tab...For 2.4GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz..For 5GHz....Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz...Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box for both the band..Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Help!! Connecting ipod to new laptop deleted all songs!

My daughter got a new laptop for college. In fact she is leaving in the morning-- but disaster struck and she may not be taking her music with her!!! While trying to install the ipod software on the laptop all her songs disappeared! We then went back to the PC the ipod originally linked with and were unable to re-load the songs- it also looked like some of the buttons that had been there with itunes disappeared. The other thing we did at the same time was to update the software, as we were prompted to do. What happened and how can we get the songs back on the ipod and her new computer? We started to back them up on a CD but the CD does not include the names and artists for some reason. Please help.

hmmmmm.
even though you don't have a Toshiba, perhaps try disabling the high-speed USB interfaces on that PC. (no need to restore ... we're just checking to see if you can get recognition and a sync with them turned off.)

Install itunes on new laptop w/o losing old songs- cant backup songs tho!

Please can anyone help?! I have to figure this out by tomorrow!! :o
Cliffsnotes: _Want itunes on new laptop. Dont want to lose songs on ipod. Can't backup songs because itunes is gone from old computer. Halp plz?_
Details: I have an ipod touch. I think my dad accidentally deleted some of the software that is required to run itunes so now it won't open, or recognize the ipod when its connected to the computer. When I click on the itunes icon (which is still on my desktop) to try to open it, I get an error message that reads:
"Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install itunes again."
I would do this however I just got a new laptop and want to move all my programs including itunes onto it instead. If I try to just connect the ipod to the new laptop and download the newest version of itunes, I'm afraid it will delete my old songs already on the ipod. I know people have had this concern before but the answer is always to back up your songs first. How am I supposed to do this if the itunes is deleted/won't open on my old computer?
*Your help is so so appreciated*!!!

What you really want is the files, not the music really, just the system files so that when you reinstall iTunes you can replace the system files with the ones you backed up, thus saving your settings from your previous installation. As for the music, after you reinstall, you can backup your music from your iPod before you sync it to the new iTunes installation, that way it insures you not to lose all your music. I deleted half my music by accident from in my iTunes Music hard drive that I have separately so as to be able to keep all my music in case of a computer crash, which we both know is a drawback of having a Windows-based PC. Where you want to go is first go to Edit then Preferences then Devices and make sure you have Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically checked, then you can rest assured that you won't lose the music already on the iPod. Then you go to File then Library then Back Up To Disc. This is of course after you have iTunes reinstalled. Just save the system folders with all the system settings from your documents/music/iTunes section. Then uninstall and reinstall. Then transfer the backed up system files back to that folder and overwrite the new files that were created.

I recently had to get a new laptop computer because my old one crashed. I am trying to sync my ipod to my new computer but it wants to erase my content. How do I recover my music not purchased through itunes?
