Connecting iPhone 3G to new Win7 64bit PC continues prompting as new iPhone
Hello folks,
I am wondering who got that piece of junk that's missing from the Apple? - Just kidding... back to business, because I lost all the fun with Apple.
I have got the following setup:
iTunes v10.1.1.4 64bit on Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010 incl Outlook with the latest updates
iPhone 3G v4.2.1
After connecting the iPhone 3G with v4.0.2 to the Windows 7 64 bit machine and iTunes v10.1.1.4 64bit for the first time (the iPhone 3G has been connected to Windows XP SP3 earlier and hence came preloaded with apps, contacts, etc), iTunes told me that this was a first time connection and whether or not I wanted to sync and lose all data. I ran a backup then (using the right mouse button Backup option when selecting the iPhone in the tree view on the left) and started the sync after that.
Everything seemed to run normal with the exception that after the first sync, all apps and other items were still existent on the iPhone. I sync'd mail, calendar, music, apps and other items one by one - everything seemed to run fine.
After disconnecting the iPhone and reconnecting the phone to the PC, I got a message from iTunes that gives me two options:
1) Set up as a new iPhone
2) Restore from backup of: iPhone
Why in the world would iTunes not simply recognize the previously sync'd phone and re-sync all data that have changed since the previous sync?
I appreciate all your help on figuring this one out!
Thanks!

How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop
HI;
I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
My question is:
How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
All the best;Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

Connecting to HP LaserJet 5100 printer on Win7, 32bit PC from a Win7, 64bit PC
I'm having a heck a time trying to add a printer that is on another machine. The printer is an HP LaserJet5100 and is connected to a Win7, 32bit pc using a pcl6 driver. The PC I want to add this other printer to is a Win7, 64bit. I went to HP Drivers and downloaded a HP LaserJet 5100 pcl6 driver for Win7, 64bit, and ran it, using traditional mode, on the PC that I'm trying to install a printer to. I chose "Add a network Printer..." and then pick the printer that I want to connect to. I get a Windows Printer Installation pop up that says "Checking for Windows Update. This might take a while..." and then get another popup that says "No driver found". I then get another pop up to locate the driver. Browsing to the driver files that I just download, I find eleven files of the .inf file type, but none of them are the right file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I took some photos with my new 4s. Then, when I connected Iphone on PC asked if I wanted to start as a new phone or old. I choose my old account. I would like to know if there is any, any chance that I can recover the photos took before sync back.
I did not use ICloud or any storage and did not make any sync before.
Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.Your photos are gone. They were wiped when you restored your phone. There is no "trash can".
You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly. Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide. I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.
Best,
GDG

Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox. I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing. Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help. Any ideas what I did to mess this up?
I cannot deleted. Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open. Don't see how to shot it off. Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after. Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?
How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?
I think I've upgraded all th way from Version 7.There is no problem. If no previous, activated software is detected on the system, the upgrade installer will simply revert to its secondary mode and request to input the old serial in a second step for verification. Unless you do some exotic crossgrade/ sidegrade stuff, this should work with no problems whatsoever.

I have gifted an airport extreme to a neighbor and I assumed she would be able to connect and "create a new network" with a new password on her iPhone. That didn't happen. It keeps asking for my password. What next? Thanks!
Have them perform a complete power recycle of their networking hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Also, make sure that they perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort (as described in the tip) to be sure to return the AirPort back to its "out-of-th-box" configuration.

I bought music on my iPhone but lost it when I connected it to a new laptop is there any way of getting is back without paying again for it?
Was the content not synced with a computer previously? If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer. -

When installing iTunes 10.5 64bit on my win7 64bit computer I get a weird error message.
This all started when one day I plugged in my iPhone 4 to my iTunes 10.4 on my PC (win7 64bit) and I got nothing. I got the connection noise and my phone started charging but it would not show up in iTunes. In My Computer, it sees that I have an iPhone plugged in but shows it as a Camera, not a phone, and I am not able to see anything inside said "camera". At this point I decided to clear everything "Apple" off of my computer and manually install iTunes 10.5. Mid download i came across this error message that I have no clue what it is telling me. After clicking "OK" it then tells me "rolling back session" and then tells me that "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Since getting this messag I suspected that it was an AMD (apple mobile device) issue. AMD seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to uninstall/delete from my computer... At this point I'm giving up and looking for advice/help on this issue.
Im lead to believe that it is an AMD issue because iTunes 10.4 reads my iPod Shuffle perfectly but wont read my iPhone 4 or a friends iPhone 3g.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this!! Any help would be greatly appreciated because I dont want to reformatHey donovanjj,
Thanks for the question. Let’s try to recreate your SC Info folder:

Connecting Iphone 5 to computer and Iphone
Recently upgraded to Iphone 5. Computer (HP Windows 7-64bit) does not even recognize as portable device and is not recognized by Itunes.
Have litterally done everything listed on support: Deleted I tunes and all software and re installed, went under services to make sure softwared was running, have restarted phone and computer multiple times. I have a new I pad that uses same cord and is working just fine and is recognized instantly. Even triged daughters I phone 4 and works fine. Tried different cord and still nothing!j0lie92 wrote:

Can't get HP722C to install on new Win7 Pro 64bit OS. I saw a long post on HP about a "bridge" but it assumed that the driver was installed and just wouldn't work. I can't even get a driver to install. The CD won't work, driver is not on Win7, and HP won't download it from their site. They tell me it's on Win7, but I have done that dance twice and it ain't there! Anybody smarter than me know how to make this 722C work on Win7 64bit? Now tell me simply and slowly, I'm over 65!
This question was solved.
View Solution.[Please DO NOT post multiple posts on the same subject. As I composed this message I note you posted three more requests for the same information....]
There are actually three separate issues that will need to be addressed:
Most Windows 7 computers do not have parallel ports and the Deskjet 722 only supports a parallel port. There are USB-parallel converters that can be used, but many of these do not support Windows 7. Make sure the converter (if you need one) supports Windows 7. The posts tagged here have models that users have reported success with in Windows 7. The port you select will depend on the model you have, the port will typically be USB001: or USB002:.
The driver is delivered through Windows Update. Lately this has been having an issue with the update failing. To check this do the following: click Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Port, LPt1: (for now), Next, click on Windows Update and wait for the list to repopulate. If you get an error "Windows was unable to get a list..." then see the post here for a workaround. Once Windows Update has completed and the list is repopulated select HP Deskjet 720, Next, Next, Finish. (Do not print a test page at this point.) You can now connect the printer cable, then right click on the Deskjet 720, Printer Properties, Ports and select the proper port. [I have no way to know what the port will be for your system. Look for a USBnnn: port or check with the documentation for your converter cable.] Once this has completed and the printer shows up in the Devices and Printers folder you can continue to the next step.
Next apply the patch available here that resolves this issue of the spooler crashing.

I have an iphone 5. I have no idea of the ios version in it. Recently i broke my iphone screen and its showing up nothing. it was never synced to itunes or to any pc. When i tried to connect iphone to itunes in my pc it was asking for passcode which i had forgotten ages ago. Suggest me the possible ways to recover my iphone.
Since the screen doesn't work, it will be challenging to get it working, even thru iTunes. You will need to ask yourself if you want to invest more money in it or get a new one, especially since the contents will be lost since you don't know the passcode. Apple will gladly replace the screen for a cost that represents a significant portion of the price of a new. Once the screen is done, you may or may not be eligible for the free iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program.
Or, if you decide to salvage it and are strong of heart and firm of hand, you can replace the screen yourself for less. See here and note they carry kits with all needed tools and parts. -
Itunes 10.5.1 Completly not working in Win7 (64bit)
This has been a total disaster update for me. I am running Win7 (64bit) with all my windows updates current. I went ahead and updated Itunes to 10.5.1.
That was a severe mistake. Itunes crashes every time I start the program. I notice that genius is running right at the start up and I manage to shut it off but it still crashes.
So far I have done the following:
Started Itunes in safe mode----Crashes
Done a complete clean install and reinstall---Crashes
Downgraded to 10.5 clean install---Crashes
Upgraded back up to 10.5.1 started back in safe mode--Crashes.
I have stopped my anti-virus during all installs and starts and it still crashes.
My system is clean of viruses.
No error messages are provided for all the crashes other than "This program has stopped working"
My frustration is awful. I really hope they get this fixed or someone can offer a solution. I am so sorry I ran that upgrade.After a day 1/2 of frustration and tears I got Itunes 10.5.1 working properly on my Win 7 64bit Home Edition.
I concluded that the profile, lets call it blue99 was in some way corrupted. The reason is that I followed the troubleshooting steps outlined here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Under the heading of Create a New User Account
I went ahead and created a new profile, lets call it B99. Under this new profile, I started up Itunes and sure enough it fired right up, Itunes store came up etc with no crashes. The strange part is that when it started up, the Itunes user agreement came up. In the other profile where Itunes would crash, after I would re-install, I NEVER GOT THE USER AGREEMENT. It would just go through an install, and when it would restart, it would immediately start to crash.
So now I concluded in agreement with the suport article that it was a "user-specific problem"
With this info, I took a gamble. I did not follow the "User specific Troubleshooting" offered in the article.
Instead I followed the directions found here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
I followed these very carefully. I copied all of my files found under C:\users\Old_Username folder, in this case that would have been the profile blue99. From there I copied the folders in there to the C:\users\New_Username folder in this case B99. The most important rule of thumb is MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FULL ADMINSTRATIVE PERMISSIONS BEFORE YOU START.
I then right clicked on the B99 folder and went to Properties and under the Security tab I gave the profile B99 full permissions. After this I went back to Control Panel and under User accounts I went and turned the B99 profile into full administrator and took the corrupted profile blue99 and switched it too Standard adminstration.
I restarted my computer and logged in under B99, started up Itunes and Yay!! Itunes is up and running. No crashes so far!! When I was running Itunes on the old profile I went ahead and turned off Genius and Home sharing. In this new profile I turned on Genius and it worked with no crashes. But I don't want to push my luck so I turned it off. Itunes has been running with no crashes. This is what worked for me, yeah its convuluted but I was desperate!! I don't even consider this a patch, so much as I cheated to get Itunes running.
If someone has a simpler way to get Itunes 10.5.01 to run, please let me know!!
Please note when I started this I had already reinstalled Itunes on the corrupted profile. I did not install Itunes again on the new profile. I just started it up.
