  • Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

    Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation?  and of course iTunes either.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (it applies to win 8)

  • Windows 7 does not recognize ipod 6th gen nano

    Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

    Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
    To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
    It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

    My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my Windows 7 laptop.  iTunes on this PC recognizes it okay, but Windows 7 does not see it as a camera.  On my old WinXP machine, it is recognized with no problem.

    Did you check the camera notification?
    Maybe you'll need to enable it again and reverse the process described in this article:

  • Verizon...Stop with the "Do a factory reset" garbage...It does NOT work!!!

    Stop telling everyone to do a factory reset...It's like Obama reading off a teleprompter for every word he says!  Get a new script for your customer service call center and delete the factory reset verbiage.  IT DOES NOT WORK.....PERIOD!

      I do believe for some problems a Factory Reset is the right answer, but not when it comes to missed calls/text messages.

  • Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

    I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
    Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
    Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
    However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
    And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help  because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
    Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

  • HT201302 My PC (windows xp) does not recognize the iPhone as a digital camera. What do I do?

    The iPhone 3G does not show up in My Computer, but syncs OK with iTunes, no problem.  I need to back up my photos on the iPhone!! Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

    When I connect my iPhone to a PC running Windows XP just to charge it, the scanner and camera wizard launches automatically prompting me what to do about importing the photos in the Camera Roll. I don't recall having to add my iPhone as a camera first. The scanner and camera wizard detected my iPhone as a camera automatically which it should do without having to do anything extra first - as long as there are photos in the Camera Roll.

  • My Windows computer does not recognize my iPhone.

    Hello. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop (Windows Vista) the iPhone does not appear in "My Computer." It does sync with iTunes. I searched around and apparently the fix is to delete and reinstall iTunes. Will I lose all of my music when I delete iTunes? What about videos, popcasts, etc?
    Thanks.

    Uninstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose any music.

  • I have updated iphone 4 to iOS 6 now itunes 10.7 on windows 7 does not recognize it

    Hi I have updated iphone 4 to iOS 6 and also updated itunes to 10.7, now when I connect my device via usb it does not appear in itunes. I have followed all the advice in troubleshooter including uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but it still doesn't appear. Please can anyone help with this? I am not really very tech minded so a simple solution would help!! thankyou

    Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

  • Windows 7 Does Not Recognize New Cartridges in C5180

    Well, the subject just about says it all.  I installed three new cartridges in my C5180.  The display on the printer shows that all of the cartridges that I installed are full.  The printer report shows that the cartridges were installed today and showed the ink expire date to be nearly 2 years down the road.  Everything looks good as far as I can tell.
    Except, Windows 7 says that I need to install 2 of the cartridges out of the 3 I installed.  My choice is to print Black Only or not print at all.  The funny thing is, I can choose Black Only and my color print out prints.  The message is extremely annoying.
    Any help?  I tried to reset the printer by removing the ink cartridges with the printer on, unplugging the power, and then powering on with the power and help pressed down (which is very hard to do if not impossible alone on this printer).  I then powered back on normally and installed the cartridges again.  This is still fine for the printer but does not affect Win7.
    What else can I do?
    Thanks.

    Nevermind.  I removed the device, turned the power off and back on to let Windows reinstall the device.  That made the problem go away.  I should have tried that first.

  • Pavilion dv7 laptop ac adapter problem. It works, but Windows 7 does not recognize it anymore.

    The ac adapter works, and the battery remains at 100%, but the icon never switches from battery to AC.  The laptop will not turn on without the battery and just AC, yet the adapter keeps the battery charged at 100%.  Windows 7 will not perform some of the updates when it thinks it is running on battery.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same issue with my G61.  I apologize in advance for hi jacking your post and leaving such a long reply but maybe it will help both of us in the long run.
    The problem started off by everyonce in a while my battery icon showing my battery needed replaced.  I ran the battery tool and it said the battery was bad.  I eventually replaced the battery to no avail.  Here is everything that I have done and noted while dealing with this problem.  After replacing the battery the battery tool would not run saying that in order for the test to work the AC adapter needs to be plugged in (computer will only work with the AC adapter plugged in).  If I am using the computer and the adapter happens to come unplugged it almost instantly goes into a permenant sleep and I have to hard reset and plug the adapter back in in order to use the laptop.
    The icon at the bottom of the screen does not show the battery charging.  It only shows the battery in good standing and its current power level.  If I remove the battery it changes to no battery present.
    Some wierd things that are going on are the computer will boot up on battery power alone but as soon as windows is loading at the desktop it will go back into permenant sleep and will have to hard reset.  Also the computer will not power on with the battery removed and the AC adapter plugged in but all my power indicators are lit up showing its getting power.
    I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performed all the updates thinking that maybe that would fix the problem.  But it did not.  Although now when I run the battery tool it does not tell me to plug in the AC adapter.  It goes through the process and tell me that everyting is OK and my battery checks out fine.
    One thing that gives me hope that its a software issue is that I have no issue using the battery when running Windows in any version of SAFE MODE.  I can run it till the battery dies without it going into permenant sleep.
    I have read that it could be a motherboard issue but not sure how to verify.  Any help to help us figure this out would be fantabulous.
