HELP!  error message - Apple iPhone 4s is not recognized on my computer

I have tried everything but continue to get this message and am unable to sync my iPhone.  It is a 4s 32 gb and i am using the the original cable (and have also used the original cable for my iPad - which works for the iPad but not the phone).  To make matters worse, I am not a 'techy' person and only know enough to make me dangerous!!!  I can charge the phone and have tried a few basic things that were suggested by others and nothing seems to work.  Someone suggested a problem with the drivers???  Any suggestions?
Also, occassionally I get a message about the USB has malfunctioned!  I have 4 ports and it makes no difference which one I use.  don't get that with the iPad - only the phone.

    LizzieB423, thanks for doing your best to resolve this issue on your own. Have you checked the available storage space at iCloud? If it is full to capacity, then you will be unable to sync your iPhone. You may check the storage in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Available.
If the iCloud is full to capacity, then you may need to delete any unwanted applications, text messages, e-mails, music, notes, and files. Once you have done this, then try to sync your device again. Keep us posted.

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

  • HT1923 I can´t reinstall itunes. I updated and after downloading the latest version and installing it the error message: "apple aplication support was not found. it is required to run itunes. uninstall and install again. Error 2

    I bought an iphone 4s. After plugging it via usb to my computer itunes demanded to update version to 10.3 or higher. I uninstalled itunes, downloaded latest version (11.0.2) and during installation process on "activating services" it shows error message: "installation failed, verify administrator priviliges" which i have because i sign in as my pc administrator. I click on ignore and it tells me itunes has been succesfully instaled but when i try to run it it shows the error message: "apple application support was not found. It is required to run itunes. Uninstall and install itunes again. (which i have done several times) error 2 (windows error 2)." Someone please help me with this problem. Thanks.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • When dowloading itunes, constantly get error message 'Apple Mobile Device -could not be installed- Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.

    When downloading itunes to my pc, get error message 'Apple mobile device could not be installed - verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services'
    i am forced to abort/cancel. Can anyone help please?

    Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
    You're not alone buddy.

  • Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

    I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

  • Can iMessage be used with non iOS 5 users, ie non-apple users. My new i-pad 2 error message says these contacts are not recognized by imessage when I try to text some of these contacts.

    Can iMessage be used with non iOS 5 users, ie non-apple users?
    My new i-pad 2 error message says these contacts are not recognized by imessage when I try to send them a text.

    So that means that I can send text messages through my i-phone to reach non iOS 5 users, but not through my i-pad 2.

  • I downloaded my CSDesignWebPremium and when I tried to mount the disk--an error message said "DesignWebPremium,_CS6_LS16.dmg" not recognized

    (I am using a MAC 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 (16GB 1600 MHz DDR3) OSX 10.7.5)

    Squasha9 it would appear that the DMG you downloaded is corrupted.  Where did you download the installation files from?  You can download a copy of the installation files from Download CS6 products.

  • Unable to Reinstall iTunes - error message: "Apple Application Support was not found"

    When attempting to update my iPhone today, my iTunes would not open.  I followed the instructions to completely uninstall iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support.  I then attempted to reinstall iTunes, and everything went perfectly until I attempted to open iTunes.  When attempting this, I am receiving the message "Apple Application Support was not found.  Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.  Error 2 (Windows error 2).  Any advice on how to "get this back"?

    Read through the user ip http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562 for the best solution.

  • Can any one help remove error message Apple SyncNotifier.exe_entry point not found

    Hi I have a nano ipod and a microsoft computer and every time I boot up the computer I have the above message? which I have to delete off the main screen.
    Can any help me to stop the message coming up ?
    Cheers
    Phil

    Do this: Go to My Computer, then local disk(C:)/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support then right-click SQLite3.dll file and select copy then go back to the Apple folder then select Mobile Device Support then right-click on the window(not on the files in that folder) and select paste to add that in the folder.
    Hope this solves your problem. It did on mine. It's like the exact error message I had on the iTunesHelper.exe issue and it was solved from the message that was added in the forums by an Apple representative.

  • Error Message:  Apple Application Support was not found and is required to run iTunes.  Uninstall and then install iTunes again.   I did 3 times

    I just tried to install iTunes on my new HP Envy w/Windows 8.   The error message above is what I get when I try to open it.   The installation seems complete.  It will just not open.   I uninstalled and reinstalled three times.

    Hi Wisechoice,

  • HT201210 Please help - error message saying 'filmware file is not compatable', and videos will not transfer from phone to computor.  what can i do?

    As title says, I keep having this error message 'filmware not compatable' and my videos will not load. 
    Can someone please help this very non-tech-savy lady???!!
    Cheers in advance

    Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
    Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
    You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
    Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
    It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

  • HT1386 i'm receiving error message; "The iPhone "___" could not be synched beacuse the sync session failed to start."

    this is continually happening.  This iPhone 4 had corporate information on it.  When I left the company on Monday, they remote-wiped the phone.  I knew this would happen.  Now I can't sync it at all!!!
    I started from "new" and attempted to rebuild from scratch.
    USB not working properly
    WiFi not working properly
    iCloud brought most apps back
    iTunes brought most apps back
    I'm using:
    iTunes v10.6.3.25
    iOS: 5.1.1
    it all appears to be 'ok' then i spend an hour arranging the way-too-many apps--then i get the error that the iPhone will not start the session.
    I do NOT get the circular arrows indicating sync on the phone
    iTunes DOES attempt to talk to the phone (so it appears in the top dialog bar)
    How to I force the session to start?
    Thx, Frustrated in Miami -- (this is not a time to talk to Apple with the iPhone 5 craziness!)

    This may help you

  • When I try to connect my iPod touch I get an error message that the "phone" is not recognized, unknown error 0xE8000084.  Help

    I am using my husband's old iPod touch and when I try to connect it to iTunes I get that error message.  It is recognized in my computer as unspecified under Devices and Printers

    Thanks.  I had searched for that error message but had the whole number and nothing came up.  I followed the directions and now it is recognized.  The only thing I hadn't done before was to disconnect my external hard drive.  Go figure.

  • My Iphone 2g is not recognized by my computer

    My iphone 2g has been deactivated since I got a new iphone 3gs. I would like to give my old iphone to my niece, but it seems the old iphone is not even recognized by the computer as new hardware nor will it charge with my usb/wall charger combo. (Actually, if you leave it plugged in over night it does charge with it, but it doesn't make the charging sound or have the charging icon showing). Still, my biggest concern is that it may not be able to sync to itunes to reactivate if the computer doesn't recognize it. In addition, it will charge just fine with a car charger. This problem actually began before I bought my new phone. I would have to plug and unplug the usb cable several times before it was finally recognized by the computer or the wall charger. I'm thinking there could be a problem with the usb connection on the phone. Any ideas?
