How do I get iTunes on Windows to talk to my iphone and vice versa?

Problems occurred after iTunes 1.11.4 update on my Windows 7 desktop.. I seem to be missing the Apple Mobile Devise Service and the USB driver. I have meticulously followed the Apple support instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes to no avail. In summary, I uninstalled the required Apple programs (note, AMDS was missing before the uninstalls), including icloud control panel and Tuneup. I restarted. I still had some remaining folders after restarting. I deleted them and restarted. I deleted the Temp folder under my User name/AppData/Local, and emptied the recycle bin. I restarted my computer. I ran CCleaner Registry Cleaner and removed numerous Apple registry items. I restarted my computer. I downloaded the most recent iTunes 1.11.4.62, which was just released January 28th to fix the update issues. I installed iTunes. Everything seems to work in iTunes... the store, etc.. My iPhone 4s with the latest OS still does not connect/ is not recognized. I get an unknown device in Device Manager still and AMDS still isn't present in the program control panel. All other programs are there and seem to be working.
Note... I started this process because I originally received error messages involving MSVCR80.dll being missing. After my first try at reinstalling iTunes all messages went away but my iphone would not connect. By the way, my wife has a desktop with Windows 7 and the same thing occurred. I followed the Apple support suggestions and everything was fixed perfectly... her iphone now connects using AMDS and USB drivers were automatically installed.
I have been working on this for more hours than I would like to admit. Please Help.

Update: I performed a repair of the OS in place, sometimes called a Windows 7 no-reformat, nondestructive reinstall. This took several hours, but my system was then fixed so I was able to follow Apple's iTunes reinstall procedure and bring iTunes/iPhone interface back to life. This was my last resort and one should not start with a Windows 7 reinstall. Problem solved and all programs and data remained in place.

How do I get my iPad to show iMessages from my iPhone, and vice versa?

My iPad used to show the same iMessages as on my iPhone, and vice versa...and now it doesn't. I don't know whether it was an iOS upgrade that fouled it up or what, but I'd like to restore the convenience of seeing and responding to iMessages on either device. They both send and receive iMessages, but one begun on one device does not appear on the other.

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4 I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

TS4185 I can FaceTime my wife from my iPad , but she always receives my call on her iPhone( and vice versa). How can I call iPad to iPad?

receives my call on her iPhone( and vice versa). How can I call iPad to iPad?

Charlie,
You must have a separate and individual id for each of your devices. For her iphone it's the telephone number. For each ipad, you must have a separate and individual id also. The ipad id's must be an e-mail address. You cannot use the same e-mail address for both i pads, and you can not use the email address that you use for Face time log in. The folks I know, create multiple e-mail accounts on Yahoo to facilitate this requirement. These individual phone numbers and e-mail addresses should be put into your calling lists for your Facetime accounts.
So if you want to call your wife's i-pad you need to have the mail address associated with it on your ipad account and visa-versa. I guess you guys will need to make sure you know who's carrying which device...This modern electronic world can be a circus at times, even though it has its rewards.

ITunes for Windows 8 does not see iPhone and iPad

In my HP Envy notebook, iTunes (last version) does not connect to iPhone and iPad. Note that the PC connects to both. Only iTunes does not. I think this version of iTunes for windows does not use the correct USB driver.

I've changed my Apple ID on my Mac but the old Apple ID shows up when I am trying to download apps. How can I get the new Apple ID on my new Iphone and remove the old ID?

I changed my Apple ID on my MacBook. My new Iphone5 seems to have my old Apple ID on it. Therefore I can't download apps. How do I 1) remove the old Apple ID on my Iphone and 2) install the new ID on the phone.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311 Just remember apps that were downloaded with the old Apple ID will be locked to that ID. It will ask for the old ID password when trying to update.

How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to. How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it. Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

How do I get my contacts to sync using iCloud for iPhone and iPad.

I can sync my pictures using icloud on my iPhone and my iPad however when I try to do the same for contacts having no luck. Also when I type a callander event on my iPad it comes up on my phone however when I type entry on iPad on calendar it does not come up on my phone.. Can anyone help.

Yes I agree with iamjeremie above. I am a newbie and had some trouble with this myself over last few days but now sorted.
You can also select existing cal entries, edit them and change calendar to correct one (iCloud cal in your case). Yes you need to set iCloud cal as default in settings. Also it may be worth disabling other unused or unwanted calendars in other accounts if you only want to use iCloud. Make sure to accept the prompt and save existing entries to device when disabling accounts so you do not loose or switch off your existing entries. Less confusing that way. Remember you can change entries to another cal in the future if you wish.
Keep it simple. I now have 2 calendars set up on iPhone and one on iPad.
Exchange cal for work. On exchange server at work and work stuff syncs with windows PC and server at work.
Hotmail cal for personal stuff that syncs with work iPhone, home PC and personal iPad.
I would have used iCloud for all but work iPhone and personal iPad are on separate iCloud accounts.
This was a work around and works great for me and enables me to enter synced personal cal entries on my work iPhone.
