    Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone?  Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
    So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
    What happens now when you connect the iPod?  Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

    I have windows 7 and have no problem with my IPhone yet when I connect a new generation 5 ipod touch I hear the tone from the computer as if it is connected but I do not see it in the windows explorer or on I Tunes. Why can I not see it?

    Do you have iTunes version 11 on your computer?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can I get my computer to recognize my iPod w/out losing music???

    An iPod (60GB) given to me by a friend, with about 500 songs on it, will not be recognized by my laptop (I get the iPod Updated launched and the only option it gives me is to reformat). I use another iPod (mini) on this laptop too. How can I get my computer to recognize it, or is it possible, without reformatting and losing all of the music already on it? I don't have any of the paperwork / drivers / cds that came with it, but it is still under warranty (88 days left). Please help!!! Is there a way to get the music saved off of it before I reformat it?

  • How can I get Win 7 to recognize my iPod again?

    Hi, everytime I plugged in my iPod, windows would want to scan it for errors. This became very annoying, because if I did not click no on the dialog box, itunes wouldn't sync with it. So I did something stupid. I went into disk management and removed the drive letter from the iPod, thinking that may solve the problem. Now my computer doesn't recognize it, and only has it as "Unknown device". Any help on how to get my computer to recognize it again?

  • How do I get my computer to recognize multiple ze

    My computer has the vista operating system - and it was with great difficulty that we were able to get either of the zen's to work. Now we don't have any of the software that originally came with the zens because there was something on the XP driver CD that vista did not like. I have a 'zen v' and my daughter has a 'zen v plus'. I installed mine first, and vista recognizes it and put the zen icon next to it. My daughter's has a generic icon. When I open windows media player to sync, it lists my zen, but not my daughters. When I tell it to refresh the devices, it doesn't even see that the zen v plus is plugged in. In order to put music onto my daughter's zen, I have to put it onto mine, then copy it onto hers. My younger daughter has a Sansa Shaker MP3 player and it works just fine (like mine).

    - Start here.  It is normal and expecedt for the computer open the an image program wehn an iPod is conncted since that is how one syncs saved photo from the iPod to the computer.

  • HT3771 How do I get my computer to recognize my printer and print both Windows7 and Safari?

    I added Parallel software to my MacBook Pro 10.6.8.It was printing fine then asked me to connect usb.  I was just choosing esc.  I think I chose connect Windows.  Now won't print some things.  How do I get it to print all things on both sides?  Thanks for your time

    You need to connect your printer to your WiFi router wirelessly - maybe by using the printer's front panel (if it has one) or maybe by using a Windows (usually) PC connected to the printer with a USB cable.
    Once that's done, you can disconnect the USB cable, and print wirelessly.  From your description, I'm not sure you've done this required first step.
