Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • How can I get my Windows computer to recognize my USB flash drive?

    I have a jump drive, & every time I plug it in, the computer won't  read it. I've tried different USB ports, & even another computer. It  just won't show up, help please! Any advice would be greatly  appreciated.

    Suggest you post your question on a Windows forum, as it reallly has nothing to do with anything Apple related.

  • TS1591 How do I get Itunes 11.0 to recognize my IPOD Nano 2nd gen

  • TS1591 My iPhone 5 was originally backed up to another computer (that is now dead) and my new computer won't recognize it.  So how do I get the new computer to recognize it?

    I'm trying to back-up my iPhone to iTunes, but when the phone is plugged in it does not register as a device in iTunes.
    The phone is receiving a charge from the computer.
    All of my software is up to date.
    I am using a computer other than the one I last backed the phone up with (my old laptop crashed, now I'm working off of my new iMac).
    How do I get the computer to recognize the phone so I can do a back-up?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • I can't get my windows computer to recognize my iPhone 4s.  What should I do?

    I have an iPhone 4s that I'm trying to sync with my windows computer but I can't get my computer to recognize the iPhone.  My computer is running with the windows 7 64 bit operating system.  I have the latest version of iTunes as well.  I've followed the troubleshooting guide and still haven't been able to get it to show up.  I've even gone so far as to uninstall all of my apple software and then reinstall iTunes.  Still doesn't work.  I'd appreciate any suggestions that you all might have.

    Also, I just realized that I activated/setup the phone using a computer that I no longer have.  When I go into the iPhone's settings>general>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync menu, it says that it will sync with that old computer when it is available?  Can my iPhones only sync with one computer at a time?  If so, what do I do if I no longer have that original computer?

    Try:

    Note you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. You can manually manage music and videos among different computer by:

  • How can we get a new computer to recognize photo folders on the iPhone so they can be deleted from the iPhone?

    My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

    iOS does not operate on the computer.
    If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

    Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer?

  • How do I get my "new" computer to recognize my iPhone 4 as a primary device

    I used my laptop(Vista) to back-up/update/sync/everything with my iPhone 4 but it recently died. On my desktop PC(Windows 7) I once used it for an iPod which has since been lost. I authorized my desktop, transferred purchases, backed the phone up and even tried restoring but got a message saying there wasn't enough space on my phone to do so. When I do sync, it will not sync any music from my library and keeps what's on the phone there.
    I don't neccessarily want to wipe my phone with the chance of losing all my contacts, notes, photos, etc or download some third party software just to sync music because a design flaw. All the music on my phone had been transferred onto my laptop via flashdrive from my desktop.
    Is there any simple solution to this?
