  • Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

    Two problems:
    1. Extemely slow charging:
    - I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
    - When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
    - I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
    - I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
    2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
    - I have Vista 32bit
    - I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
    - I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
    - I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
    When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
    1. I get a message saying:
    "Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
    2. I get a message saying:
    "Installing device driver software"
    3. I get a message saying:
    "Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
    - I click on "check for a solution"
    4. Then it tells me:
    "Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
    PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

    The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
    If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
    If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
    Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:

  • Itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone

    itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone 4S
    also, once I plug in my iphone, it is recognized as a camera, but nothing to do with music.
    if i have to upgrade software, how do i do that?

    You get Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD if you have a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, or Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD if you have an Intel Mac. If you're using a G3 Mac, you need a newer computer.

  • Windows does not recognize my iphone name, but itunes does

    This is a reqpost of another forum on diff site, but is the exact same problem i have~
    After the IOS5 update~  and and updating two phones on same computer~
    I have windows 7 x64bit, and the problem is it does not recognize my iPhone's name anymore.. in itunes it shows the correct name but when ever i look at My Computer listed under portable devices the name is wrong instead of being Louie's iPhone it shows Kim's iPhone (My Fiancees iPhone).. i can still access it and get my pictures and stuff but the name of the device is just wrong.. so im hoping you guys know how to solve this problem.. this only started happening when i installed iOS 5...
    so to sum it up..
    iTunes... Louie's iPhone
    Windows... Kim's iPhone
    here are the things I already did but did not work...
    ... uninstalled everything apple, rebooted and reinstalled.
    ... restored my iPhone as new 3x and still nothing....
    I am at a lost here.. so please help me guys? i know you can solve this coz sinful has never failed me before

    In Windows 7, it is not possible to change the name by right-clicking and selecting properties! It doesn't work...
    The only solution that worked was to search the registry for the incorrect name and adjust it by hand, which strikes me as a pretty ****** solution! Better would be that the Apple USB driver would just use a neutral name like "iPhone". Which makes me wonder what would happen if two iPhones are connected at the same time: how can they be told apart in the "Computer" application?

    I have reset my iphone and made sure all updates have been done on my macbook pro and iphone. It was after updating my macpro that I plugged in my phone and went to itunes to backup phone and can't see the device anywhere! I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!

  • My laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device. I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how

    Hi everyone,
    my laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device anymore.
    I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how.
    The iPhone does charge when I plus it in the USB hub but it does not ask me to import the photos anymore
    and it also doesn't show it as a device when I click on the "computer" button where an SD card or an Usb stick would normally be displayed..
    I don't know what to do

    Thank you, randers4! I now plugged it directly into the ports of my laptop and it's still not recognized.
    Does the app Photosync work for more than a thousand photos or will this take me forever?
    Thanks a lot

  • HT1199 I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    More about Macs
    The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
    Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
    Important
    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.
