HT4528 iphone 5 not recognized as portable device in Windows 7 ultimate (64)

My iPhone 5 refuses to show up under my computer as a portable device, but syncs perfectly with itunes 11.0.1.12.  Oddly, my wife's iPhone shows up on her Dell XPS 9100 which is also running W7U x64.  I have a newer version of the same PC (the only real major difference being an intel 990x hexacore processor in mine vs the wife's quadcore 930 but I can't imagine why that would make any difference).  I thought that maybe the apple mobile device driver needed to be updated but that's not it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but no luck.  I find it extremely odd that my iPod touch 5 gen is actually showing up as it should. Since my iPhone is now my primary everyday camera for quick snapshots (carrying my SLR for other than specialty photos is far too cumbersome), I need to be able to transfer my pictures.  I could try the wife's computer but would prefer to save my pics on my computer and not have to transfer from hers to save time.  Anyone have any ideas?

I FIGURED IT OUT. THANK FREAKING GOD!
This is what I did:
I went to control panel and unistalled iTunes completely, then I installed 10.6.3
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes which you can find here
It came up with an error saying that my library had beed used with a more updated verision, basically had to upgrade. I installed iTunes 10.7
After it had installed and iTunes was running I hooked up both my iPhone and my flash drive, I have more than 1 usb port I figure most computers do now, and by the time and date in the bottom right corner a small icon came up showing that I had devices hooked up. It showed both my iPhone (but did not know what it was) and my flash drive. If you right click on the iPhone it has the option to Troubleshoot it. I did it and my iPhone 5 now FINALLY SYNCS!
I'm sooo happy now.

  • Iphone 3g not recognized by computer(s). Windows 7. Charges when plugged into wall, but not PC's. Also not listen in Device Manager. I have hard reset/soft. reinstalled itunes after clean wipe. went through services... help! Windows 7

    Hello all. My system is Windows 7 64bit. In the past my phone worked just fine, plug it into a usb slot, synced up, updated... but for months now it has not worked. Other Iphones will not work on this PC either with their corresponding cables. But my Iphone will also not work when plugged into other computers.. it will not show up at all.. no charge.. no itunes... no drivers show up in Device Manager. My phone works just fine when plugged into the wall with it's cable.. charges fine everything works.. but it will not charge when plugged into a computer.
    So far... I have uninstalled everything related to apple... ran ccleaner.. fixed registry errors. Reboot PC, reinstall all itunes and apple components (all latest software) and nothing.
    I have gonet o services and stopped and started apple mobile device. It is set to automatic.
    I have hard reset the phone and soft reset it.
    The cable obviously works. The Phone works when plugged into the wall.
    Other Iphones will not work on my pc, nor will my iphone work on theirs
    I have disabled windows firewall along with my Comodo Defense Plus and it's firewall. I have disabled my AV. I have scanned with ad aware plus, Avast, ran hijack this and fixed registry errors. Ran Ccleaner.
    My device manager does not have anything related to apple in it.. I have no idea why. My Device Manager has no portable devices detected at all and does not recognize anything related to the phone.
    Core 2 duo 6600
    2gigs of ram
    Windows 7 64 bit
    I have checked all the tech support stuff I can find. I am desperate. Apple will not help me on the phone without charging me 30$.

    Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

  • IPhone 4s not recognized by iTunes 11 on Window 8

    Ran the repair feature on iTunes, nuthin'!
    Checked the cord, yep, Charge/Sync cable.
    Unplugged, replugged, nuthin'!
    Plugged into different USB port, nuthin'!
    Removed device from hardware devices and reloaded, nuthin'!
    Can still manuever into photo folder, but that's it.
    iTunes ran my phone just fine a couple updates ago, but now it won't even recognize it.
    Maybe it is time I looked into Amazon's Premium service.
    And please, don't give me any Apple Support links, I already tried everything they had that was even close to this problem, and what happened?....nuthin'!!

    Just and update....
    Tried restarting both the iPhone and iTunes...nuthin'.
    Tried with the Virus software off...still nuthin'.
    And as for third-party fixes...whose? The Internet is a big place to just go grabbing at straws.
    Everything was fine before upgrading to W8.1. I guess this is Microsoft's way at getting "even" with us for...dare I say it?...buying an Apple product!?!
    Well, if they'd come out with something that was anywhere near as good, and as easy to use, maybe I would.

  • HT201302 iphone is not recognized as an accessible device by your windows 7 or 8 pc?

    Despite the fact that itunes has no problems accessing the iphone nor does a 3rd party paid app like "iExplorer", the iphone is not recognized as a device by Windows (7 and 8). The support bulletin referenced is inadequate.

    Hi James,
       I'll give you steps so it'll be easy to read.
    I suggest having your phone plugged into a working USB during this process.
      1. Open up your Device Manager (run/use command line devmgmt.msc or look for it by sliding open your charm bar located on the right of your computer screen, selecting PC Info, and then on the left hand side of your PC Info window, click "Device Manager"
    2. Once you are in your device manager, look at the above tab (It should say File, Action, View, and Help) and Click View. Click "Show Hidden Devices"
    3. Look for "Portable Devices", and click it. There should be something similar or exact to "Apple iPhone".
    4. Right click it, and select "Update Driver Software..."
    5. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    6. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    7. Click "Show All Drivers", then click "Next"
    8. Click "Have Disk"
    9. Type in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    10. Click "Browse", there should be a file that says "usbaapl64" RIGHT click it and click "Install"
    11. From there it should install. Open iTunes to make sure.
    Please let me know if my directions are not clear enough, it took me some time to figure out what I was doing myself. I wish you the best!

  • Iphone 6 not recognized in windows

    iphone 6 not recognized in windows but it's recognized in Itunes. I uninstalled and reinstall Itunes but it's still not working. I have photos in my iphone. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is updated. Under Device Manager and Portable Devices, I can't find Apple iPhone. Please advise.

    then uninstall bonjour and maybe use regedit to search and delete all registry keys
    and you can always connect it to another computer with a non messed up apple software and copy out the photos without having to pair or sync or anything with the computer

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks
    Gina

    I was able to uninstall and reinstrall iTunes, but my Iphone does not appear in iTunes, nor in Windows Explorer on my Windows 7 desktop. But it does appear in both iTunes and Windows Explorer on my laptop which runs Windows 8... How can I get it reconginzed on my desktop?

  • IPhone 5 not recognizing SIM card, I can't activate the phone.

    Hi, everybody.
    A couple of days ago, I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. I have an iPhone 4 and, as you know, they both have different SIM card sizes (4 uses micro size and 5 uses nano size). When I got the iPhone 5, I restored it to factory settings, but couldn't activate it 'cause I didn't have the nano SIM card (or SIM nano card, anyhow it goes), so I just turned it off. Next morning, I went to my mobile carrier to buy a nano SIM card (they took like 28 hours long to activate it…anyway) but the iPhone is not recognizing it, so I cannot activate it.
    I've gotten stuck in the white "Hello" screen for like 3 days already and I'm running desperate 'cause I wanna use my stupid iPhone 5…
    Please, guys, any help?
    EDIT: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a way to restore it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes 'cause he said that from iPhone 4S onwards all phones have to be restored with a SIM card inserted. Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

  • IPhone 4s not recognized after update to ios 7.1

    My iPhone will no longer sync nor show up in windows explorer (running Windows 7) after installing update 7.1. It may be relevant to note that I had replaced the dock connector prior to updating to 7.1, but the device was still syncing and showing up in the explorer. After updating, it won't show up plugged in and not on WiFi sync either.
    I have followed the advice here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    I have had no success. I have tried multiple cables which I don't believe are the issues since they charge just fine.
    Has anyone discovered a solution besides the aforementioned for this?
    UPDATE 1: It should also be important to note that the iphone does not show up in device manager AT ALL. Not under Universal Serial Bus controllers nor Imaging devices. There are no "Other Devices" or "Portable Devices" categories listed on my Device Manager.

    Can anyone please help? This community is not like it used to be...
    The worst part is, I cannot even do a restore since the device does not show in windows at all. I have even tried another computer and it is not showing up. At the very least, can someone tell me if they believe this is iPhone hardware related or iPhone software related?
    As I said, the iPhone was syncing just fine after the dock connector replacement. It was only after updating from ios 7.0 to 7.1 that the problem arose.
    Please any little bit of feedback is helpful.
