I updated iTunes on my laptop to 11.1.4 and now my iPhone 4S won't show up in iTunes.  I have WIndows 8.  My iPhone shows up there, just not in iTUnes as a device.

Windows 8.1, 64bit
It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install.  It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

  • I got a new laptop this summer and now my iPhone 4s won't stay syncing to iTunes on it when I use the usb cord. What do I do?

    I went from a toshiba to an hp laptop. My iPhone 4S connected to it originally but now i can't get it to stop connecting and unconnecting long enough for it to sync properly anymore. I've tried a number of different cores to get it to work but it doesn't change anything. What should I do?

  • I have updated iOS7 today via iTunes as I was not able to update it directly in the iPhone. After the update I restored the back up and now the iPhone is not getting started. Please advice?

    That error message suggest you have a permissions issue. Make sure you have full read/write privileges for the Drive/ Folder location that you are copying the files to. 

  • My iPhone 5S won't show up in iTunes to sync. It charges still and it opens iPhoto, but doesn't even register in iTunes

    My iPhone 5S won't show up in iTunes to sync. It charges still and it opens iPhoto, but doesn't even register in iTunes. I have no idea what to do and nothing is working!
    And the other night while i was trying to sync my phone, it was working until "Error message (-50)" started coming up every time i tried to sync or update my phone's software through itunes on my computer. eventually, itunes quit and i unplugged my phone and updated it wirelessly. i have no idea why any of this is happenings. Itunes is still acting weird for me too.

    Error -50 is generally associated with firewalls or anti-virus software as described here:

    Separately, are you using iTunes 11.1.4?

  • I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  No error message, just -600.

    I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  Message just says 'unable to open' -600.  I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way.  What should I do?  There's nothing in Help that helps.

    Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.

  • I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

    I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
    Why is this happening? 
    Here is my computer information:
    Dell
    Latitude D630
    Intel Core  Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32-bit Operating System
    Thank you,
    Kelly

    There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

  • Updated iTunes to 11.0 (161). Now one iPhone 4 won't connect

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4 that we backup and sync on a shared MacBook Pro. They have been working fine.
    Yesterday evening I updated iTunes to 11.0 (163). One iPhone 4 connects to iTunes and seems fine. I can backup and sync. The other iPhone showed up once briefly, then iPhoto opened automatically as if I had connected a camera or memory card. This same iPhone 4 will not show up in iTunes now. I've restarted the MBP and the iPhone multiple times but nothing. The cable seems fine since it works with the other iPhone. This second iPhone just won't connect.
    Any ideas?

    I think the problem is the iphone itself and the update to iTunes 11 was just a coincidence. My other iPHone 4 an both of my iPod Touches still connect, backup, and sync just fine.
    I'll try a factory reset to see if it's some buggered up setting, but my guess is the data port is toast. I'll see about repairing it or replacing it if the reset doesn't work.

  • IPhone 5s won't show up in iTunes

    I bought an iPhone 5s today and after it was fully activated and working, tried to hook it up to my computer. It said my itunes had to update, however it wouldn't update so I uninstalled itunes and downloaded it off of apple's site. This time it downloaded and when I checked itunes for updates, it said it was at 11.1.5 and current. However, when I plug my phone in, it won't show up in itunes. It registers on the computer and the phone asks me if I want to trust this computer, to which I answer yes.
    I've tried checking the apple mobile support and stopping and starting it again along with anything else to do with the mobile. I've tried reinstalling, restarting and pretty much everything I can think of.
    My computer is a fully updated, windows 8.1 HP

  • My iphone 4 won't show up in iTunes after installing snow leopard

    My iPhone 4 won't show up after snow leopard has been installed. I just updated iTunes to 10.5.3 (3). the Macbook pro does recognize the device in iPhoto and I can sync the photos. But no connection is made with iTunes. I've read something about it on the support forums, but I'm not sure what to do for fear of losing data either on my phone or on iTunes. Can you help?
    Thanks

    Hello macr888,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • IPhone 5 won't show up in iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac

    Just updated to iOS 7.1.
    When I backed up just prior to update, had a similar problem once, and re-booting iPhone took care of it.
    After update to 7.1 alert appeared on phone stating I had to plug into computer to re-establish WiFi syncing again.
    However, even with USB cable plugged in, the iPhone won't appear. Tried re-booting both phone and Mac to no avail.
    Any ideas?

  • IPhone 4 won't show up in iTunes

    Hi All,
    I recently bought an iPhone 4, but had to upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to download the new iTunes. It has been a long process just to use my iPhone. However, I still HAVE NOT USED IT Now when I try to plug in my iPhone 4 and connect to iTunes I was able to activate it the first time, but now it won't show up in itunes at all.I have already tried the suggestion tips through the apple document (i.e., uninstall iTunes, reinstall), but this is not working.
    So I tried to restore my iPhone but I keep on getting an error message saying that "iPhone could not be restored an unkown error occurred 1611". Now everytime I plug in my iPhone I get a message saying that "detected an iphone in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone"-BUT I CAN'T b/c I get the error message above!
    Please hlep me I am so frustrated at this point!

    For future reference, I was able to get my iPhone to show up in my iTunes by clicking on the apple icon-->about this mac--> then software update. Seem to have done the trick!

  • I tried to update to ios7 and now my iPhone 5 wants me to plug into iTunes, but I don't have a computer. What do I do?

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS7.2 and now it wants me to plug it into a computer. I do not have a computer, so I obviously can't plug it in. I don't know how to fix this.

    If you have the 'connect to iTunes' screen then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes - do you know a friend or family member who has a computer with iTunes installed that they would let you use, or you could potentially go to an Apple Store and see if they can do it (though preferably make a Genius bar appointment, don't just turn up at a busy time)
