My iphone 4s keeps coming up as unknown device since i upgraded to ios 7. it will not activate

ive got an iphone 4s which worked fine before i upgraded to ios 7. now it is stuck at the activation screen because it keeps telling me my device is unknown. i have tried activating it over wifi and through itunes but no luck, itunes tells me that there is a problem with the device and to contact a service centre. it has an active sim card in and all worked fine before, now i have a very expensive paperweight and im getting very annoyed. apple want £25 just to talk to me which i am not paying as i think its ridulous that i have to pay for thier **** up. does anyone have any adive or had this problem before?

Ok I just got pass the error CONNECT TO iTUNES and UNKNOWN DEVICE. I can not gurentee this will work for anyone else. This is what I did and it worked out:
CONNECT TO iTUNES error
1. I removed the sim card and put the device on charge for several hours, the display switch between the Apple logo and the connet to iTunes logo.
2. I launched iTunes and connect the device to the computer while the display was on the Apple Logo (not connet to iTunes logo).
3. I put the device in DFU while still on the Apple logo.
4. I forced a deliberate error while attempting to restore by selecting a older iOS firmware (iOS 6) and click restore (I got the error, maybe this step does nothing but things changed from here).
5.At this point the device remained in DFU mode and restored to the current iOS 7.0.4 firware.
UNKNOWN DEVICE error
6. After restore the device went into searching, at this point I put the the sim card into the phone
7. Select Language and Country, the device error Unknow Device (this might be as far as you can go).
8. I took the sim card out and let the phone rest. After an hour or so the device completed the search and read No Sim.
9. I put the sim card back into the phone and the phone activated.
I tried evething online and nothing worked. This is what worked for me. Hope this helps, good Luck!

Creative Zen 8Gb-Unknown Device!

Creative Zen 8Gb-Unknown Device!? Player: Creative Zen 8gb
Firmware Version: .20.02e
OS: Win XP with Service Pack 3 (Unknown Origin)
Windows Media Player: Version .0.572.545
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q PRO
My problem is that when I connect the player to my computer it is recognized as a Unknown Device and listed as Unknown Device in the Uni'versal Serial Bus Controller of Device Manager.
There is no yellow triangle, there is no section for Portable Devices. It simply registers as Unknown Device.
There is no apparent way to synch with the device. It does not show up in Creative Media Explorer, Windows Explorer or Windows Media Player.
The Original Creative CD installation package does not detect it.
The newest Creative XP installation package from official website does not detect it.
The newest Creative firmware installation package from official website does not detect it.
I have tried several USB slots from front and back (am using back mostly) and short black USB cable (0s long) as well as another USB cable. All USB ports are 2.0.
The player charges normally when connected to the computer and works perfectly for listening to music etc.
Help please! Im poor as hell and will go insane without this player :/

When I connect the Zen, that is where the change happens in the Device Manager trees. It is not recognised as Creative Zen, Portable Device or even a device with a yellow exclamation triangle.
In other words, when I plug in the player, that is how it is represented in the Device Manager trees. As an Unknown Device in the USB controller section.
For your information I have tried this player on 3 other systems.
Laptop A with Win XP/Service Pack 3/WMP
Laptop B with Win XP/Service Pack 3/WMP 0
Laptop C with Windows 7
RESULT IS ALWAYS SAME.
UNKNOWN DEVICE!
The player works fine in and of itself and charges normally when plugged.
Please confirm what are the system requirements for Firmware Version: .20.02e which is the currently installed version on my Creative Zen 8GB

I have the iPhone 3GS and I was updating to the IOS 5 version when at the end of the update it said updated failed. Now my phone is not recognized by my computer or any computer. The computer says it is a unknown device and my phone will not do anything.

Need help finding out what happened to my phone and what I can do. After trying to update my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5 my phone will no longer work and is an unknown device to any computer. It is like it wiped out everything on the iPhone and has no hardware or data on it. At the end of the download and update of IOS 5 it said there was an error during the process and gave me no option but to push ok and know phone is not working. The screen shows the USB plug and iTunes symbol, but computers will not recognize device.

What was the error number? That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes. See:

Equium L10: Windows Vista Beta2 - unknown device

Hi
I have a Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP loaded as default but I installed VISTA Beta2 "public release" on it and given that it's only a 1.5GHz Celeron CPU with 512MB RAM, it ran extremely well but, I have one problem which I am hoping that I can get help with from the users in this forum and especially those who have the same/similar Equium model as I have?
Ok, after installing VISTA I checked in Device Manager and noticed "Unknown Device". After checking out the info given in it's properties, I have detailed it below:
Location: Microsoft ACPI Compliant Embedded Controller
Value: ACPI\ACPI 0001 * ACPI0002
When I re-installed XP again, I went to Device Manager/Batteries/Microsoft SMART Battery, the entry for Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem has "ACPI\ACPI0002\6&28CA2229&0".
Notice the "ACPI0002" info given for the 'unknown device' in VISTA is the same info given for the "Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem" in Windows XP. So I am left wondering if the unkown device under VISTA is the Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem and if so, why did VISTA not install the driver for it?
Can anyone help with find a driver for the "unknown device" in VISTA?
Regards
Brave

Hi
The unknown device appears because the driver is missing.
Unfortunately, at this time you will not find any Toshiba supported drivers for the Windows Beta2. This is a beta version and not official on the market.
I think if this OS will be official supported so you will also find the needed drivers.

Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

Fix for "Unknown Device" when the iPod is connected

After a few long nights, a few headaches, hours and hours of reading, thinking and many toasted sandwiches, I finally found the problem to my iPod not loading. Putting together information I had read here and at many other sites I had a brainwave... and sure enough it worked. I figure this may be helpful to many other iPod users, so... here I am posting my solution. Note though, this wont help all users, but I know I wasnt alone with this issue, and this just might help someone.
Ill list the issue I was having (this may help other people identify their issue to mine) was that the iPod failed to work on windows, and threw a fit when plugged in. Windows did too, iTunes would lock up and the iPod software failed to recognise that an iPod was connected. The iPod had worked on an older PCs before, but it failed to work on my new homebuilt PC. When I first connected the iPod it began to work, transferring and updating.. but then it unexpectedly disconnected the iPod.. and mentioned something to do with an I/O error, the iPod had to be disconnected and it also mentioned something to do with a timeout error and dataloss (or as it put it Data has been destroyed. Thats always a pleasant message to read). Suddenly, half the music on my iPod wouldn't play, it skipped songs until it found a song it would play... really annoying. I tried to format the iPod using the iPod software... buuut it told me that it wasnt an iPod that was connected (Funny that... lol). After the first iPod crash, it would react differently when connected. It would once again pop up with the Found new hardware bubble, Apple iPod..., Disk Drive... ... then iTunes loads... then iTunes freezes... then the iPod disconnects 2 mins later, then iTunes unfreezes. THEN the next time the iPod is connected, it would say it was an Unknown device, and that it has Malfunctioned.
It seems that, oddly enough, my iPod (I own the 30gig iPod Photo) does not like USB 2.0... Im thinking that it must not support some of the device commands the PC is sending to it... Weird though, because on other USB 2.0 PCs it worked fine. (I got the best results out of Dell PCs...). IF USB 2.0 is disabled and slows to USB 1.1 the iPod works a charm... jumped up without an issue in the world. To disable USB 2.0, jump into BIOS as your pc is in its POST stages... this being, when the PC is first turned on and presents a message such as Press DEL to enter setup (or something similar), do so. Then refer to your manual on how to disable USB 2.0, if possible. Apply the changes and reboot. Be sure not to mess around with other settings, it is very easy to mess up your computer if you change settings you are not familiar with.
Other solutions would be to run the iPod via Firewire... if you can get a cable. Run along to your local mac store and see if they have one in stock. Ill get back on here to post if using Firewire solved the issue later.
Perhaps a motherboard BIOS upgrade, or newer drivers could resolve the issue. This may explain to some people why their iPod stopped working overnight after working fine for so long, maybe an update of the sort was installed. Apparently my motherboard already has an update, so Ill test that sometime and post my results as I investigate further, but as for now Im just happy my iPod is working, even if it is taking ages to transfer (25 gigs of music takes awhile over USB 1.1 lol...).
Also, I might add that my motherboard is an ASUS P5P800 with the Intel 865PE chipset. It could be an interesting pattern seeing which motherboards do not seem to be compatible with the iPod at USB 2.0 speeds.
As long as this post was I hope that someone gets some use out of it. Ill post further findings as I investigate this matter further.
Happy iPodding!

hi Jazza!
the best explanation for this that i've seen is that there can be power drain problems in USB 2.0. drop below 500 mA running through the port and everything goes to pot. this may well explain why switching back to USB 1.1 sometimes works like a charm, and also explains why it's important to have the ipod plugged into a high powered USB port rather than a low power port.
i've seen a confirmed case of a USB connection going west after a scanner got plugged into the beast in question ... periodically i see other reports along these lines, too.

Unknown device - ipod nano fine - problem with windows xp and usb root hub

Greetings all. I've seen this question come up over and over again and have been working on it following previous posts and posts on microsoft and hp sites for a couple of days now.
First off - the ipod nano is fine. Works on my son's computer well.
When I plug it into my 6 months new HP Pavilion laptop it says: 'found new hardware' and goes through the process of installing it, says it's been installed, but then shows 'unknown device'. In Device Manager it tells me there are no drivers installed, but when I try to follow the other instructions on this forum to update the drive to USB mass storage device (usbstor.inf), it tells me the best driver is installed and won't do it.
Many seem to have this problem with devices other than the iPod on Windows service pack 2 so I went to the Microsoft forums and they seem just as puzzled. I've updated all my Windows & HP software to the latest possible versions. The problem is definitely in the USB. Once, when I uninstalled the USB device and then rebooted the computer with my iPod still plugged into the port, it found my iPod, correctly identified it, and for a blissful moment I thought everything was fine! Then it reinstalled the USB drivers and made a comment to the effect that I should move the iPod to a USB 2.0 port for more effective operation and the iPod disappeared again.
I have 3 USB ports on my laptop, all are USB 2.0 and all 3 have the same problem.
I've tried all the stuff people have already said on here...does anyone have any NEW ideas? I'm hesitant to take it in for service because it seems to be a software problem that should be fixable.
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry about the long post.

This isn't a solution, but it's something I just tried and it may provide someone additional clues about's going on. I too think this is some sort of USB problem.
I have 6 USB ports. Two of them are USB 2.0. Since I applied the 03-23 update my computer hasn't recognized my nano at all. I would connect my nano and I couldn't get it to show up in My Computer, in iTunes, or on the far right side of the Start taskbar.
I just tried plugging my nano into the first USB port of my USB 2.0 pair and left the second 2.0 port empty. I then rebooted with the nano attached. Viola - I get a "Found New Hardware Apple iPod USB Device" message. My nano is now flashing "Do Not Disconnect." A small removeable storage icon with green arrow now shows on the far right side of the Start taskbar. If I click on it (like you're going to eject it) the note displayed says "Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device - Drive (F:)".
If I go into My Computer, "Removeable Disk (F:)" now shows there. However, if I try to follow Trevor's instructions in another post to "go into My Computer with iPod connected, right click it, wait till the right click menu comes up (could take a few minutes); click Format, . . ." I'm stuck. I do the right click, watch the hour glass and wait for the Format menu to come up but it never does. Eventually the hour glass just goes away. No message, no Format menu. The waiting hour glass just goes away.
My computer isn't as new as yours, but like you I am completely current on maintenance.
I'm going to keep trying . . . If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Ipod Touch not being recognised/unknown device

Ipod Touch not being recognised - help!?
It says it's a code 43 - Unknown device/device not recognised. Doesn't sound good.
Tried all of the things the itunes website suggested such as of course turning it off and on again, restarting services, reinstalling itunes. I know from experience that when you take it in to the shop they want to charge you almost as much as you bought it for to fix a minor problem. Thanks

Hi,
Reinstalling iTunes *will not* erase your music library.
As a matter of course I do, and in fact Apple recommend that you back up your music library, there is an option to do this under "File" in iTunes. It is really quite sensible to have your purchased and other music files saved elsewhere as well as on your main hard drive, it can save a lot of time and hassle.
Good luck,
Dud.
