Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?
This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.

IPhone 4 does not show in iTunes on Windows
Complicated one here for everyone, I got my sister a Windows XP Pro on a Dell laptop (here in refered to as Dell) for Christmas. She wants to use Dell to sync her iPhone 4 running 4.2.8 but when she plugs it in it is only detected as an image device, but not in iTunes. Here are some details about what has been done so far.
Computers in use and short names:
my computer: MacBook Pro X.7.3.11D36 Dev (Macbook)
iTunes 10.5.2 (MacTunes)
attached to my itunes account
running as admin
her computer: Windows XP Pro on Dell (Dell)
Started with iTunes 10.4.? updated to:
iTunes 10.5.1 (downloaded this evening)(DellTunes)
attached to sister's itunes account
running as admin
When given to sister, could not import itunes libary from old windows xp computer to this one, so libary is fresh, music from the old itunes music folder
family computer: iMac X.7.3.? (FamilyMac)
iTunes 10.5.? (familyTunes)
attached to sister's itunes account
running as limited w/parental controls
Device info and short names:
her cell: iPhone 4 Verizon running 4.2.8 (here in called 4)initiallized and formated from FamilyMac
my current cell: iPhone 4s Verizon running 5.0.1 (4s)initilized and formated on Macbook
my old cell: iPhone 3g ATT running 4.2.1 or 2 (3g)initilized and formated on Macbook
Who works where:
4,4s,3g all initialized and last synced on FamilyMac, Macbook, Macbook respectivly
4,4s,3g all detect as normal on MacTunes
4,4s do NOT detect as normal on DellTunesDoes appear as an image device on Dell. software built into XP, much like image capture on Mac
3g DOES detect as and has been backed up to DellTunes
Following attempts have been tried and failed
plugged in 4 into Dell
disabled auto launch of image device software on Dell for 4
replugged in 4
plugged 4 into Macbook, showed up as normally expected
plugged 4s into Dell, does not show in DellTunes, does auto open image device software
downloaded and installed latest iTunes for Windows XP
plugged 4 and 4s into Dell, same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
ran itunes diagnostics, all settings reported fine except for detecting plugged in ipod/iphone
manually disabled and reabled ipod support service as stated in the help document linked to in 8
replugged 4 into Dell, same results as before
set msconfig to all off except for anything itunes related. applyed to both services and startup programs
repeat steps 7-10
plugged 3g into Dell, shows in Delltunes as normally expected
backed up 3g to Delltunes to conferm data would transpher. backup susessful.
removed 3g and replugged 4 into Dell, 4 gave same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
set msconfig to normal mode
replugged 3g into Dell, looked in device manager, shows under image devices and USB devices. Under USB devices shows as Apple moble device
switched to 4, looked again in device manager, only shows under image devices
gave up for the night and posted this
*note many times steps would be repeated a few times under both sister's account and admin's account on Dell, as well as a few reboots.
The confusing part is that the 3g works fine but not 4 or 4s. I would understand if itunes was older than that cellphone version but iTunes is as recent as possible. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong and what would fix it?Follow ALL of the troubleshooting steps in the article from which the question was posted.

Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?
It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed. Sorry.
You do have some options at this point.
If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option. However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

Iphone 3GS does not show as iTunes Device
I've followed all instructions and the troubleshooter and my Iphone 3GS still does not show in Itunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro with Lion installed. Any suggestions?
I tried a different cable and the iphone now shows up so I believe my cable had failed. Hope this is help to others troubleshooting a similar problem.

Ipod 1 Gen does not show in itune when others will
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

i have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.Am i doing something wrong.The ringtones were bought from i tunes.
Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

Buzzing sound when plugging in guitars
I've been getting this buzzing sound when I plug in any electric guitar or bass into my computer's audio input. This used to happen only when I used my telecaster, and I figured it was just the make, but now it's happening with my other electric and to basses to... it also varies in volume depending on the day.
Buzzing and hum can be caused by a lot of things. Your tele was probably getting the buzz from a single coil pickup.
First make sure it's not your guitar cable, it's a long wire just like a antenna and can pickup stray noises from RF and electromagnetic devices.
Bad ground in your guitar or bad solder joint guitar or cable.
Move things around lights, speakers, TVs, computers and just about anything electrical can cause noise. -
iphone 4s is disabled. It says connect to itunes. Itunes ays could not connect because phone is locked with a passcode and to enter passcode on iphone before it can be used with itunes, but I can't enter the passcode because 1) don't know it 2) it's disabled. The device also does not show up in itunes, so how can I restore the phone or unlock it?

IPhone unrecognized in Windows 7 & Mac -- does not show in iTunes
Hey everyone,
Just this week I was able to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes (Windows 7), but for some reason it is now completley unrecognized. I've already done the basics -- reset my phone, restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes and have even attempted to reconfigure msconfig but nothing seems to work. I have also tried to sync it to my brother's MacBook on his iTunes, but again it only charges the phone but does not sync it at all. Apparently after doing some research, a common problem is to disable my wi-fi connection on my laptop and then attempt to sync it, but that doesn't work either. When I run iTunes Diagnostics, everything seems to be fine except the fact that iTunes cannot find the phone and sync it. My phone also used to show in My Computer but no longer does that.
Any idea why my iPhone now cannot be found by Windows? I know it's not my USB ports, because I am using an external mic and mouse and have even tried switching to all USB ports. My drivers are up to date. As you can see I've virtually done (what seems like) everything to sync my phone but I just can't fix this issue. I'm thinking it's an issue with the iPhone itself as it does not sync to anything.
Please help!Shameless bump. Someone please help!

IPhone 6 does not show in iTunes when using WiFi
My iPhone 6+ shows up in iTunes when connected via USB. But if I disconnect the cable and turn off iTunes and then come back later it does not show up like my iPhone 5 did using OS 7.
I have the option selected in iTunes to "automatically connect using WiFi".
I have tried turning off my phone and restarting iTunes but it does not help.
Any suggestions?Greetings Paul,
It sounds as though you are attempting to sync with iTunes via WiFi, and are running into some complications. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes WiFi sync:
Sync using Wi-Fi
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
While the iOS device is in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, please try these steps.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
