Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

IPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 Bit

Hi there,
i got a Problem with my iphone 4 and my os windows 7 porfessional 64 bit.
Last week my pc crashed and after 12 hours to find the problem (it was the memory... bloody things) i have allready deleted everything and partitioned the hd new.
So after rescuring my pc and installing everything i downloaded the newest version of itunes64 and installed it and tried to connect my iphone. the first thing i mentioned when i plug in my iphone was that windows can´t find drivers but my iphone was found in itunes. i can´t sync music or manual put it on the iphone but i could sync my apps
in the device manager the iphone is mentioned as iphone but under "other devices" and i can´t get it in the explorer. so i can´t get the pictures from my iphone
So after a few hours and tring asking the crystalball called google
( allready tried extracting the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi out of itunes64 installer and tried to direkt the driver to that folder but windows can´t find any driver in there)
i´m running out of options. So the last thing i will try is this community.

Okay, I'll tackle the drivers issue first. If it doesn't want to load the drivers, you will need to uninstall iTunes completely and then reinstall it. You need to follow the instructions in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
After reinstalling it, start iTunes and then reconnect the iPhone. It should install the drivers from there.
As far as pictures, the only photos that will show up in Explorer are ones in the camera roll. If you are talking about wanting to get the photos that you had originally synced from the computer to the iPhone, you will have to look into 3rd party software to get that. Touchcopy works on the Windows systems.
Another question. When you look in Device Manager, do you see any errors, red x's or the yellow exclamation points?

Is it possible to syncronize iphone contacts and windows 8 app PEOPLE?

I can't syncornize the iphone contacts with the app PEOPLE in windows 8. That app contains the contact that I can see in the APP MAIL.
Well, I can syncronize iphone contacts with gmail or windows contacts.
If I use the gmail way I can link a microsoft account to gmai land syncornize it with the app people. Ther e is a problem, The syncronization between the app and the microsoft account works well, but the syncronization between gmail and Microsoft account (outlook.com) doesn't work.
If I use the windows contact way I can't syncronize tose contact with those of the app PEOPLE.
Is there anyone who can help me?
thanks a lot

IPhone 4 and Windows XP

Hello all,
My family and I recently all purchased iPhone 4s and my parents are experiencing problems with their computer. My parents use Windows XP where as I have been using Mac OS X since 10.4. The problem that was experienced is that after my father synced his phone the computer started to run slow. We waited and restarted the computer, because it was impossible to do anything, before syncing my mother's phone. After starting to sync my mother's phone, the computer froze and was non responsive from all forms of input. Once it managed to restart it would freeze in the boot sequence. Without my knowledge, my father decided to try and fix the problem himself and now the only thing the computer will do is display a black screen with the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". After inserting the disk, it will go to the Windows XP Professional Setup page and try to guide us through the setup or repair of the OS. My father named the drive h: instead of c: so it will not respond to any of the commands that I know how to use to try and recover the OS and now the system states that the there are unknown disk <there is no disk in this drive>.
With the background being out of the way; what needs to be done to recover their previous install of Windows XP? If I go through and install, will it erase all of their data? Please help!
I will also try to find another appropriate section to post this under, but this was the first I could think of seeing as how the problem started when we synced their iPhone 4s
Thanks for any answers!

This Windows OS issue doesn't really seem like its related to the iPhone or iTunes. You can find some general tips here, but you may want to check the Microsoft support site or contact the PC manufacturer.
Try restarting the PC after removing any CDs or floppy disks from it.

Video Editing for Iphone 3GS and Windows

While not really a question about the IPhone itself, I was wondering if anyone knew a system for editing the videos you get from your iphone. I have a PC and Windows Movie Maker but the videos from my phone are not compatible with WMM. I would like to know another FREE movie making system for Windows so I can edit the videos I take on my IPhone.

You can use a video conversion program to convert the video into a format to use with Windows Movie Maker. Just google for that and you will find many, both free and paid. One that comes to mind is Zamzar which is free. Once converted just import into Movie Maker and edit.

TS4006 "Find My iPhone" app and Windows

With the "Find My iPhone" app installed on an iPhone, can a Windows computer that has iCloud/iTunes be used to find the lost iPhone? Don't have access to another iPhone/iPad/Mac. There should at least be a web-based interface. Thanks.

There is. Click here and sign in.

ITunes 10.2 upgrade, iPhone 3g, and Windows XP sync problems

I, too, upgraded to iTunes 10.2. I have an iPhone 3g and use Windows XP. When I tried to sync, all of my music on my iPhone was wiped out and the sync just “hung up”. My computer's task manager reported that iTunes was “not responding” so I had to close iTunes and stop the sync. This has happened over and over. However, sync was working just fine until it tried to sync my music and ringtones. My calendars and contacts and photos was not affected my this glitch. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes without any success. Help! Any suggestions? Can I “downgrade” back to a release that works???

Hi,
Disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall on your PC. Then try syncing.

Iphone 3GS and Windows 7 x86

Hi Guys
Hoping someone can help!
I have an iphone 3GS and using Windows 7 as my O/S. Everytime i connect the device it doesnt show up in 'my computer' and shows in device manager with a yellow explanation mark!!
To get the device to show as a portable device in my computer, i have to force the MTP USB Driver to install and then the device shows up again.
I dont have to do this for it to show in iTunes. iTunes displays the iphone without any issues and even if i dont install the MTP driver.
As far as i am aware, i didnt know the Apple iphone relies on Microsofts own device driver - i thought apple have there own!?
I Would like a work around where i dont need to keep manaully installing the MTP driver as i have pictures in the phone that i can easily export through Windows.
Please help
Thanks

i have the latest version of itunes. Downloaded straight from itunes after a fresh install of windows.
I even thought the itunes folder was corrupted and would somehow have an effect when loading the iphone. So i renamed the itunes folder to itunes_OLD and then re-install itunes with a fresh itunes database structure but still wouldnt work.
Went into device manager and tried forcing an install of driver from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers but nothing!!
I seriously dont know what to do with this. It was fine when working within Vista!
There has to be something relating to the 3GS and Windows 7 as my iPhone 3G works fine with no problems on the same machine
Could it be the fact that the 3GS looks at something else with it being a video device too?!?

After updating to OSX 10.9.4, WiFi connection keeps getting dropped. This happened on 3 Macs, but my iPhone, iPad, and Windows computer all connect to WiFi just fine.

I recently updated three Macs to Mavericks OS 10.9.4. All three Macs now cannot stay connected to WiFi.
Other devices (iOS and Windows) have no such problem, so it isn't the WiFi itself.
It seems to be OS X 10.9.4 which is the problem.
10.9.3 did not have this problem either.

IPhone, iCal and Windows

I'm working with a team of people who have PC's and iPhones. And, they currently sync/charge/etc. their iPhones to their PC's.
I want to share some of my Mac calendars (iCal) with them so that these events appear in their iPhone. How can I get my iCal information onto their iPhones if they don't have Calendar on a Mac to sync with?
Does iPhone allow you to subscribe directly to an iCal?
Any ideas?
Russ

You might want to publish your calendar then have them to subscribe to it.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support web site that might help out.

IPhone 5s and Windows iTunes

Long story short, my iPhone 5s (has the newest update) died, I plugged it in and when it came back on all my fingerprints were gone so I went to redo them and it asks for my print and then half a second later says it failed and to try again and always goes through that loop. It started acting slow, sometimes the screen wasn't responsive, I decided to restart it and then it got stuck on the Apple logo so I decided to put it into recovery mode so I can restore it from a backup file on my computer. Well now it says it can't restore it so I figured I'd update iTunes and see if it works since I've been neglecting to do that for a while now. Now I get a message saying that it didn't install properly. I download the itunes .exe file off of the Apple website and select the repair option to fix/replace any damaged files. Then it says it was installed successfully and then immediately after I get a message saying "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127). I have repaired the files 3 times and I get the same error message every time. So now I have a phone telling me to connect to iTunes and now my **** iTunes doesn't work so what the **** am I supposed to do now?

Try downloading IOS 8.0.2 from this website http://gdeluxe.com/ios-8-download-links/ once you have it installed plug your iPhone into iTunes. Hold the Shift Key and click check for updates. You should get a window that pops up find your IOS 8.0.2 download and double click on it. Then do the update. See if that works for you

TS1538 iPhone 5 and Windows 7 device driver not being recognized

I've de-installed in the correct order and re-installed all Apple software for Windows 7 x64 box.
I've manually added paths to the device driver.
I've re-scanned device manager.
I've gone through 4 different kbb articles.
Used 4 different USB ports on the Front Panel of this box.
I've restarted, stopped, started the Apple Mobile Device Service.
I've rebooted 15x, my Alienware R3 laptop works just fine.
I can see the iPhone 5 in iTunes, and this problem has been occurring with my iPhone 4.
Devices and Printers lists the iPhone and Apple Mobile Device USB driver without any conflicts on the exterior.
If you go into properties boom Unvailable. I've turned off every shield in Avast. I only have 1 A/V.
What else can I do?
The rig is a custom built i7 3770s, MSI motherboard, 16gb DDR 3 RAM, USB 3 support etc. I've tried everything... why won't my iPhone get recognized? I seriously do not want to wipe the box for a device driver. Does RDP software create conflicts with USB devices? I have a couple installed.

Hi Allan,
I am using 11.0.4.4 version of iTunes.
