Iphone and windows 8 does not work together

Can't sync iphone 3GS or 4 with windows 8. Anybody have a solution for this?

Helo there mark44o,
It sounds like you are having some difficulty getting your phones synced to your PC with Windows 8 on it. If you are syncing in the manner outlined in the following article, would you mind ellaborating on what is happening when you try to sync?
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes

Is there some sort of error message? Does iTunes hang? Is it even seen in iTunes?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Hi am having problem syncing my iphone 3GS to my pc. It keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 and run for hours and not sync. I have restarted my pc many times plugged and unplugged my iphone and it does not work at all.

I have been having trouble syncing my iphone after updating version 10. Satus keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 forever on my pc. I have tried re plugging and restarting my pc but none work so far. I have not been able to sync my iphone since. Help!? Pls

Thanks for the stellar reply gdgmacguy. I had no idea the AppleID used to purchase the device was forever tied to it. Great to know.
May I add another layer of complexity to the issue? I plan on buying her the iPhone 4S for Christmas. Assumed all I would have to do is sync the new phone to iTunes on her pc and all her data/apps/music/pictures would transfer over.
Can I use her new account when I sync the 4S for the first time or will it prompt me for mine?
Thanks again.

I tried to update my photo albums in my Iphone 4S. I could not, and the old photos were removed. I tried again to copy the albums in the Iphone from a PC Windows XP folder and it does not work.

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users. Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized. Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
Hope this helps

You are installing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver, which I did not have to do previously, so something in the updates has been left out / or changed.

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

Do you have a question for fellow iphone users?

IPhone 4s: Slide wifi is not selectable. Always gray and wifi does not work!

Help me!

You most likely have a failure of the WiFi chip.
Restore the phone as a new device. If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you are not within the warranty period, expect to pay $199 for out of warranty replacement.

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!
