IPhone cannot sync with Windows 7

Hi, I am unable to sync my iPhone (OS 4.3.3) can't be paired with my laptop (Windows 7). I have reinstalled my iTunes and restart my laptop but it still did not work. My power button is not working hence I am unable to restart my iPhone. Does any one know how to solve this? I can't click restore to factory setting as my files are not backed up.
The error message that I received is as such:
iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore the iPhone to factory setting.
Thanks alot!!

Sorry-that was rubbish. the Iphine shows up as a device and also charges but when I open Itunes the option to sync is greyed out and when I use the diagnostic tool it says no device found. I have upgraded to the latest Itunes but still no joy.
Thanks

Cannot sync with Windows Vista and BB 7105t

I was using Windows XP and everything worked great. Now I have Vista and cannot sync. I open the BB Desktop Manager and it says my device is disconnected. I am plugged in to a USB port, tried two different ones and makes no difference. Thus when I go to Synchronize, the Sync or Configure PIM are not available. Also when I just plug into my computer to charge, I get a message "USB charge current is not suffigient. . . . " However, it does charge, just a little more slowly than with my XP computer. Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Here is what you need to do.
Use this procedure to cleanly uninstall the DM you have loaded:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Go to here and download Desptop software 4.2.2 without Media manager;
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Cold boot the PC after de-install and :
Install with these Vista condierations:
1. Right-Click on Command Prompt in Start Menu and choose Run as Administrator
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry\IS71 Connectors\MS Outlook Connector by typing: c:\> cd program files\research in motion\blackberry\is71 connectors\ms outlook connector
3. Then type in the command prompt, type: regsvr32 MsOutlookConnector.fil
4. If the registration is successful, the following message displays:
DllRegisterSErver in msoutlookconnector.fil succeeded.
5. Close and open Blackberry Desktop Manager to perform the synchronization process again and Outlook will be in the list...
If you receive the error message DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005 - you do not have admin rights. So, it's important that you run command prompt as admin.

Now go to your carriers blackberry software site, get the correct device OS and make sure the app loaded can find it.
Configure the DM and try to sync.

Cannot sync with windows vista pc ?

Tried all tips in help sections but still cannot sync !

Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
1) Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
2) Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
The bat file should contain these lines:
net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
net start "Apple Mobile Device"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
Happy syncing!

IPod Mini cannot Sync with Windows XP

I have a Dimension 4550 (Dell) running with Windows XP w/SP2. In the past when we purchased our iPod Mini, all things ran well. We had a system crash, and when attempting to load back we noted that iTunes now (ver 7+)requires a 500 Mhz; and ours is a 256Mhz. Therefore, I load on from a website an older version of iTunes (ver 4.9)
iTunes loaded on fine, but when we attempt to sync the iPod Mini we get the following message:
The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
I do not want to load the new Version, becuase it will not install on our machine due to the MHz matters discussed above. However, if anyone has a way to resolve this matter I welcome your comments. Thanks

The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
if you are using an iTunes 4.9, it would also help to have the IPod Updater software installed. here's a link through to that:

Best calendar for iphone 5 sync with Windows vista ?

I use windows vista at home/work. I need a new calendar/software ( eg Outlook ), and am considering purchasing the iphone5 as well.
Which software do you recommend for windows vista that will easily sync back and forth with the iphone 5 ?

If all this changed after you had to change the password to access your server, then perhaps you are mistyping the password.

Iphone cannot sync with itunes

I have an iphone 4s. I suddenly have a message saying it cannot connect because it needs itunes version 11 or higher. When I tried to install this I got the message that my Mac Mini OS needs a later version to be able to install this itunes version. However, SW Updates for my MAC OS says that I am on the latest version 10.5.8. What do I do?

Everything was working fine on my system. Windows 7 x64, iTunes 9.0.3 but iTunes started slowing down recently. Other than iTunes updating itself to 9.1 nothing else has changed on the PC. Today I started getting the "unable to load dataclass" error and I have been trying all day to resolve the issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled every bit of apple software including all the data in my user folder. I've gone through all the forums about removing/reinstalling/stopping/starting mobile device support. I even uninstalled all antivirus (Symantec Endpoint, Latest Release) and disabled Windows Firewall. Nothing has changed the situation

IPad 2 cannot sync with Windows 7 machine but can sync with Mac Book Pro

I connected the iPad to my Windows 7 machine straight out of the box and tried to register it for the first time. It showed up in the device list for the first 3 minutes and then disappeared altogether. Thinking this is just some small error, I started troubleshooting using this guide http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
after doing that 4-5 times, I still had not found a solution to the problem. I made sure that my computer had the Apple Mobile Device Drivers installed in it. After all my iPod can easily connect to iTunes, but not the iPad. There isn't a problem with the usb cable because I used the same cable on the iPod and it worked like a charm. The iPad gets recognized in the Device Manager as an Apple Product, but does not show up in iTunes at all. This problem has frustrated me quite alot. I also tried to use my friend's Windows 7 machine, but to no avail. It did not connect to his computer either. Finally as a last resort, I tried to connect it to a another friend's Mac Book Pro [iOS Snow Leopard], and like clockwork, it connected and showed up in his iTunes. This is what surprised and outraged me the most. After spending 5-6 hrs troubleshooting the connections on my Windows 7 machine, uninstalling and reinstalling applications, drivers and finally the OS itself, this iPad connects seemlessly to a Mac Book within 1 minute. I could synchronize data, songs and the like on the Mac Book, but I can't even get this iPad to show itself on a Windows 7 machine. I am truly at my wit's end with this problem. Could anyone please help me with it? I would surely be grateful.

Here is my statdard reply, most of which you have already done. You may wish to try the others!
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S? I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

Got new Iphone and labtop with Windows 7.
Now can only find the old purchased music via old phone in Purchase History.
How can I get the purchased files into Music list in Itunes, in order to sync with new Iphone ?

Go to the iTunes app on your iPhone. On the bottom tap Purchased. Once that loads, choose the Artist you just downloaded, then the album, then click the cloud icon. This will download the music to your iPhone and will not charge you for it.
