Iphone isn't being recognised by in Itunes on Windows 7

Hi
Im using a Toshiba L500 laptop with windows 7 that was preinstalled. I transfered all my Itunes files and other files over from old Toshiba Laptop to this one and found that when I plug in my Iphone into Itunes after re-installing everything Itunes doesn't recognise the Iphone. I have just about tried every support article and step on the issue and in the process discovered my laptoo was missing USBAPPL.sys and that my laptop doesn't come up with USB Mass Storage Device rather than Composite Device. I located USBAPPL.sys on the internet and downloaded it and moved it to my driver folder but with no luck. I also re-started my computer after I did this. I'm really at my wits end as I have no clue what could be causing the problem and I do have a built in webcam which I though I read can affect the process. I have read numerous forum posts with the same problem but are perplexed as to whether the lack driver that I mentioned could be the problem. I apologise if this post is a bit hard to understand due to lack of sleep trying to figure this problem out

Problem solved, it was coming up as a camera which i didn't remember in my last post and have deleted any photo's not taken by my iphone and unistalled the driver and than reinstalled it with success

Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

Hi all,
This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
So give it a try.

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not appearing in iTunes

I've tried majority of the troubleshooting methods, but my iPod still isn't being recognised! Please help me !

My iPod 5th gen, isnt being recognised in both itunes and my computer, even if i put it in disk mode. Even when I go to device/disk manager, it isnt shown. Please help me!

If you have already tried all the troubleshooting suggestions (which you did not list), suggest that you take the iPod Nano to your nearest Apple Store or AASP. If you have AppleCare, call them for assistance.
Otherwise, please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.

My iphone is described as iPhone 4s on the back, but the model number on the back is A1332. IThe device cannot be recognised on by itunes for windows. any suggestions?

Any chance someone had it repaired somewhere (i.e. not by Apple) - maybe had the back glass replaced by a 3rd party shop at sometime?
Dose the phone have siri (iPhone 4 would not)? Does the camera have face recognition and panoramo (again, iPhone 4 would not)?
If everything else checks out as iPhone 4s, then I'd guess the back glass was damaged and someone got it replaced.
In order to get it recognized by iTunes, you may need to plug it in and force it into recovery mode, see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and then restore it as a new device.

Possible fix if your iPhone 3G isn't being recognised by iTunes!

Hi all,
I was having this problem, my iPhone was being recognised by Windows XP as a camera but would not show up in the left hand column in iTunes. After going through all the tutorials, checking services and drivers, I decided to *turn WiFi off* and try again. Bingo. It sync'd first time and I have tested this method and it works everytime. Seems being connected to a wireless home network interferes with iTunes or something like that.
Give it a try and let me know how you all go!

You're in luck because i just ran into this issue and fixed it.
For some silly reason your apple iphone device driver gets moved under device manager and itunes can't see your phone as a result.
To fix the issue:
on your keyboard: windows key + pause/break key. Then select Device Manager on the left of the window.
If you expand Universal Serial Bus controllers you will likely not see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" listed.
You'll have to do some poking around, because it will be under one of the other headers... found mine under "Portable Devices", but yours could literally be under any of them.
Once you find "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", right-click and select uninstall. Follow prompts to uninstall.
Then right-click "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and select scan for hardware changes. Your PC will then install it to the proper location and iTunes will be able to see your iphone and sync.
Dunno why it does this, but it does.
Hope that helps,
Cheers!

Iphone 3gs isnt being recognised by itunes and screen just frozen

Please help dont know what to do?????

Does this work?
+Plug in your iPhone.+
+Power it down by holding the sleep/lock button and sliding to power off.+
+Once it’s powered down, press and hold both the sleep/lock button and the home button for ten seconds.+
+After 10 seconds, release the power button but continue holding down the home button.+
+If you did it right, iTunes will pop up a window (like the one below) telling you that it’s detected an iPhone in recovery mode and your iPhone’s screen will be black. If it didn’t work, start from the beginning and try again.+

Iphone is not being recognised on itunes to sync?

Hi, I have connected my iphone to my computer but it is not being recognised on itunes?can u help?

I just replaced my 3GS with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and the new phone will not sync with iTunes. It pops up with the following error message whenever I hook it up:
"The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
I just got this phone from AT&T, and there are no updates available for either my computer or my phone, so they have to have the newest iTunes.
Also, whenever I plug it in, the new phone does not appear under the "devices" tab on the left like my old one does.
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

My ipod has frozen and isn't being recognised by itunes

Recently, my iPod has been having troubles. It's been freezing in the middle of songs and when I try to change track, and, up till today, it's recovered. It's now been frozen for three hours. I restored the factory settings a couple of days ago, and it workeds, but only for a few hours.
This morning, it froze in the middle of the song, and it's now not being recognised by iTunes. I've tried to do a hard reset, but it's not responding at all.
It's an iPod Classic 30GB, and I think it's a 5th Generation. I got it second hand, and so I don't think I can take it and get it fixed and whatnot without paying money. Is it worth getting a new iPod? There is an Apple store near me, so I can take it in and see what they say, but as I said, it's second hand and it's past the warrenty.

Charge the iPod for at least 2 hours
Do the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center Button simultaneously for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons
Refer to this Apple Support article on the 5Rs.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If you plan to get a new iPod, get the iPod Touch and avoid at all cost the iPod Classic, the new generation of HD in the iPod Classic appear to be not very sturdy and reliable, in my Opinion, yours is still more sturdy, (6 years old), but the battery and hardisk would be in the last lap. The full charge battery should last at least 20 hours of continuos music.
You can do the iPod Disk diagnostic to see the HD health, as posted by tt2.

Don't worry about the Mac user, the DD process refer only to iPod Classic.
Have a nice day!

Iphone is not being recognised in itunes

Hi there! My phone has stopped being recognised in itunes, I've done everything recommended by Support, has anyone any ideas please....
Thanx

Have you tried using a different USB cable. Also, be sure you are not connecting the device to a USB hub, connect it straight to the computer.

My iPhone isn't being detected by iTunes

I connected my iPhone 4 to my laptop and it has charging (so no issues there) but iTunes doesn't show that it's connected. I have done it countless times before, is there any reason it wouldn't be working now?

Hello annette-paul,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
Have a nice day,

My iphone isn't being recognized by itunes and is stuck on the itunes/plug symbol on the screen.

I got an error from an update and now my iphone 4 doesn't show up on itunes as a device. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the most recent version of itunes downloaded.

Quit iTunes.
Disconnect your iPhone from your PC.
Go to Control Panel.
List installed software and remove the driver software for the iPhone. It's named something like "Driver or Device, Apple iPhone".
Restart Windows 7.
Connect your iPhone, make sure it the screen is not locked.
Windows should automatically re-install the driver software for the iPhone now.
If it has done that, start iTunes.
iTunes should now detect your iPhone again.
Kind regards,
