IPhone not recognized in iTunes for Windows Vista

So, I have the iPhone 4 and I have only synced it once in iTunes about 2-3 months ago. I went to sync it again and now iTunes won't recognize it as a device. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and restarted my computer, checked my USB ports and my phone is fully charged and it still won't work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!!

RogerioNT,
Which USB port are you connecting it to?
iPhoto will transfer over a USB 1.1 connection, and many hubs are USB 1.1. Try connecting the iPhone directly to the back of the computer.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Hi,
    My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi AmberX92,
    If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

    Both my ipad and iPhone are not recognized in iTunes for Windows 8.1.
    Both are seen by windows explorer but not iTunes.
    iTunes wi-fi sync does not work either.
    I reinstalled iTunes and it still doesn't work.

  • IOS5 Update causes Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I did an iPad1 IOS5 update and on the reboot could not get iTunes to recognize my iPad.
    I did all the recommended troubleshooting to no avail. So I called this morning and while on hold I put my password back on my device just as before and BAM iTunes now recognizes device and is doing my restore.
    So if you do a backup of your device before the update and you have it password protected, it won't recognize the device until you go through and setup a new device and put your password back to what is was before, then BAM you're good! Good Luck and hopefully you won't have to spend the day I did figuring this out.

  • My iphone is not recognized in itunes for windows

    I have followed the directions from apple support.  Uninstalled & reinstalled itunes, everything the page said to do & my phone isn't recognized in iTunes and it comes up as unkown device in windows.  Any suggestions?

    If you went through items 1-6 at the bottom of the article and they didn't help then try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components by following this article exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 (removing all components in the order specified).  (I know you mentioned that you uninstalled iTunes but I wasn't sure if you followed this article or not.  If not, try it again following this article.)

  • IPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes on Window Vista

    I have a laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium and I just can't get my ipod touch recognized by iTunes on this laptop, nevertheless it does recognize my iPod Nano 3rd gen. iTunes version is 7.7.0.43
    If I connect the iPod Touch on another laptop with Windows XP and same iTunes version it is recognized and sync.
    Is there any patch that I have to download?

    OK the Diagnostics helped me to solved the problem. Thanks.
    The problem was that the AppleMobileDevice was not working, so I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to get back the AppleMobileDevice.exe but then I started to have the following problem:
    On opening iTunes the message "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" repeatedly appears
    I fixed it following this discussion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=640
    Run AppleMobileDeviceHelper as an administrator.
    1. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin folder.
    2. Right-click AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
    3. Click the Compatibilitiy tab.
    4. Enable the checkbox "Run this program as an administrator".
    5. Click Apply.
    Thank you for your time. =D

  • IPod Touch will NOT sync in iTunes for Windows Vista

    I get this error message. "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Well, I did that, then I reinstalled iTunes. The AMDS didn't reinstall with the iTunes software! Instead, it kept rolling back again and again. I uninstalled iTunes again, made sure everything was deleted with Windows Install Clean Up, then tried to install iTunes 8.1. Well, this installed AMDS, but it also installed iTunes 8.2 instead - and I am getting the same error message again. Is my iPod touch completely useless now? I can't update the songs on my computer to it, so what am I supposed to do? My computer is recognizing it and saying it connected and allowing me to open it, but it will not appear in iTunes. HELP!

    IS NO ONE FROM APPLE WILLING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE? This problem is being discussed all over the internet. Something is WRONG with iTunes 8.2 that is PROHIBITING iPod Touch devices to sync with it. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I have been unable to contact ANYONE about the issue, and a support person literally hung up on me while I was explaining my problem, like he knew what was happening. WHAT DO I DO? I have a non-updated iPod Touch that is just being WASTED because I can't sync it with the newest version of iTunes. APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

  • IPhone 4 not recognized in iTunes for Windows 8.1

    I am using Windows 8.1 and the computer recognizes the device but not iTunes. I have tried deleting and re-installing iTunes as well as the device manager, but neither solution has fixed my problem. Any help is appreciated!

    To Helpware, THANK YOU for keeping me from throwing out my Iphone and buying something else!
    I can confirm that this also works on the Iphone 3GS with Windows 8.1.
    Note: just uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes did NOT work for me. As this answer says, you need to unistall the Apple Device Driver too.
    Thank you again!

  • TS1538 My iPhone 5s is not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Last night I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and since that time I have been unable to sync my phone with my HP computer.  I have tried all suggestions in the help section and it still will not sync.  What should I do next?

    I had the same problem ,  Just remove itunes and related components from the control panel. it worked for me.
    I got that information from apple support.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
