  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes after update

    I recently downloaded & installed the latest update for iTunes and it actually removed iTunes and put and extra (& useless) shortcut for quicktime in my desktop. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes and quicktime with nor problem. I hooked up the iPhone and downlaoded the latest update for it as well and it crashed during the installation of it. I have since had to reboot on my roomates pc and it will not be come up in iTunes. My computer still recognizes it though. I have gone through all the steps in apples site and microsoft and have no clue what to do now. I use this thing all day every day and need the music and video capablities for "work" purposes. If anyone can help, thanks.

    Symptoms:
    iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however an iPod will.
    The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else.
    Problem:
    The Apple iPhone Driver has been replaced by a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes.
    SOLUTION:
    From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

  • IPhone not recognized by car HDMI cable

    I have an HDMI cable that plays my iphone in my car as well as charges it.  Ever since the upgrade to iOS 5.1  I get the message that "iPhone does not recognize this." 
    Please help I paid a lot of money and it worked fine until the upgrade.  What can I do??

    Rather than create another "iPhone not recognized by iTunes" thread, I'll add to this one. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB.
    After going through those steps you listed, my Windows XP installation always reverts back to the old Windows Apple iPhone drivers which only sees it as a camera. I've had it set to only pull from the iTunes drivers by specifying "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" in the Hardware Update Wizard. Windows still doesn't like the iTunes drivers stating "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". This location is the same as you noted: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" which contains:
    usbaapl.cat
    usbaapl.inf
    usbaapl.sys
    All dated 7/22/2008.
    My current drivers for the iPhone in my setup are still the MS drivers, version 5.1.2600.0.
    usbscan.sys
    ptpusb.dll
    ptpusd.dll
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • HT1414 iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

    My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1.  My wife's iphone 5 had no issues.  I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports.  Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone.  Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device".  Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side.  My wife's works both ways.  I can't explain it, but there it is.  I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.

  • IPhone not recognized by iTunes any more

    iTunes 9.0.2 on a 2006 iMac 2GHz intel duo running OSX 10.5.8
    iPhone 3Gs 32 gig
    iPod (5th gen)
    3 external hard drives, all the iTunes library stored on a Mybook 1 TB Firewire drive plugged into iMac direct, not via a Firewire hub.
    I plugged my iPhone into the Mac this am, tried to sync the iPhone and got an error message saying that something was wrong with my iTunes.
    Mac then froze.
    Finally got the Mac back up after five attempts (eventually, had to unplug everything, including the mains to the iMac, plug in just the power, keyboard and mouse, press and hold power switch for 5 secs then plug in each extra drive when the Mac came back up).
    Found something seriously wrong with iTunes as it wouldn't open when clicked on (Force Quit reported app frozen).
    Deleted iTunes using AppZap then downloaded iTunes from Apple website.
    iTunes now back up on iMac but can't find any of the music files (even when I carefully repoint the iTunes to the correct location for the iTunes library by iTunes/Preferences/Advanced then Change iTunes Media Folder Location). Each entry in the iTunes library now has a black exclamation mark against it,
    Also, iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in.
    Also, when I plug in my iPod, get the error message "The iPod is synced with anotehr iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
    HELP!
    By the way, I have TIME MACHINE running to a separate and dedicated HD. Can I not just "roll back" my iMac in the same way I could do with a PC, say selecting the iMac when it was last working fine (yesterday evening)??
    Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an answer....

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

  • Lightroom 4.4 not recognizing RAW files from supported cameras

    I started to get problems with Lightroom not recognizing RAW files from my Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras but I thought it was a problem with RC. After downloading some files today in 4.4 without a problem I encountered the same error message (unable to inport listed RAW files) again. The files open fine in Bridge. Any idea what is causing this problem?

    Hi Geoff
    I use a Mac with the latest version of Mountain Lion OS. The image files are being imported from the cards; in the case of the Fuji an SD card inserted in the card reader slot on the Mac and in the case of the Canon a CF flash card in a card reader attached to the Mac.
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • IPad will not sync nor charge

    My ipad will not synch nor charge, apple retailers reset the device but still will not work. Any tips or anyone encountered the same problem
    I have to pay £260 to get it repaired as it has a small bump on the top right hand corner, but i have been told that it will not be fixed but apple will send me a new ipad. will they give me the ipad 2 if i pay that sum

    Many USB ports simply do not put out enough current to charge an iPad.  Please use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad until you determine whiich ports (if any) on your laptop will do the job.
    Please read Chapter 2.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • Iphone not recognizing charger

    My iPhone 5 stopped recognizing the charger about a week ago unless I shook it around or flipped the charger (the part that goes into the phone). I took it to the Apple Store, where an employee removed some lint and claimed it would work. Unfortunately, the problem has persisted and just today it stopped recognizing all of my chargers. My iPad recognizes them and my phone doesn't work with other chargers either, so I know that the problem is not the chargers, but the phone. What should I do? My warranty ended in October (I've had an iPhone 5 since October 2012, had to replace the original in February 2013)

        Hi GrannaJean,
    Oh no! My sincere apologies for the issues with your device. We definitely want to get your device charging properly. Have you attempted to utilize another charger for this device? Have you taken the device to your local VZW Store http://bit.ly/3SdsA for evaluation? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • New MacBook Pro, migrated from old machine, iphone not recognized

    I just got a new MBP and everything seems to have transferred over just fine except iTunes doesn't recognize either my iPhone or my iPad when plugged in. I have deauthorized the old computer and authorized the new one, the backups from yesterday on the old machine show up under preferences > devices. The only real difference between the 2 machines is the one was on Leopard and the new one is Snow Leopard! Any ideas? Thanks!

  • IPhone not recognized by computer, but is charging just fine?

    Hello,
    I have synced my phone before with my iTunes just fine, but lately I've had issues. I plug my phone into my computer and it charges it just fine, but no trust notification or anything has shown up. No indication of it being noticed at all happens. Now before you answer, let me explain some things;
    1. I've tried three different cords, old one, and two new ones.
    2. It is no where to be found in device manager or anything of the sort.
    3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of iTunes at least three times, to no avail.
    4. Restarted and updated everything multiple times as well.
    5. Tried two other computers, nothing.
    I have iOS 8.1.2, and the newest iTunes (12.something.)
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, this is the support document for an iPhone not being recognized with iTunes in Windows. iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    When you removed and reinstalled iTunes, did you do it by following the instructions in this support document? Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    If you did not follow the instructions above, it can cause additional issues for you. With the phone connected, you say you do not see it in device manager, do you see it in Computer? Do you see any USB error in device manager?

  • IPhone not recognized after Mac security update

    I have a Mac iBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11, and an iPhone 3G running OS 3.0. Up to now they have worked fine together. The phone was charged on the iBook this morning. This afternoon I ran software update on the Mac which installed the latest security update (2009-05, I think). After that, the phone is not recognized when plugged in the USB port. It no longer charges, nor is it recognized by iTunes.
    I have checked the following to be sure that the security update is the culprit:
    The iPhone with the same cable works fine on another Mac (running 10.5).
    Other devices (thumb drive, printer) work fine in the same USB ports.
    Finally, I restarted the iBook from the original installation CD for OSX 10.4. When running with the original version, the iPhone is recognized correctly.
    So, I am reporting a problem with the security update, and I need to know how to back it off, or how to get it fixed.
    Thanks for any help.
    NOTE: Software update also installed iTunes 9.0.1 along with updates to Quicktime and Safari. However, none of these apps even have to be running to show that the phone will not charge.

    The problem was solved by resetting the System Management Unit, thanks to a helpful phone call with an Apple Expert. On the iBook this required unplugging, removing the battery, and holding the power button in for 15 seconds.
    Earlier I tried zapping the PRAM, as someone suggested, but the phone was not recognized. But it turns out it did show up in the System Profiler.
    I have no idea why this happened in the first place, right after the software update.

  • Iphone not recognized by windows or itunes

    Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this issue?  My iphone 4 is not recognized by my PC.  My OS is by Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.  I tried the various "device not recognized" troubleshooting to no avail.  I tunes is up to date.  I even turned off my security sw for a bit to see if there was a third party conflict...all to no avail.  There has got to be someone out there who has the smarts to show me how to fix this.  Please advise and many thanks in advance!

    Jason,
    I understand why Apple doesn't cover the water damaged phones under the warranty, but do you know why they don't fix them if the customer is paying? Is it just because they want the people to buy another phone so they can make more money? I guess I just don't get it.
    The cost to repair a device and all of its components is more than the cost of a new device.
    Other than the article I linked above, this is the part of the warranty/legal forms that would apply:
    +"US v1.0+
    +Apple reserves the right to refuse+
    +service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to+
    +accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other+
    +than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider), unauthorized modification, extreme environment+
    +(including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference,+
    +fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external+
    +causes. In such event, Apple may return the product to you without servicing it, and may charge you the+
    +Diagnostic Fee."+ from http://images.apple.com/legal/terms/repair/docs/070108aiphoneOOW.pdf
