IPhone not showing up in iTunes or shows up as "imaging device" - Win XP

SOOO glad I waited in line for several hours today!!!
Anyone having issues with getting the iPhone to show up on a Win XP Pro machine??? I have tried to get the iphone working on two separate laptops, one a Dell M70 and the other a Dell M60, both Win XP Pro SP2.
I've gone thru all the self help steps, including re-installing iTunes. I downloaded it today.
On the M70... the device is recognized by Windows, but the computer treats it as an "imaging device" and iTunes does not find it.
On the M60... the device isn't even found. when I plug it in, I get a weird quick double beep sound, as opposed to the normal sound when plugging in a device to the USB port. About 30 seconds later, it makes the disconnect sound. All the while without disconnecting.
I'm thinking this sounds like a lovely trip back to the Apple store tomorrow. Oh joy.

I saw this too - but closing iTunes and re-plugging the phone seemed to work for me. I seem to have the best luck when I plug in the phone with iTunes not running and allow it to open after the iPhone is connected...
Good Luck!

  • IPhone not being recognized by iTunes anymore

    Howdy,
    Like the subject line says. It use to auto recognize so I can sync, though the last time I synced was back in Dec 2007. But now it doesn't even recognize the device at all. itunes won't list it on the left hand menu, so I can't sync.
    Not sure if it's the latest update to iTunes 7.6.1.9 that caused it.
    Tried:
    Swapping different USB ports. It only recognizes that there is a camera device attached.
    Tried uninstalling the latest update and running an older version of iTunes I downloaded last Oct. But the old version won't start up because the library has already been updated to newer version.
    Did a hard shutdown of my iPhone, and that doesn't work.
    Tried charging iPhone to max and that didn't work.
    Basically, nothing is working.
    Any ideas? Not sure if it's the device or my computer, and I can't seem to find any way to reach customer support on this website... it's like a maze.
    I'm using Windows XP. I'm about to pull my hair out!

    Hello
    Posted below is some troubleshooting that may possibly assist you today. Please be aware I am also posting what may have been done already. You can skip past this if needed. Simply posting it for others as well. If you have any other questions feel free to post back.
    1. Go to Add/Remove Programs, Located in the control panel. And check and see if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is listed. It is usually located right above "Apple Software Update"
    If it is not there. Then this is the reason iPhone stopped showing up. Please follow the next step below to possibly resolve this.
    1 A - Uninstall the following programs in the following order if possible. Then reinstall iTunes 7.1.6.9 for Windows
    * Remove Apple Mobile Device Support
    * Remove Apple Software Update
    * Remove Bonjour
    * Remove any iPod Updater Programs
    * Remove Quicktime
    * Remove iTunes
    -Reboot the computer, Then download and install iTunes 7.1.6.9
    Once you have installed, Connect the iPhone, Wait and see if it shows up in iTunes. If it does not proceed below.
    2. Go to Start- Run- type services.msc and press ok. The services window will launch.
    Do you see Apple Mobile Device in the list? If so the Status should be started. If it is anything else please post back what it is.
    You can usually right click on Apple Mobile Device, And tell it to start service if it was some how stopped. Once you start it and it stays started, Reconnect iPhone and see what happens.
    If for some reason the service auto stops, This is sometimes caused by Security Software. Please disable or uninstall this software for testing, And see if it allows the service to be started.
    If for some reason Apple Mobile Device says it is disabled. Then do the following
    2 A - Right click on Apple Mobile Device, Select Properties, Look for Startup Type, Switch it to Automatic, and Apply settings, Then Start the service and press ok, Now test iPhone
    3. Please test all USB Ports and see if any of them resolve iPhone not showing in iTunes, Also if possible connect iPhone to another PC to ensure it is not the iPhone itself. This will isolate it to something on the PC or iPhone
    If possible disconnect any un-needed USB Devices.
    If needed follow this article as well

  • IPhone not being recognized by iTunes

    My iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes. I have iPhone original version with the latest software OS update. The phone was reset because of unrelated problems, and I need to connect to iTunes for it be operational! iTunes 9.1 on my computer... my iPad syncs with no problem but the iPhone is not even showing up as a device on the iMac or MacBook!
    I have followed the steps on the Apple Support website, but the problem persists. What to do next?
    thanks

    Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.
    Here is the link for OS X.

  • Why aren't my songs previously playable on my iPad/iPhone (tho not purchased directly from iTunes) no longer playable on my devices?

    Why aren't my songs previously accessible on my I/Pad 2/iPhone 4s devices in "Music" appearing in faint print & graphics no longer accessible?  I had downloaded them into iTunes on my PC and previously synced them.  Suddenly after recent syncing they were inaccessible.  Why?  (I previously downloaded an IOS_5 platform to my PC to use iCloud.  Was working until recently.)

    I too am having this problem. Its really frustrating. In fact i have my setting to have all music on my phone however the phone displays I have 2986 and the itunes reads 2987. I'm one off on this area. In addition some of my purchased music does not show in my purchased list on the phone. It does show on the itunes account on the computer and in the overall albums just not in the purchased. I drug the purchased song from the albums to the purchased playlist and tried to have it re-sync... did not work.. I tryed re-booting the phone, and restoring from back up all failed.
    Another problem I have found since the IOS7 updates is the phone doesn't keep my music where it was when I get out of my car. I used to love that I would get out of the car in the middle of my playlist go in the store come out and it would pick up right where it left off. Now I get back in the car and it begins playing random music of all my entire library. I love all my music however I don't want to listen to Christmas and Halloween music all the time. I don't want to remove these from the phone as I want them always available. I just want the function to go back to how it was.
    Oh and the last thing, sometimes when I turn my phone sideways and am listening to music the collage of albums shows but freezes so I cant turn the phone back and change the music. I like having the capablility of turning the phone to see pictures and things auto turn but not this collage of albums if it's gonna delay me swictching or skipping songs.
    Any ideas for these issues? Is apple aware and working on these?

  • Iphone not being recognised by itunes, but being recognised as camera.

    I've updated everything, restarted my computer, restarted in services... it's being recognised as a camera folder, but not coming up in itunes. I need to download some apps using my computer, as my iphone has changed it's app store to China, but itunes has kept it as England, which means I cannot download apps without itunes.

    I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
    I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
    anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

  • Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

    I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

  • HT1688 Why will some songs from my iPhone not transfer onto my iTunes & vice versa?

    I've had the same phone for about a year and a half and it's always been fine up until a few months ago. Some songs just show up in iTunes but are shaded and there's a little circle all the way on the left side of the row. I'm not sure why this is happening and it's rather frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Should've mentioned in your post.
    Now try de-selecting all the songs in iTunes, and sync.
    Do a Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    Select the songs you want and sync again.

  • Iphone not being recognized by Itunes for Windows. 0xE8000001 Error

    I am trying to upload some music on to my new IPhone, every time i connect my iphone, itunes does not recognize it. I have the latest version of ITunes 7.5.0.2. I reinstalled itunes several times, restarted Apple Mobile Device Service serveral times but still no luck. Please Advise.

    I had the same exact error. I am from the US and don't have any jailbreak crudy on my phone.
    I fixed the problem by resetting and erasing the phone; shutting down the Mac; Resetting NVRAM (boot->CMD-O-F, 'reset-nvram', 'shut-down'); Resetting PRAM (boot->CMD-P-R, hold until it starts booting); load up iTunes; restore iPhone backup.
    Do you have to go through all these steps? I don't know. But this worked for me.

  • My iphone not sync with my itunes??

    I can't manage my iphone apps in my itunes just like i can do to my ipad. Why?
    Or probably we can't sync our iphone anymore after we already sync an ipad using the same computer same itunes??
    As a matter of fact i sync my ipad first before my iphone.

    Itunes is capable of syncing multiple devices. That is not an issue.
    it sounds like your iphone is not being recognized by itunes.
