ITunes 11.1.4 will not recognize iPhone, iPad after Dell BIOS update

I suspect the problems everyone is having are related to the BIOS.  I am running a Dell XPS i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM, 64 bit OS x64 based processor.  OS is Windows 8.1
I just updated my BIOS as suggested by Dell.  Now iTunes 11.1.4 will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.
My computer accesses the iPhone or iPad, but iTunes does not recognize them.
This was not a problem prior to updating BIOS.
Is there a fix or patch?
I have to sync my devices for work.
Please no baby-steps replies.  Have tried everything including removing devices from device manager and reconnecting to force driver update and try to force iTunes recognition.  None of that works.
Thanks!

Here is the fix from Waldo-E3 elsewhere in this forum.
Like I said, no baby steps answers please!
Kudos to Waldo-E3!
  RESOLVED...
Found these steps posted elsewhere by another and the solution worked for me...
1. Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel. 
2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver) 
3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list. 
4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top  When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button. 
5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner. 
6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button. 
7. Select "Update Driver". 
8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software". 
9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.   
10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install. 
11. iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already

  • ITunes 11 wifi sync will not recognize my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 6

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 11, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both running iOS 6.0.1) as active devices for the purposes of wifi sync.  It does, however, recognize my iPad 1 running iOS 5.  The only way I can sync my iPad 2 or iPhone 4 is to attach the USB cable. 
    The older version of iTunes 10 started exhibiting this behavior when iOS 6 was released, but I was able to get iTunes to recognize the devices by powering them off and then back on.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  Some advice from Apple would be appreciated.

    Guys, I just performed the Itunes update and experienced the same (honestly I was expecting it),
    My sollution was, clear up caches on both iPad 2 and  iTunes.
    Exactly what I did was the following:
    1. Update iTunes.
    2. Deactivate the home sharing on iTunes.
    3. Disconect iPad from home sharing.
    4. On iTunes>Preferences>Devices "Allow" the automatic sync for iPod, iPhone & iPad
    5. Click on the button labeled "restart synchronization historical" (sorry, don't know how the button looks in English, mine is in Spanish)
    6. Click Ok
    7. To clear up iPad's caché I force reset the device by pressing and hold both buttons on the device (front and top)
    8. Activate the home sharing on both devices again and voilá... there is my full blues collection again!
    Maybe for some people it will work this way just fine and for others by doing in a different order, after all for what I see is a caché issue.
    Let me know if it was of any help, I'm more PC than mac but network issues are the same and I'm more than glad to help and learn any time.

  • I just updated to the newest version of iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPad in order to sync.  Any suggestions?

    I now have the newest version of iTunes.  My iPad is up-to-date as well.  When I plug in the USB to my computer, it makes the proper sound, but I do not see the device identified in iTunes and therefore cannot sync it.  Instead, it opens to the file location for my iPad.  How do I connect iTunes to my iPad?  It was working perfectly before I updated iTunes.

  • Computer does not recognize iPhone 4s after 6.1 update

    I updated my iphone 4s last night.  Now when I connect my phone to my computer to came up as an unrecognizable device.  iTunes doesn't show my phone either.  I need to be able to have my phone show up can anyone tell me how to get this to work again PLEASE!?!?!?!

    What is DFU mode? I tried another USB port and another computer and it didn't recognize it either.  I didn't try another cable because if I use this cable and plug it into the wall it charges so the cable works.  The phone doesn't even charge when plugged into the computer.

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

    iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone.  However, it will recognize several older iPods.  I am working in Windows 8.  Help.  I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. 
    I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly.  When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device.  This was working properly a week ago.  What happened? 

    Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

    windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

    my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

    Have you tried here >  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If so...
    Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons..

  • ITunes 11.1.3 will not recognize Ipad1

    My Ipad 1 is working perfectly and my computer with Windows 8.1 recognizes it when I connect it through the USB port. However, since ITunes was updated to 11.1.2 and now with 11.1.3, ITunes will not recognize my Ipad and I am unable to sync anything. I checked the Ipad and the software is updated. I tried rebooting it as well as the computer, but nothing has worked.
    I do hope this is not a way to force me to buy a new Ipad. Lord knows Apple is brilliant with planned obsolesence, but this would be taking it way too far.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software?  If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update

    My iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update.  Does anyone has similar problem?

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.
