ITunes 9.2.1 doesn't see my iPhone 3G 4.0 on Windows 7 x64

Hi everyone. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have been having this problem since I updated my iTunes to 9.2. The problem is I plug my phone in, and iTunes doesn't see it. After plugging it in, iTunes seems to struggle a bit, lags, before finally running smoothly again. The phone doesn't appear in iTunes, though my computer detects it and I can browse the photos like I always could. Any help is appreciated!

yup same here
its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
only way round this i found is to do this:
reboot windows
and reboot iphone
eventually they will see each other.
what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 doesn't "see" my iPhone 5s

    I am running OSX 10.9.1 and iTunes 11.1.4.
    When I connect my iphone to itunes it just says "iPhone" and has the spinning icon and it's all grayed out. Can't click at all. Sometimes it want me to update to 7.0.6 which I want. When I click update it just doesn't do anything but the spinning icon by my iphone stops. I can't delete iTunes because it says it's required for mavericks.
    I dont know what to do.

    Your computer should recognize the Camera Roll only, as a digital camera. iTunes must recognize it for syncing and backup.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't see my iPhone to sync it

    I've been using my iPhone 3GS (OS 4) to run the Nike+ app, and have been syncing it nearly daily to my MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.11) after my runs. A few days ago when I tried to sync, the computer didn't recognize the iPhone was connected. I purchased a new cable and was able to upload the stored data yesterday with it, but today I have the same problem with both the new & old cables: the computer doesn't see my iPhone as even connected. Both the cables work when I plug them in to recharge the phone. I don't think the problem is the cable -- does anyone have any ideas about what to try next?

    You need to update your software to 10.5.8 at a minimum. That's your problem, 10.4.11 is no longer supported.
    See here:
    Mac system requirements
    * Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access

    Symptoms
    In rare circumstances, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may not be recognized in iTunes on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard after the Mac is restarted. If you reinstall iTunes, your device may be recognized. However, restarting your Mac may result in the device not being recognized again.
    Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Resolution
    Follow the below steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    Note: Some of these steps will require that you enter your Mac OS X user password. If you do not know your user's password, follow this article first.
    Install all software updates. If you have an update available for an SDK (Software Development Kit), be sure these updates are also installed. Do this by clicking the Apple () menu, choosing Software Update, and following the on-screen instructions. If you need to download iTunes manually, you can download it here.
    Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
    Restart your Mac, open iTunes, and connect your device. If your device shows up in iTunes, restart your Mac one more time and confirm the issue is still resolved.

  • I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore.  It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders.  Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially.  Thanks

    You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
    Best of luck.

  • Updated to Itunes 7.0.1, doesn't see my ipod via USB1.1!!

    Hi
    My itunes/ipod were running fine under USB 1.1 (older computer) until I updated to 7.0.1 - now itunes doesn't see my ipod!! The iPod shows up in device manager, though, and my machine even mapped a drive to it when iTunes timed out (I removed that).
    Everything was fine until I updated. sigh.
    I found an Apple page that said they don't "support' USB 1.1 - could it be that iTunes 7.0.1 just doesn't?
    thanks in advance for any help!
