  • After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

    After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
    I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
    Please help with this problem
    Thanks

    You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
    The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

  • Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

    I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
    Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
    Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
    However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
    And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help  because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
    Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

  • Itunes does not recognize iphone during os update

    During the update of the os the phone swiches to recovery iboot mode. The pc then loses contact and doesn't recognize it anymore. When i attach the phone to another pc it recognizes the recover mode of the phone and it can be switch back to factory settings.
    Everytime i start itunes it gives an message:
    The software needed for communication with Ipods and mobile phones is not corectly installed. Do you want iTunes to repair the problem.
    But the fix is apperently not working because the next time i start the message remains.
    The problem of not recognizing the ipone does not exsist during normal iphone sync, only after installing a new OS.
    I already tried:
    - removing itunes, all drivers, all apple software and reinstalling everything
    - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    - i only found this error message in the log iPod Service:
    cannot find event-id 0 from source iPod Service. [...] service started
    Anybody any suggestions? Please let me know?

  • ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

    Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
    Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables. 
    If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
    But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection.  The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect.  The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot.  This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
    BTW, I do have other choices.  I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

    Howdy AndieKanaras,
    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Itunes does not recognize my iphone 4 device

    I bought a new computer, tried to install itunes, after three different people tried to help me, i finally got itunes to install, but when I plug my iphone into my computer, itunes does not recognize the device.  I am trying to 1. upgrade my iphone soft ware to 10.5.3, utilize icloud, and perform basic functions of syncing my phone with my computer. Any help, anyone could provide would be appreciated.
    Tank you,
    Rose

    If your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    I don't have this problem with my windows machine.  Unfortunately, a new policy in the company requires that ITunes not be on your computer or you may be terminated.  I've got one week to figure out why things are different so that I am good to go for the future.
    First off, copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your work computer to an external drive.
    Copy it to /Music/ on your personal computer.
    Try using a USB port on the back of the computer.
    If the devices are still not discovered, see this -> http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/

  • My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol.  I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes.  The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

    I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected.  Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes.  I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success.  ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes..  Please help!

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

    i updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:
