ITunes doesn't see my iPhone on my Windows 8 computer. It used to, now with latest version of iTunes it doesn't. Help?

I can't get iTunes to see my phone anymore. I am trying to sync my phone as I've done a million times and now suddenly I can't get the device to show up in iTunes. I have reinstalled iTunes, restarted my phone, and followed a few other steps in the online help that got me nowhere. Anyone have advice as to how to do this? I've got to sync my calendars asap!
Thank you!

Hi akwritermama,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly. Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
I hope this information helps ....

I have installed a new windows 7 computer (Dell) and downloaded the latest version of ITunes. How can I populate my music into ITunes from my I-pod classic?

Hey AppleMacParker,
Thanks for the question. The following article may assist you in setting up syncing with your iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
Select items to sync automatically
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
2. Select the type of media you want to sync.
The types of media you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see Sync and organize iOS apps and Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
3. Select the Sync checkbox, and select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
Click a button to select the kind of content you want to sync, then select the sync checkbox and select the items you want to sync automatically
The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I'm stumped. Just picked up the new iPhone 5. I have 10.8.2 Mountain Lion with latest version of iTunes. Dropbox recognizes device, but iTunes doesn't. Help?

My iPhone 5, with its fancy new cable and whatnot, won't show up under iTunes. I don't understand why. All my devices are checkmarked to show under Finder Preferences, but the iPhone doesn't even show up under Finder. However, the popup from Dropbox asking if I want to import my iPhone 5's pictures pops up. Any ideas? Thanks.

I fixed it. I just redownloaded iTunes and it worked. Source Here: http://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/11zydt/im_stumped_just_picked_up_the_new _iphone_5_i_have/c6r5r1l

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Hi mallikb4u,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are two separate steps you will need to take in this situation. The first thing I recommend you doing is following the first attached article to help you resolve your iPhone not showing in iTunes when connected.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once you complete the steps listed above and you iPhone is showing in iTunes, I recommend reading over and using the instructions in the next article for importing photos from your iPhone to your computer.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I have a new iPhone 4 which I cannot sync until I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes software (10.2.2). Upon trying to upgrade, I keep receiving a message which states, "The URL could not be opened." Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Would like to try other easier option(s) before uninstalling & installing newest version.

You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

You can't see them as such. The entire backup is stored as a database, sql file. You can find the backup file here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
You will need an sql reader to view the contents,

You need to purchase a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM. Run Software Update twice afterwards.
If you're already running Mac OS X 10.6, run Software Update until it gives you the option of installing iTunes 11.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

I cannot see the Vidoe displayed on the screen, only hear the sound. I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help.

I am not able to view my video taken with a memory card only the sound? I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help
I can see it on Windows Media? Need help on this.

It says SEDG 720X480 2:1 Mono. Video came from Sd memory card taken with a Samsung Video Camera.
Strangely enough, as a FourCC, SEDG is defined as "MPEG-4 hardware and software codec used in Samsung digital video products." Not a Windows or Samsung camcorder user but THIS WEB PAGE may be of some assistance.
Also I will need to view a CD recorded by the same camera (DVD-RW) file extensions are VIDEO_RM.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, SAMSUNG.IFO So far these files don't open even with Windows Media.
I don't know what to do to be able to open up these files save them on my Hard drive and then be able to upload them to YouTube. Any Ideas?
IFO files tell how the video content is segmented and where the video data is located. BUP files contain back-up IFO information. VOB files contain actual multipled audio/video data. A DVD formatted to play in a commercial DVD player normally contains a series of files named "VTS##_#.VOB" where ## refers to the "title" series and "_#" (where # is not a zero) refers to the order in which the video title file data is played.
Again, I am neither a Windows user nor an athority on Samsung VIDEO_RM folder structures. However, if your disc contains both a VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folder, then I would normally assume the VIDEO_RM folder is present for legacy purposes and/or to provide information about the refording device while the VIDEO_TS folder actually contains the video object (VOB) file data. In any case, as I am not familiar with what software is available for muxed MPEG-2/AC3 editing/conversion on a Windows platform, I would try viewing the VOB files in an application like MPEG Streamclip (free). If you can play the Audio and video content (be sure to read the MPEG Streamclip requirements regarding codec installation), then you can edit (merge and/or trim) the raw data and convert it to a format compatible for YouTube uploading. (I.e., MPEG Streamclip is commonly used on the Mac for this type of work flow and the app is also available for Windows use.)
