Ignore sandeep. Don't use DFU mode. You need to use recovery mode.

Why does Itunes not recognize my iphone 3GS on any windows computer?

I have had my Iphone for a little while now and itunes on my computer was working and the phone was doing fine except that the usb wall charger would not charge my phone in less i plugged the phone in first, turned it off, then turned it back on and then the wall charger would work correctly. This was more irritating then anything and I had read on the internet that updateing to 4.3.1 would fix the issue. So I was using iOS 4.2.1 on my iphone 3GS and decided to go ahead and update to 4.3.1, after doing so itunes (newest version) will not recognize my Iphone no matter which computer I plug it into (I have tried 3 other computers, 2 of which run Windows 7 64 bit and the other running Windows XP 32 bit). I have tried reinstalling the newest version of itunes on 2 different computers which included deleteing ALL folders and/or files related to apple, itunes, quicktime, or any other program that i may of had on that computer. I also uinstalled the apple mobile device driver in Device Manager to try to see if that would fix the issue at the same time. None of that worked on either PC. I then tried connecting my Iphone to a computer I had never had it on period. This computer also never had itunes or quicktime on it so i figured this would be a fresh start. I again installed the newest version of itunes and then connected my Iphone to that computer for the first time, which again resulted in not working. My last try was connecting my Iphone into my brothers computer that already had itunes on it, and he has a ipod in which he has used on that computer many times, his ipod still connects and itunes recognize's it just fine, however again itunes would not recognize my iphone. Next I thought maybe if I put my iphone into recovery mode and then connect it to my computer itunes would find it, which would correct the problem after I exited recovery mode. Yet again to no avail, and i tried this on all 4 computers as well... Lastly I tried to just reset my iphone and let it come up while connected to the computer, but sadly, to no avail.
So obviously my conclusion is what ever is causing this problem is most likely located directly on the iphone itself, seeing as I have tried it on multiple computers one of which itunes and the phone had never been on, 2 of which I have previously used for my iphone on iOS 4.2.1 and another of which was my brothers which he had used for his ipod. However I do not know how to fix (if I even can) this issue so that I can once again use itunes with my iphone.
Oh, and lastly... updateing from 4.2.1 to 4.3.1 did not fix the usb wall charger issue... After all of the above all I achieved was to add another problem to the table of which previously consisted of a problem that was simply irritating and annoying.
Thanks in advance for any advice and/or solutions that may lead me to resolving this issue.

Itunes not recognizing my iphone 4s??? HELP! pc recognizes it as a camera??

My itunes does not recognize my iphone 4s when i plug it in. I have tried many things please help. when i plug it in it is recognized as a camera.

When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer?

Ox upgrade / itunes not recognizing ipod/iphone

Just updated to ox 10.6.7 and neither my 4th gen ipod or 3g iphone are being picked by itunes. Can someone give me some pointers to resolve this? They are charging but not recognized by itunes. Thanks.

Why is my itunes not recognizing my iphone 4S?

When I plug in my iphone 4S to my Mac computer, iphoto is the only application that opens. Why does itunes not open when I plug in my iphone? Why does itunes not even recognize my iphone?

The problem is that your MacOS and iTunes versions do not support the iPhone 4. The minimum requirements are written on the box.
Please check out this thread....https://discussions.apple.com/message/16126807#16126807
So first, just get the upgrade to at least 10.5.8.
I'd suggest that you go to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in the Apple Store but be sure to check that you have the minimum hardware requirements on your Mac.
Then get the latest version of iTunes.

New computer itunes not recognizing my iphone

Greetings,
I just bought a new Intel core i5 imac, and set up the new itunes to connect to my library which was located on an external drive. The transfer went smoothly and everything works fine except that the new itunes does not register the existence of my iphone when I connect it to the computer. For the moment I am unable to sync the phone. I looked in iTunes>Preferences>Devices and my phone is listed (5 times) in the Device Backup list. Any ideas how I can get iTunes to recognize my iphone?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Solved it thru more google search. Just re-downloaded the latest version of itunes (no need to uninstall first). That did the trick.

Itunes not recognizing my Iphone (There's no driver)

Hello,
Suddenly my Iphone stopped working with Itunes. There had been some issues (like Itunes not letting me add or delete songs from the Iphone) but now the "Can't use this iPhone because the necessary software is not installed" message. I followed these instructions but there's no "Driver" folder, reinstalled iTunes, deleted 3rd party software, but the problem is there still. Should it be that 11.1.5 update is having an issue?
Thanks.

Workaround: Downgrading to 11.1.0 and the drivers are there.
This is annoying, maybe Apple forgot to pack the drivers in the newest package.

Latest version of iTunes not recognizing my iPhone 4sprevious

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my laptop today and since then my iPhone 4s has not been recognized, but it was showing up just before I downloaded the new iTunes. What can I do to fix this? Or is there a way to download they previous iTunes?

Yes. I just solved the problem on my PC. Here goes...
Issue: My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
Solution:
1. You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite". This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
3. Uninstall Mobile Me.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Reinstall Mobile Me.
6. Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application. I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
This is where the file was located:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
I hope this helps,
Ron

Itunes not recognizing my iphone after the new update. Help!

Ok, so after my old dinosaur computer finally finished updating and restoring my iphone4 with the new software, everything seems ok with the exception of about 20 ringtones that didn't get restored over. So I go to replug in my phone and I get an error message saying "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."
WHAT???? I just updated the stupid phone for hours and now it does this? So now it's not even being recognized in my itunes window. Anyone???

Envision99 is nearly correct.
First thing to try is to re-install iTunes (download it HERE and run the installer) - but, there's no need to uninstall it first. If that does not correct the problem, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS, as described in this linked kbase article.
