ITunes on windows 7 does not recognise my iPhone 5 anymore

Hi everyone ,
Today I tried to sync my iPhone 5, I updated it to the latest software and did the same on my PC . Now when I plug in my phone it shows the phone , but thinks its a new one and asks me to delete my phone then reconnect. However there's no backup I can use then. It's as if I have never used iTunes with this phone ever before . Im desperate here, I don't want to loose everything I have on the phone ;-( please help me. I've tried for 10 hours with nothing .

It works now following the discussion "My iPad 2 doesn't show up in iTunes" posted by iFart last month ! 
Using the USB ports on the back of computer (instead of the front ones) works without a problem.

  • Itunes on windows does not recognise ipad

    iTunes on my windows xp pc does not always recognise my iPad.  Also, the icon in the task bar which indicates when a usb device is attached, does not appear.
    Neither of these problems appear when I attach my iPod.
    Any suggestions will be welcome
    Robin

    The iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone do not appear as external drives which is why they do not show up in your Task Bar as externals the way an iPod will do if the option "Manually manage music…" has been checked. With that option selected the option "Enable disk use…" automatically becomes available which means that you can drag files to the unused portion of the drive. This is not the case with the devices mentioned above. As to the recognition of your iPad by iTunes you might want to check to see that the connection is firmly in place each time that you mount it onto the computer-- both the computer USB connection and the Apple Dock connector.

  • My PC W7 does not recognise my iPhone 4S nor does the latest version of iTunes

    When I connect the iPhone to the PC the PC makes a sound as though it recognises something being connected to the PC however even Windows does not show the iPhone as connected.

    try resetting the apple mobile device support
    -http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    if this doesnt work ou may have to put it into recovery mode
    -hold home and power button till apple logo comes up or for like 1 min or put into recovery mode hold home button down while plugging it into the computer till iTunes logo comes up
    if that does not work either you may want to uninstall itunes and reinstall it

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

    if necessary.
    2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

  • I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when i plugged it into my pc a skull came up instead of the apple icon.  My pc does not recognise the iPhone, I have tried everything that I can think of.  Has anybody any ideas on how I can fix this?

    I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple.  The pc also does not recognise the iPhone.  The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old.  Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks

    You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone.  You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

    I have a 6th gen nano and windows 8.1. Itunes does not recognise my nano. I have tunes to download

    B noir
    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • How can i connect my iphone 4 s with itunes? itune does not recognise the iphone when it is connected

    Hi, i have received an iphone 4s from japan! whwn i connect it to my pc, itunes does not recognise it. what can i do?

    For this issue you might try a couple things.
    First, try to restart the Apple Mobile Device service by clicking Start and searching for Services. Stop the service, then restart the service.
    If that doesn't work, you can remove and reinstall iTunes.

  • Windows does not recognize my iphone name, but itunes does

    This is a reqpost of another forum on diff site, but is the exact same problem i have~
    After the IOS5 update~  and and updating two phones on same computer~
    I have windows 7 x64bit, and the problem is it does not recognize my iPhone's name anymore.. in itunes it shows the correct name but when ever i look at My Computer listed under portable devices the name is wrong instead of being Louie's iPhone it shows Kim's iPhone (My Fiancees iPhone).. i can still access it and get my pictures and stuff but the name of the device is just wrong.. so im hoping you guys know how to solve this problem.. this only started happening when i installed iOS 5...
    so to sum it up..
    iTunes... Louie's iPhone
    Windows... Kim's iPhone
    here are the things I already did but did not work...
    ... uninstalled everything apple, rebooted and reinstalled.
    ... restored my iPhone as new 3x and still nothing....
    I am at a lost here.. so please help me guys? i know you can solve this coz sinful has never failed me before

    In Windows 7, it is not possible to change the name by right-clicking and selecting properties! It doesn't work...
    The only solution that worked was to search the registry for the incorrect name and adjust it by hand, which strikes me as a pretty ****** solution! Better would be that the Apple USB driver would just use a neutral name like "iPhone". Which makes me wonder what would happen if two iPhones are connected at the same time: how can they be told apart in the "Computer" application?
