ITunes recognizes iPhone, but PC doesn't

Since installing iPhone OS 3.0.1, my PC no longer recognizes my iPhone as a mobile device and I can't upload my photos. I am still able to charge my iPhone and sync with iTunes.
Is this a bug in the new OS? If so, when will it be fixed?
Is there another solution?

You do NOT have exactly the same problem. The OP says that iTunes recognizes the phone, but the PC does not for transferring photos. Your problem is that iTunes does not recognize the iPhone. Completely different problem, and a quick search of the forum will show a lot of threads on how to resolve this issue.

ITunes recognizes iPhone but iPhoto doesn't??

Hey all,
Using a new 2014 MacBook Air and a new iPhone 6...everything is completely updated. My charging cord, although it works completely fine when plugged into an outlet, seems faulty when plugged into my computer. My iPhone buzzes on and off as it keeps charging and then not charging every 2 seconds when connected to the macbook. This is an old cable from my iPhone 5.
I took the new iPhone 6 cable out of the box to use...vibrating on/off problem is solved. Now, however, iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone no matter what I do. iTunes works just fine, but iPhoto is being ridiculous...any advice? I've restarted both my computer and my phone.

Try lauch iTunes.
Then connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Then try import.

ITunes recognizes iPhone, but doesn't show sync screen-what to do?

My iphone 3G S is authorized, has the latest software and I am running the latest iTunes as well on my MacBook.
When I connect the iPhone, the icon is visible on the left hand side pane in iTunes—under 'devices', but the screen freezes when I select the iphone icon, i.e. nothing seems to happen and I can't see anything related to syncing my iPhone.
File->'Sync iPod' item is also dimmed.
(Photos sync automatically, with no problem)
I can't seem to find any relevant info so far, because iTunes recognizes the iPhone in my case—but won't show the sync screen.

First step is to see if the problem is with the phone, the USB or the computer. For the USB make sure you are connecting to a port on the back of the computer, not to a hub and not to the keyboard. Try connecting to a different computer. If it works you have narrowed the problem. If it doesn't the problem is the phone or the cable, so try a different cable. If it works on a different computer try creating a new user on your computer, then see if you can connect when logged on as that user (you could do this first, of course).

ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't let me sync.

I have an iPhone 5c and when I plugged it in to sync iTunes recognizes the phone, but the little phone icon is grayed out and I can't click it. I can't access any of the sync settings or the sync button. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but that didn't work.
using windows, iTunes 12, ios 8.1

I shut down my computer for a few hours (after already trying uninstalling iTunes and restarting my computer several times with no results) and then plugged in my phone and it miraculously works. Glad iTunes is working like it should but it's so frustrating when there's not a clear solution.

I did the iPhone update, and iTunes recognizes iPhone but iPhone doesn't recognize iTunes.

the phone says "connect to iTunes" even when it is connected. iTunes seems to recognize the phone (even though the phone looks inactive). when looking at the macbook screen, the phone on the screen in itunes displays all my apps and music. i don't see my photos and my contacts from the macbook view. i'd like to restore my phone from the back up prior to the update, and i am being prevented from doing so. help.
prior to this i was having problems with itunes telling me to put in a password to retrieve my backup, and even after putting in my normal password it didn't work.
i did not have it set to encrypted. i've tried all previous passwords ever used in itunes or elsewhere on my computer.
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes recognizes iPhone but gives me error message iTunes can't sync

I always sync iPhone and iTunes on the same Mac computer. This is the first time I received an error message on iPhone that says iTunes cannot sync. Check iTunes for reason why it won't sync. Except, I don't see anywhere in iTunes that it shows he error message or gives me a reason why it didn't sync?
Is there a specific place in iTunes that I would locate an error message?
I checked category iphone 4 GSM, but notice there is a category iPhone 4 CDMA. Don't know the difference, so I just checked one.

No you cant. These are the requirements for Windows.
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access

ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't sync

I charged my iPhone last night and went to sleep. When I woke up all my songs were deleted and all my videos. On itunes it said your iphone could not be synced because there is not enough free space. 8.31 GB is required, 56 MB available. But I dont have any songs or videos on their, but my photos will sync to mu iPhone.

Clerify: iTunes said 6.31 MB needed and I have under Music tabs unchecked the sync and under videos I have sync videos and only checked one small video. I also unchecked sync pictures. This is all under the iphone tab when your iphone is connected to iTunes. Where it shows my iPhone memory space it is has
Other (orange) 7.16 GB
Photos (yellow) 10 MB
Free (white) 109.7 MB
When I'm on my iphone and go to iPod there is no videos or music and when I charged it last night I didn't click anything and awoke and it was all gone and could not sync it back but only sync videos.
Thank You for replying

As your iPhone is getting connected to iTunes take a backup of your iPhone in iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
And then Restore your iPhone to Factory settings and see if it works and if that doesn't fix the problem then there might be something wrong with the Hardware and you will have to take your iphone to Nearest Apple Genius Bar.

Win 8.1 recognizes Iphone - but Itunes does not

I cannot get the iphone to come up in Itunes.
I looked at the article Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows but it doesn't help, since I have the current version of Itunes 11.1.3.8 and the OS win 8.1
I have the apple mobile device service running, tried restarting the service, and still it won't come up in itunes, even though I can see the iphone device in windows explorer as a storage device.
Tried restarting the iphone, the pc, the software.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to get it back in service.

Same issue with an iPhone 5s and Win 8.1. Here's a fix that worked for me.
- Completely uninstall iTunes and all Apple services (Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, etc.)
- Re-install iTunes
- Connect your device, and Trust the computer
Hope it works for you!

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?

Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

I want to restore my phone by connecting my Iphone4 to iTunes in Mac but it doesn't show phone device.
I don't know why it doesnt connect to pc(Mac pro).
Any solution?

You need to restart the phone in DFU mode and update the software.
To restart the phone in DFU mode press the power and home button simultaneously for like 10 seconds once the phone is switched off release the power button keep holding the home button while you connect to the computer which has Itunes running and then you can restore or update the software, you can download the update and connect after the software has been downloaded if your phone disconnects, And enjoy you new IOS7.

HT201272 I downloaded several songs from my iPhone, but it doesn't appear on my Mac. And on the I-tunes, it shows that I have to purchase it again.

As the topic said:
