Try fixing this problem by folowing these steps:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that it may find out that your iphone is an iphone
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

  • ITunes with iPhone and iPad and Sprint 4G wireless?

    Will iTunes let me have my books, music, apps etc on iPhone and the iPad at the same time or is it going to keep deleting one or the other?
    Also, any reason the Wifi version would not work with a Sprint 4G wireless connection? That would be way faster than AT&T and I could use it for iPhone and iPad and Macbook at the same time.

    Apple says the dock connector/USB cable they sell hooks up to cameras and other devices for transferring photos etc.
    Connecting a device for sync to iTunes or to use the supported input devices like a camera is very different from connecting to a network. That function has never been made available via the SDK that I know of, though it's possible that it might be made so in the future.
    If you had iWork files on a USB drive, you'd think that using the iPad's dock/USB connector would allow iPad iWorks to grab the iWorks files from the USB drive.
    It doesn't do so on the iPhone or iPod touch - neither support connecting a USB storage device - so while we don't know about the iPad, I wouldn't place a wager on it, at least not at initial release.

  • ITunes thinks iPhone has more music than it really does, and won't sync

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1, and am running iTunes 11.1.5 on Mavericks.
    I was using iTunes Match on the iPhone, but I don't want to do so any more because I have acquired a lot of music that I can't upload to iTunes Match. (This is because my wife has her own iTunes Match account, and Apple won't allow two different iTunes Match accounts to be used simultaneously on the same computer, even under different user accounts. So because my wife uses her iTunes Match account under her user account on the same computer, I cannot activate my own iTunes Match account and upload my additional music.)
    So I turned off iTunes Match on the phone. I then went into Settings - General - Usage - Music and deleted all the music on the phone.
    The phone now shows as having no music on it at all, both in Settings and in the Music app itself.
    I hooked the phone up to iTunes in order to sync a new load of music onto it. Under "Summary", the usage bar shows no music on the phone at all, and a total of 10.99 GB free. This is exactly as expected.
    I have ticked "Sync only checked songs and video". In my iTunes library, only ten songs are checked. So I am attempting to put only ten songs onto the phone (for now).
    I go over to the "Music" tab of the phone. I check "Sync Music". Suddenly a huge blue bar appears at the bottom, and it now says I'm over capacity by 975.8 MB. And yet at the top of the screen, next to "Sync Music", it also says "10 songs". So it knows I only want to put 10 songs on the phone, and yet it thinks that this is too much for the 10.99 GB free space on the phone.
    Heading over to the "On This iPhone" tab of the phone, I see that all of the music that I previously deleted from the phone is showing up here, even though it's no longer on the phone. If I double-click on any of the items, they don't play, and an exclamation mark symbol appears next to them, indicating that the tracks aren't actually present. If I right-click on any of the items, the only options I have are to play them, get info, check the rating, or show in iTunes Store. There's no delete option.
    It looks like, as long as I don't try to sync the iPhone, iTunes recognises that there's no music on it, and it's got over 10 GB of free space. But as soon as I try to sync it, iTunes thinks that the old, deleted music is still on it, and that I therefore have no space to put anything more on. So it refuses to sync any music to the phone, even though there's plenty of space for it.
    I have tried ejecting the phone, restarting it, and remounting it. I have also tried signing out of my account on the phone and signing back in. It makes no difference. I don't know what else to do.
    So I can't sync the iPhone. What's going wrong, and what can I do to make it work?

    Same problem here. Mine is a iPhone 5s......

  • ITunes thinks my 64gig iPad 3 is 32, what to do?

    I recently upgrade from a 32gig iPad 1 to a 64 gig iPad 3. I set up the new iPad by restoring from a backup of the old one... Went fine, I've got it set up just the way I want it.... EXCEPT iTunes thinks it's only a 32 gig iPad?
    Do I have to start all over and set the ipad up as new, putting all my apps on again, etc, or is there (I hope) a way to get iTunes to see it's actually 64 gigs?
    Thanks,
    Dmitri

    AAAAnd I discovered the problem: User error. Somehow my old iPad's name and the new one got switched, so I was actually syncing my OLD iPad (OTA), rather than the new one cabled to the iMac.
    So never mind!

  • ITunes thinks iPhone is connected

    iTunes keeps launching itself as if I plugged in my iPhone, and it'll show my iPhone as connected even though it's not. What can I do to make this stop? I'm on the latest version of iTunes and the most recent iOs.

    Fix...
    Click on your device in iTunes.
    A summary should appear in the reading pane.
    At the bottom, you we see the following options
       Open iTunes when this iPad is connected
       Sync with this iPad over wifi
    Mine were checked ON
    I unchecked both options and clicked the apply button in the bottom right corner of the itunes window. iTunes stopped opening on its own every time my iPad came out of sleep.
    I suspect that these same options exist for the iPhones. Substitute iPhone for iPad in the description of the options.
    This should fix everyone's issues.

  • Apple id not work for mac app store, what happen? It is available for others such as iTunes, my iPhone and iPad

    apple id not work for mac app store, what happen? It is available for others such as iTunes, my iPhone and iPad

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

  • ITunes thinks that my iPad was never set up

    I recently got a retina display iPad. I set this up out of the box, using the iPad's quick start, product registration, etc. This iPad -- which is fully set up and functional -- will not successfully interface with iTunes. Attempting to sync the iPad results in iTunes bringing up the initial product setup window, as if though my iPad had never been used before.
    Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes.
    Yes, I set up the iPad with the same Apple ID as my laptop.
    Yes, the iPad and laptop are registered in the same country.
    I have used the app store on my iPad, accessed my stored  information, downloaded apps (both new and previously purchased), and I have seen no signs of any connectivity or usability issues other than this problem. The bizarre thing is that the iTunes Store accessed via my laptop is not showing any record of the new app purchases I have made on the iPad; it DOES show that money has been removed from my account.
    The real issue: I'd really like to sync my music and some videos, but I don't want to just reformat my iPad and potentially lose access to the apps I've purchased on it (which aren't showing up in my iTunes).

    This guy's message was a little bit different than the one that you are getting, but see if his strategic fix would be something that you would want to try to overcome this loop that you are stuck in.

  • TV shows won't download from iTunes on iPhone or iPad

    I am using all of the latest iPhone software, I am on wi-fi, with plenty of space available (>5GB).
    -Open iTunes app store app
    -Buy any TV SHOW (SD Edition)
    -Buy button turns into "Downloading".  Red badge appears in download portion of iTunes App. (expected behavior)
    -Unexpected behavior:  Red badge disappears.  "Downloading" button turns back into "Download" button.  Badge disappears from download area.  Nothing downloaded.
    This also happens if I try to download any TV show from the cloud.

    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name in the left sidebar under the Devices heading - and then select Transfer Purchases from the pop up. That should transfer the movies into your iTunes library on your PC.

  • Since the iOS5 update iTunes sees iPhone as iPad

    In the left-hand column, iTunes lists my phone as my iPad. It correctly identifies the iPad as the iPad when it's plugged in. In the white area/synching area, everything is fine--the iPad is the iPad and the phone is the phone. So far, I haven't noticed any changes on the phone and I hope it's just a small matter of some misplaced code. Anyone else have any problems I might be able to circumvent?
    Thanks.

  • Itunes thinks Iphone is synched to another machine after OS X reinstall

    after clean-installing os X on my imac, itunes states that my iphone is synched to another machine. 
    this is quite a hassle as i don't want to have to delete the contents of my iphone and start all over again.
    how do i tell itunes that no, my iphone is not synched to another machine, and have it let me leave my phone alone?
    cheers

    First reinstall iTunes. Here is Apple's troubleshooting guide for your problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

  • ITunes thinks iPad is owned by another iTunes Library.

    Hey,
    My iTunes thinks that my iPad (first generation) is owned by another iTunes library.  It definetely isn't.  How do I get rid of this problem without erasing and syncing?  And could this be related to the new motherboard and hard drive installed in my system?
    Thanks!
    Will

    Supervision Mode seems to embed itself into the operating system. In Apple Configurator, I had to unassign myself from the iPad. That restarts the iPad. This is something your IT Administrator has to do, but I doubt they will take it out of Supervisor mode as that means the devices can be stolen and used by anyone.
    You are getting this error message?
    Someone, your IT Administrator, used Apple Configurator to lock down your device and turned on "Supervision" in Apple Configurator:

  • Itunes herkent iphone niet

    sinds de nieuwe software-update herkent itunes de iphone en ipad niet meer.
    Wie weet raad?
    Opnieuw opstarten en itunes opnieuw geinstalleerd maar zonder resultaat.

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • I am thinking of purchasing and iPad 2. Me and my wife both have iPhones and separate iTunes accounts. Is it possible to access both of our iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    I have been toying with the idea of purchasing an iPad 2. Me and my wife both have separate  iTunes accounts as we both have iPhones. I just wondered if it's possible to log into more than one iTunes account on one iPad, or if not would we have to set up a joint iTunes account?

    What you could do is have one of you with the main iTunes account and use home sharing to get access to your wife's iTunes music, etc.  my wife and I do this, but we each have our own iPads.

  • IPhone and iPad don't show up in Windows 7 iTunes

    Using iTunes 10.6.1.7 on my Windows 7 machine I can no longer see my iPhone or iPad when directly connected via USB (I can't see them wirelessly either but that's not the issue).
    I wish I could say when this started, but it's been at least a month and I don't normally connect either device to iTunes (because most of my music is already on the iPhone and because I use DropBox to transfer files to my iPad).  It doesn't appear related to anything new I've done in Windows myself (might have been automatic updates but nothing I've installed or changed in Windows).
    I DID try completely uninstalling iTunes using the procedures outlined by Apple (even manually editing directories to remove traces) and then installed the latest version of iTunes which works well (sees all my Airtune devices, for example) otherwise.  I can see the iPhone in Explorer all right, just not in iTunes.
    I've also tried disabling MacAfee AV and Firewall (there is no Windows firewall) with no luck.  I *did* install a new router a month ago but since my PC does see the iPhone in Explorer I can't see why that would be an issue.
    Any clues as to what to try next?  My fallback position is to use my Macbook Air to connect to iTunes (of course it always works) but since all my music is stored on the PC (with no way to store all that data on my Macbook Air) I'm rather screwed if I go that route.

    Sigh.  Now it seems to be working.
    The *only* thing I did was to go to the router and open up port 3689 (for iTunes sharing) and reboot my machine.  Now, I'm skeptical this had anything to do with "fixing" anything because my wife's computer (also using the same router) syncs just fine with her iPhone and always has.  Now, it's true she's on Win XP, but opening a port on a router (following a VERY old article that Apple said was no longer supported) for iTunes sharing doesn't seem like it would do much in the way of letting me see my iPhone (except that it did).
    (I opened up the port because I was thinking that perhaps my Macbook Air could sync my iPhone IF I could link it to my PC iTunes library -- that's when I found out I couldn't share it until I did the above and then suddenly all started working fine).
    All of this crap makes me feel like the very old man I am (it really shouldn't be this difficult).  But thanks for listening.
