  • Itunes wont read iphone, thinks it's a digital camera...help

    I dont know what happened, but when I first got my PC with vista 64, and had itunes installed with the iphone, everything worked. 3 days ago I reformatted my drives and reinstall windows and all my programs. I got itunes working with all my music and whatnot, but when I plug my iphone in to toss music on it, itunes wont read it. Windows knows it's there, but everytime I plug it in, the lower right hand corner the "windows is installing new driver blah blah" pops up, and then get an error message saying it couldnt install the driver. I go to device manager and windows thinks it's a digital camera. I did the whole update driver with the "c:\windows\system32\drivestore\usbaapl_" thing, and I got this message:
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    (usb icon) Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    The system cannot find the file specified."
    I have been googling the crap out of this and I am at wit's end with this. I've uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, cleaned registry, wiped all apple programs from the PC, anything google told me to, hahaha. Serious, I cant find any forum or web article to help me past this point. Please help...

    I think I got it. I've had the same problem as you and many others. I went to device manager and found iPhone under imaging devices. Here's what I did:
    Right-click -> properties -> driver tab -> update drivers (launches Hardware Update Wizard) select...
    No, not this time (next) Install from a list ... (next) Don't search ... (next) Now there should be two choices under model. Select the Apple Mobile Device. This is not digitally signed so you'll get warnings but continue. When I did this iTunes picked up my iPhone right away.

  • Itunes wont recognize iphone

    can anyone seriously help me. i tried EVERYTHIN. itunes wont open my iphone. only the fotos pop up and then its done, i tried everythin. its driving e crazy. its was fine till 3 days ago. i come back from a work trip and its all gone. i even did a full reset, and lost everything. im sooo upset now. can anyone help. thanks. i have latest itunes, reistalled, and did everythin else.

    So i started having this same issue with my Powerbook G4 - setups a time with a Genius today and well after a reboot of the Mac and a reset of the iPhone everything was good BUT!!!!!!
    make sure in itunes you have in the Summary of your iPhone, under Options - the check box next to auto sync -
    The Genius asked do you use your computer to charge, NO then you really would only need it to sync, so there you go.
    works great now
    thanks

  • ITunes wont recognize iPhone 4

    Downloaded the new iTunes (12.0.1.26) and try to sync my new music with iTunes but my iPhone 4 (iOS 7) wont even come up in itunes! It comes up on my computer (windows 8) and i can browse photos etc through that route. I have tried running itunes diagnostics and no luck. This has only started to happen with the new itunes update. After plugging it into my laptop, my iphone says do you want to trust this computer and i click trust and it then disconnects the iPhone and reconnects it itself.

    Hi ..
    You may need to disable your anti virus software prior to clicking, "trust".

  • New itunes wont sync iphone

    i had to get a new hardrive which has wiped off my itunes i redownloaded it but now it wont sync songs i have put on my itunes to my iphone, it syncs it but nothing goes on it, what do i do?

    For managing audio and video contents of the iPod and iPhone you can find some lighter and faster alternatives to iTunes. An overview of some iPod managers can be found here: [IPod/iPhone/iPad To Computer Transfer & Backup Software Reviews|http://iphoneipodipadreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/ipodiphoneipad-transf er-backup-software.html]

  • Itunes wont detect iphone 4s

  • Itunes wont recognize iphones 4s

    I just got my iphone 4s through virgin mobile.  I have tried reinstalling itunes, updating my iphone, restarting it, restarting my computer and itunes still wont show my iphone.  I am not sure what else to do from here and not really getting any help from what I see on google.
    Thanks

    This problem is probably down to one of three problems.
    1) Have you tried using a different cable? I know that it seems unlikely that you have a faulty cable but that could be the problem - do try a different cable.
    2) Have you tried using a different USB port when pluggin in your iphone cable? Sometimes, for various reasons, a particular USB port gets hung up and just plugging a device into a different port can solve the problem.
    3) If (1) or (2) don't solve the problem then it might be that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is not installed on your computer. You can find the device driver (along with the suggestions to solve this problem) using this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US . Number 5, gives you links to the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    Good luck with these and do report back.

  • ITunes wont recognize iPhone 5

    Alright, I've had this problem for a while now, and I'm at my wit's end. Hope someone can help me.
    First of all, I'm running Windows 8.0 on a Lenovo, using iTunes 11.1.5, and an iPhone on iOS 7.0.6.
    Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there. On top of that, every time I plug in, my phone gives me the same "Trust this computer?" prompt, like it doesnt recognize the computer I told it to trust 5 seconds ago. A couple times, I got lucky and iTunes dignified me with a "An iPhone has been detected, but could not be identified properly." prompt. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile device driver, updating everything, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iphone settings, but nothing works. Any ideas?

    Having the exact same problem with my iPhone 4S.
    This started happening right after upgrading iTunes to 11.1.5 - never encountered this issue before.
    Tried doing the same thing you mentioned above with no luck at all.

  • ITunes wont detect iPhone 4

    Hey,
    I just got my iPhone in the mail today and unpacked it and plugged it into my computer and it installed a drive as normal and then it showed it was connected to my computer, So I open up iTunes and my iPhone 4 seems to not of been detected by iTunes.
    My computer is calling the device "Apple iPhone, Digital Camera" which I guess shows that my cable is fine and it will connect but its a problem with iTunes?
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, is there anything I can try.
    Things I have done:
    Restarted Computer
    Un-installed iPhone driver and re-installed it.
    I am out of options, Hope someone can help.

    I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
    Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.
    Also make sure Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service are running (Administrative Utilities>Services). If they are, might restart them anyway.

  • Itunes wont detect iphone 5 and it just keeps vibrating

    im trying to connect my iphone to itunes, and now it says it cant be detected. I synced some songs into it two nights ago,and now it wont work. i've been googling stuff for 2 hours and nothing helps. i've uninstalled and installed itunes, turned off my computer and back on. I've reset my phone like 2 times, and still nothing. When i plug it in, you see the little lightning bolt next to the battery then it disappears, and it just keeps vibrating or beeping. I'm not using an apple usb cord, but that's not the problem because like i mentioned earlier, i used it two nights ago. please help.

    Hey alevsqz!
    I have an article for you here that outlines some troubleshooting steps that I believe will be relevant for resolving this issue:

  • New itunes wont recognise iphone

    recently had a virus on my computer so i wped everything. Re-installed itunes but now my phone wont sync because itunes doesnt even detect that its plugged in. Also will everything on my phone get wiped as the new itunes has nothng on it yet as i cleaned my whole system after it was infected. Please somebody HELP!

    Yes, your iphone will be wiped.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back on your computer.
    You can try reinstalling itunes on top of the current itunes to address the recognition problem.
