Ive tried all the steps apple suggested and my iphone still isnt showing up in itunes. It comes up as a camera not an iphone

i bought a iphone yesterday and its not showing up on itunes after doing everything apple said. i found the iphone on the pc  its just that it windows XP think its a camera. please help!

Its a normal behavior that your OS find your iPhone as a camera because it is; that's the way to copy the pictures you took with your iPhone.
Do you actually open iTunes and look at the left side column in the Devices section for the sync options?

    i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

  • My ipod 3g wont allow me to restore to factory because my brother forgot the passode and ive tried all the steps on other questions what do i do it wont work.

    my brother set a passcode on his ipod and forgot what it was, ive tried all the things other questions ask and a pop up comes and says cannot regester the ipod without unlocking it, what do i do????? anyone know

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I plug my iPhone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes.  Ive tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works.  My iPhone doesnt appear on iTunes or under "my computer." Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • TS1389 What if I have done all the steps apple says, and I still can't authorize my computer to play certain purchased songs

    I followed all the steps on the apple page, and just a few of the songs I just purchased cannot be authorized for some reason.  It keeps prompting me, and I keep entering my password and it says this computer is already authorized.  ARG! 
    Weirdly, when I look at the info of the songs, some list my name as "Purchased by", but the songs I can't play don't have a "Purchased By" line, but all songs show the correct "Account Name"

    They were purchased by another Apple ID.
    If you are not sure what other Apple IDs you may have, go to appleid.apple.com and click on the link that says "Find your Apple ID".
    You are needing to authorize the Apple ID that those other songs were purchased under.

  • Havent Recieved my iphone 6 plus yet. My expected date was the 31st of October and yet it still isnt here. When should it come?

    I ordered around october 15th and the shipping date was the 31st. It is now the 17th of november and it hasnt come yet. Why? and When should it come?

    Sandy,  We are ALL aware of how to check our status and that updates "should be emailed to the email provided".  Don't you think IF there were updates on our status and emails with useful information we wouldn't all be asking about updates???  We ordered our phones on 10/19/14 with an expected ship date of 11/14/14.  My order status hasn't changed since the day we ordered and NO email updates have been received (and yes, I've check my junk folder).  If we could just have up to date information, it would help.  I know Verizon is at the mercy of Apple's production of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus, but not giving your customers (and NEW customers such as my husband and I (we can't even create an account because we don't have a Verizon phone number yet) up to date information is more than a little frustrating.  Every reply to these threads from a Verizon rep says the SAME thing...they give a link to the order status and tell us to watch our email.  I'm begining to believe these are just computer generated replys. 

  • My iPad 2 is not recognised by iTunes. I have tried all the steps as mentioned by the support communities. I have spent lot of time trying to diagnose the problem but no success yet. I need immediate help. I have my laptop with windows XP.

    I have tried all the steps as suggested by the community partners i.e. uninstall/reinstall itunes (number of times). If I plug my ipad 2 on my office PC which has itunes, it is recognised immediately. My lap top does not show 'NEW HARDWARE FOUND" as iPad. It just says new hardware found and shows scanner and camera hardware recognised. In my opinion there could be programme file which is having conflict with ipad 2 recognisation. I am surprised to find that APPLE has not yet come out with straightforward steps for stting up procedures to avoid this recognition issue. It is waste of time and causing lot of aggravation among iPad 2 purchasers.

    Sounds like it could be your computer and not Apple. Sounds like some registry issues and/or other underlying problems.
    What are your computer specs? Year? Manufacturer? RAM? Processor (type & speed, # of cores), OS (32 bit? 64 bit? Professional? Standard?)

    My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

  • TS1389 I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer.  I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy.  Anyone have any ideas what i can do next?  Thanks  Pa

    Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
    This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
    My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac,  MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
    Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
    EX: left"
    Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
    2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
    3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
    4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
    EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
    Enjoy!

  • HT201240 Ive tried all the Command-s command-r and nothing is working. my macbook pro just keeps rebooting as normal. Ive forgotten my admin password, or have re-entered it incorrectly, and it won't let me downloads mavericks. No discs. HELP

    Ive tried all the shortcuts to do without start up discs, but it just keeps rebooting as normal..... Help. I cant download mavericks, Ive changed my apple id, and that didnt make any difference......

    Any reinstallation is not going to be successful if you have invalid node structure. You have bigger fish to fry here than worrying about DVD access.
    Mr Simpson wrote:
    The first step of this was to do a 'fsck -fy' and here it told me I had a 'disk0s2: I/0 error.' and 'Invalid node structure' and the volume check had failed.
    You also mention that the 10.6 disc would read from the DVD but not allow you into Disk Utility? What happened when you tried to access it? Was it selectable and then didn't do anything?
    We can't really narrow down whether it is the DVD or anything else at this time.
    If you don't have a backup of the information it is probably toast if you cannot get Disk Utility to work. I would normaly suggest DIsk Warrior but that is a $79 gamble if you are not sure if the drive is working or not. It may be your last hope to recover whatever you can from the drive.
    Also, what was the original OS installed on the machine before it crashed? Was it 10.6 or was it the 10.5.7 you mentioned?

    It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

  • HT1320 I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. What do I do then?

    I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. I've had this since February and just started having problems about a week ago after I charged it. Now I can sometimes get it to turn on but mostly it just stays off, I can't even reset it with it plugged in. I have noticed that it get really warm to the touch when it's plugged in and if I let it cool down I might have some luck but soon I have the same problems.
