My new Dell computer with windows 8, when I open my iTunes and plug my iPhone 5 in the computer does not see my phony, why?

Hi, Robert. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds or until Apple logo appears
    Make sure you have Itunes downloaded
    Make sure Itunes is the latest version
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

    Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
    Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

  • New Dell computer with Window XP not playing songs in iTunes

    Can someone help me? I just bought a new Dell with XP and iTunes won't play. The little diamond just sits there.

    Ahh.. They changed the Quicktime control panel in QuickTime 7.
    There's a couple settings you can mess with. You can toggle the Safe Mode (waveOut) on or off on the Audio Tab. Also, you can click the Select "Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button and change the default device under Sound Playback. One of those might solve the issue.
    But this whole problem is nearly always a consequence of having bad or old sound card drivers. Finding an update to the sound card drivers is usually the best way to go.

  • HELP!!!! My computer (macbook pro) updated software this morning, and when I plug my iphone (4s) in, imovie NO LONGER RECOGNIZES THE PHONE!

    I have movies on my phone I need to get off and into imovie to edit and get out by tomorrow! Can anyone help?
    When I look at the "import movies" on imovie, it only shows the "built in isight" as an option - and there are movies on my phone that I can see on there!

    Hello NicaFoodandFitness
    You will need to use either iPhoto or Image Capture to import in the videos then import them into iMovie. If they are in iPhoto, iMovie will have access to them.

  • New Dell pc with windows 7 and won't download itunes

    I just got a new Dell pc with windows professional 7 os and not able to download itunes.  Every time, I click download, nothing happens, nothing is downloading. Did all the windows updates and checked my security software to see it was blocking it.  Is there something not computable with windows 7?  Or is there something else that I need to download first?  Don't have much software on the pc yet.  Even tried connecting my iphone to pc and didn't bring up itunes either.

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer, should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. 

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Got a new computer and when I plug my Iphone in it says I this phone is already with another itunes library erase and replace.. I don't want to lose everything on my phone cuz there is nothing in my itunes

    My Computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Just got a new computer and when I plug my iphone into it to sync it says Ii can't because its already synced with another itunes I've logged into my itunes acc.) It says I must earse and replace with new itunes I don't want to lose everything on my phone by doing this is there anything else i ca do

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

    When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
    I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea.

  • Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari?  I used this a lot and really miss it!

    I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in?  I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer.  I really miss this capability!

    Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:
