  • ITunes 10.5.0.142 does not recognize my iPhone 3GS

    My PC is running Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit OS.  My iTunes and iPhone syncing has been flaky since I began using this machine in July, 2011 but was working.  However, now iTunes does not recognize my iPhone at all.  Previously I was able to force a sync by opening iTunes and then plugging in the phone, but now that is no longer working.  The iPhone is recognized by the computer as it does charge, I can see it as a device in Window's Explorer and it asks what I would like to do with the photos / videos. 
    Here is the latest info on what is installed for each device:
    - iTunes:  10.5.0.142
    - iPhone:  OS 5.0.1, Firmware 05.16.05
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Feel free to ask further questions as I'm not exactly sure what other information to provide at the present time; I'm pretty much at a loss right now. 
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I have a 16Gb iPhone 3GS ios v 4.2.1 with iTunes v 10.5, yet when I connect the phone it tells me there are no updates available. I have 2 iPads, an iMac and a Macbook pro - all of which have upgraded successfully. I thought ios5 was available for the 3GS iPhone. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Mac Pro all of the sudden does not recognize my TV

    Hey Everyone
    I just got a 13 in MBP and have been connecting it to my TV using the mini display port and hdmi cable. Everything has been great for the past month until today. I was gonna steam a movie from my MBP to TV but my TV screen stayed black after I connected all the cables. I checked under System Preferences > Display and Audio to see if my MBP was recognizing the TV and it was not. Could anyone help me out? I have been stumped for the past half hour and need some help.
    Thanks

    I have reset my iphone and made sure all updates have been done on my macbook pro and iphone. It was after updating my macpro that I plugged in my phone and went to itunes to backup phone and can't see the device anywhere! I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!

  • HT1199 I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

    The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • HT1386 I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed.  My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

    I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed.  My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

    If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • HT201269 My computer does not recognize my iphone 5, or my two ipods.  Is there any easy fix?

    Suddenly, my New Dell PC desktop does not recognize my iphone 5 or either of my ipods.  I have downloaded the most recent itunes software.  My iphone and ipod software is all up to date.  I suspect the PC needs a setting adjustment. My device manager indicates that all of my usb ports are functional.  Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

  • Windows does not recognize my iphone name, but itunes does

    This is a reqpost of another forum on diff site, but is the exact same problem i have~
    After the IOS5 update~  and and updating two phones on same computer~
    I have windows 7 x64bit, and the problem is it does not recognize my iPhone's name anymore.. in itunes it shows the correct name but when ever i look at My Computer listed under portable devices the name is wrong instead of being Louie's iPhone it shows Kim's iPhone (My Fiancees iPhone).. i can still access it and get my pictures and stuff but the name of the device is just wrong.. so im hoping you guys know how to solve this problem.. this only started happening when i installed iOS 5...
    so to sum it up..
    iTunes... Louie's iPhone
    Windows... Kim's iPhone
    here are the things I already did but did not work...
    ... uninstalled everything apple, rebooted and reinstalled.
    ... restored my iPhone as new 3x and still nothing....
    I am at a lost here.. so please help me guys? i know you can solve this coz sinful has never failed me before

    In Windows 7, it is not possible to change the name by right-clicking and selecting properties! It doesn't work...
    The only solution that worked was to search the registry for the incorrect name and adjust it by hand, which strikes me as a pretty ****** solution! Better would be that the Apple USB driver would just use a neutral name like "iPhone". Which makes me wonder what would happen if two iPhones are connected at the same time: how can they be told apart in the "Computer" application?

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs. 

  • My computer does not recognize my iphone

    I am frustrated!  My computer (which I just restored from an older time machine version and got mountain lion on, does not recognize my iphone now.  I'm not sure what is going on, but I need to figure it out because I have a new iphone 5 that I am ready to plug in, but want to make sure the latest version of my phone is on my computer.

    Mac, Windows, Linux?
    If you have Windows, make sure you have run Windows Update, reboot, or turn off your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that is blocking the device.  The last one is what was stopping my iPod from talking to iTunes.
