  • Iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it

    iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

  • Computer does not recognize Iphone 4 is plugged in to USB. Can't transfer pictures.

    My HP laptop always use to recognize my Iphone 4 then all of the sudden stopped. I have been trying to transfer pictures and it does not see that any device or camera is plugged in to it like it use to. I have VISTA on my computer. When I go to My Computer it doesnt show anything is even plugged into the USB port. I tried all 3 ports on the laptop. The Windows help assistant talks about needing a driver..basically a software disc to load any new divice onto the computer. How would I get a driver for the Iphone?? I never needed that before. I could just plug it in and I would get the pop up asking if I wanted to transfer my pictures, etc.  This is so annoying!  I do back up to I Cloud as well.

    Hi..Yes, I Tunes is installed on the computer. I sync with it no problem. I am trying to get the pictures from my Iphone onto my computer. When I use to plug the phone in I would get a pop up from Windows saying do you want to transfer pics to computer, do you want them to erase off phone once transfered, etc. Now I do not get the pop up. It is like the computer no longer recognizes that my Iphone is plugged in. Technically the pics are on my computer in the Photo Stream folder..but I want to actually transfer them off the phone. I have tried to turn off Photo Stream and I cloud but it does not help. The computer still does not recognize the phone plugged into the USB. If I go to "add a printer, scanner or camera" on the computer..it does not see it either. That is where it talks about having a driver to set up a new hardware device. I have 900 pics on my phone that I do not want to have to delete one by one...and I want to make sure they are downloaded. I also have videos that I want to download to the computer either and those are no where to be found..not even in the Photo Stream folder. I appreciate any help!

  • After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

    After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
    I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
    Please help with this problem
    Thanks
    TOM

    You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
    The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

    my itunes 9.2 (mac osx 10.4.11) does not recognize iphone 4s

    Since you're running iTunes 9.2, your Mac has a G4 or better CPU. You need to purchase and install Mac OS X 10.5(G4 or G5) or Mac OS X 10.6(Intel) from a DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are free for paid MobileMe members.

  • Laptop does not recognize IPHONE

    My computer does not recognize my IPHONE when I hook them up via usb cable. My laptop makes a weird noise, itunes does not open, and the phone does not charge. Any idea on what I can do to resolve this issue.

  • LR 4 on OSX 10.8 does not recognize iPhone

    Ever since upgrading my Macbook Pro to 10.8 LR 4 does not recognize my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) on the import menue.
    No problem with iTunes, same problem with iPhoto. Help anyone?
    Gabriel

    Just saw your reply. I am not sure what you are suggesting.
    I have the following in my Mac Harddrive/Library/Image Capture/Devices folder:
    Canon IJScanner2
    Canon IJScanner4
    EPSON Scanner
    HP M1130_M1210 Scanner
    However, the icon for the last mentioned is different. It does not have the Image Capture icon. It simply has the generic application icon (two white papers with an "A" formed out of a ruler, a pencil and a brush). I doubt that the icon makes a difference, but it is what I observe.
    The permissions for the first three and the last are identical.
    The file sizes for all the files are in the same size range (except for EPSON, which is much bigger).
    I should reiterate that I am using the Lion version drivers on Mavericks (just upgraded from Mountain Lion yesterday). Those are the newest drivers for this MFP.

  • Windows does not recognize iPhone 5S as device

    Hallo,
    For the past two weeks, my Windows 7 does not recognize my iPhone 5S as a device. This means I cannot download any media content captured with the device.
    I have already followed the instructions posted on several Apple community topics re this issue, specifically the ones on checking the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When connecting the phone, the Apple USB driver does show as a bus controller. I've checked for updates, and it shows that I have the latest version and that the bus controller functions correctly. The phone is also picked up by iTunes, although iTunes doesn't not start automatically like before. I'm using an Apple cable. Still, the device is not picked up by Windows.
    Can anyone help, please?

    Did you check all of the steps in this support document iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows especially the ones about the Apple USB driver installation? Did you try removing and reinstalling iTunes as suggested and outlined in this support document? Make sure you follow those steps exactly.

  • Windows 'My Computer'does not recognize iPhone?

    When I connect my iPhone 3GS to me Dell Windows 7 laptop 'My Computer' does not recognise the phone at all whereas iTunes does. The system just opens an error window saying "Device Driver software was not successfully installed. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Or of any other way to get my pictures off of my phone?
    Also, when my partners 3GS is plugged in, he just recieves an error message saying USB Device could not be recognized, neither iTunes nor windows recognizes it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause.  Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Computer does not recognize iPhone 4s?

    I got my iPhone 4s back in October, and it worked just fine when syncing with iTunes and all that.  Recently however, like in the last 3 weeks or so, whenever I try to plug it into the computer, my computer won't recognize it.  It dings like I've inserted a USB, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer" or iTunes, and does not charge.  I have tried two different cords.  I tried plugging it in on my dad's Macbook, and it was recognized immediately, so I don't think it is the phone.  I followed all the steps listed on the Apple technical website, and nothing has worked.  I've restarted my phone, reset my phone, updated iTunes and restarted my computer, but to no avail.  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 and am running Windows 7.  It charges just fine when plugged into the wall using the same cord.  Other USB's work fine when plugged into the computer.  Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

    You might need to uninstall iTunes and all its components as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this article (installing all the components in the prescribed order) or it will not work.  Note: uninstalling iTunes only removes the application.  It won't touch your iTunes library or data.

  • Computer does not recognize iphone

    I have the latest version of I tunes and Windows XP so should be able to activate my new iphone, however when I plug it into the USB drive nothing happens, the computer does not even acknowledge the phone. I know the USB drive is working becuase I just synced my ipod. Any ideas?

    You must have iTunes v 7.5 for the iPhone. If you have not upgraded recently you should do that.
    The iPhone also requires a new service, AppleMobileDeviceService. This is installed by the v 7.5 installer normally. You should verify that it is running in the Task Manager.
    If it is not you can go to Control Panel/Administrative Tasks/Services. You should find it there (the entries are alphabetical), right click on it and select Start if it is not already running. If it fails to start your andivirus may be blocking it.

  • Unable to sync with computer. does not recognize Iphone and wants me to restore factory settings. Tried restoring several times in past but problem persists.

    Unable to sync iphone4. iphone not recognized. wants me to restore factory settings. I've done that several times and problem persists.This has been an issue sunce buying the phone.

    Hello @dazegoneby,
    I understand that your HP Pavilion p6-2220t Desktop PC running Windows 7 used to connect to your home network without an issue, but recently it does not recognise the network. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7), which has steps to help resolve issues such as this. Now I am not recommending that you do the step that asks you to reset up your router as you have other devices that are working fine so that would not be the issue.
    If the above document does not resolve your issue could you please re-post with either a screen shot of your Device Manager showing what is listed in Network Adapters or re-post with which wireless card you have.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

    I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
    Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
    Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
    However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
    And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help  because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
    Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

  • Windows does not recognize iPhone

    Hi
    After I upgraded my iPhone to iOS8 it won't recognized by pc ( windows 7 , 64 bit ) as portable device . I did every thing to resolve that like update iTunes , update diver , delete some photos , restart pc and iPhone , using troubleshoot , check usb cable , removing programs which I recently installed , check usb port but the problem does not resolved . iTunes recognize iPhone but not pc . I try another pc and there wasn't any problem on that pc . Please tell me what can I do ?
    thanks

    So just for reference, the problem has been solved. I don't know what changed, but tonight when I connected my phone, Windows tried to run the "found new hardware wizard." I can't explain why. I hadn't changed any settings since last night when I connected and reconnected my phone at least a dozen times. The only thing I did between then and now was shut down.
    Anyhow, when the Wizard started, I remembered a tip I had found here several months ago when I was having a similar problem with my iPod. I directed Windows to search for drivers in C:\WINDOWS\inf. The wizard found whatever it needed in that directory and now my PC recognizes my iPhone as a camera.
    Can't explain what changed, but go figure. Thank you Windows for being as inscrutable as ever.
