Iphone 4 is not recognized by Windows Vista

everyting was working great! iTunes recognoized the phone, synching was fine then...
the iphone is not recognized by Vista, no drivers are present in Device manager and the iphone does not even USB charge when plugged in to the PC.
I've reistalled iTunes but the drivers still do not show up.
I've tried to find the drivers on the Apple site but cannot find them.
Help!

I have had the same problem two times with two different iphones (3gs and 4). After spending more than 1 hour on the phone with apple support, the only thing that worked was using windows xp on another computer to update ios. The funny thing is that when updating to 4.1 I again used Vista and it worked. I suspect it is a firewall problem but don't know how to solve. If you update using xp you can go back and return all your apps, photos, etc from Vista, just make sure you backup before using xp.

IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution

During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
Here is a possible solution.
I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
Here is what I did:
1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
Good luck.

if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far.

Ipod touch not recognized in windows vista.

i tried to update the driver like it said in the link u sent me(i have windows vista) but when i was going to update it it said "windows found driver software from your device but encountered an error while attemting to install it(ive tried a few times with the same result) This device cannot start.(Code 10)" and after this i was forced to close the program

Ipod not recognized my Windows vista or itunes

I have an older click wheel ipod (2004) and I recently got a new computer with vista. Since then I have not been able to sync my ipod because it does not register as being connected. All of the songs I had on it worked just fine through the head phones and the dock, and so in my desperation (following the 5 Rs) I tried to restore it. I synced my ipod with a mac and it restored just fine, then I synced it with my pc and it actually recognized it?!! I went through the restore, and that worked, but I could not transfer songs to it. I just went from having a mostly working ipod, to one that seems to work with no songs on it. Arrgh. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Do either of these help?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
Is the software up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, if you have a 4G iPod, why post in the iPod nano forums?

IPhone not recognized by windows vista 64 bit

Hello, I use vista home premium 64 bit and I used to be able to sync both my iPod shuffle and iPhone 3GS in iTunes.
My pc does not recognize either device and there seems to be no USB mass storage device in device manager.
I have reinstalled iTunes , updated any drivers and such with no luck.
I have reinstalled vista and still can't get things to work.
Both devices are recognize by all of other pc I have access to such as a friends , work pc , moms laptop, etc.
Those pc use either xp or windows 7. Maybe it's just a vista issue but as I said before. It used to work just fine with vista.
I am at a loss as to why my own pc won't recognize these devices.

Ipod not recognized in windows vista nor in itunes

İ need help. İ have tried the 5 r's. Since neither my computer nor itunes will recognize my ipod*, İ can not complete the restore. İ have downloaded the update from vista, still to no avail. İ don't know what else to do. since one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same results, after hours of going through all the steps again and agian, this **** ipod is driving me insane.
* İ have had two brief periods when itunes did recognize my ipod unexpectedly. on those two occasions, it began the sync, but got stuck on a couple of music files and then would not complete the sync, leaving only two songs on my ipod to listen to. İ tried deleting those files it seemed to get stuck on, but then, it(itunes nor my computer) has never recognized my ipod since.

I have a suggestion on that, Cindy.
I've had a couple of friends that own a Gateway. And they've experienced the same problem, hence the fact(I Think) because the drivers for the USB that are installed with Vista are outdated,
but I don't think thats the case since the Gateway has all of its devices (USB ports) running correctly.
My next thought would be to do what I did:
A few months back I realized I cannot have my Ipod and any External HDD Connected simultaniously, since it seems that there are confilcts if I connected them together.
In other words, try temporarly copying your Music folder into your PC( if you have a good amount of space, then try going to Itunes>Edit>Preferences>Advanced
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
THere you'll see that itunes has a preset or default Itunes Music Folder location, Set it to the folder that you copied(if you were able to) which contains the music.
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
Hope this Helps!!

5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes

OK here's a humdinger: my ipod used to be recognized by my computer (meaning Windows XP), but then abruptly stopped in a catastrophic meltdown that completely wiped my ipod of everything -- didn't even show the menu. Fastforward, ipod is replaced. Windows will still not recognize it -- most of the time. The toolbar says USB device detected and hardware installed and ready to use, but the message that it's not recognized by Windows still appears. Now I said it was recognized sometimes. When it magically is (this is my only description for it because there is no apparent reason), and this is rare, usually after the computer has been turned off for awhile, the ipod will sync through about a fifth of my library then quit. The "disc cannot be found" message appears, and Windows stops recognizing and I'm back to square one. One would think that I now at least have a fifth of my songs on the ipod. Nope, just one for each time this has happened (being 2). Please do not respond with anything having to do with updating or uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, disabling USB 2.0, searching for E:\ drive, Windows Update, the whole appleipod.bat thing, updating itunes, or scanning for new hardware as I have tried these and a few other solutions. I'm just wondering if I'm completely, well, you know. Thanks for your time.
