  • TS1538 iTunes (since update to 10) no longer recognises any of my Apple devices.

    I've followed all the troubleshooting and reached the point where I've discovered the AMD USB Driver is not located in "USB Controllers" but when I open "Imaging Devices" it's listed there, not showing Apple iPhone as a device anywhere.  What should I do?  Thanks for any help out there.

    I had the same issue and searched for about 6 hrs for a fix. I have Windows XP. Almost gave up and then I found and tried this and it worked for my new Iphone 5 I picked up yesterday! Hope it works for you as well:
    1. Right click on "My Computer" and select "Manage"
    2. In the left pane select "Device Manager"
    3. In the right window, expand "Imaging Devices" or similar imaging category
    4. You should see "Apple Camera" or something similar.
    5. Right click on the "Apple Camera" and select "Update Driver"
    6. Select second option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", click next
    7. Check the box labeled "Include this location in the search"
    8. Copy and paste this path into the folder line - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    9. Click "Next"
    Windows should now locate the necessary USBAAPL driver to run the Iphone or device and enable it's detection in Itunes

  • I can see my wi-fi with windows computer, but NOT with any of my apple devices

    I cannot see my wi-fi with any Apple device, but AM able to use my non-Apple comupter

    That is a reversal of note.. normally people are struggling to get their windoze boxes to work.
    Reset the Airport to factory and start over.
    Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Leave off the wireless security until you confirm it works... then add wpa2 personal security with a 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    You can also try fixing wireless channels.. test 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz in that order.

    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
    under Input highlight microphone.
    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
    If you get stock post back

    @Chris:
    I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
    I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
    of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

  • Cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes.

    Hi All
    I cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes. Initially after connecting the device I would receive an unable to sync error, but I have since reinstalled iTunes and when I connect either my iPhone (I have an iPhone 5 and an iPhone5s, both of which happily connected in the past) or iPad mini, iTunes does not even see the devices (the devices are listed under preferences).
    My iOS is up to date on all devices and I have tried different USB ports and cables, but no difference.
    I am running WIndows 8 with all updates to date. I have Vipre Security, but turning off the firewall makes no difference and I can see that all Apple connections are available and not blocked. I have checked Apple Mobile Device and stopped and started services
    I haven't been able to connect for almost a month now, so would appreciate some help.
    I have already contacted support and was given information on how to check my WifI connection - not particularly useful!

    but I have since reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • HT204053 Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id.  do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

    Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id.  do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

    There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

  • HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

    In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
    I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help.  Expect to pay for it.

  • Laptop doesn't recognise any plugged in usb devices

    laptop doesn't recognise any plugged in usb devices
    HP laptop G6000

    I went to the BIOS to check the power feature settings. Here's what I have set with the BIOS-offered explanation for each option:
    - ACPI BIOS IRQ--> *IRQ9*  [This field controls what IRQ the Advanced Configuration & Power Interface (ACPI) will use.]
    - ACPI Standby mode--> *S1*  [Select which power level your system goes to during standby. If S1 is selected, power is maintained to all devices but all processor activity is halted. If S3 is selected, power is maintained only for the main memory. Exit from the S3 state may not be supported by all installed adapters.]
    - Hard disk timeout--> *Enabled*  [Allows HDDs connected to the system board to automatically enter low power mode after a period of inactivity (about 20 minutes). HDD adapters may not support this function.]
    - After power loss--> *Power on*  [Select "Power on" if you use a power strip to turn the system on.]
    Yesterday I think I changed one of the above but it didn't help the problem with the detection of plugged-in USB devices.
    Today I turned off (disabled) Wake on LAN. This didn't help either: after plugging in one or more USB devices, I still have to open Konsole and run lsusb to wake up the system which then detects the already plugged-in USB device(s) and asks me what I want to do, what app I want to use to read or use the plugged-in USB device. This of course is only a minor annoyance-- maybe I'll never figure out or learn why this problem has been happening in my recently acquired older (2005-built) IBM ThinkCenter desktop tower.
    Do you still want to see the output of # lsusb -v  ?? Tell me where on the web I can post the long output of that command. [The output won't fit in this space-limited reply form.] Also, any more ideas on what could be wrong?

    Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
    You have two computers?
    iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
    Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
    Yes, that tends to delete everything.
    Or you restored everything from a backup?
    Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
    Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Make sure you are signed in.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
    Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .
