My phone has stopped being recognised by my computer help??

It's been a couple of days since I've synced my iPhone 5 and I've just tried and my pc doesn't even recognise my phone. I've tried rebooting my phone, using different USB ports and I've reinstalled iTunes but still no joy. I'm running windows 8 on my PC so I'm guessing thats the reason but I'm stumped as to what to do. Can anyone help??
Cheers

Well, Microsoft and Apple have not said they are fully supporting Windows 8, but as you know, it will work. You may need to uninstall iTunes again, but make sure you do it in accordance with this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 if you didn't do it that way before.
You can go into iTunes, Edit, Preferences, Devices and Reset the sync history. Other than that, there isn't much that can be done. The USB drivers for the phone are contained in the iTunes download.

IPOD Touch has stopped being recognised on my computer

My iPOD Touch has linked to my iTunes sucessfully for a year or two until last week when it stopped being recognised. It is recognised when I plug it into my daughter's computer, and when I did this the iPOD software successfully updated.
Also my other daughter's iPOD Nano is recognised on MY computer.
I have re-installed iTunes and updated all USB drivers but problem persists.
The iPOD does appear as a connected peripheral on my computer.
I have tried re-setting/restoring the iPOD Touch. It has only gone into Restore mode a couple of times and iTunes starts downloading. However, nothing happens subsequently except an Apple Mobile Device has stopped working message appears.
Can anyone help?

I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
Any further help much appreciated.

CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognised by Satellite A100-01G

I have a Satellite A100-01G but the CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognised by the machine.
I have Vista ultimate as the O/S.
Please help
Thank you

Hi
Did you check in the device manager if the CD/DVD drive appears correctly?
Please check this!!!
As further action I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device manger a reboot the notebook.
The Windows OS should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and reboot.
Good luck

Ipod min has stopped being recognised

My ipod mini was installed on my windows XP and tunes bought/downloaded from itunes. Six months later and computer has stopped recognising ipod. Message says to "reset" or "restore" and only the restore option (with subsequent loss of songs) can be activated.
Need suggestions to ensure that original PC recognises ipod.
Posible cause of problem: ipod was connected to a Mac to download songs from a friend's itunes (no songs bought).
Thanks!

My ipod touch has stopped being recognised by itunes following trying to download a book from audible. It sees it as a camera

Can anyone help me? My ipod touch has stopped syncrinising with itunes following a download from audible. It seems to be recognised as a camera. The ipod sign dows not come up in the left hand side of itunes.

6. ipod lead instead of cradle and other USB ports
6. everything else suggested on the help and support centre

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

Communicator Plugin Stopped being recognised

Hi all
The Garmin Communicator plugin has been working fine on Safari up til now but it just suddenly stopped being recognised on Safari.
It can be tested here:
http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/test/
It is recognised on Firefox and Camino.
It's working in Safari on my wife's laptop.
We're both using Safari 4.0.2 but the problem started while using 4.0.1 (it did work under that version previously)
I've reinstalled the plugin and still same problem.
If I open a new user account the problem persists there also.
I've repaired permisssions too.
I'd love some advice as i'm bewildered
Thanks in advance
M

No luck
Deleted:
~/library/safari
~/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
and no joy
Any idea where the plugins are located and where they are referenced by safari?
The plugin itself is clearly ok as: works on my wife's machine (same setup) and works under firefox and camino on mine.
So it's a system level safari issue i think...
Help...!

My ipod nano 2nd generation stopped being recognised in itunes. using windows 8, all our other ipods are fine

My ipod nano 2nd gen just stopped being recognised in itunes. I'm using windows 8.1..and not had any problems with ipod touch 5th generation or nano 7th gen.
The ipod charges up as indicated by the battery icon but not being recognised at all in itunes or as a connected device or drive on my PC. was working fine the day before then just stopped. I can still listen to the ipod but obviously not load on new songs as not being recognised.

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get it serviced. Sounds like the headphone jack has failed.

My iPad stopped being recognised by Windows 7

My iPad 1 recently stopped being recognised by Windows 7. It makes the bing-bong noise when I plug it in and the 'Not charging' notice comes up, but the 'Apple USB device' no longer appears in Device Manager and iTunes (latest version) does not recognise it, so I can't sync or backup. It used to work perfectly, but stopped working about a week ago.
My details:
iPad 1 64GB 3G
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
iTunes 10.2.2
Things I've tried:
Different USB ports
Different cables
Hard-restarting the iPad and the PC
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
I followed all the steps in that article and it still doesn't recognise my iPad.
The symptoms are that when I plug the iPad into a USB port, Windows does not find it at all. Usually you get the Windows 'bing-bong' sound effect and Device Manager refreshes itself as it finds the device, then you'd expect to see 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the list under Universal Serial Bus Controllers (I think, from memory).
However, Windows detects nothing at all. What's even stranger is that the iPad is clearly receiving some power as I get the iPad 'plugged-in' sound effect and the battery status changes to 'Not charging' as I would expect.
So I've removed iTunes and all associated software, restarted, reinstalled from a fresh copy from apple.com...now I'm out of ideas. I've tried two USB cables and four different USB ports.
Thanks,
Steve

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit. I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared. Then, multiple contacts started disappearing. Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate. I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync. I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in. Everything seemed to work after that.

Process com.android.phone has stopped...

I received a message saying I need to clear some space on my phone to receive any further messages. Then I started receiving error messages the first one says Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. This pops up repeatedly non-stop. I can't place calls, get into any apps, I really can't do anything. If I restart the phone I get the error message System UIDs Inconsistent with the only option to click "I feel lucky".
I tried putting the phone in safe mode, but the same error message keeps popping up, it still says my phone is low on memory, and I can't do anything with my phone.
What do I do?? Please help!

Hey there trinarose!
I know how much of a burden it can be to get an error on your phone like this! I want to help you out. It sounds like there is a corrupt file on the device. At this point what I would recommend is a master reset of the device. Take a look at the steps here http://bit.ly/OgmMQm. Please remember to save all your information prior to erasing the phone. Please let us know if you're still having issues with this.
Thanks!
