My Windows 7 64Bit Computer doesn't recognize my iPhone4S

Just as the title states my computer here does not see or recognize my iPhone 4S. No matter what I have tried and done to get it to see and recognize my phone via my wireless network doesn't see it at all. I have forget this network, turned wifi off rebooted phone nothing at all with that, I have also did the http to auto thing and it doesn't work to see the phone, I have to plug phone into computer to have it update apps etc. It is very frustrating to have the phone not do what is expected of it. The only way I get to update phone is plugging into computer to update app etc. On the other hand my iPad is on the same wireless network and it can wifi sync from time to time without needing to plug it in.Also, I have noticed that in the lower right corner I do not get the sharing icon as when I do see it it seems to help update and log on to the wifi network of mine here. My wifes works fine she has windows vista home premium 64bit and has iphone 4s and everything for her works to sync wirelessly etc just my iphone is the only device that is have a difficult time getting recognized on the network. Please if someone can help or suggest something to make it work like it is suppose to I would like to hear them suggestions. Thanks in advance and hope to hear back from you all real soon.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

Computer doesn't recognize my Nano but does recognize my daughters.

I've been using the computer/Nano for over a year now. All of a sudden, the computer isn't recognizing my Nano. When I connect it, no drive is assigned although a new Mass USB Storage Device does appear in Device Manager.
I tried connecting my daughter's Nano to my computer and it is recognized. I reied connecting my Nano to my daughter's computer and it is recognized. It's just my Nano on my computer.
Any suggestions?

My computer doesn't recognize my Zen Creative Vision:M (30 GB) anymore

? I still use XP and I have this mp3-player for a year now and it has been working fine until yesterday. I ripped Stefani's first album and tried to drag one of her songs on my mp3-player, but the player couldn't handle the file it seemed. So it fell out, on, out, on and I just unplugged it. Then I plugged it back in, but ever since my computer doesn't recognize it (in the media explorer it also says it's not plugged in). The videos in my library also seemed to be missing all of the sudden (only the maps remained).. and?I re-installed every programm, including windows media player, and the only outcome of it is that my computer now labels it as a MTP Media Player. So now it does connect, but i still can't transfer files or get into the player's system.
It's strange, because many people have encountered this problem and the solutions seem to vary; one even solved it by simply re-installing WMP, which didn't work for me.
Help would be awesome, guys!

From the recovery screen do a Clean-up,reboot. If you have copies of all your music you may need to Format the player (do not choose reload firmware or anything like that)? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=

Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I had to do a system restore to get back the DVD drive.
I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.

Computer doesn't recognize my Zen Mozaic

I have a new Zen Mozaic MP3 player (about 2 months old). I have been using Windows Media player to transfer music from my PC (XP OS) to the player without any problems until now.
Now my computer doesn't recognize the MP3 player as being connected to the USB port. I uninstalled the Creative software that came with the player and then reinstalled and it didn't fix the problem. Also I've tried connecting other flash dri'ves and the computer recognizes them.... Also, shutting down and restarting the PC didn't help either.
Is anybody having this same issue?
Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if this will help but if you are not using the usb port that came with your player the computer may charge but not? reconize the player. At least that is what is happening with mine.
same as to what i was thinking. if this is really the case, i always do stick with its original accessories like the usb port.

My computer doesn't recognize my iphone as a device

My iPhone 4S is full and I don't want to buy more storage. I am trying to move the photos on my iPhone to my PC (Windows 7) but when I use my USB cable to connect the two devices, my computer doesn't recognize the iPhone as a device under "Hardware and Sound." It does, however, realize that it's connected to iPhone when I dig around in the Control Panel tab. iTunes thinks I need to reconfigure my phone (sorry, not an option, iTunes!). Help!?!

Have you tried connecting to other USB port?
Once connected, an "autoplay" windows dialog box will appear asking "XXXX iPhone" import pictures and video, open device to view files, etc.
You can select either or to copy photos manually you can go to my computer and under portable device will show your iphone and go into to see all your photos and videos.

My computer doesn't recognize my iPod and therefore will not sync my new music

When I plug my iPod up to my computer, my computer doesn't recognize that the iPod is plugged in. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and this iPod has synced with this computer before.

Hy there,
In order for you to solve this problem you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is right under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple ipod and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
If these doesent work try restarting your device and then see what happens.
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.
