My winxp could not recognize iphone as internal storage

Why my winxp sp3 does not recognize iphone 4s as internal storage? I installed itunes 10.5.3 and connected to my iphone 4s then it shows up in itune and able to sync photo/music..etc, but it shows in exploere as digital camera which I would not allow me to copy and past photo from iphone to my windows.
Anyone of you may happen found this problem as well especailly winxp user, I also found that it works very well in win7, but it not possible for me to install the win7 because there are some software in my machine requreid winxp.

    I hope if I ever lose my phone that you find it snozdop and not ajackson15.  Maybe ajackson15 will lose something of his/hers and then not get it back

  • Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
    When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
    The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
    Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
    Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
    Thank You,

    Hey Lawrence,
    A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
    Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
    Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed  the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
    Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
    Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

  • COULD NOT ACTIVATE IPHONE 3GS

    my son did something to my iphone 3gs and now I get to a screen that says:
    Could Not Activate IPhone
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try in a couple of minuites. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    It has continued for weeks, therefore asking if there is a solution to this?
    Thanks.

    Hey Fletchdog55
    I have the same problem on my 3GS. I took it to the apple store and was told that the Activation Server was down internationally and should be up in a week or so.
    I've had this problem for over a week now and apple said the server went down yesterday so I'm not sure what to think. As far as I can see there is no solution except to wait.

  • Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

    windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

  • 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.

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • HT1414 could not activate iphone

    upon updating my old 3gs to a new software it always prompt me an error message
    "Could not activate Iphone.Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. try connecting you iphone to itunes to acivate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. if this problem persist, contact apple support at apple.com/support"
    even though itry to connect to itunes it always prompt me an error. could not sync nor return back the back up.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it

  • 4s could not activate iphone

    i just restore my iphone 4s white 16GB,
    but its not letting me activate the iphone.
    The messages is showing as below
    "Could not activate iphone"
    "Your iphone could not be activated beacause the activation server is temporarily unavailable.
    Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate it. or try again in a couple of minutes."
    "If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"
    and when i call in to tech support, they ask me to paid 19.99 to get a 30 day call in help.
    But i dont think the problem is with my phone, it was fine before i did a restore of 6.1.3.
    Please help!!

    So you were already running 6.1.3 and then restored the iPhone and got this message?
    Was the iPhone jailbroken before you Restored it? If so, to truly clear it you need to put it in DFU mode and Restore it. If not, try a different SIM from AT&T and if that doesn't work make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store.

  • Thinkpad X230 could not recognize external DVD burner

    Hi, I received my Thinkpad X230 two weeks ago and was planning to make backup media.  However, X230 could not recognize my external DVD burner. It was not responding no matter which USB port I tried. The DVD burner works fine with my T400 and X201. Just want to know how to get X230 to work with the DVD burner so that I can make factory backup media. Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    Your external USB DVD±RW disc drive may require more power than can be provided via one USB port in order to burn DVDs.  Did the drive come with a "double-headed" Y-shaped USB cable to connect to two USB ports on the notebook?  If so, try plugging both of the large ends into the ThinkPad's USB ports and the small end into the external drive and then see if it is now recognized by the computer.

  • ITunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored...

    I replaced a faulty iPhone 4S with a new handset today, another iPhone 4S.  I was certain to backup my previous iPhone 4S to iTunes on my PC before returning the faulty unit.  The new phone was 'set up' at the Apple Store and updated to the current iOS, 7.0.4, as was the faulty unit prior to replacement.  Upon connecting the new unit to iTunes to restore to the most recent restore point from earlier in the day, the following message was shown:
    "iTunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
    I've browsed other forums and have contacted the Apple Store Genius Bar, and will hear from the Lead Genius tomorrow.  In the meantime, I am hoping someone may have information for me on what I may need to do in order to restore my phone as I'd anticipated doing by now.  My photos, email and text messages are what is affected and have not repopulated.  My music is accessable via iCloud without a problem and my contacts were kept via SIM.  I regularly copy my Camera Roll from my iPhone to my computer, and most of my photos are still viewable via Apple TV/My Photo Stream however only through the photos last saved.  The 348 recent photos that were on my faulty unit, and viewable in My Photo Stream were presumedly safe, but have disappeared.
    I have yet to shut down or restart my computer, nor have I exited out of iTunes, for the simple reason that I'd anticipated returning home with the new handset and plug it into my computer to restore right away.  I did, but that's as far as I've gotten. 
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
    Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
    No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
    Tried again with a simulated test.
    Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
    As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
    After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
    Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
    Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
    Any ideas?

    I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
    This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
    I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
    I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
    Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
    Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps...  - did nothing
    Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
    This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.
    regards

    What model is your phone and what OS are you trying to install.  iOS 7 can only be installed on certain phones.
