Solve for Windows 8.1 Running iTunes with iPhone 5

After SEVERAL hours of trying (and failing) to get iTunes (v. 11.1.5) to recognize my iPhone 5, I think I FINALLY found a solution!
1) Go to your Control Panel and find Uninstall a Program
2) Delete EVERYTHING that is associated with Apple Devices (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update)
3) Uninstall iTunes
4) Download and SAVE (do not "run") iTunes64setup (iTunes 11.1.5.5). This one specifically says it is an update that "resolves an issue with typing Japanese text in the iTunes Store and fixes a  problem that may cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly when a device is connected."
5) Reboot your computer
6) Go to your Downloads folder and install iTunes (v. 11.1.5.5). I had my phone plugged in during the install - not sure if that made a difference or not.
When I opened iTunes, everything reappeared like it used to, including my sync and backup/restore options for my phone.
Hope this helps SOMEONE!! Because I had tried pretty much EVERYTHING out there on all the discussion boards.

  • Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c

    Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I afraid you will not be able to use the scanner with Windows 8.1, it is not compatible with the OS.
    Regarding VueScan, I afraid it would not be an option as well, the application only support your scanners if there are drivers for the OS:
    If there isn't an HP scanner driver at www.hp.com for your operating system, then unfortunately VueScan won't work with this scanner.
    You may try using the Vista drivers by running the drivers using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter as listed below.. select Not Listed from the programs list and browse to the installation file for Vista:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03401961&lc=en#N63
    The installation file for Vista can be downloaded below:

    0X is a Windows Error. Take the time to look over on the right under the "More Like This" and look for ones that have the green checkmark as being solved. You should find answers there.

  • Can you run iTunes with Windows 98?

    I have a dell lap top I would like to use iTunes on but cant find a iTunes program for Windows 98. I want to use my iPod with the lap top.

    iTunes for Windows was first introduced for Windows 2000 so there isn't a version that works natively with either 98 or ME. You could have a look at XPlay or Anapod, either of which will work with Windows 98/ME. However both of these are commercial programs so you might consider it worth the extra expense to upgrade to XP if your computer will run it. Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers:
    XPlay 2

  • Running itunes with old windows

    Hi I have two computers, 1 is my main computer a Dell dimension 2400 running windows xpand the other is a home built running windows 98. Is there any way to run itunes on my home built computer or do i need to purchase windows xp(which i don't have the money for) to be able to run itunes on it?

    I can't help but wonder WHY you would want to run iTunes on an OS that old? You won't be able to get to the Music Store, or update any reasonably new iPod...
    In any case, you can try older versions of iTunes from here:
