TS1538 Windows 7 & iTunes hate my iPhone 4S; HELP!

Windows 7 will not recognize my iPhone 4S nor will iTunes. I've followed the directions at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 & nothing has helped. I uninstalled MobileMe, but that didn't help. Other ideas?

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer, then attempt to sync content to the device.
If that resolves the problem, contact whomever supports the security software (not Apple) and inquire how to prevent their software from intereferring with iTunes.

hi Hung Tang!
hmmm. just to be on the safe side, please try searching for that file again, after having done this:
Open "My computer". go to the Tools menu. Select "folder options ..." click the "view" tab. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked, like so:

If the QT file still isn't showing up then, and the fix from that QTfW thread is still impossible to apply, then I think that a
b clean
uninstall then reinstall (with freshly downloaded itunes and ipod software) would be prudent. we want to try to try to get rid of any corrupted files (in either your itunes or quicktime set-ups).

It would also be prudent to back up your music prior to doing this. we aren't going to be doing anything that would normally affect them, but it's best not to tempt fate.

Bull manure.
Want to try again? Or maybe read and use the troubleshooting in the article which your ridiculous statement was posted from?

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

TS1538 windows xp not recognizing iphone - apple usb driver not in list

I have followed all the troubleshooting steps in TS1538. I have uninstalled everything associated with apple and reinstalled the latest version of itunes at least 10 times. I have tried and tried and tried to figure out how to get the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver to show up in the device manager list with no luck. Everything else appears to be as it should according to all the troubleshooting steps with the exception that the USB driver will not show up in the list. I've tried taking a screenshot and getting the computer to recognize it as a camera without luck. I've tried using a different apple iphone, and ipad and an ipod with no luck. I've taken my phone and cable to another computer and it works perfectly. There is something preventing itunes from installing the usb driver on my computer. This is my work computer that I need to sync with to keep my contacts and appointments synced. Please help!!! I have disabled everything I can including software, antivirus and all peripherals without any luck. I am running winXP service pack 3 and itunes v. 10.7.0.21.
This has worked great for the last 2 years and then stopped working about 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to fix it off and on since then. Any and all help is appreciated. It started when I was trying to get my sons locked iphone 3G to sync with my computer and it wouldn't show up. That was the last thing to sync with this computer and nothing has worked since. I am confident that I've eliminated all the variables that I could.
Thank you for you time and effort.
Chad

Maybe a Microsoft Update broke the driver? Or an update to your security software? Have you rebooted your computer? Have you tried disabling your antivirus and firewall? Have you tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

ITUNES HATES ME!! help!

Hey. Before i start:
ARGHHHH!!!
now thats over; here is my problem.
my computer recently crashed, so i had to re-download everything, including itunes. this was fine. however the computer had none of my old songs on it. no biggie because they where all on itunes(WHERE). This was fine, and i could live with this for a while until i realised that my iphone had decided to not sync some led zeppling, rage against the machine and kings of leon songs. "strange thinks me" - what's weirder is that they had disapeared from itunes..."odd thinks I"
so i put the led zepp, ratm, coheed and cambria cd's into my pc (i recently moved and threw out all my cds because i stupidly thought i would have an eternal software version of them)- they upload to my itunes without a problem, then i notice i can't drag them into the iphone; slightly annoyed. because i redownloaded itunes i had to reselect the "manually manage music and videos".
but for some ridicolous reason that i can't fathom, if i want to change how I put songs onto the iphone through ITUNES, the IPHONE has to erase everything and re-sync? what one earth!?
so i backup the iphone, "this will store the music, then i can restore it after it changes to manually add music" - says I - 20 minutes later; funny, it hasn't restored my 2,500+ songs. i'll try again. same, again, same, again. now i'm crazy. because not only has the iphone deleted all my songs. they are no longer on itunes...STRANGE
and now i have new apps to add, but it will wipe all my bought apps, which aren't appearing in the purchased folder...so Apple...
WHY can't we drag songs from our music library into the iphone? without changing a setting and losing everything?
WHY can't we drag songs from our iphones into the itunes music library? without being tempted to download possibly harmful programs?
WHY does it need to erase everything and resync to change a setting?
WHY have i lost 2,500 songs?
WHY have i spent so much money to swear and scream at a phone/pc for the last 2 hours?!?!?!?!
and where are my apps?!
HELP before i explode into a nerd rage!
Thanks; a crazed, confused teenager. lol

No, you didn't backup your library and computer hard disc otherwise you wouldn't be having any of these problems. This is what is in a iPhone backup set - nothing thats kept in iTunes basically.

Far as the battery goes, its all estimated. It LARGLY depends on many things, the size of the song ( Like 1 MB size or 9MB size) and the length (The time, like if the songs lastes 3 min or 30 mins) THe settings on the iPod ect ect you can read more about this here http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html

Email account on Windows 8 Laptop to iPhone & iPad help needed

Hello all,
I have a Windows 8 laptop with an Eastlink (pop) email account using Outlook 2010 as my email software. I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad mini. In the past on a older laptop with Outlook 2003, and prior to ios7, when I checked my email on my phone, I could see the messages and delete, read etc. Then when I checked my email later on using my laptop, the messages on my phone would disappear and move to my laptop email. This is no longer the case. I have configured my Eastlink mail on the iPad and iPhone as imap and when I check my email, I can see the Eastlink email messages but they stay there and do not ever show up in my Outlook 2010 account on my laptop. I need to figure out the settings to change to get this working the way it used to. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I think I'm understanding but correct me if I'm not getting it. My laptop is a POP account so when I check mail, it is removed from the Eastlink mail server and the messages end up in my Outlook 2010 software on the laptop - this setting has been in place long before I got an iPhone. It is my "master account" for lack of a better word.
Then, when I got my iPhone, I was able to check my email through the settings for IMAP. If I'm understanding correctly, what I see on my phone is a copy of what is still sitting on the Eastlink server and the original stays on the Eastlink server until I physically download it to the POP account. I don't want all of my mail on the Eastlink server all the time, I'd like to clear it off of there and have it on my laptop. I have a large archive of messages in my Outlook software, some going back to 2008 which I need to keep as they pertain to things I can't delete. Am I missing something by thinking that if I had my laptop email set as IMAP all along, even when using the laptop, I would have been leaving all those messages on the Eastlink server and that would have had me over my quota pretty quickly?
When I first got the phone, my laptop settings were never changed to IMAP yet when I checked the mail on my phone, I could see the messages, then when I got home to my laptop and downloaded my email, they magically disappeared from my phone automatically because they were no longer on the Eastlink server but were now on the laptop. This stopped after one of the upgrades that eventually ended up being IOS7. I swear it used to work that way. I've gone to wiki and read about IMAP and POP but I must be missing some basic understanding.
Thanks in advance and thanks for your patience with me as I try to figure this out.

ITunes wont detect iPhone - Urgent help!!!!!

Ok heres the deal. Usualy i use iTunes regulary without any problems. But 2 days ago all of a sudden my iTunes wasn able to detect the Iphone, i tried everything, differrent USB plugin, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling Bonjour but nothing changed. Now there was one interestting thing, when i tried to open the iTunes that day first what appeard on my screen was: "Bonjour service unavalaible". Could that be the problem? If not or yes, i need help urgently! Pls help! thanks
oh btw i forgott to mention that my comp recognizes it as a cam like it usually does and starts charging it, but only iTunes is making trouble
I also tried at my neighbours computer and his iTunes recognizes it perfectly, i tried everything, i have up-to-date drivers, matchable iTunes specially for my Win 7, uninstalled every Apple related software and installed iTunes again several times, tried everything i found on google, still no change. Help plssss!!!!!

I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.
Also make sure Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service are running (Administrative Utilities>Services). If they are, might restart them anyway.

TS1538 Windows 8 Not Recognizing iPhone 4.

It worked fine yesterday. if not yeseterday then definitely the day before. I tried several things, including what is listed on Apple's troubleshooting site. But I see that several others are reporting the same thing just today, so apparently there must be some sort of iPhone-wide problem??
How to fix this? I doubt I still have Applecare. I used to have it when I was using Mac devices but it proved to be totally not worth the cost. . . But still, I have paid for this phone, so I expect it to work or to be able to get customer service for it.
Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
Am using a Toshiba Satellite Windows 8 PC. I cant think of anything that i've installed lately. ALTHOUGH.... there has been this sudden unusual error for hte past week saying something about RunTime.

Maybe a Microsoft Update broke the driver? Or an update to your security software? Have you rebooted your computer? Have you tried disabling your antivirus and firewall? Have you tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

I was trying to update my iTunes on my Windows PC. It could not find the folder so I followed the "Support" instructions and now I've lost iTunes on my PC and my iPhone. HELP!

I lost my iTunes on my Windows PC and my iPhone after trying to upgrade to the lasted software. The error I was given; "not the correct folder". I follow the instuctions in Support which said to delete everything iTunes, Apple, Bonjour. How do I get it back?

As above, hold down the power and home buttons for some time until it restarts, it will likely come back to the same screen, whilst there connect it to iTunes and it should prompt you to restore the phone. This will do the phone software (full reset) and then allow you to restore your most recent iCloud/iTunes backup.
