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?

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.

Windows 7 not recognizing iphone

last time I tried updating from ios5 to 6, i had to reset my phone cause it got stcuk in recovery mode. Now I want to back up my phone befor I install ios6.xx, but my iphone is not recognized by Windows 7. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Did you get your issue resolved ?
I'm assuming the standard links provided didn't help.
My iphone id stuck with the picture of a usb cable connecting to the itunes icon.
I have tried any combination of holding the home button and/or the sleep button for 10, 20 , 30 , 40 60 sec.
But it's still stuck

TS1538 windows 7 not recognizing ipod

Neither Windows 7 nor iTunes are recognizing my iPod Classic. I followed all of the steps available in the Apple Troubleshooting section, but there does not even appear to be any sort of device in my Device Manager that is remotely iPod-esque (or USB storage-esque for that matter). What's even more troubling is that nearly 5,000 of my songs are from CDs and are only on my iPod now (It took me weeks to copy them all and I do NOT want to go through that again). Is there any way to restore my iPod without deleting everything? And if so, is there any way to copy my music from my iPod onto iTunes? I understand piracy prevention, but this is downright ridiculous. I wish I would have bought anything besides an iPod to listen to music on. :/

1. Apple Mobile Device Services controls communication with the iPod/iPhone. See this article for help on troubleshooting the problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
2. There are multiple programs that can do this. However, Pod to PC is freeware and is highly regarded. Google it.

Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
Any suggestions out there?

How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

Re: iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5
Feb 16, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to oryyx)
Had this problem this morning.
Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
This morning had the problem,too.
Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

HP 5470c Scanjet on Windows 7 not recognized / will not initialize

Scanner first set up on Windows Xp system. New HP p6710f desktop purchased last year with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which recognized the scanner on USB and worked flawlessly . Recently rearranged the office which required disconnecting the peripherals, and now the scanner is not recognized .
The product support area on this website says the scanner is not supported on WIn 7 . How then did it work previously ?
And why would HP discontinue support for a product that still has a long useable life ? Is this just a ruse to encourage purchase of new products ? Should the baby be thrown out with the wash water ?
I am not a computer guru , but suspect a 'driver' is needed to get operational again ?
Thanks in advance for any help offered .

My PC not recognizing iPhone

My Pc not recognizing iPhone. I tryed a lot of ways but nothing help.

If its anything like what my pc does from time to time... Is that when I plug in , Itunes "locks" up for a period of time followed by it finally "letting go" and then not seeing my iphone. Granted, I use an Iphone 4 but none the less I'm assuming this is the issue you are having.
What I do (cant take credit for this, learned from another user on these boards) is hold your home button and power button at the same time. Let the iphone turn off and then turn it back on. Plug it back in , and it should be seen. If that does not work (does not always for me) try it when the usb cable plugged in. One or the other usually does the trick for me.
Good luck!

Itunes 64bit on windows 7 not reconize iphone

Itunes 64 bit windows 7 not connected iphone, because itunes required iphone same 64 bit ...

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system. That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.
