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.

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?

Try connecting your Mac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable to see if that lets AirPort Utility "see" the Time Capsule.

HT1386 APPLE USB DRIVER NOT INSTALLED

Hi
if anyone can help me with how to install the apple usb driver for windows 8.1

That driver is installed as part of iTunes. did you install iTunes

Windows 8.1 Computer not recognizing iPhone 5 and iTunes not opening

So i've been having these issues persist since I updated to iOS7 in September. Computer is a MSI GT60 2OD-026US running windows 8, now 8.1.
How this all started in September:
1. Download iTunes and it sees iPhone, update to iOS7
2. Everything is all good until it tries to connect to iTunes after extracting the old software, the computer doesn't acknoledge the phone is connected.
3. Try all usb ports, no luck
4. update usb drivers, already updated, no help
5. reinstall itunes, no luck
6. itunes starts to not open, its running in the task manager but no window shows up, even after ending the task and relaunching
7. uninstall itunes and reinstall on the OS drive, now it works, but still wont see iphone.
8. temporary fix found, iphone successfully restores on a different computer and all is good for a while
Second problem:
1. try to sync new CD onto iPhone, when suddenly I have over have my phone filled with "other" data
2. restore to clear "other" data
3. computer again wont recognize it after extracting the software
4. again use temporary fix of going to another computer
Today:
1. got a lot of new non itunes music, going to sync it
2. uh oh, I have duplicate songs on it and lots of the album artwork is wrong
3. woah, suddenly I have 5 gb of "other" data, lets restart for a clean slate
4. and like clockwork my computer doesn't recognize it after software extraction, get 4005 error message
5. reinstall itunes and itunes refuses to open because I moved it back to my 1TB drive instead of my 128GB SSD OS drive because it was getting rather full.
5. iTunes again will not open, even in safe mode but again shows up in the taskbar
I've looked at many threads similar to this and no solution has worked.
Have any ideas? or should I just bring my computer into the apple store?

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Car's Music System Not Recognizing Iphone by USB

Hi All
I tried to use the iphone to listen music on my car's music system.
However te display shows reading USB and hangs up.Just to confirm that the port is fine I trieother medias and that worked fine.
Please help me in getting tis issue resolved.Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advace,
Mahesh

Does the car connection state that it supports iPhones?
It may not work because it is not supposed to.
The iPhone does not present itself over USB like a USB drive would do.
You cannot see the music files on the iPhone directly over USB port.
My guess is that the car connection is expecting a simple USN device and NOT an iPhone.

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!

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.

Shuffle causes Windows to stop recognizing all other USB ports!?!

When I plug my new Shuffle in to any USB Port, Windows stops recognizing all other USB drives. (this includes my internet connection and external hard drive with all music) If I disconnect the Shuffle and repower the other devices, they work normally again. I've seen this same problem on this forum and the answer did not help - here is the answer/link given the previous posting: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
The shuffle has its own drive letter on my computer, so no conflict here AND my husband's shuffle works just fine on this same usb port and same cradle. As soon as I eject the working shuffle and place the new one in the cradle, my computer shuts down and no other USB Ports work until I unplug the shuffle and repower the others. Maybe a shuffle problem?
Thanks for your help!

Are you "eject"ing your husband's shuffle in iTunes OR are you "safely removing hardware" in Windows?

ITunes 11.0.4 not recognizing iPhone 4S

Hello,
I have currently wasted most of the friday trying to fix this without any luck. Previous version of iTunes didn´t recognize iPhone at first as well, but after reinstalling everything (everything from Apple) I have managed to fix it. But 11.0.4 is a different story.
If I uninstall all parts of iTunes, iPhone driver from Microsoft is installed after iPhone connection, device is recognized in Device Manager, I can copy photos from Explorer and Dropbox can upload photos automatically.
When I install iTunes, Device Manager no longer recognize iPhone (there is just Apple USB Driver), device is not visible in Explorer or Dropbox and most importantly it´s not visible in iTunes either.
I have tried every suggestion from web and from Apple pages (including a precise unistall steps) without any succes, it always leads to this.
Win 7 64 bit
iPhone 4 with newest iOS
Honestly I would be very surprised to get any advice helping me fix this but lets see. Please do not post links to Apple support pages, saw them done that.
Thanks
Davon
PS: sync still work fine on Macbook Pro, both iPhone and cable are ok, seems like a screwed up driver to me...

Just want to say I have not found any solution and I just gave up.
I have unistalled Apple USB Driver and installed driver from Microsoft. This way iPhone is at least visible as a device (I can see iPhone as hardware in control panels) and I can copy and delete photos from Camera Roll in Explorer + Dropbox can automatically upload new photos (no sync and backup though of course).
My only hope is that new iTunes version will fix this. My iPhone is getting old (home button is no longer working 100%) and I'm planning to buy new phone soon™. I just hope Apple will fix this, else I might buy some different device/brand (do not want to, but if it doesn't work)...

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!

Why is my computer not recognizing my apple id?

My husband purchased a MacBook Pro last week. We did the setup at the Apple Store and ever since have had continual problems with the computer recognizing, or in this case NOT recognizing, his Apple ID. The ID and password have been changed 3 times now. Is this a computer problem, an iCloud problem, or what? To be honest, I'm pretty frustrated right now and ready to pitch the whole thing out the window.

Sometimes, your Apple ID is actually "username" instead of "[email protected]" Try putting the username of your email instead of the actual address, and see if that works?

Iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

Hello Chambless,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone to charge.
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
