Unable to detect touch4g in windows only. Am able to detect it using itunes

I got my new touch 4g yesterday. when I first plugged it in, the PC detected it as a camera. After installing iTunes, my device was detected by iTunes but was not detected by PC. I went through several message boards on the net and did the reinstallation, etc. When I completely removed iTunes, my PC again detected the device as a camera. But after the reinstallation of itunes, my PC (again) stopped showing the device. I am still able to use the device with iTunes, but I would like to be able to use another software with it, which requires that the device be recognized by the PC. Please help!
PS - I upgraded to iOS5 after the whole thing, but it didn't help.

OK, there is still not much to go there.
I assume you are using 32 bit XP Pro, iTunes will not install on 64 bit XP but you should get a different error.
Lets try installing the components of iTunes separately.
Download the iTunes installer and save it in your downloads folder.
The files will be either itunessetup.exe or itunes64setup.exe for a 64 bit system.
Open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
md temp
itunes64setup /extract temp
pause
Remove 64 for 32 bit itunes.
Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
Install by double clicking on them  in this order:
Apple Application Support
Bonjour
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
iTunes
Make a note of any error messages and which component it relates to.
Also use the Windows Event viewer to see if there are error messages at the time you attempted the installs.
The following article gives information about using the Event Viewer:

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.0.1.12. I have been all through the threads and internet..how do I delete songs from my iTunes and hard drive at the same time? I have my music in the correct iTunes folder. Nothing works.

    Windows 7 64 bit
    iTunes 11.0.1.12
    I have my music in the correct iTunes folder
    In iTunes, I select songs, click "delete", then "move to recycle bin", finally, empty my recycle bin that shows the file is there
    File is still on my hard drive.
    I just want to be able to delete files out of my library and off of my hard drive at the same time. I have tried everything I have read, and there really seems to be no real answer. Somebody please help!

    If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
    Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
    Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

  • Windows 8.1 does not show podcasts using iTunes 11.4

    I just installed Windows 8.1 + itunes 11.4 and the podcast section does not display any podcasts.

    I have no answers for ya, but I do have the same problem, so we are not alone in this.
    My iTunes stopped working after I did a couple of software updates that got my iTunes up to v. 11.4. Since that update, I can't get iTunes to open at all, neither from my dock nor from the Applications menu.
    I'm wondering: Perhaps these latest iTunes updates are simply too advanced for my 10.6.8 operating system? If that's the case, how can I backtrack to an earlier version of iTunes that is compatible with my computer OS?
    Any thoughts?

  • My volume only works when I either am using iTunes or a bluetooth speaker. How can I fix this?

    The title is fairly self explanitory, I cannot hear anything from my computer speakers, it wont even have sound when I plug in headphones, but oddly enough, it works with bluetooth speakers.. To make things stranger, It also works with iTunes, but iTunes only.. I cannot even hear the little noises that happen when you lower and raise the volume via the buttons on the keyboard... Someone please help with this. Thank you.

    Try a NVRAM reset:

  • Unable to Detect SDHC Card on Windows 7

    Hi guys, recently I received a 4 gb sdhc card but when insert the card into the card reader & plug to the usb port, win 7 was unable to detect it. 1st thought was this sdhc card is bad but i when plug it to another win 7 pc it detects
    straight away, so the card is not faulty. I tried uninstalling the usb driver & HID driver still can't detect. Notice that under the disk drives it does show 'Mass Storage Device USB Device' which means it actually did detect but won't show up

  • Unable to detect NFC tag (ISO15693) in Lumia 830 on windows Phone 8.1

    Microsoft in Windows phone 8.1 has added new Nfc related features including low level access(Non NDEF). I have Nokia Lumia 830 (PN547 NFC chipset is present in this device).Im not able to detect Nfc tag (ANT-7M24LR-A ,ISO15693) through Lumia 830, which
    im able to read/write using Nfc-V(ISO15693) in Android. I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but atleast it is able to detect the tag. Has anyone encountered this ? Whats the workaround ?

    Hi Franklin,
    Thank you for the quick reply.
    Current OS version on the Lumia 830  is : Windows Phone 8.1 Update (8.10.14157.200)
    I have taken reference of  the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag. We are trying to read/write to the tag (ISO 15693) using the low level APIs (Non NDEF format).
    But my problem is that even before we can send/receive the data from the tag, the phone is not detecting the tag itself. If i try to debug the card added event doesnot fire in any case for (ANT-7 M24-LR-A) tag.
    I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but it is atleast able to detect the above mentioned tag.
    Lumia 830 is able to detect other tags like a generic NFC sticker (Mifare Ultralight) .
    Hi theDarkPriest,
    >>I have taken reference of the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag
    Well, have you tied to read NFC Tag using Proximity API? If not, please refer to this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsappdev/archive/2013/04/18/develop-a-cutting-edge-app-with-nfc.aspx
    If the Proximity API can detect NFC Tag correctly,  I think this issue should caused by this third-party library, you need to ask for help in its official site:

  • ERROR: Unable to detect fingerprint device

    Pavilion dm4 laptop worked fine yesterday. Booted up this morning and the option to sign in with a finger swipe was missing.
    PC has ""HP SimplePass Identity Protection" with a "Validity Sensors, Inc" fingerprint scanning device.
    Clicking SimplePass icon and then clicking Control Center gives error message: "Unable to detect fingerprint device".
    Device Manager for Biometric Devices says that Validity Sensor is "working properly".
    Trying to update device driver indicates that the latest driver is already installed.
    Tried a "Hard Reset" to see if static electricity buildup was the culprit, but nothing seemed to change.
    Ran "Troubleshooter" to detect new hardware or changed hardware, but nothing was detected.
    Made sure BIOS was set to Default Configuration.
    No programs were installed yesterday, no updates from Windows or HP.
    Stumped as what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Marty

    Hi Bryan,
    Thanks for the suggestion, but I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the Validity Sensor drivers and the SimplePass software (in both Normal and Safe modes). SimplePass is still unable to detect the Validity Sensor.
    I can open and run SimplePass and make a few changes to some general settings, and it seems to work fine. Also, Device Manager is still saying that Validity Sensor is “running properly”.
    Had a detailed telephone conversation with Tech Support to make sure that I wasn’t overlooking anything.  We ran through a checklist, but the problem is still there. Tech Support and I think that the problem is a hardware failure of the sensor. Unfortunately, I was informed that I had to do a “lobotomy”, a full System Recovery, before they could authorize returning the PC. Right now the PC works absolutely fine except for the Validity Sensor, and I really can’t be without my PC for a week or longer. So … Tech Support has me scheduled for a callback in January.  Will do the recovery then.  99% sure that the recovery will not fix the problem, but now is definitely the wrong time of the year to be without my dm4t.
    In fact, even thought the PC is only 4 months old and under warranty, I’d prefer it if HP could mail me a new sensor, and I’d install it myself, but don’t think HP would approve this option.
    Regards,
    Marty
