Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

  • Itunes 10.5 will not recognize iphone

    Just updated to 10.5 itunes - now it will not recognize my iphone 4.3.5.  Suggestions?

    I am having this problem, but on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7.  Both my iPhone 5 and my wifes iPhone 5 are not recognized in iTunes.  Both our old iPhone 4S's come up just fine.  Any other work arounds?
    I have reinstalled iTunes, restarted both phones, and Mac.  Still not recognizable.
    EDIT: 
    Just tried the other cable from my iPhone 5 box, and it works fine.  I then tried plugging the faulty cable straight into the wall, and it gets no charge.  Faulty cable.

  • ITunes 8.2 will not recognize iPhone 3GS on Windows XP Pro

    Hi guys. I just got a new iPhone 3GS and I'm having problems getting it to sync up to my PC. I have an HP NC6400 PC notebook with Win XP Pro SP2. I installed the latest iTunes 8.2 and connected my iPhone, but nothing happens. The iPhone doesn't show up under devices and it doesn't ask to install drivers. I did several days of research on the net and tried a few different things. I booted up the iPhone in recovery mode, and it then asked to install a driver, but couldn't find any valid drivers. I found on a post somewhere that the iPhone uses a driver called USBAAPL.SYS under C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, but that file is nowhere to be found. I tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and even tried iTunes v8.1, but no luck. I even found a link to download the file and tried to install that driver for the device, but it didn't recognize it as a valid driver. I tried connecting my iPhone to a friend's computer (Dell desktop PC also with XP SP2) and it worked perfectly, but on my own PC, no luck. There's something wrong with my PC.
    There's another symptom that I noticed and I'm not sure if it's directly related or not. When I load iTunes, I get this message:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I found a post referring to this on Apple's support site here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US
    I followed those instructions, and it seems the error message went away. Still though, no iPhone!
    Can anyone please help me? Are there more diagnostics I can run? Is there a way to REALLY be sure iTunes has been completely uninstalled? Is there a way to see if some other software may be interfering with the installation of the drivers? My iPhone works fine on other PCs, but not mine! Thanks for your help!
    Eric

    Hey guys. Ok it looks like I figured it out for myself.
    I opened the iTunesSetup.exe file with WinRar, and it allowed me to extract the individual .msi files for the various iTunes components. This included AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour.msi, iTunes.msi, MobileMe.msi, and QuickTime.msi. I then ran each .msi individually and Removed each component. Once this was finished, I ran iTunesSetup.exe again and installed from scratch, and it worked! It looks like there was something wrong with an old installation and it never completely uninstalled. Now it's detecting my iPhone and working fine!

  • ITunes 11.1.0.126 (Win7/64) will not recognize iPhone 5 (neither iOS 6 nor iOS 7)

    iTunes 11.1.0.126 (Win7/64) will not recognize iPhone 5 (neither iOS 6 nor iOS 7).
    Windows can see the USB-connected iPhone.

    With iTunes 10 and iOS 6 it was OK

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not recognize iPhone, iPad after Dell BIOS update

    I suspect the problems everyone is having are related to the BIOS.  I am running a Dell XPS i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM, 64 bit OS x64 based processor.  OS is Windows 8.1
    I just updated my BIOS as suggested by Dell.  Now iTunes 11.1.4 will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.
    My computer accesses the iPhone or iPad, but iTunes does not recognize them.
    This was not a problem prior to updating BIOS.
    Is there a fix or patch?
    I have to sync my devices for work.
    Please no baby-steps replies.  Have tried everything including removing devices from device manager and reconnecting to force driver update and try to force iTunes recognition.  None of that works.
    Thanks!

    Here is the fix from Waldo-E3 elsewhere in this forum.
    Like I said, no baby steps answers please!
    Kudos to Waldo-E3!
      RESOLVED...
    Found these steps posted elsewhere by another and the solution worked for me...
    1. Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel. 
    2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver) 
    3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list. 
    4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top  When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button. 
    5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner. 
    6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button. 
    7. Select "Update Driver". 
    8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software". 
    9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.   
    10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install. 
    11. iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already

  • Itunes 8.0 will not recognize ipod on new computer

    Got a new computer and downloaded itunes 8.0 and itunes will not recognize my ipod classic. I was able to transfer old songs from old computer to the new one.

    OK, that just changed where future music will be added.
    You need to go back to the old PC and get the ITL file. Put it either on the new PC or the exHD. Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes and it should "see" all the music on your ex HD.

  • I have a new wireless router and now my laptop will not recognize the printer.

    I recently installed a new wireless router,Linksys E2500, and now my laptop will not connect to my OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer.  Operating system is Windows XP.  Says it does not recognize the printer.  It was working fine with my other Linksys router and I have been able to connect all of my other electronic equipment.  Thanks.

    You must reinstall the full feature software and drivers again to be sure it will work with the new router.  This is the fastest way.  Simply follow the instructions that came with the printer.

  • I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window and now my iMac will not turn on.

    I really goofed. I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window (Screen sharing;File Sharing...Remote Login; Remote Management...Internet sharing) but I did not write down the IP address and now the computer will not turn on at all. Is there a way to roll back my stupidity and get this thing to turn on again?

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • HT2954 I changed my email address on Gmail and now my computer will not recognize the new password when I modify my account?

    I changed my email password on Gmail last night.  I then went into settings on my MAC to reflect the changes but it will not recognize it.  I double checked to ensure I had the right password and it is. I can log into my email from safari with no issues.  I have varified that all account information is correct but its still not working.  I have also lost notes and contacts.

    I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
    This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
    I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
    I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
    Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
    Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps...  - did nothing
    Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
    This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.
    regards

  • Just started. iphoto will not recognize iphone as a camera

    frustrated here. All of a sudden, IPhoto will not recognize my iPhone as a camera and therefore will not upload photos taken on the phone. No settings have been changed. Not sure what to do here.

    Got any photos in your camera roll that were emailed to you or saved through safari? If so, try deleting them or emailing them to yourself & then deleting them from your camera roll. See if iphoto will then see your phone.
