  • Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

    I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
    Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
    Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
    However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
    And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help  because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
    Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

  • Windows 7 does not recognize Iphone as Camera

    Hi,
    i recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) on my PC and syncing my Iphone (OS 3.0) with Itunes 9 works fine. BUT the Iphone is not recognized as a Digital Camera anymore, so no Dialog pops up when i connect it and i am not able to import Photos to my Computer. Device Manager only displays it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". Is there anything i can do to fix this Problem? Thanks in Advance!

    Not sure if there is anything you can do since I don't believe Windows 7 is supported with the iPhone, which hasn't been officially released.

  • My new Dell PC running Windows 8 does not recognize my iPad or iPhone. Worked OK for iPhone for months but would not work for new iPad.  I removed /relaoded iTunes and now it won't recognize either iPad or iPhone.

  • Windows does not recognize iPhone 5S as device

    Hallo,
    For the past two weeks, my Windows 7 does not recognize my iPhone 5S as a device. This means I cannot download any media content captured with the device.
    I have already followed the instructions posted on several Apple community topics re this issue, specifically the ones on checking the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When connecting the phone, the Apple USB driver does show as a bus controller. I've checked for updates, and it shows that I have the latest version and that the bus controller functions correctly. The phone is also picked up by iTunes, although iTunes doesn't not start automatically like before. I'm using an Apple cable. Still, the device is not picked up by Windows.
    Can anyone help, please?

    Did you check all of the steps in this support document iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows especially the ones about the Apple USB driver installation? Did you try removing and reinstalling iTunes as suggested and outlined in this support document? Make sure you follow those steps exactly.

  • After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

    After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
    I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
    Please help with this problem
    Thanks
    TOM

    You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
    The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

  • Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

    Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation?  and of course iTunes either.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (it applies to win 8)
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

  • Windows 7 does not recognize ipod 6th gen nano

    Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

    Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
    To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
    It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

    my itunes 9.2 (mac osx 10.4.11) does not recognize iphone 4s

    Since you're running iTunes 9.2, your Mac has a G4 or better CPU. You need to purchase and install Mac OS X 10.5(G4 or G5) or Mac OS X 10.6(Intel) from a DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are free for paid MobileMe members.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

    My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my Windows 7 laptop.  iTunes on this PC recognizes it okay, but Windows 7 does not see it as a camera.  On my old WinXP machine, it is recognized with no problem.

    Did you check the camera notification?
    Maybe you'll need to enable it again and reverse the process described in this article:

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano, but it charges

    Hey. If I plug my ipod into my laptop and computer, it does not recognize my ipod. It pops up a message that says that a unrecognizable usb device has been plugged in. It has, however, worked in the past. The ipod charges, but I'm not able to use it as a flash drive or to upload music or anything like that. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for the link. It didn't solve the issue on my mother in law's desktop, but it did contain a link to another solution for desktops (and for laptops not helped by the link you provided).
    The link reads: "If you don't have a PC laptop or the steps above did not help, see this document for more information."
    Essentially, putting the iPod into disc mode caused it to be recognized by XP and all was well.
    Anyway, your help is much appreciated as it's particularly difficult for me to work in the Windows enviroment since I so rarely do it.

  • Computer does not recognize Iphone 4 is plugged in to USB. Can't transfer pictures.

    My HP laptop always use to recognize my Iphone 4 then all of the sudden stopped. I have been trying to transfer pictures and it does not see that any device or camera is plugged in to it like it use to. I have VISTA on my computer. When I go to My Computer it doesnt show anything is even plugged into the USB port. I tried all 3 ports on the laptop. The Windows help assistant talks about needing a driver..basically a software disc to load any new divice onto the computer. How would I get a driver for the Iphone?? I never needed that before. I could just plug it in and I would get the pop up asking if I wanted to transfer my pictures, etc.  This is so annoying!  I do back up to I Cloud as well.

    Hi..Yes, I Tunes is installed on the computer. I sync with it no problem. I am trying to get the pictures from my Iphone onto my computer. When I use to plug the phone in I would get a pop up from Windows saying do you want to transfer pics to computer, do you want them to erase off phone once transfered, etc. Now I do not get the pop up. It is like the computer no longer recognizes that my Iphone is plugged in. Technically the pics are on my computer in the Photo Stream folder..but I want to actually transfer them off the phone. I have tried to turn off Photo Stream and I cloud but it does not help. The computer still does not recognize the phone plugged into the USB. If I go to "add a printer, scanner or camera" on the computer..it does not see it either. That is where it talks about having a driver to set up a new hardware device. I have 900 pics on my phone that I do not want to have to delete one by one...and I want to make sure they are downloaded. I also have videos that I want to download to the computer either and those are no where to be found..not even in the Photo Stream folder. I appreciate any help!

  • LR 4 on OSX 10.8 does not recognize iPhone

    Ever since upgrading my Macbook Pro to 10.8 LR 4 does not recognize my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) on the import menue.
    No problem with iTunes, same problem with iPhoto. Help anyone?
    Gabriel

    Just saw your reply. I am not sure what you are suggesting.
    I have the following in my Mac Harddrive/Library/Image Capture/Devices folder:
    Canon IJScanner2
    Canon IJScanner4
    EPSON Scanner
    HP M1130_M1210 Scanner
    However, the icon for the last mentioned is different. It does not have the Image Capture icon. It simply has the generic application icon (two white papers with an "A" formed out of a ruler, a pencil and a brush). I doubt that the icon makes a difference, but it is what I observe.
    The permissions for the first three and the last are identical.
    The file sizes for all the files are in the same size range (except for EPSON, which is much bigger).
    I should reiterate that I am using the Lion version drivers on Mavericks (just upgraded from Mountain Lion yesterday). Those are the newest drivers for this MFP.
