Windows 7 pc does not recognize/find my iphone 5

I went to upgrade my iphone 5 to the new ios 7. I am not a regular "syncer"-that is it had probably been a few months. Went into itunes and was prompted to upgrade pc to 11.1. Error was I had my phone pluggged in while upgrading itunes to 11.1. Came back about 30 minutes later and the itunes logo was hardset into my phone-rendering it useless. Went Apple Store #1 and got it unlocked and discovered phone contents were all gone accept for Contacts. Came back home and phone was still not recognized. Went to Apple Store #2 and was told how to uninstall the Apple apps in the proper order and restart pc. Performed this function and PC still does not recognize the iphone 5. Double checked to make sure all Apple apps were installed. At my wits end....

Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site. The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked. The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

Windows Security Suite does not recognize Verizon Internet Security Suite

Windows Secuity Suite does not recognize that the Verizon Internet Security suite on one of my PC's is running and keeps popping up aWindows Security Alert. The Firewall is enabled within Verizon Internet Security suite.
My other PC's don't have this issue.
All PC's are running Windows Vista Home Premium.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mark

well that error message is saying that Windows security center no longer supports the way that the VISS is reporting. Which means that even though VISS is working and it is even reporting its status to WSC. WSC doesnt recognize it anymore. Likely one of the windows updates made the change. I can see the fight comming now. Verizon is going to say. Its working and if the other program doesnt support it, too bad. And windows is going to say the same thing in reverse. My guess would be that it will probably stay that way unless Verizon or Microsoft get enough complaints to make a change in the recognition system.
But the good news is that VISS is running and protecting you. The WSC just doesnt "speak the same language" anymore and cant understand the message from VISS saying "I'm up and running"

My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB. I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
I have tried a different USB to no avail. Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue.
I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled. Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

MacBook w/OS10.6.8 does not recognize an attached iPhone.

MacBook w/OS10.6.8 does not recognize an attached iPhone. That is, iTunes does not display "Devices" in the left pane, so it is impossible to sync any of the data. It worked fine until the operating system was upgraded from 10.5. Another Mac does in fact recognize that same iPhone. It is a MacBook Pro w/OS10.6.8, but that laptop is generally used by another person in the same household. Any ideas out there?

Did you already try the suggestions mentioned here? iOS: Device recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Did you check for any new software updates for OSX?

Hi @xAndre ,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to help.
I grasp that your touchscreen is not responding. When I checked the specifications for the HP ENVY 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC support , I do not see that you have a touchscreen. I know this is a CTO notebook so did you specifically order one?
Here is a link to HP TouchSmart PCs - Troubleshooting touch screen issues in Windows 8.
If you updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 you may need to activate Windows again. Here is a link to HP PCs - Updating Windows 8 to 8.1
With it being a recent purchase you may want to contact HP support for further assistance. They can remotely access your system to quickly help to alleviate issues.
I hope this helps.

Windows 8 Bootcamp Does Not Recognize External Monitor

So, my Bootcamp of Windows 8 does not recognize my external monitor when I try to plug it in. I have read that the startup must recognize the monitor during the boot process. However, I have already done this and my external monitor remains in sleep mode. My drivers are all up to date with this bootcamp and I work on programming a lot so I need a solution for this issue because going back and forth between windows of the internet and my code is not ideal for me and wastes too much time. The external monitor works when I run my OS X, just not on Windows 8. If anyone could point me in the direction of how to solve this issue, it would be greatfully appreciated.

They're downloadable. But I'm going to create a system restore point in case something happens.
The below discussion had a similar issue but with Windows 7
