Windows 7 sees my phone as my husband's..

Windows 7 (64-bit) no longer recognizes my phone as the name that I originally set up for it. It sees it as my husband's phone. This only started after updating to iOS5 and the latest iTunes. Does anyone know how I can fix this? When we set up our phones we named them after our first names. When I plug my phone into my computer Windows sees that a phone has been plugged in, but it sees it as my husband's and not mine. iTunes still sees it as my phone though. I changed the name of my iphone and restarted my computer but the same thing is happening. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.

Sadly, no. It shows up as a "portable device" and a "digital camera." I can go to properties and highlight the incorrect name, but cant edit it or delete it.
I found this with a Google search:
You can change the name text in the '[Strings]' section of the .INF file included with the driver (edit it with Notepad), then run the setup.exe. Windows will then display that name in "Devices and Printers" and "Device Manager".
Meh. I like Apple because 90% of the time you just plug it in and it works without issue. I'm not comfortable editing .INF files. I shouldn't have to. I'd be curious to know if this issue is happening to Mac users after the iOS5 update. I wonder if it has to do with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver that was automatically installed after I updated her phone to iOS 5. I did mine first and then hers. Perhaps if I updated my phone after hers it would display only my phone name for both phones.

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

I would like to use Lightroom. I have Windows desktop, Galaxy S5 phone(android), and iPad. Is this all compatible?

Lightroom 5 is supported in Windows 7 or newer. You will be able to use Lightroom Mobile on the iPad, but Lightroom Mobile is not yet supported on Android devices. That support is suspected to be added sometime in the future. Also, take note that you must have a creative cloud account in order to use Lightroom mobile.

When I have my "iMessages" turned on, and I text my friends with iMessage as well, when they reply to my message their reply comes to my phone and my husbands phone as well. Why is this?

HT4972 i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

Hi Kevin,
The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired. For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

Neither my computer nor iTunes sees my phone...phone to frozen on the download screen

Neither my computer nor iTunes sees my phone...phone froze on the download screen when iTunes attempted to update. I can't restart or turn off phone. Any ideas anybody?

You could use a third party app on your computer, that uses the iPhone as just an external disk.
There are several like iExplorer, Diskaid, Phonedisk, etc.

When I plug my connector cord between my iphone 4 and my laptop, it suddenly does not charge anymore like it always has before, although iTunes sees my phone. Any ideas?

When I plug the connector cord between my iPhone 4 and my laptop, it does not charge now (as it always has in the past), although iTunes definitely sees my phone (so the connection is good). This also happened when I tried to charge my iphone in my car with an adaptor which used to work before too. Any ideas on why my phone is suddenly not charging anymore??

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm on the phone with my Husband and I take the phone from my face and there is this red light. It's creepy, when I put my headphones in it went away.

You might be seeing the proximity sensor. It is how the phone tells when it's near your face and blanks the screen so you don't accidentally touch things with your cheek. It's near the front facing camera.

Jabber 10.5 for Windows + App Dial Rules + Phone Control Mode

I am using all 10.5.
I have Jabber for Windows integrated with Outlook. I have Application Dial Rules set up to handle converting numbers to what I need by stripping, adding 9s, adding 1s, etc. It all works great when I'm using Jabber as a soft phone.
My problem is that almost nobody in the company has a PC camera/mic/speakers. So all of the Jabber clients will be in phone control mode. Because the call originates from the phone and not from an application, the Application Dial Rules get bypassed. I understand why this is happening but I'm hoping there is a way around it. Is there some setting that tells CUCM to notice that there was a CTI call to the phone from an application requesting that it make the call or something like that where CUCM realizes that the request "initially" came from a Jabber client?
OR is there some way for me to put in route patterns similar to the App Dial Rules but specify that those patterns are only available when the number is sent enblock so they don't mess with regular dialing?

Why dont you apply called party transformation rules and modify the called number as per your need.
