Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

Hello,
I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.
Thank you very much.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS on Windows 7

Hi guys, I knew it is an old topic. I just want to know if there was a solution to this sucking problem.
The problem is that the iTunes simply doesn't recognize my iPhone while the Windows does. The related services runs well and the iPhone was recognized as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in the device manager.
btw. I'm not an Apple fan nor do I like the philosophy of Apple. I didn't want to buy an iPhone for myself. But unfortunately I received one as a gift. And now I have to bother you guys and waste my time on it:(
But anyhow thank you if you can help me.

Itunes not recognizing iphone 3gs or ipod touch 4th gen

My two sons ipod touch 4th generations were not being recognized by itunes, (they were previously, and I have not changed anything). I went through apple supports steps up to uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
They are still not being recognized and now my iphone isn't either.
The computer sees them all and asks if I want to download photos from them etc.
itunes is seeing my ipod shuffle and my 2nd gen ipod ok.
My iphone and the ipod touches are running on version 4.3.5.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

Re: iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5
Feb 16, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to oryyx)
Had this problem this morning.
Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
This morning had the problem,too.
Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

I had this exact same problem and just figured out how to fix it. I had to reload the driver on the iphone5 in order for itunes to recognize the device. Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

What will i do with my ipad stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

what will i do with my ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

if that dose not work then you can always put it into DFU mode by connecting to your computer and holding down the home button and sleep/wake button for excatly 10 seconds and then relesing the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the homebutton till iTunes tells you it has detected an iPad in recovery mode then just do a restore

Check first if your iTunes is up-to-date. If it's updated, try using a different cable or try plugging it to a different USB port.

Windows and itune not recognizing my ipod shuffle

i got ipod shuffle 2 weeks before .it was working for 2 days. after that i got no response frm other day.now my windows and itune is not showing my ipod and when i connect it to my system orange light blink for three times and then stops.
please do help me...

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
Please help!!!

ITunes and Computer not Recognizing iPhone

I've had iPhone for a few weeks and no major problems. However, today I attached it to my computer to move some new songs from iTunes to iPhone and iTunes did not recognize my iPhone and my computer gave me the "found new hardware" message. What's up with this?

IMac/iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5s

I have a 2010 iMac running OS X Yosemite (10.10.3) and iTunes 12.1.2.27. I also have the following IOS devices all running 8.3 of IOS:
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5
iPad Air 2
iPad Air
iTunes recognizes the iPhone 5 and both iPads every time right away. It fails to recognize the iPhone 5s 95% of the time. I can't point to any logical reason why but occasionally, the iMac/iTunes will recognize the iPhone 5s. I've been into the genius bar twice. The phone was recognized both times. It is also recognized if I plug it into my Windows PC. It's not the cable or USB port because if I plug in one of my other devices, they are immediately recognized. It's not the hardware of the iPhone 5s because it is recognized by the genius bar laptops and my Windows PC.
I have a support ticket open with Apple and Level 2 is working on it but I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone has any suggestions. It acts like it is a software conflict somewhere in my iMac. If you have any suggestions other than the standard Apple support doc of try these things when you can't connect, please post them there. Thanks.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 4S (Tried everything)

I have tried everything possible to try and get iTunes to recognize my phone. Nothing has worked. I have uninstalled everything to do with Apple, reinstalled, restart my computer, put my phone in recovery mode, shut off internet while doing those again, tried a different cord and nothing worked. I'm not sure what else there is to do. I haven't called Apple because most likely there isn't an answer they can give me. I don't have another computer to try this on so I can't do that. If anybody could help me it would be greatly appreciated. (Also sorry if this is the wrong section )

MBP not recognizing IPhone 3gs

Today and yesterday I have been unable to get my computer to recognize my IPhone. I have seen several topics on what to do if it is a windows computer, but I do not have windows. I have a MBP running OS X(10.6.4), I have iTunes 9.2 and I have upgraded my phone to OS 4. It has been several weeks since I upgrade and I have not had any issues until today and yesterday. As recently as Friday I have had my phone plugged into my computer and it was working fine. However, now when I plug it in, it does not charge and it also does not recognize in iTunes. However, when I use the same cable to plug into the wall it charges fine, and if I dock my phone in my alarm clock it will also charge fine.
Thanks for any replies.

There's not much else we can do on this forum then. I'd suggest making an appointment at an Apple store & taking your phone & computer, the geniuses should be able to sort this out. Make sure you backup your phone & all important data on your computer BEFORE you go.
