Hi PhantomAus,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like iTunes is not recognizing an iOS device. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Using windows xp and do not see the bookmark button

using windows xp I do not see the bookmarks button to the right side of the screen. Is this normal? If not , how do I fix it.

Thanks for your help, after reading your post I really didn't understand what you were saying. I did however figure it out and realized your instructions were right on.

ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

Hi Erik,
Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
6. REBOOT your PC.
7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
8. Plug in your iPhone.
If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
Goodluck all!
Cheers.

Windows 8 and itunes not syncing to ipod

I just got windows 8 and upgraded itunes. I lost all of my old playlists and the new ones that I created will not sync. Any advice

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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.

4 days and no response...really??

Ipod not updating and Itunes not seeing my folder

I recently added Itunes to a brand new laptop and apon hooking up my 30 GB video ipod, I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new Ipod. However, I also noticed that under my computer, the Ipod doesn't show up. Also all of my original Ipod files are still on my ipod but not showing up in Itunes....any ideas of what the problem maybe. Itunes does recognize my ipod, by name but and added the files off of my new laptop but thats about all it does. No updating the actual Ipod.

Typo correction on my topic post: I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new laptop.

IPhone (and iTunes) not seeing music, podcast on iPhone.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, and several days after updating to 3.0.1 and using my iPhone without any trouble it has stopped seeing that it has music, podcasts, videos and custom ringtones on it. However, it does recognize that it has that amount of drive space occupied by "Other" items (when viewed in iTunes.)
On the iPhone itself, in Settings > About, it also shows that the correct amount of space is used, but it shows 0 songs, podcasts, etc.
I've searched around online but haven't found any mention of others having this problem... Any idea what might have gone wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Something went wrong with the sync process, which can occur if the sync process is interrupted.
The only way to resolve this is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before doing so to update your iPhone's backup and any data that is kept synchronized.

Ipod plugged in with light turned on, but computer and itunes not seeing it

I got this ipod as a gift and when I first plugged it in, it worked fine and I put my music on it.
I went to do it again the other day and it does not show up on my computer or in my itunes.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes multiple times and i've gone through the steps of the help pages on itunes.
Today, it did pop up and said it was going to reset it and then it would restart it automatically when it was done, but it still did not show up on itunes!
Help!!!

Thank you all very much for the advice!! I really appreciate it... it helped me figure out how to open up the files.
I swear I think they make these harder and harder just so we spend more and more money just to get useless software and technology....UGH!!!
I was sweating bullets, I had video on my phone that is part of a civil case for me. Without it, I was pretty much screwed.
I'm just happy I have it now!!!
Thank you all again very much!!! I'm thankful these boards exist....

Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

I have 64 bit windows 7- and itunes version 10.6.1.7. yet i cannot connect to the store- anbody can help?

i have 64 bit windows 7- and itunes version 10.6.1.7. yet i cannot connect to the itunes store. do i need to download something additional?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Just installed CC on my PC, Windows 7, 64 bit system. Not seeing any applications on the desktop or installation folder. However, all the resource files are present in the installation folder. What am I doing wrong?

I've installed three times with no luck. I downloaded the Creative Cloud Packager off the licensing site: https://licensing.adobe.com. I unpacked and choose my applications. The install seemed to be successful, but I don't so any of the applications anywhere.

Hi,
Creating package doesn't mean it will install the product,
You will need to install the package now. Please follow the instructions mentioned in the below articles
Creative Cloud Help | Creating or editing packages
Creative Cloud Help | Deploying packages
Please let me know if it doesn't help.

Windows 8 and itunes can not detect itouch

I have windows 8 and itunes will not detect my itouch? Any tips?

Chris CA, I am having the same problem. I actually just purchased a brand new laptop (w/ Windows 8 already installed) and had to download itunes latest version (ver. 11) and am having the same problems. As my itunes seems compatible with my Windows 8, my itouch device can not be recognized by itunes or in the "my computer" folder.
perhaps this more of a windows 8 issue and not an itunes issue?
PS, i have OS4 on my itouch, could this be a problem as well?
Thanks!
Petit
