Windows 8 is not recognizing my iphone4S as a device

I have a new computer that uses WIndows 8. I have installed iTunes but my iPhone 4S is not showing up in iTunes as a device.

Please see turingtest2's response. Effectively, he recommends uninstalling and reinstalling Apple software.

Windows 8.1 not recognizing Webcams

Has this problem of Windows 8.1 not recognizing webcams been fixed yet?
I updated to 8.1 and my webcam was not recognised (Microsoft Lifecam Cinema) I thought my cam may be faulty so bought a new com (Logitech C270) same problem.
So finally I reinstalled Windows 8 at the cost of losing every thing on my hard drive. I want update as I liked most of 8.1 but will not until I can use my webcams.
I went through all the rigmarole of reinstaling drivers etc. So please dont give be the stock answer of installation as its already been done.
All I need to know is if Microsoft has fixed this problem or not.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
With so many brands of webcams and cameras available, there are many reasons why something might not work. Each brand is different, so it's a good idea to check the manufacture's website for user guides and troubleshooting help.
I checked Windows Compatibility Center, found Logitech C270 Webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. However, some people still had problem with Windows 8.1.

If you have any problem with Webcam in Windows 8.1. You can provide as more as details about your problem, then we can work together to resolve this problem.

HT4061 my computer is not recognizing my iphone4s when plugged in

I got a new computer, (HP Pavillion) and it is not recognizing my iphone4s when plugged in. What to do?

You could try the PRAM and SMC reset.
Are there any other USB devices plugged into the machine, if so unplug them.
As a work around you could use a powered USB hub until you can get the problem fixed.
Use the system report to check on any anomolies in the power and USB sections.
i.e. About this Mac/more info/system report

Iphoto is not recognizing my iPad as a device to import pictures

my iPad is connected to my macbook pro, but it is not recognizing my iPad as a "device" to be able to import pictures/videos.

Is the device recognized in iTunes when you connect it with the USB cable?

My windows 7 does not recoginize my iphone as a device and I can't upload my photos...it use to do this just fine... what happened?

my windows 7 does not recoginize my iphone as a device and I can't upload my photos...it use to do this just fine... what happened? Everything is up to date, iphone, itunes.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

IPad2 is seen as a camera in Windows XP and not recognized

I've been trying to sync my iPad2 to iTunes on my Windows XP work laptop. I managed to get it to work before but for some reason it will no longer sync and is recognizing the iPad2 as a camera now rather than an iPad. iTunes no longer sees the device and I can't sync my work calendar.
Any ideas?

I have the same issue, I set my iPad2 to sync over wifi - but the PC now no longer sees it, and the only answer I've seen on the boards is to plug the iPad in via a USB cable and uncheck the box for wireless syncing... but... it's not recognizing the iPad via USB either, simply as a camera device.
... you can see the problem here, I'm sure :-)
If it isn't recognized, I don't ever see the iPad in my iTunes in order to turn off wifi sync - and on the iPad itself there is no visible way to switch it back either
Any ideas?

Window 8 is not recognizing my Ipod touch and I can no longer sync to I tunes

I can not sync my Ipod to Itunes in Windows 8. The device doesn't show in Itunes.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
Any suggestions out there?

How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

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!!!
