Windows does not recognize iPhone 5S as device

Hallo,
For the past two weeks, my Windows 7 does not recognize my iPhone 5S as a device. This means I cannot download any media content captured with the device.
I have already followed the instructions posted on several Apple community topics re this issue, specifically the ones on checking the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When connecting the phone, the Apple USB driver does show as a bus controller. I've checked for updates, and it shows that I have the latest version and that the bus controller functions correctly. The phone is also picked up by iTunes, although iTunes doesn't not start automatically like before. I'm using an Apple cable. Still, the device is not picked up by Windows.
Can anyone help, please?

Did you check all of the steps in this support document iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows especially the ones about the Apple USB driver installation? Did you try removing and reinstalling iTunes as suggested and outlined in this support document? Make sure you follow those steps exactly. Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Windows does not recognize iPhone

    Hi
    After I upgraded my iPhone to iOS8 it won't recognized by pc ( windows 7 , 64 bit ) as portable device . I did every thing to resolve that like update iTunes , update diver , delete some photos , restart pc and iPhone , using troubleshoot , check usb cable , removing programs which I recently installed , check usb port but the problem does not resolved . iTunes recognize iPhone but not pc . I try another pc and there wasn't any problem on that pc . Please tell me what can I do ?
    thanks

    So just for reference, the problem has been solved. I don't know what changed, but tonight when I connected my phone, Windows tried to run the "found new hardware wizard." I can't explain why. I hadn't changed any settings since last night when I connected and reconnected my phone at least a dozen times. The only thing I did between then and now was shut down.
    Anyhow, when the Wizard started, I remembered a tip I had found here several months ago when I was having a similar problem with my iPod. I directed Windows to search for drivers in C:\WINDOWS\inf. The wizard found whatever it needed in that directory and now my PC recognizes my iPhone as a camera.
    Can't explain what changed, but go figure. Thank you Windows for being as inscrutable as ever.

    As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users.  Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

    You are installing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver, which I did not have to do previously, so something in the updates has been left out / or changed. 

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • USB device (1 day old nano) has malfunctioned & windows does not recognize

    Please can someone help a non-tech savy new ipod user. I have loaded the latest itunes, but not only does itunes not see my ipod, I get the following windows error when I plug it in. "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". It says no drivers are loaded for this device. I have followed the 5Rs including the windows updates with no luck. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    You listed as having an IBM r40. If I'm not mistaken, that's a laptop. The usb ports on many laptops aren't USB 2.0 or are low power ones. This can cause problems with a nano being able to charge.
    One thing to try is to get a wall adapter to charge the nano separately, then connect to your computer for syncing only. You can find adapters locally and through Apple Store. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=C39 415D1&nclm=iPodPower
    You can also try buying a POWERED usb hub. Make sure it has it's own power source so that its ports have enough charge to support the nano.

  • Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

    I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

    Hey everyone,
    I had the same problems all of you are having. I
    just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
    days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
    up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
    storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
    notebook card which didn't work either and actually
    seemed to make the problem worse because when I
    connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
    I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
    brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
    still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
    Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
    an older version of the ipod software. I used his
    disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
    the new version of the software on the Apple Web
    site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
    To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
    iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
    believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
    of the software is faulty in some way.
    Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
    need an older version of the iPod updater software,
    so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
    I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

    Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

    I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
    I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?
    Windows 7 and iPad 2
    Kind regards,

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

  • My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

    My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
