Windows is not recognizing particularly my Iphone 4

First of all im using a iphone 4 running iOs 6.0.1 and a windows vista i5 pc.
the problem im getting is that windows won't recognize MY iphone4 while it recognized Other people's iphone 4 and 4s.
My iphone was previously synced with my OLD laptop running Vista so when i switched to windows 7,it didn't recognized my iphone at all,nor as a camera nor in itunes.
i have restored my iphone 4 couple of times but it fails to connect,and also updated my itunes  to latest versions,perhaps everything is up to date
i have re-installed itunes but it didn't worked. Itunes work perfectly with ipods and ipads but not my phone.
Another problem i encountered is that i'am unable to restore my phone from my old computer and it failed to update iphone to latest ios,as it always gives an error,
So I restored my iphone through factory settings. In a way i have been using iphone on its own.
The problem, is why the heck my iphone is not showing up in windows

Try a hard reset (hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo - this can take up to a minute).
If you still don't see the logo, try while plugged into the wall.
Still nothing? Try the reset while plugged into a computer that has iTunes open on the screen, this puts the iPhone into Recovery Mode, forcing it to restore (and while this means that you need to wipe the iPhone, you can get most of your information back if you sync regularly).
If all the above fails, you will need to get the iPhone serviced.

  • HP 5470c Scanjet on Windows 7 not recognized / will not initialize

    Scanner first set up on Windows Xp system. New HP p6710f desktop purchased last year with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which recognized the scanner on USB and worked flawlessly . Recently rearranged the office which required disconnecting the peripherals, and now the scanner is not recognized .
    The product support area on this website says the scanner is not supported on WIn 7 .  How then did it work previously ?
    And why would HP discontinue support for a product that still has a long useable life ? Is this just a ruse to encourage purchase of new products ? Should the baby be thrown out with the wash water ?
    I am not a computer guru , but suspect a 'driver' is needed to get operational again ?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered .

  • Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

    I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
    It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
    Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

    One thing that might help.
    When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
    Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
    In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
    The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
    If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
    If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPad or iPhone via wireless

    I've been noticing that since the last iTunes update iTunes won't recognize my iPad or iPhone via my wireless connection when I launch iTunes. I have to manually plug each one in to sync, and this has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks.
    At first it was only sometimes, then it was just the iPhone, then it was just the iPad, then it would alternate between the two, and now it won't recognize either.
    Do I have something off in my settings, or is this a bug in the new iTunes system?
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    Hey jzzlvr57,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the device isn't showing up in iTunes. I would recommend that you read one of these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
