Windows & iTunes Does Not Recognize iPhone 4 But It Charges?

I have an iPhone 4 16 GB Factory Unlocked. Yesterday it was fully working. I don't know why, today, my PC doesn't recognize it, even as an camera. I don't see Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed in the device manager. Tried several programs concerned with iPhone, but no luck.
Uninstalled everything related Apple like iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Application Support etc., and used a program called "ByeTunes". Reinstalled iTunes but it does not work. I tried plugging it to my laptop, still doesn't work.
Also, I'm using Windows 7 x64, and re-installed Apple Mobile Device Support for 64-bit several times. It didn't work.
However my phone charges, does not beep that plugging sound or show charging indicator but the battery level increases, when I plug it to my computer. But when I try to charge with firewire it works.
And last, my PC can recognize my phone in DFU mode, fortunately. But I'm afraid of being stucked at restoring process.
What should I do?
Thanks.

I am facing the same issue. Tried everything like, Reinstall Itunes, Tries the sync on 3 diffrent laptops with windoes 7, XP and vista, Connecting in restore mode, DFU, Apple mobile devices restarted..nothing has worked. I am not sure if i do "erase all setting and content" will help  because if the i tunes cant recognise the i phone now, then after erasing everything will it recognise to restore??
Can any 1 help if i do " erase all setting and content" will help and will itunes recognise the iphone then?

  • After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

    After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
    I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
    Please help with this problem
    Thanks

    You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
    The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

  • ITunes will not recognize iPhone 3gs, but the phone charges. I've tried everything!

    Hi
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
    I've tried a different USB port.
    I've turned the phone off and on.
    I've restarted the computer.
    I've restarted the AMDS.
    I have all the latest updates.
    I'm using an iPhone 3GS on a Windows 7 laptop.
    I have no other problems with the phone, and I did nothing to make it unrecognizable.
    My computer recognizes it as a device, but iTunes doesn't.
    iTunes does however recognize my iPod.
    Please help me!!!

    Does you have tried everything include verifying the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed, checking for 3rd party mobile phone software installed on your computer, and troubleshooting 3rd party security software?

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano, but it charges

    Hey. If I plug my ipod into my laptop and computer, it does not recognize my ipod. It pops up a message that says that a unrecognizable usb device has been plugged in. It has, however, worked in the past. The ipod charges, but I'm not able to use it as a flash drive or to upload music or anything like that. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for the link. It didn't solve the issue on my mother in law's desktop, but it did contain a link to another solution for desktops (and for laptops not helped by the link you provided).
    The link reads: "If you don't have a PC laptop or the steps above did not help, see this document for more information."
    Essentially, putting the iPod into disc mode caused it to be recognized by XP and all was well.
    Anyway, your help is much appreciated as it's particularly difficult for me to work in the Windows enviroment since I so rarely do it.

  • ITunes does not recognize my ipad, but my computer does as a camera. I NEED TO FIX THIS TO UPGRADE.

    How can I get itunes to recognize my ipad? I've gone through all the troubleshooting I could find at itunes and apple. I'm getting really frustrated and really want to update my pad...

    iTunes would not recognize my iPad2 *after* I updated to iOS 5, which kept me from syncing all of the content that the update failed to transfer.  I read this suggestion somewhere and it worked for me:
    1.  Hold down the home button and the sleep/wake (power) button at the same time for 10 seconds.  Ignore the red power-off slider if it appears.
    2.  Release the sleep/wake (power) button but continue to hold the home button down for 15 seconds longer. 
    3.  The iPad will go black.
    4.  With iTunes open, connect the iPad to your computer with USB cable.
    5.  The Apple log should appear on your iPad.
    6.  iTunes may take a few seconds to recognize the iPad, but it should do so eventually. 
    7.  You may see the beachball before iTunes recognizes the iPad, but don't give up and don't force quit unless it goes on for several minutes.
    This may not work for you, but it's worth a try.

  • Itunes does not recognize iphone during os update

    During the update of the os the phone swiches to recovery iboot mode. The pc then loses contact and doesn't recognize it anymore. When i attach the phone to another pc it recognizes the recover mode of the phone and it can be switch back to factory settings.
    Everytime i start itunes it gives an message:
    The software needed for communication with Ipods and mobile phones is not corectly installed. Do you want iTunes to repair the problem.
    But the fix is apperently not working because the next time i start the message remains.
    The problem of not recognizing the ipone does not exsist during normal iphone sync, only after installing a new OS.
    I already tried:
    - removing itunes, all drivers, all apple software and reinstalling everything
    - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    - i only found this error message in the log iPod Service:
    cannot find event-id 0 from source iPod Service. [...] service started
    Anybody any suggestions? Please let me know?

  • ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

    Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
    Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables. 
    If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
    But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection.  The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect.  The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot.  This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
    BTW, I do have other choices.  I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize Iphone as Camera

    Hi,
    i recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) on my PC and syncing my Iphone (OS 3.0) with Itunes 9 works fine. BUT the Iphone is not recognized as a Digital Camera anymore, so no Dialog pops up when i connect it and i am not able to import Photos to my Computer. Device Manager only displays it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". Is there anything i can do to fix this Problem? Thanks in Advance!

    Not sure if there is anything you can do since I don't believe Windows 7 is supported with the iPhone, which hasn't been officially released.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

    Howdy AndieKanaras,
    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:
