    2. Turn off the computer and leave it unplugged overnight
    3. Completely uninstall all the drivers and the software associated with the kid.
    4. manual installation of drivers
    5. uninstall the unknown device and search for new hardware
    6. uninstall the unknown device and do a search for legacy hardware (which produces a device does not not (Code 10) error)
    7. Go back to a restore point before updating the last windows

I tried everything that looks like finding the Universal Serial Bus thing and turn off my limitations and download and redownloading iTunes.

Someone please just help me please

    Hi BrittLeighCass,

    I understand that you are not able to get iTunes to recognize your iPhone, now that you have updated your iPhone to iOS 10. That you have described here some quite impressive troubleshooting in-depth. Fortunately, however, it may well be a few additional things to try in this situation.

    First of all, let's make sure that iTunes is completely up to date: iTunes - download iTunes

    If the update to iTunes is not your iPhone appears, see if there are all the steps described in the article below that you do not have covered still.

    You don't say anything on your computer.  I don't even know if it's a Mac or a PC. This may apply to you:

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

    After you download the photos on my iphone, windows 7 does not recognize my iphone. in other words when I open my computer the iphnoe isn't here; but in Panel, in devices and printers, it appears with unspecified Apple Mobile Device USB driver, in the form of a generic icon.

    When I run Auto Play in the search box; the iphone is there with the icon to the right, but there is no screen options menu. It behaves as if it were invisible.

    It is important to note that this started AFTER downloading the pictures for the first time. Until windows has always recognized my camera properly.

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone

    Hello

    Because I downloaded Windows 10, iTunes (version 12.4) does not recognize my iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.2). When I plug my phone into my laptop, my laptop recognize my phone and it loads normally, but with iTunes nothing happens.

    Any tips? (Sorry if I made some mistakes in English)

    If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

    1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
    4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
      C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

    To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.

    • USB Bus controllers
    • Imaging devices
    • Portable devices
    • Other devices

    Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

    Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support

    If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

  • My laptop does not recognize that anything that is connected to the USB ports

    Help, please. My laptop does not recognize that anything that is connected to the USB ports.

    Moved from feedback

    Original title: problems with USB ports

    Hi Alba.

    1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

    • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
    • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
    • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
    • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable
    • External drive can enter selective suspend
    • Your PC motherboard may need updated drivers

    I suggest to connect the USB device to a different USB port and check.

    You can run the Fixit provided in the article and the Coachman.

  • Windows XP does not recognize the iPhone - device not recognized error

    I am running Windows XP (SP2 I believe) and whenever I plug in my iPhone I get the error not recognized USB device. If iTunes does not recognize it and I can't sync. My guess is that I'm missing or have an updated driver, but I don't know how to install. If it makes a difference, I am using a brand new MacBook Pro and Windows XP via Parallels Desktop. I don't think it's the question, though, as I used to be able to sync with my Manager (ACT!) contacts via Outlook. It seems to be simply a function of Windows is not able to identify the iPhone via USB. A simple solution would be appreciated, but I'll take complicated if that's all that's available.

    Hello abogadopeter,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    This question has been a known issue that seems by Parallels. I did some research and read through some of the threads for workarounds. He doesn't seem to be a conclusive solution, but works to some extent. You can take a look at http://forum.parallels.com/search.php and simply search for ipod and look through some of these institutions.
