Windows 7 (32-Bit) - iTunes won't recognize iphone!?

Can you please tell me if this will work with the IPOD CLASSIC 80GB? I cannot get iTunes 9.0.2 to recognize my IPOD. I got a new Dell computer with Windows 7 and downloaded version 9.0.2 64-bit and it won't recognize my IPOD. I did not back up my iTunes on my old computer because I want to start from scratch with my new computer since I have my CDs and Movies on disc. I have been looking at forums with the same problem but no solutions. Wondering if you think your solution with IPHONE would work....Thanks

Will this solution also work with Windows 7 32-bit Windows Ultimate?

I just had my Dell computer upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and can't get the computer to recognize iTunes.

Thanks,

DressyFemme,

Hiya, try right-clicking on itunes desktop link. Then, select 'Troubleshoot Compatibility' and run it in compatibility mode. This usually fixes problems such as yours. It is more of a short-term fix but should enable you to access your itunes.

Hope this helps,

I Have just tried the lesMISerable (whatever) program to extract the drivers, tried updating them an windows 7 said that the best one for my device is already installed.

I am currently running windows 7 64 bit with a M61PME-S2P Gigabyte Motherboard.

Hi kenchi123,

I have Windows 7 32-bit and I have the same problem. I followed every step that you told. Windows installed my driver as a USB device (which I saw in the Device Manager). But iTunes still gives the error message ("could not recognize your device, please uninstall and install itunes"). Moreover, when I unplug the iphone and plug back in, it shows the iphone icon in auto start but I guess it still detects it as a camera device (it gives options to import pictures etc). Please help me out on this.

Thanks..

Hi cdnfs,

I see iphone as a camera device as well as a USB mobile device in device manager. Please help me out on this.

Thanks..

i have done all the recommendations that are on the forum. none are working. running win7 64bit. mine won't even recognize it as anything. just says unknown device. any help? i'm trying iphone and ipod classic.

as with the person above, my pc recognizes the iphone, not itunes.

i updated bios, problem persists.

when i try the above method, when im trying to install the driver on my phone, it says it is unable to find the driver software even though its in the right directory

anytime

im not a professional tech support or anything, just a little into computers
+ some time spent searching google

This solution was 100% correct and completely solved the problem on my new Windows 7 64-bit installation. THANKS!

Installed Win7 Ultimate 32 bit (as an upgrade from Vista) today and had the problem of the iPhone not being seen in iTunes.
Your fix did the job.

Happy New Year to you!!

I uploaded les MSIerables for those who had trouble finding it. Also just in case the old links to it go dead...

Any solution anyone? Please help me out. I am not able to sync my iPhone.
