Added (1). How do i find out what windows xp version i have? And yep the latest version of itunes

also what's a sync cable isn't the charging cable the same?
i already have uninstalled itunes and did a cc clean everythings all good

Are you using the latest version of iTunes? Are you using Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later? All of which are required to access the iPhone 5.

First off ensure that itunes is the newest version from the download apple site. If so try uninstalling and cleaning your system with CCleaner then reinstall.
mind that the iPhone 5 has a higher requirement on USB and it is preferred to run USB2 and higher ports for syncing with a PC. Also be sure that you actually have a SYNC cable and not just a charging cable plugged in

  • ITunes help? ITunes purchases won't sync with iphone? So I have an item (an radio show-aka a "song") that shows up in my itunes as purchased, but if I go onto my phone it doesn't say that: It just tells me how much it is like I have not purchased it. I've checked in my purchased files, and it's not there on my phone. I can't sync my phone to my itunes at the moment… Is there any way to get that item onto my phone? Would re-buying it actually charge me?
  • IPHONE 5 help! Can't record video problems? Hi, i just bought the iphone 5 a month ago. I deleted all of my photos on my phone and i only have 3 apps that were downloaded on my phone. I have a 16gb iphone 5 and only 13.5gb has been used.i've used the video option plenty of times before (recording well over 10 minutes) and i've deleted every video i've ever recorded.
