My laptop won't recognize my iPhone 5?
At the moment, I'm trying to sync music from my iTunes library to my phone. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop using a USB cord, my phone vibrates and starts to charge, but iTunes (and my laptop as a whole) does not recognize my device. When I go to my 'This PC' folder, no devices are listed. Any recommendations?

Yeah
Install the USB driver for it. Or scan for devices using iTunes, if putting in directly doesn't work.
Sounds like something else did not install when your iPhone and iTunes were communicating with each other. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes or one that is compatible with your iPhones iOS version, have downloaded the correct device drivers for your OS and handset (advanced), and that your cable is not damaged in any way.

- Why won't my new computer recognize that my iPhone is plugged in? I recently got a new computer, but all of my information for my iPhone is on my old computer. When I plug up my iPhone to my computer, it doesn't register that it is plugged in. Nothing is wrong with my charger and nothing is wrong with my computer. I don't know what to do to get my information from my iPhone onto my new computer and to my iTunes.
- Why won't my computer recognize the music on my iPhone? I can play the music on my iPhone, and I want to update my phone but not lose my music. Some of it was not purchased on iTunes, but I have used programs that transfer music to computer without the help of iTunes, and they don't recognize my music either! ITunes won't even recognize the music i have purchased from the iTunes store. I want to restore my iphone and thats why i need to get my music onto my computer. It is an iphone 4s running on 5.0.1.
- Why can't my laptop recognize any apple device. Any solutions? I tried connecting my ipod nano and my iphone 4 to my laptop but "device was not successfully installed" keeps on popping out.

I tried uninstalling then reinstalling but it still says that I tunes is not properly installed. so far I got 2 problems at the moment. Thanks in advance. btw. My laptop is windows 7 professional.
