Official Windows 7 iPhone Help Thread

For those of you with 64 bit capable computers, Windows 7 (except the Starter version) will install in 64 bit mode.

If you try to run the same iTunes setup program that you ran on your older 32 bit computer, note that Windows 7 will advise you to download the 64 bit version of the iTunes setup program. I just did it here on a new notebook (just bought notebook today), and the setup went the same as for a 32 bit system.

Hey All-

I just came here as I am having problems with having my iphone sync to my itunes.

When I plug the USB in, the phone charges, however, the system gives me no option to install the iphone as any type of device.

I purchased this new DELL PC yesterday with Windows 7 Premium (64Bit) and even called Dell to let them know of the issue. All my other USB devices seem to work properly and are recognized directly upon connection, but nothing with the Iphone.

I checked the device manager, and nothing is even listed, not even the Apple Driver. I manually added the driver to the drivers folder but still had no response after resetting the computer.

Dell had told me I may have to do a complete restore on the system as drivers may not have been properly installed when the factory imaged the computer, so I did - with no luck.

Anyone have any idea why this might be?

You'll have better luck getting your question answered if you ask it in the jailbreak forum, rather than the middle of a thread answering questions about Windows 7.

I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 by doing a clean install. I'm just syncing my iPhone for the first time since, and I noticed that under the "Photos" tab of the iPhone menu, you can't select specific folders within My Pictures anymore. Is there any way to enable this?
