Iphone Finally Works!!!

Well I've posted on here a dozen times about how my iphone wasn't being recongnized by itunes on my PC. Well today i finally figured it out.

Back when updating itunes for 7.3, my firewall was popping up saying that certain apple programs wanted to connect to the internet. I have it set so that i'll prompt me anytime some program wants to connect. Well after about five prompts i was getting annoyed and i must have hit block access instead of allow.

So an application called applemobledeviceservice.exe was being blocked by my firewall from connecting to the internet. So anytime I was plugging the iphone in, the correct prompt wasn't happening to connect to the internet to allow it to be listed in itunes.

I don't know what made me think of this but I went into my firewall settings and saw that it was blocked. I changed it to allow access and it worked.

Finally i can now sync from my own computer. This is a friggin relief. If anyone else has this problem, try checking your firewall settings.

You don't have to put up with all that firewall and virus protector crap with a Mac
