Can't see iphone in My Computer

I have 2 computers.
The first one: When I plug in my iphone into the USB, I can see my iPhone as a hard drive in "My Computer" and when I click on itune icon it can connect and communicate with my iPhone. This one works fine, but on the second computer, when I plug in my iPhone into the USB, I cant see the iPhone as a harddrive in the "My Computer", so my computer cannot communicate with it when I click on itune icon. My question is, how do I get my iPhone to show up in the "My Computer". I tried go to the control panel and use the Add Hardware menu, but it still cant see iPhone as a hard drive in "My Computer". I downloaded itune and re-install it but no help. Can anyone help. Im using a compaq computer and Im using Windows Xp home. I have a lot of memory and harddrive space, so that cant be the problem.

The iPhone does not support disk use, and does not show up "as a hard drive in My Computer," (at least, not for storage like an external disk drive). The iPhone differs from iPods in that aspect. If you have pics taken on the iPhone (in the iPhone's Camera Roll) then the iPhone does show up in My Computer, but you only have access to the photos in the Camera Roll.
Why do you want to connect to a second computer? Be aware that the iPhone will sync iTunes media content (music/videos/apps) with ONLY ONE computer. If you connect to a second computer, the media content loaded onto the iPhone from the first computer _will be deleted_ and replaced with the media content on the second computer.

    Can I sync iphone with another computer?

    If you do, you will lose all of your information on the phone. You can only sync to 1 itunes library at a time on 1 computer.

  • Can not see iPhone on Windows XP after updating to 1.1.1

    I can not download my pictures shot with the iPhone since I can no longer see the iPhone under 'My Computer' folder in WinXP. Prior to 1.1.1 update the phone showed up and I could copy and delete photos. Now I seem to be locked out.
    Can anyone tell me if this is a 1.1.1 bug and how to get my pictures off the iPhone?
    Thanks,

    here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • HT4528 CAN NOT SEE IPONE ON MY COMPUTER

    can not see my iphone on my computer

    Try plugging it into different USB ports. If you're plugging it into a keyboard or monitor, try plugging it directly into the box instead.
    Try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
    Since other computers see it and yours doesn't then it's likely a driver issue with your computer. You  need to try the multiple plugs, etc, to trigger that driver installation on your computer.

  • I can't charge iPhone 3GS with computer or sync

    I can't charge my iPhone with my computer, but the rest of my family can sync their iPods(two 2nd gens and one 4th gen) It works fine with the wall charger, so I know it's not the cord (Plus I've tried other cords). Also, I've tried switching the USB slot, using compressed air to see if it would clear out possible dust, trying a different computer, and many other tricks, plus completely restarting the iPhone. It wouldn't be a big deal if I could still sync it with the computer one last time so I could sync wirelessly from now on, but I can't.
    Lastly, it is out of warranty and I did not purchase the iPhone so I don't even know if I could take it to the Apple Store to see if they could fix it.

  • ITunes can't see iPhone after upgrade, phone became inactivated.

    The phone will no longer connect after upgrading software through iTunes.
    It's back to the "emergency call" screen, and "Activate your iPhone. Connect to iTunes" screen.
    When I try to connect, iTunes hangs.
    (iPhoto opens and downloads pictures!)
    Help! Any ideas?

    Marc...I think you are confused by what I am trying to say. For your iPhone to be seen by your computer/iTunes you must have a good install. I suspect that you have a bad install of iTunes "On Your COMPUTER" To fix this (and it has worked for many other users) You need to delete/uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Quick Time from "your COMPUTER".
    Download a new copy of iTunes from the apple web site and reinstall. I am only trying to assist you, this is not a windows versus mac thing...this is a user help user forum, I do not (and you can check my posts) play the this is better then that game.
    I want to help you fix your problem which I just did with another user have a similiar problem to yours, so that you can enjoy your iPhone like the others that assist in these forums.
    Hope this helps,
    Good Luck

    All iPad 4s have the A6X chip in it - if you type in the iPad's serial number (Settings > General > About > Serial Number) in on this page then that will confirm whether it's an iPad 4

  • Mac Book Pro can't see Window's 7 computer on network

    I have a MAC Book Pro on my network which I am able to see from my Windows 7 computer as well as access and send files, but I can't get my Mac to see my Windows 7 computer at all. 
    I have set up sharing in W-7 and have identified folders to share.
    What am I missing

  • Can't see files on one computer

    This isn't a linksys issue, but likley one with my old computer.
    On my new one, connected to a WRT54GC I'm running XP Home, I can see the old computer, but can't access it. On the old one, also running XP home and connected with a wireless linksys USB adapter, I can see the new computer and can access the files I have set to share.
    I have run the wizard on the old one several (I mean SEVERAL) times. I still had to manually set up files for sharing, and I see the little hand under the folders I want to share, but I can't see them on the new computer. The old computer has the XP firewall turned off.
    I see everything I need from the new on the old computer, can print on the printer connected to the new computer, but can't see the old computer in 'my network places'. The EasyLink adviser sees the old computer.
    When I view workgroup computers on the new one, and click on the icon for the old computer, I get a message that I might not have permission, but as far as I can tell, permission is set on the old one.
    Is there something I'm missing to give the new computer permission to access the old one?

    I'm having this exact issue.
    I have WRT54GC as well.
    Two old desktop computers (win XP Home) are running on a wired connection, one (new) wireless laptop (win XP Media). All are connected to internet no problem, but none can see each other. I have run the network setup wizard several times on both desktops. It seems successful, but then I cannot view workgroup computers and I cannot print to network printers. "Improper permissions."
    What is going on here and how can i fix it?

    We are all itunes users just like you.  We can do nothing.
    What do you mean "I cant not see it on my computer"?
    You cannot fond the movie?  Where did you look?
    Did it download?  Have you tried Store>Check for Available downloads.
    The movie is there but it won't play?

  • Can not see iphone

    i plugged my friends iphone into my laptop, and although i can see it in iphoto and itunes, i can't see it on my desktop. any ideas?

    Hello John,
    That is normal behavior. The iPhone does not support "Disk Mode" like most iPods do, so it will not show up on the Desktop as a storage device.
    Some additional information can be found in the iPhone User's Guide:

    Take care,
