Computer can't detect iphone 4, only detected as camera

My friend lent me his iphone 4 until i can change my phone, so i went home and connected it to my computer but it only detected it as a still camera.
I tried reinstalling itunes and all other advice suggested by people but it still can't be detected. But when I connected it to my brother's computer itdetected it right away. Anyone knows a solution to this? i owned an iphone 3gs before but never encountered this problem. Any help would be great. Thanks

It is a camera, that is all a computer will ever detect an iPhone as.
Is the issue that iTunes does not detect the device?  If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538

  • My computer can not detect a camera on my iphone 4S

    When I connect my phone to my computer, it says it can not detect a camera and I can't download my pictures/videos.  How can I fix this?

    gdgmacguy asked for the OS your computer is running, why exactly did you think anyone wanted to know the version of iTunes on the computer?
    Seems like there may be a user issue here.  Try replacing the user, see if that resolves the problem.

    but still my iPhone can't be detected by my computer
    the problem is, my Windows can't detect the iPhone.
    there's always a pop-up ballon that says "USB Device Not Recognized"
    and my iPhone shows a picture that i have to connect USB to iTunes.
    i tried to restart the iPhone too, but i still can't use my iPhone.
    I'm very depressed right now.
    Were are you able to *Verify iPhone Driver/Service Installation*, as mentioned in the article I linked above?
    Try restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567.
    Also, what security software is running on the PC? If you haven't already, try to update, reconfigure, or uninstall it while testing. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 provides additional tips that will help rule out security software issues.

    Thanks

    Did you plug the player into the computer before installing the software that came on the CD? If so that might be the problem...

  • Computer can't detect airport

    Hi, I'm trying to install an old airport express on someone else's computer but the computer can't detect the born

    The modem will connect to the first device that it sees, so this tells us that the modem has associated with, and will remember your computer.
    When you connect the AirPort to the modem, the modem still looks for your computer, but cannot find it, so it refuses to issue an IP address to the AirPort since it has not associated with the AirPort.
    So, you need to make the modem "forget" your computer. You do that by pushing the reset button on the modem....if present...and then powering off the modem completely for at least 30 minutes. Longer is better. Pull the power supply from the back of the modem or unplug from the wall.
    Power off the AirPort Express as well
    After the power down period, power up the modem and let it run for 10-15 minutes by itself.
    Then, power up the AirPort Express and let it run for 5-10 minutes.
    If the Apple Store configured the AirPort correctly, you will have an Internet connection now. If not, then we have to go back to square one and completely reset the AirPort and modem again.

  • My Computer Doesn't Detect My Camera

    My computer doesn't detect my camera! Can someone help? (If you haven't noticed, I created this account just to ask this question! Help is greatly appreciated!) 
    I recently had to do a system restore on my computer. After I restored, I tried to upload photos from my Powershot A4000 IS camera to my computer (I had done it before successfully) only to find that the Autoplay window didn't pop up (like it usually did) and the Hardware Fail sound played. I then tried to start my CameraWindow software manually, but it said my camera wasn't connected. I have several Usb ports on my computer, and I tried all of them. Nothing happened! I'm sure that I'm not missing any essential Canon software and my camera isn't damaged; I barely use it, and the Powershot A4000 support page claimed that I didn't need any extra drivers for my edition of Windows! Help! 
    P.S. My OS is Windows Vista SP2.

    Stupid_Computer,
    There are some additional questions I would like to ask that will help me determine what is wrong.
      1.  Have you tried connecting your camera to a different computer? 
      2.  Do other computers fail to recognize the camera?
      3.  Do you have any other devices connected to the computer, like a printer, scanner, webcam, external hard drive, etc?

  • Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager too

    Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager and in control panel too

    The phone is stuck in this mode because it needs to contact ATT's activation servers when you plug it into itunes. There is most likely a connection issue Firewall/Antivir software blocking certain connections/ports.
    Common AV/Firewall programs that cause this issue: Norton, Mcafee, Zone Alarm, and CA (computer associates).
    Unfortunately you cant fully "disable" these programs so its a matter of knowing how to configure them or remove them completely using their respective removal tools.
    Otherwise, bring the phone to an Apple Retail Store or ATT store to have them activate it for you.
    Hope that helps.

  • FaceTime can't detect a camera (Mac Pro)

    I have just taken delivery of a new Mac Pro. I am running OSX 10.9.1. On my old iMac, facetime happily used the on board iSight camera for video, but now when I try to use my Philips webcan via USB (plugged directly into the Mac Pro, not via a USB hub), Facetime cannot detect a camera. Curiously Yahoo Messenger and Skype can, any ideas. I use Macam software to drive the webcam.

  • HP Phoenix computer can't detect second monitor

    HI,
    I have used this for a while (18 months) on one monitor and wanted to extend the desktop to a second monitor - but the system fails to detect a second monitor when it is plugged in.
    It has an AMD Radeon 6850 with two DVi slots - both monitors work as I can swap them over.  But neither the auto detect (HP Catalyst) or the manual detectoption  show up a second monitor.
    I have updated the ADM driver, restarted etc etc........ not sure what else to try.  Any suggestions?
    thanks
    Mike

    Hi MikeJeffries,
    I'm sorry to hear about your problem in connecting a second monitor. Here is an article, (assuming you have Windows 8), that may be of help to you: Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8). Let me know if this helps at all. Best of luck to you.

  • Computer can't find iPhone / Stuck at iTunes Logo

    Hey guys. I just got my iPhone 4 that i ordered a while ago and i've run into a problem already.
    So as soon as i got the phone i started it and plugged in my SIM-card. It asked me to enter a PIN-number to unlock it, and i did. However, i don't think it unlocked because it was still stuck at the iTunes logo with the "Emergency Call only" slider. I thought well since the iTunes logo is there i'll connect it to iTunes. But no success. My computer/iTunes didn't even notice i plugged the phone in. I figured maybe it's something wrong with my computer or cord, so i tried 2 different cords in 2 different computers. Still no luck. Also tried a 3GS in the computer with the same cord and it worked.
    So after that i googled A LOT to try to find other people with the same problem. I could find some similar ones, and i tried some reboots and DFU-mode. Didn't work.
    Now i'm still stuck at the iTunes logo with the emergency call slider at the bottom on the screen, and everytime i restart the phone it asks me to activate my sim again. And despite the fact that i successfully do it each time it insists on asking me. My provider tells me the SIM is activated.
    Thankful for any help i can get. Is it hardware/software/me that's problem here?

    Edit: Wrong subforum i guess, sorry. Move it if you can/want!

  • Just updated to ios 5 and now my computer can not find iphone or ipad

    after I updated my iphone 4 and both of my ipad 2s to ios 5 and my computer no longer finds them. They used to show up as devices with removable storage, but now they dont show up anymore. does anyone have a fix for this? any help would be appreciated

    correction to my last remark....... resetting my iphone worked, now it show up as digital camera again.  However resetting the ipad 2s didnt do anything. I dont know if this is an ipad2 thing or not. My original ipad1 showed up on my pc (before i sat on it and broke it) but both of my ipad2s dont show up. am I screwed?
