HT201302 My PC (windows xp) does not recognize the iPhone as a digital camera. What do I do?

The iPhone 3G does not show up in My Computer, but syncs OK with iTunes, no problem.  I need to back up my photos on the iPhone!! Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

When I connect my iPhone to a PC running Windows XP just to charge it, the scanner and camera wizard launches automatically prompting me what to do about importing the photos in the Camera Roll. I don't recall having to add my iPhone as a camera first. The scanner and camera wizard detected my iPhone as a camera automatically which it should do without having to do anything extra first - as long as there are photos in the Camera Roll.

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • My laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device. I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how

    Hi everyone,
    my laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device anymore.
    I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how.
    The iPhone does charge when I plus it in the USB hub but it does not ask me to import the photos anymore
    and it also doesn't show it as a device when I click on the "computer" button where an SD card or an Usb stick would normally be displayed..
    I don't know what to do

    Thank you, randers4! I now plugged it directly into the ports of my laptop and it's still not recognized.
    Does the app Photosync work for more than a thousand photos or will this take me forever?
    Thanks a lot

    Hey Stan1958,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

    My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my Windows 7 laptop.  iTunes on this PC recognizes it okay, but Windows 7 does not see it as a camera.  On my old WinXP machine, it is recognized with no problem.

    Did you check the camera notification?
    Maybe you'll need to enable it again and reverse the process described in this article:

  • Windows 10 does not recognize the Monitor as PnP

    Windows 10 has my FT220 HQL touch monitor listed as "generic" and limits the resolution.  Windows 7 recognized the monitor and offred the highest resolution the monitor supports.  The resolution in Windows 10 is very poor and it limits the resolution.  I went through the initial start up procedure as described in the Quick Guide, but it did not help.  The auto Adjust does not improve it either.   I do not see win 10 drivers on the web site.  Is this the problem?  Why doesn't win 10 recognize the monitor?  How do I correct?

    I downloaded the win 8 drivers from the Acer site, but they would not load.  I had a chat with an Acer support person which was useless.  I just revered to windows 7 (easy option in 10), and full function is restored.  I'll check the Acer site from time to time and wait for a win 10 driver.  My Windows 10 upgrade button is still showing, and a copy is reserved.  Thanks for the response.

  • My Windows computer does not recognize my iPhone.

    Hello. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop (Windows Vista) the iPhone does not appear in "My Computer." It does sync with iTunes. I searched around and apparently the fix is to delete and reinstall iTunes. Will I lose all of my music when I delete iTunes? What about videos, popcasts, etc?
    Thanks.

    First try the troubleshooting steps here:

    Uninstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose any music.

  • ITunes does not recognize the iPhone and hang often

    Hello,
    I am an owner of an iPhone 3GS and am very happy with this device.
    However, I still had some problems with the synchronization, since iTunes very often depended on when you connect iPhone and the device was detected only after several cold starts.
    Today I found a very simple solution that does not appear to help on your support pages.
    I changed the USB setting in the BIOS and the problem appears not to since then.
    I have at changed at
    Advanced --->>> USB Configuration --->>> Legacy USB Support
    Legacy USB Support Enabled was --->>> Enabled
    Now, Legacy USB Support is --->>> Auto
    I think it would be helpful for your support and their clients, where such a reference would be included on the help pages.
    Sorry my english isnt good
    Best regards from sunshinig Germany

    Hallo,
    ich bin seit kurzem Besitzer eines iPhones 3GS und bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Gerät.
    Jedoch hatte ich bis heute einige Probleme mit der Synchronisation, da iTunes sehr oft beim Verbinden vom iPhone hing und das Gerät nur nach einigen Kaltstarts erkannt wurde.
    Heute habe ich eine sehr simple Lösung gefunden, die nicht in der Hilfe auf Ihren Supportseiten aufgeführt wird.
    Ich habe im BIOS die USB-Einstellung geändert und das Problem taucht seitdem nicht mehr auf.
    Geändert habe ich bei
    Advanced --->>> USB Configuration --->>> Legacy USB Support
    Legacy USB Support war --->>> Enabled
    Nun ist Legacy USB Support --->>> Auto
    Ich denke, daß es für Ihren Support und ihre Kunden hilfreich wäre, wenn dieser Hinweis auf den Hilfeseiten mit eingebunden würde.

  • Must have OS 10.6.5 to be compatible to the iphone 5 but the computer does not recognize the device

    I downloaded OS X 10.6.5 in order to sync my new iphone 5 to my mac.  After doing so the computer does not recognize the iphone.  I switched the backup from iCloud to sync to the computer when plugged in but nothing happens.

    If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:
