Image Capture does does not recognize iPhone 3GS

Greetings,
Something is amiss with one of my profiles on my PowerMac G5 and the Image Capture.app no longer recognizes my iPhone 3GS when I plug it in. The phone is recognized in other profiles so it’s not a phone of computer problem. Without the device recognition I can’t easily move images to iPhoto or Lightroom.
Thanks,
Steve

I wish it was as simple as rebooting. I was on the phone with Apple Support for more than 3 hrs today and we were not able to resolve the problem (yet).
Approx 2 weeks ago iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture all stopped recognizing my iPhone. Oddly, iTunes has no problem recognizing the iPhone. Here are just a few of the things we tried but didn't get the apps to see the iPhone again:
- Removed and deleted all photos on camera roll using a windows machine
- Removed all other photos synced between my iMac and iPhone
- Made sure an image existed on the camera roll
- Recorded some video on iPhone and then tried to get iMovie to recognize device
- Restored (gulp) the device followed by a restore from back-up
- Restored again (double gulp) but this time to factory settings and kept the device as a "new iPhone"
- Logged on as different users
and on and on.
Also, after noting that my machine refused to send a systems report to my Sr Advisor at Apple, he suggests we re-install Lion (ack). But when we went to access the Recovery Partition we realized it wasn't there.
So now I wait for Lion to arrive on one of those nifty Apple thumb drives for me to try re-installing ;-(
The following screen grab show my iPhone in iTunes but not recognized by Image Capture. URGH!

ITunes will not recognize iPhone 3gs, but the phone charges. I've tried everything!

Hi
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I've tried a different USB port.
I've turned the phone off and on.
I've restarted the computer.
I've restarted the AMDS.
I have all the latest updates.
I'm using an iPhone 3GS on a Windows 7 laptop.
I have no other problems with the phone, and I did nothing to make it unrecognizable.
My computer recognizes it as a device, but iTunes doesn't.
iTunes does however recognize my iPod.
Please help me!!!

Does you have tried everything include verifying the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed, checking for 3rd party mobile phone software installed on your computer, and troubleshooting 3rd party security software?

ITunes 8.2 will not recognize iPhone 3GS on Windows XP Pro

Hi guys. I just got a new iPhone 3GS and I'm having problems getting it to sync up to my PC. I have an HP NC6400 PC notebook with Win XP Pro SP2. I installed the latest iTunes 8.2 and connected my iPhone, but nothing happens. The iPhone doesn't show up under devices and it doesn't ask to install drivers. I did several days of research on the net and tried a few different things. I booted up the iPhone in recovery mode, and it then asked to install a driver, but couldn't find any valid drivers. I found on a post somewhere that the iPhone uses a driver called USBAAPL.SYS under C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, but that file is nowhere to be found. I tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and even tried iTunes v8.1, but no luck. I even found a link to download the file and tried to install that driver for the device, but it didn't recognize it as a valid driver. I tried connecting my iPhone to a friend's computer (Dell desktop PC also with XP SP2) and it worked perfectly, but on my own PC, no luck. There's something wrong with my PC.
There's another symptom that I noticed and I'm not sure if it's directly related or not. When I load iTunes, I get this message:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I found a post referring to this on Apple's support site here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US
I followed those instructions, and it seems the error message went away. Still though, no iPhone!
Can anyone please help me? Are there more diagnostics I can run? Is there a way to REALLY be sure iTunes has been completely uninstalled? Is there a way to see if some other software may be interfering with the installation of the drivers? My iPhone works fine on other PCs, but not mine! Thanks for your help!
Eric

Hey guys. Ok it looks like I figured it out for myself.
I opened the iTunesSetup.exe file with WinRar, and it allowed me to extract the individual .msi files for the various iTunes components. This included AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour.msi, iTunes.msi, MobileMe.msi, and QuickTime.msi. I then ran each .msi individually and Removed each component. Once this was finished, I ran iTunesSetup.exe again and installed from scratch, and it worked! It looks like there was something wrong with an old installation and it never completely uninstalled. Now it's detecting my iPhone and working fine!

I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps... - did nothing
Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.
regards
Adrian

After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
Please help with this problem
Thanks
TOM

You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.

You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

TS1410 my itunes 9.2 (mac osx 10.4.11) does not recognize iphone 4s

my itunes 9.2 (mac osx 10.4.11) does not recognize iphone 4s

Since you're running iTunes 9.2, your Mac has a G4 or better CPU. You need to purchase and install Mac OS X 10.5(G4 or G5) or Mac OS X 10.6(Intel) from a DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are free for paid MobileMe members.

Does apple still sell iPhone 3GS?

Does apple still sell iPhone 3GS in Singapore?

No probably not now because the iPhone 3g is an old phone and since that model, both the iPhone 4 and 4s along with the iPhone 5 have come along, so you will probably only be able to buy either an iPhone 4 or 4s.
To be sure why not have a look yourself on the Apple store website for Singapore?

Check first if your iTunes is up-to-date. If it's updated, try using a different cable or try plugging it to a different USB port.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

Hi,
The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
Your choices are
1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.
DNG Converter 8.4

Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4. iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions. (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words. In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation. They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file. I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked. Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!
