IPhone 3G not show as Camera in windows explorer, but iTunes works?!

Every time I connect my iPhone, I get the New Found Hardware wizard which always fails to setup my device properly. The device does not show up in My Computer as a camera like it is supposed to. However, iTunes opens and syncs just fine with it. When I go to my windows hardware device manager it shows up "iPhone" but with the yellow exclamation point indicating a problem.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and updating my chipset drivers (Nvidia nforce2). I have also tried uninstalling the iPhone device from the Hardware Device Manager window, then plugging the phone back in.
Nothing seems to work.
Any Ideas?

When you have pictures stored on you iPhone you'll get this message upon plugging it in to your computer. Windows is trying to access it like it would any other digital camera. Just ignore it and use iTunes.

Hey ScottYork,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To Verify do you have Mass Storage mode enabled on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?
Tap Settings
Tap Storage and Access
Turn on USB Mass Storage
Also what version of Windows Media Player or iTunes are you using?
Thanks.

How to make preflight profile witch find out if exist in document spot color with name "CutContour", if not show allert, I try many combinations but nothing works

Thanks very much for your help, but I'm still overlooking something. I double checked to make sure that I did not have a hidden .txt file extention. I then decided to abandon the lock on preferences idea until I get it working. I converted my mozilla.cfg file back to plain text. I made sure I do not have an extra blank line at the end of each file. The syntax looks good, as far as I can tell. I'll copy and paste what I have so far. Did I have the file locations correct posted above? Also, if you feel i can delete some lines of text in my mozilla.cfg file I'll be happy to do so.

IPhone 3GS not recognized as camera on Windows XP

I connect my iPhone 3GS to my laptop to sync and it is not recognized as a digital camera and cannot download my photos to back up. Rebuilt my laptop in the mean time and it recognized the camera on the phone, but when downloading the photos, it crashes half way through. Any ideas?

DC not showing under "Network" in Windows Explorer of member server

Hello Community
    After spending an endless amount of time trying to create SharePoint Server farm
and seeing an error message stating that I could not connect to the master, I found
that that was not the problem at all.
    The farm has Windows 2008R2 Server dc (Server1) and Windows 2008 Server member server
(Server2).
    If I go into Windows Explorer and click "Network" on the Windows 2008R2 Server
dc (Server1) the Windows 2008 Server member server (Server2) is visible.
    But if I go to the Windows 2008 Server member server (Server2) and click "Network"
I do not see the Windows 2008R2 Server dc (Server1) it is not visible.
    I figured that since Server2 showed under "Network" I would be able to map a network
drive to Server2. But when I tried to map the network drive I got the following error
message:
    "\\Server2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
     resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
     permissions."
    However, after a waiting a looong time I was able to do the opposite by
mapping a network drive from Server2 from Server1.
    But that doesn't solve the problem because Server1 still doesn't show under
"Network" on Server2 which is what is needed. It only mapped to the C:\ drive on Server2,
which is what the server farm needs.
    I am admin on both servers.
    The firewall is off.
    Both servers are obviously in the same domain.
    How can I get Server1 to appear under "Network" on Server2?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hi,
Based on my experience, if your computer is connected to a network, you can see all of the computers and devices that are currently part of the network in the Network
folder.
Please make sure the DC and server2 are in the same network and network discovery setting is set to open on both of the computers.
In addition, did you have other member servers on the same network? If yes, can you see them list in the network folder on server2?
I also recommend you to ping the DC on server2 to make sure the connectivity between them.
Best regards,
Susie

Cannot see files in Windows Explorer, but iTunes still plays 'em

hi all,
I have all my music files on an external hard drive. Up until this morning, I could browse the files on the external drive using Windows Explorer. Now the iTunes Music folder appears empty when I click on it, and even says 0kbs when I right-click Properties.
But ... iTunes still plays the files fine, and when I right-click Get Info in iTunes, it gives me the correct file path to my external hard drive. When I right-click Show Song in Windows Explorer, it shows me the correct file, yet when I click back up on the root iTunes Music folder, it still shows up empty!
Any clues? This is most frustrating, as I just got a new laptop and am trying to get my iTunes library back on there.
thanks

Sorry for the double post.
But i should also add that when i go to Edit Preferences and go to iPod and change anything i want to change. Once the ipod is disconnected, it doesnt save and it all goes back to the normal settings.
Thanks again.

IPhone cannot be recognized as Camera in Windows Explorer

I have Vista 64 SP2 and installed the latest iTune 8.2.1.6. iPhone can be recognized in iTune with no problem. However, since I would like to load the photos from iPhone to my computer, I found out that there is no "Digital Camera" device in the explorer as expected.
I tried to reinstalled iTune and it doesn't work. In the Device Manager, the iPhone is recognized under Universal Serial Bus controllers named "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". I checked other places like under Portable Devices but it's not there.
Then I noticed that the only way for my PC to recognize iPhone as camera and hence I can view and download the photos is after I uninstall "Apple Mobile Device Support". Then the iPhone will be shown up under Portable Devices in Device Manager as "Apple iPhone" However, iTune will stop recognize the iPhone.
So, does anyone experience the same problem? This is basically either (1) iTune recognize iPhone or (2) Windows recognize iPhone, but not both at the same time. Please suggest any potential cause for this issue as I am running out of any idea...

To be more precies, after i uninstall Apple Mobile Device Service, I will get the following error when I plug in my iPhone: "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". Of course I tried that and it fixed the iTunes issue, but then now the PC not recognized the iPhone as a camera...

Windows 7 does not show my Ipad2 in my computer but Itunes does

I have tried 2 diff. Ipad 2's as well as an Iphone 4 and windows 7 does not see them. any suggestions ?

ITunes has nothing to do with the windows operating system so sync wont work because the photo's are on the pad not the computer. I will call apple support. I think it has something to do with the apple drivers for windows that changed in the latest upgrade

On this iPhone is not showing up when I am connected to iTunes with my iPhone 4s

I am trying to remove and add stuff to my iPhone 4s and there is no on this iPhone button to push to do this. How do I get it to work?

I finally found a workaround for this.
This assumes you are on Windows.
Hit <Control>-S to make the sidebar appear. You should see your iphone under "DEVICES", and, under the iphone, there will be a "Music" label that you can click.

Just updated iPhone 5 to ios7. Now when I plug in, iTunes does not download photos, and iPhone is not showing as a hard drive on my computer. Windows used to have a pop up to download photos, which is no longer there. iTunes is updated and iCloud isoff

I also recently installed Norton 360, but that was eliminated via Norton Help. They remoted in, removed Norton 360 and problem persisted - iPhone did not show on the "Computer" window, and no pop-up to download photos even with no antivirus installed. Norton help advised to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, which seemed a bit excessive. Any other fixes I can try before an uninstall and reinstall?

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

My iPhone is not showing up in iTunes, or Windows Explorer.

I have looked around searching and tried to uninstall everything that had anything to do with Apple and iTunes. Nothing worked. I also have gone into the computer managment and stopping and starting the apple managment and iPod service. Still, nothing worked. My iPhone will not show up in iTunes, nor Windows Explorer, when I plug it in I can hear the sound that when a device gets plugged into the computer.

It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.

HT1386 I am trying to sync my iphone with my laptop using itunes. Items that I enter on my laptop (Windows Outlook) show up on my iphone. But items that I enter on iphone do not show up in Outlook. How do I fix this?

I purchased an iphone 4 in July 2012. I set it up to synch with Windows Outlook on my 2009 HP laptop computer (Windows 7). This seemed to work fine.
A few weeks ago, I was notified that my itunes or iphone software needed updating. With my iphone plugged into my computer, I performed the update. When it was over, I had an error message on my iphone indicating that it needed to be reset. I did this and there was no information on my iphone. I then synched with the laptop and everything appeared to be restored.
HOWEVER, now when I synch, items that I enter on my laptop show up on my iphone BUT items that I enter on my iphone do NOT show up on my laptop. How do I fix this?

All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.
