IPhone 3GS not being recognized as a still camera in Windows

Hi, this is my first post ever!
My problem is that whenever I plug my iPhone 3GS in my PC (running Windows 8 Dev. preview) it isn't recognized as a still camera (or MTP device) so I'm not able to copy photos from the camera roll. The thing is it was working fine until yesterday. Note that iTunes syncing works perfectly. I've tried unistalling the drivers form the Device Manager, I've tried unistalling the USB controllers and then restarting etc. but nothing worked . I really need to fix this problem since I've got a lot of photos to transfer.

Connect it to another computer not running a Beta version of Windows, does it work correctly?
If so, the issue is with Windows.
If not, then you might actually have an issue with the device.

  • IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

    I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here.  I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
    I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.  I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
    I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
    Thanks!

  • Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

    Hi all,
    This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
    Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
    P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

  • TS1538 My iphone is not being recognized by iTunes.

    The computer is "seeing" the phone, but nothing is coming up in iTunes.  I have a 2nd iphone that is being recognized.  I have another computer, rebooted, reinstalled, and tried holding the home button as I plugged in the usb cable.  I went to do a restore and ever since the phone says to connect to itunes and then is not seen by itunes.  Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Follow up...took it to the Apple store and they were able to get it to connect to iTunes...go figure!

  • Iphone 4 not being recognized with the extension cable

    My Iphone 4 is not being recognized with the Apple extension cable in my new Nissan Juke so the phone has to be kept in the glovebox due to the very short cable Nissan provides. This is frustrating since the phone gets noticeably worse reception in the glovebox. Does anyone know of a fix for this so I can run a longer cable extension and run the phone out of the glovebox? Mabye a different extension cable or longer cable that works with Nissan's set up?

    I don't think it is the cable. I have tried plugging the cable into the USB cable that came with the phone and the extension cable works fine with it. I guess this really is just some screwy stuff with Nissan.

  • My iPhone is not being recognized under "My Computer"

    When I first got my iPhone, I had a Dell. So I synced my phone to that computer. I just got a new iMac, and have switched everything over. My iPod shows up under "My Computer," but my iPhone doesn't. And I first synced my iPod to the Dell. I've been able to sync my phone and my iPod in iTunes and transfer pictures from my phone to my computer with relative ease. I've restarted and reset my phone, but it still does not show up under "My Computer." Do I need to contact Apple Support or is there something else I can do? Or is this really not something to be concerned with?

    Hey I need some help please. I just downloaded iTunes 8 and signed up for MobileMe. After doing this I was trying to sync my iPhone in iTunes so I could get the MobileMe app on my phone. However, now my phone isn't being recognized in iTunes. I've tried all the suggestions on the support page except reinstalling iTunes because I'm concerned about losing my music files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

    The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
    I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
    I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
    All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
    So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
    Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
    I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
    Thanks for the help.
    I'll post my findings/results.

  • IPhone is not being recognized by iTunes

Can  anyone help me out?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Skyburper,
    Thank you for your report.
    Congratulations for all your initiative, all of those steps were pefect to solve this issue. Well you can try another one ( unstalled and installing itunes on windows 7 ). Also you can try to change the usbs ports on your computer and the usb cable too. In case it do not solve your issue try another computer maybe there is a software on you computer that do not work with apple software.
    Thank you.
    Have a wonderful day .

  • IPhone 3GS not being recognised by MacBook Pro

    hello.
    just a few days ago i was able to sync my iPhone 3GS via iTunes to my laptop using the supplied USB cable. Today when I tried, nothing, the iPhone doesn't do anything and iTunes doesn't launch. The only update I have put on my machine is the recent 10.5.8 Security update yesterday - not sure it is related?
    so in the process of elimination, I've tried the following.
    1. connected my 5.5G iPod using the same usb cable - ipod mounts fine and iTunes launches.
    2. connect my iPhone to the AC Adapter using the same usb cable - iPhone charges fine
    3. tried iPhone on all USB ports using same usb cable - nothing happens.
    so I'm happy the USB cable and ports are all functional and the iPhone connector is ok, as it does charge when connected to an AC power supply.
    normally when i connect my iPhone to the laptop, the phone screen turns on, iTunes launched and then it starts a backup and then sync. But this time, nothing happens at all. the iPhone remains in standby. I checked the USB ports in the Apple System Profiler but none of the USB ports are displayed as iPhone.
    I have power-cycled both the iphone and laptop but it makes no difference. Any other suggestions - do you think it is hardware or software related?
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi James,

  • HT4623 my iphone is not being recognized by itunes on my new macbook

    my iphone 5s was previously synced with my pc but i have purchased a new macbook and would like to know how to get it to sync with the itunes on this computer

    Hi Gyas,
    Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I understand that you were previously syncing your iPhone 5S with a Windows computer and now you would like to sync it with your new Macbook but the iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. Typically Installing software updated on your Mac resolves issues like this, but there is a great article with further troubleshooting steps to take if needed.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Cheers,
    -Joe
