IPhone 4 detected as camera on Win 7

Just a few days ago, my iPhone 4 stopped syncing onto my computer. I tried updating iTunes from version 9.x.x (can't remember) to version 10.0.
Apparently, it did not fix issue and to make it worse, my computer started detecting my iPhone as a USB camera. I tried uninstalling the Windows USB drivers for the "Apple iPhone Digital Camera" and plugging it in again, but my system just reinstalls the same drivers.
I already tried reinstalling iTunes, but I think I'm having the same issues as other people that can't sync their iPhones.
Can anyone please tell me other suggestions as to get my iPhone detected not as a camera?

Kamizerox, I have a similar problem to you as my iPhone suddenly stopped being recognised as a digital camera. I came across a blog which advised to uninstall the Apple Mobile Driver and I did and this solved the problem of the iPhone showing up in Explorer.
This however caused the phone not to be recognized by iTunes. I did all the problem trouble shooting from apple and came to the conclusion I had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (a bit of a headache !!). This has solved the iTunes problem but am back at square one with the phone not showing up in windows explorer, hence not being able to transfer and photo's taken on the phone.
This seems to be something that has been introduced by something Apple has updated recently....
APPLE, please help.. you keep introducing these bugs in each subsequent release. Please regression test your software before releasing !!.. please can someone advise on the fix for this....
Thanks

  • Iphone detected as camera in window 7

    hi,
    need help in my iphone 3g, i have installed the latest itunes and trying to make a backup it seem that my iphone is detected as camera and i can't seem to get the iphone detected in itunes. I am using window 7 home premium. I have try to use my friend laptop which have window xp install on it and it seem to be detected as iphone in itunes. Hope someone can help me.

    I am also having several issues with my 3G iPhone after updating to OS4. I have tried the double reboot, removed all the apps from the folders and shut down all open pages in safari. I am so disappointed in Apple, all this crap that I have to do reminds of trying to work in windows. I thought I was done with all the headaches when I switched to Mac's but I guess with success comes arrogance. welcome to Macrosoft! Or maybe I'm just holding it wrong. Never thought I would feel this way about Apple.

  • Avoid iPhone to be detected as camera

    Is there any way to avoid the iPhone being detected as a camera. Because whenever I connect it to my PC, Abode Lightroom starts up (which I want to do when I connect my actual camera).

    win XP should launch a options window when you plug the iPhone in. Just select iTunes as the default app. It should default to that action after that.

  • 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.

  • My windows 7 computer thinks my iPhone is a digital camera.

    My windows 7 computer recognises my iphone as a digital camera so we cant sync an iphone 4 to my computer and we cant set up an iphone 5 through itunes.
    Please help.

    An iOS device with one or more pictures in the camera roll appears as a camera to Windows Explorer. You can copy and paste the files to a new location, then return to the device to delete the originals once they have been safely copied from it. Don't connect more than one device at the same time. If iTunes still cannot detect the device try restarting both the device and the computer and check the cable works with another device (though I guess you've already done that).

    You'll have to put your iPhone in Recovery Mode.
    Recovery mode
    If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    This will erase the device and its passcode.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK. Then restore the device.
    If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.

  • Iphone 6 plus facetime camera not working after 8.1 upgrade

    iphone 6 plus facetime camera not working after ios 8.1 upgrade, also while making calls the voice on the other side sounds distant. Any pointers.

  • IPhone 6 Plus front camera not working or with lines and static?

    My iPhone 6 Plus front camera is having problems. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and the camera app freezes. Sometimes it works fine for a little while and sometimes it shows multi color static or lines.
    I've tried:
    Restoring from phone (without restoring backup)
    Restoring from iTunes (without restoring backup)
    Deleting ispw and re-downloading iOS 8.1.1 then restore
    The phone is less than 2 months old. I noticed it acting weird a week or so after I bought it but thought it was just software. At first it wouldn't work when using the camera app but worked fine using facetime. Now it acts up regardless.
    Any advice or opinions will be much appreciated.

    I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
    Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
    I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1.  I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
    Are you a developer?  IF so try asking in the developer forum.

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • My macbook pro no longer detects my camera.

    My macbook pro no longer detects my camera.
    After downloading thousands of photos, my mac no longer sees my camera.  Nothing has changed.  I have tried restarting the mac, using fresh batteries, different usb ports. When I try to download photos, iphoto opens up on it’s own, but my camera does not show up.  Neither does it show up in any finder window, or under disk utilities.

  • Do I need to assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera

    Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
    NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
    Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
    ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
    I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
    ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.
