IPhone 4S not seen by Win 7 PC

HI we have an iPhone 4s and we are trying to move the pictures to our PC running Win 7. All of our other iPod and IPod Touch devices come up fine and are seen by the PC as a portable device and also appear in iTunes. The iPhone 4S does not, it will charge but no USB storage connection and it does not appear in iTunes. I have looked in Device Manager and there are no references to any Apple Device under any item (USB controllers, Portable Devices etc). Apple Mobile Device Services are set to automatic, and are started. Everything looks like it should ecxept this iPhone is not seen as a USB device when connected. At a loss here and looking for suggestions. I have searched numerous forums but none work or even seem to go to the issue here which is that this iPhone does not connect via USB to a PC (I tried 2 different PCs with the same result) other than to charge. I have also changed the USB cables to no effect.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
PT

Hello
It sounds like you have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your end. Some of this you have done but checkout the articles below to see if there is anything you missed so you can get your pictures off your iPhone.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
    See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPhone 3G not displaying in Win 7

    After updating my iPhone 3G (Model MB702LL) to iOS 4.2.1 it no longer displays as a device in Windows 7 when connected to USB.  This is actually slightly different depending on if you are running Windows 7 32bit or 64bit. 
    Win 7 32 bit:  My desktop is running Windows 32bit and iPhone does show up as a portable device, BUT you can only navigate as far as:  Computer\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM.  This prevents you from seeing any files and being able to copy photos from your iPhone to your hard drive.  In essence, the device is listed, but no files are accesible.
    Win 7 64 bit:  On my laptop I am running Windows 7 64bit and iPhone is not listed at all.
    The main concern is that I can no longer access photos on my iPhone easily and copy them locally. 
    I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components as outlined in the following support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925) and it did not help.
    Is this a bug or known issue?  Is there anything I can do? 
    Thanks in advance!

  • IPhone is not seen by iTunes

    I have a brand new iPhone and it has only been recognized once by iTunes and that was after a complete uninstall re-install of iTunes and connecting and re-connecting multiple times.
    iTunes sees the device every time I put the iPhone in recovery mode but after the recovery is complete and the iPhone reboots it is no longer recognized again by iTunes.
    I have followed all the troubleshooting steps available on the Apple website with no luck. 

    Okay, here is what worked for me and still no full reason why from either my IT group at work or from tech support at Apple.
    1.  Connected to my work network.  (works)  Itunes launches in 30 seconds and recognizes the iPhone immediately.
    2.  Connected to my home network when logged in remotely to my work account via VPN.  (works) same as above.
    3.  Completely disconnected from home or work network.  Shut off all wired and wireless connections. (works) same as above.
    Connected on home network alone. (Does NOT work)  iTunes takes 3 to 4 minutes to launch and it NEVER sees the iPhone.  If I connect the iPhone as in #3 above, I can then launch the wireless network and it will stay connected.  Something is interfering when I use this last method, but no one is able to fully explain why.  The comment about disabling the anti-virus software gave me the idea, but we aren't allowed to disable the software on our work PC.
    The work arounds above are acceptable to me right now, but still no explanation.

  • IPhone photos not seen in iPhoto - iPhone and iPhoto out of sync

    Normally when I connect my iPhone 3Gs to my iMac, iPhoto '08 opens and my iPhone is recognized and all photos on the phone are shown in iPhoto, ready for import. However, my iPhone and iPhoto now seem out of sync. Without my iPhone connected, I opened iPhoto and it shows my iPhone in the device list; instead of showing photo thumbnails on my iPhone, iPhoto displays empty boxes where the photos would ordinarily be. When I connect the iPhone, iPhoto continues to show the empty boxes, rather than the photos on my phone. When I try to import one of the "invisible" photos, I get an iPhoto error message: "The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)" How can I correct this behavior so that I can import iPhone photos again?

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
    from HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.

  • Iphone is not work to win

    so my iphone is broken and i can not take info to computer because it say "pleas open lock in phone" but i did not have screen

    What upgrades are you talking about? If you already own an iPhone you clearly have enough money to afford one of the most expensive phones on the market - and you clearly have an internet connection, so there is no further cost involved to sync via WiFi or the internet connection you already have, using any of the free services to do just that.
    If you insist on syncing via Bluetooth you'll have to pay for an alternative phone anyway - which would cost you more than just using the features your existing iPhone already has.

  • Iphone 4 not seen in windows 8.1 file explorer

    IPhone 4 IOS 8.3  can not  transfer photos to Window 8.1

    This made me panic for a moment too, but the upgrade just made my phone forget my computer. When I unlocked my phone, it asked me whether or not I wanted to Trust the computer I was plugged into. After choosing Trust, then unplugging and plugging back in, it showed up again. Hopefully that's all that's happening for you too.

  • HT203612 edited photos from iphone are not seen in mac iPhoto

    When I transfer photos which I edited from my iphone to mac (yosemite), iPhoto (version 9.6) does not see edited photos, only originals. How can I transfer edited photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • Playlist on iPhone but not seen with iTunes

    I have a playlist on my iPhone named On-The-Go. When I connect to iTunes it not there. If I put songs in the playlist with the iPhone they disappear after syncing with iTunes. If I add a playlist On-The-Go in iTunes I get two playlist with the same name on the iPhone. Can someone tell me how to just have one On-The-Go playlist?
    Thanks
    W

    You probably should buy an Apple computer.
    When you make on On-The-Go playlist you can use it, add songs to it, clear it, etc. If you do a second On-The-Go playlist it will be On-The-Go1, then 2, etc. When you connect these to your computer they should transfer to iTunes. In iTunes you can add songs to them, delete them, edit them, change the name of them, sync them back to your iPhone with the new name, etc.

  • IPhone photos not seen by iPhoto

    I have photos in my iPhone that I can view, but they do not appear in iPhoto when the phone is connected. iPhoto sees the iPhone, but the photos don't load. When I try to import all in iPhoto, I get an "Unreadable Files" message. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Shouldn't I be able to import from the iPhone into iPhoto?
    Yes. You don't need to sync your iPhone with iTunes in order to do so and these are photos that were captured by the iPhone?
    Which ILife version and iPhoto version do you have?
    Have you tried using the Image Capture application which is located in your Applications folder? If this works to at least get these photos transferred from your iPhone to your Mac, then you should be able to import the photos into iPhoto which doesn't resolve the problem but you may need to do an iPhone Restore. Photos captured by the iPhone are now included with the iPhone's backup file that is created and updated by iTunes if needed just before the sync process but you don't want to depend on the iPhone's backup file for photos captured by the iPhone.

  • My iphone4 is not seen on itunes. When I plug the iphone the device does not recognize it but the pc recognizes it as a camera or something. What can I do?

    My Iphone is not seen on itunes when I plug it. I've tried everything that I found on the internet. but it still doesn't work, so I can't sync my iphone. What can I do? I have checked all the USB ports, I have desinstalled and installed again itunes, and I have run out of ideas.

    When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
    Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer?
