IPhone detected as a"digital still camera" and will not show in itunes
Hi
My friend bought a 16gb iphone today and when he plugs it into his pc it comes up with auto play and a list of things you can do (obviously the wrong driver) it is not shown in itunes. So far we have re installed itunes, restarted the device, restarted the services but nothing seems to be working.
He has a windows vista laptop and 16gb iphone, latest itunes.
Any suggestions
magic_man,
The iPhone reports itself as two devices, a Digital camera, and an iPhone.
The digital camera will use the standard digital camera driver.
The iPhone will use the iPhone driver, and is then handled by the Apple Mobile Device Service that must be running for iTunes to see the iPhone. With 64-bit Vista if you don't install the 64-bit version of iTunes, it won't be running. There are other situations where it may have been stopped in services, or prevented from updating by security software on the computer.
The article linked in the thread has some suggestions for making sure the Apple Mobile Device service is running correctly.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

I am trying to get ios 4.3 software update for my iPad 1. Have downlosded Itunes and apple softwareupdates to my PC, but when I plug in my iPad the computer thinks it is a digital still camera. how do I get my PC to reconize that it is an iPad
Must point out that this is the first time I have ever tryed to update my iPad, other than when I got it started at the store where I abought it.
This is what is happening to me. the PC is on and I have3 the Itunes on the screen but as soon as I plug in my iPad my PC seems to think that it is a digital still camera and emediatly starts suting down as it seems to think the iPad(digital camera) is going to harm my PC. PC will not go anyfurther than a warning screen and I have to then shut it down unplug the iPad and start again. HELP please -
my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.
I have a similar problem. I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS. After completing the process the phone never restarted. The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon. I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone. The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads. iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does. I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery. This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help. A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged. She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on. I don't think it is a battery issue. The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone. Repairing it was out of the question. At this point the phone is completely useless. Thanks in advance for the help.

My computer sees my iPad as a camera and will not sync with iTunes.
My computer sees my iPad as a camera and I can't sync with iTunes.
If there are any photos in the Camera Roll you will get a prompt like you mentioned when connecting your iPad to your computer. It is indeed a good reminder to save those photos to your computer. But if you don't want to copy those photos to your computer then dismiss the window and start iTunes. Once iTunes is running you should e able to sync your iPad.

my ipod nano 5th generation stopped working not long ago
i was sitting down, just listening until a song in the middle of an album ended and none played afterwards
i went to look to see what had happened but nothing would display; it was just a black screen
i was confused so i started to hit the menu button to see if it had just went to sleep or something
i could hear the noises that the buttons make when you push them, but the screen stayed black
i went to see if it would charge (via dock/stereo charger), but nothing showed up
i then tried plugging it in (via cord) to the computer and still nothing; it would not even recognize my ipod in itunes
my itunes is completely up to date and worked with my ipod even just a few days ago, so that shouldn't be the problem
i've tried to reset, restore, and etc., but nothing seems to get it to turn on
it seems like i might not be able to fix it, but is there any way i can see my files (music) on the ipod so if i have to get a new one i remember what to put on it?
help, please ~Good Afternoon CPilkington1,

Not really a Mac user, but very surprised at the number of problem posts here...Welcome to the Forums!
Follow these instructions:

If that doesn't correct the problem, follow these instructions posted by ElementONE:

RE: +surprised at the number of problem posts here+
Don't be! Keep in mind that these forums are analogous to an emergency room - there's a much higher proportion of sick people...ummm, I mean computers/iPods...in here compared to the general population. The millions of users without problems simply don't post "it works great!".
Hope this helps... -

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet. -

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!
Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
-Happy New Year

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?
It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved. -
