Iphone icon dose not appear in ' My Computer' , but appears in Itunes.

Could someone help me out.
I am using the Windows XP platform.
I have an Iphone 8GB (1st Gen), initially the 'Iphone' icon would appear in 'My Computer', but recently it has stopped appearing! I have tried changing USB slots, reinstalled the driver, but it still dosent work.
Itunes has no problems detecting the Iphone. The problem now lies with the 'My Computer.

Reason I ask if you have pictures in your camera roll is because if you don't then there is nothing to transfer thus no reason for the iPhone to report out to Windows that it is a camera. Thus won't show up under My Computer as a camera/scanner and won't pop up the options of what to do.

  • IPhone not recognised in My Computer, but is in itunes

    About a week ago my iPhone just stopped being recognised in My Computer. Before this it was fine, it would recognise and I could move ohotos from my phone to an external hardrive. All of a sudden its not showing up there though?
    It is recognised in iTunes and charges when attached. It even has the 'beep' sound it usually does when it is recognised.
    I have tried a different cable, different usb port, enablibng and reabling the driver as per Apple site.
    I have the latest updates on iTunes and my iPhone 4.
    I tried it on an old computer I have and it is recognised there and I can transfer photos on that for now until I can get this issue sorted.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
    Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

  • My iPhone 4 is not recognized by Windows 7 but syncs with iTunes.

    Driver fails to load. Device manager considers my iPhone a MTP USB. 
    I have deleted and re-installed iTunes with no resolution.
    I have read several strings regarding Autoplay. Nothing seems to work. 

    See this tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. If you didn't use all of these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes you should do it this way. Note that the installation requires Administrator privileges to remove and install.
    Also, if you are using a USB hub for the iPhone connection, try a USB port directly on the computer.

  • IPod not detected in "My Computer" but fine in iTunes

    Well for Christmas my dad got me a new 4GB iPod Nano 3rd Gen. I am very pleased with it except for the fact that when I enable disk use on my iPod I don't see it in "My Computer" (where like I can access my hard drive, you know). I have restarted both my iPod and my computer but to no avail. Please help me with this.

  • Iphone icon does not appear on desktop

    iphone icon does not appear on desktop when plugged into my mac, so I can't select it to manage music via the sync method.

    Lyssa - Thank you for your response. I thought that might be the case, but although there is a symbol in the upper right corner that reads "iPhone"  the list of music is my entire iTunes list. I would like to update my music on the phone but can't seem to "see" what is currently there when plugged into my iMac. It all used to be so much easier and user friendly.

    My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

  • Why is my itunes trying to update my iphone and its not connected to the computer?

    This would be more for the technical side of the house, but why would the system try to update my iPhone and its not connected to the computer? is there a bug in the system?

    Update or sync?
    As of iOS 5 updates and sync can be done wirelessly, over Wi-Fi.

  • "printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
    Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
    Ports to open:
    UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
    TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
    Programs to allow:
    hpiscnapp.exe
    hpoews01.exe
    hpofxm08.exe
    hposfx08.exe
    hposid01.exe
    hpqkygrp.exe
    hpqste08.exe
    hpqtra08.exe
    hpznui01.exe
    hpzwiz01.exe
    SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
    Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
    If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

  • My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information?

    My iPhone 4S is not recognised by my computer when I try to sync. I am looking to upgrade, is it just easier to purchase a new one, then manually transfer data and information? I don't want to try syncing and backing up data to just lose it all. As the new one I plan to get is a newer model, I'm thinking it is just better to do it manually, but then I have the issue of syncing the new one to start.

    Hello Smeebo,
    Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like your iPhone is not recognzied in iTunes when you connect it to back it up, or update the device. I would try the troubleshooting in either of these 2 articles depending on what operating system you have:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    or:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
