IPhone isn't recognised as a camera device, but DOES appear in iTunes

Evening, I have an issue with getting photos/videos off from my iPhone 4.
Everything syncs perfectly fine in iTunes, contacts, music, apps ect. "Kayo's iPhone" pops up and away it goes.
However, it not appearing in *My Computer as a camera device* for me to remove photos from. The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver (found in device manager) is installed correctly and working fine. I've been able to tether, no issues there.
But under 'Computer Management > Device Manager > Other Devices > iPhone' it displays the little yellow triangle warning icon thingy, to advise that drivers are not installed correctly or the device is not operating properly.
Have tried right click > 'update driver software' with no luck. In properties the device status error is:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
I have read a few other forums that say you need to remove all other foreign photos that my not be recognised by the laptop and may cause this issue. I have removed all emailed/mms'd/saved/wallpapers/screenshots/edited in Photoshop for iPhone app and ect. The only photos/vids remaining were taken with this handset. Rebooted laptop and iPhone, no changes... I even deleted old photos that had transfered over from the iPhone 3GS from when I upgraded about a month ago.
I have the latest iOS, I have the latest iTunes, I have the latest windows updates. Where am I going wrong? How do I get the silly thing to recognise as a camera???? Where do I find the drivers? Have searched but not found anything helpful. Am I stuck because I have Win7?? How do the iPhone drivers initially get installed to the computer?
Has anyone else had this issue? I've been able to use Dropbox to get a few photos off, but they can only be selected one at a time. Would much prefer to just drag and drop - especially some big videos that I can't email (and dropbox crashes when I try to sync them)
Have tried to 'Add new Device' - nothing shows up in the list.
Have also checked Autoplay for devices - nothing shows up in the list.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
Cheers, Kayo

I had the same problem and after 3 weeks of searching found a post that said you need Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN (KB968211)
The URL below has this. Once I had installed this I could see my iphone camera roll.

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

TS3253 Is my original iPad compatible with iHome DM12 wireless speaker. I am having trouble with pairing. The iPad sees the device but does not connect

Is my original iPad compatible with iHome iDM12 wireless speakers? I am having trouble pairing. iPad sees device but does not connect.

It should be it the iHome supports the bluetooth profiles that the iPod supports. See:
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Try resetting the iHome if it was previusly paired to another device.

Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

New Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

Hey Oprion,
Thanks for the question and congrats on your new iPhone 5c. The orientation of your iPhone will depend on the application you are using. For example, most of the built in applications only support the three main orientations (Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal), whereas the Voice Memo’s application will operate “upside down” for easier access to the microphone.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

TS1538 I'm trying to synch my Ipad/iphone on my Windows 8 Laptop. when plugged in it recognises them as storage devices but they don't appear as devices in itunes for me to synch with. Help

Hi. I'm trying to Sync both my IPhone and IPad having just updated Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. Although the laptop recognises both devices and both devices ask if I trust the laptop they don't then appear in ITunes as devices for me to Sync with. Help.

No, that doesn't work for me. And things seem to be inconsistent. Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open. When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok. When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet. Help!

IPhone isn't showing up in My Devices on "Find my iPhone" page

I recently lost my iPhone 4 at an airport (or on the plane). When I first got the phone, I installed the Find my Phone app connected through MobileMe, though I don't think it was installed at the time of losing it. Fast forward to now...
I've logged into Find my Phone (now hosted on icloud.com) and I can see my iPad listed under the "My Devices", but not my iPhone. The battery is now dead as I've called it, but shouldn't it still show up in the My Devices list on the Find my iPhone page?
I'm wondering, if my iPhone doesn't show up in My Devices on Find my iPhone, does that mean it has been wiped?

Thanks, Winston. I thought I'd done that, but as that sounds like a post-iOS5 update thing, I probably didn't. The funny thing is, I don't remember doing ANY of this for my iPad, yet, that device still shows up under My Devices on the Find page. Hmm...

IPhone isn't recognising Contacts when receiving phone calls!

Whenever someone tries to call me, even if they don't have a private number and are in my contacts, it is coming up as 'Unknown' caller. Please help!

So when they call it says "Unknown" and not the number?
That suggests to me that the phone number of the person calling you is not being sent across the network and therefore the iPhone isn't being told the number, and therefore it can't match the number. If it was just the fact that a number was coming up instead of a name then it would be the case that you didn't have the number set up correctly in your contacts (e.g. missing area code).
So, you say your brother's "phone is set to send caller id". Are you sure about this? Can he call another phone and make sure? If that works then is that other phone on the same network as your iPhone?
There isn't a setting to turn off numbers and display unknown instead (and I can't see a use for one) so if you can prove this works on another phone on the same network as you, but not the iPhone, then it suggests to me that the iPhone is faulty...

If you are receiving a messages that says the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created I'm afraid you won't be able to create a new account on your phone.
Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts. Once they have been created you cannot create a new one. You also can't delete one of the accounts to allow you to create a new one. All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

IPhone 4S has stopped showing up in iTunes devices, but does show in iPhoto?

Recently had permission issues with i7 27" Mac running newest mavericks (10.9.5). After fixing permissions my iPhone 4S no longer shows up in iTunes, but I still can see it as a device in my Apple iTunes acct. and it does show (and upload photos) to iPhoto. I'm stumped. Have reset Location and Network settings on phone, computer asks to Trust device and I press Trust, but it still does not show. Tried several USB cords, but they all work with iPhoto, but still no device in iTunes.
A little help would be appreciated!

Hello there, stanphoto.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great and practical steps for troubleshooting your iOS device not being recognized in iTunes for OS X:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
Restart your iOS device.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Try another USB cable.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
