IPhone no longer shows up as a hard disk for photo transfer

When I used to plug in my iPhone it would show up in the My Computer page as an external disk. If I clicked through the folders I could easily move pics from my phone to the computer. I had already shut off the auto open feature of the program select.
Not sure why my iPhone no longer shows up. It shows up fine with iTunes

Greetings,
The iPhone won't work as an external disk, never has, by default. It will show up in iTunes, it is supposed to there, but not on your desktop.
Are you thinking of an iPod Touch, maybe? Maybe you have a phone that was tampered with, maybe?
There are third party apps that might do what you are talking about.
Cheers,
M.

  • IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

    Hi there,
    For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
    Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)

    now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
    If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

  • Hi, never used support before - here goes! My Mac G4 MDD no longer shows the start up hard drive icon. The one with all my files on! It shows the other 3 hard drive icons and boots up OK. Has my start up hard drive failed? Can it be fixed? Thanks.

    Doesn't sound like any hard drive failure to me - more a Finder preference.
    Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop -> Hard disks
    The startup disk is sometimes treated differently from other disks (such as external and network disks) and I'm guessing this is a simple preference setting, although I might be wrong.

  • Original iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes 9.2 for Mac

    My iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. Do I need to upgrade or uninstall something?

    Same here. Brand new 3GS running 3.1.3. Activated with iTunes 9.1 on Mac, updated iTunes to 9.2, Software Update was unable to complete "Registering updated system components". iTunes 9.2 works properly, besides it doesn't show my iPhone.

  • XP no longer shows up as a startup disk

    After upgrading to leopard today, my XP partition no longer shows up as a startup disk.
    I had/have my windows partition on it's own drive that was NOT created with bootcamp. I pulled my osx disk from the my mac pro and installed windows on the disk i had in bay 2 using 100% of the disk (ntfs). after installing the bootcamp windows drivers, i reinserted the osx disk and all has been well for the last 4 months,... until the upgrade today that is.
    Now, when i go to the 'Startup Disk' preference Windows is no longer an option. the disk still shows up in Finder and I can navigate around the file system.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to show up again? I'd really rather not have to reinstall if i can avoid it.
    thx.

    I have exactly the same problem (well, maybe).
    I have installed MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. I don't know if this is of any relevance, because I don't know if it was working directly before I installed them.
    I have my OS X and NTFS volumes on the same physical disk. I also had to install Windows twice because I buggered it up the first time (formatted the partition as FAT32 and ran into a bunch of disk errors).
    I also notice that in WinClone I have 2 Untitled Volumes at /dev/disk0s3 and /dev/disk1s1. /dev/disk0s3 seems to be the legit Windows NTFS partition, but I have no idea what /dev/disk1s1 is about. I don't know if it's been there all along or not but perhaps it is confusing matters and stopping the legit Windows volume/installation from being detected...? Should that second volume exist at all? It doesn't exist according to the Disk util.
    edit: I used fdisk just to have a look at the two untitled partitions.

    I can hold the option key upon startup and manually enter Windows like that, but I'd prefer to be able to restart and boot Windows without having to hold a key.
    Apart from not seeing the Windows boot volume in the system prefs pane, Boot Camp (and the rest of Leopard) has been excellent. I am impressed at the level of apple hardware support for windows. It seems to be much better than most native PC hardware.
    I am dying for an answer. It's a fairly minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but **** it's frustrating.

    Downloaded a song from iTunes on my iPhone but only shows on my iPad.  Setup for same iCloud.

    If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to play tracks on the iPhone from iTunes, the music will be grayed out.
    You can play them in iTunes if you Manually Manage the music on your iPhone though.
    You could also Transfer the purchases from your iPhone to a computer.

  • Format a windows hard disk for mac

    Hi,
    I am trying to format an external windows hard disk for use with my new Mac.  I am using Disk Utility.  The disk was NTFS formatted, I erased it into HFS+ (mentioning that the operation was done in less than a minute).  I tried this many times but it still took the same time.  Does not formatting a disk take a long time? Or this is the way it is done in Lion.
    Thank you. (New to Mac)

    Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app (in Mac OS). Open the app.
    Select the disk (choose 'erase' if it its formatted already), and format as 'Mac OS extended (journaled). Click 'format' (or 'erase', depending on which option you are given).

  • Separate hard disk for the appliance?

    Hi!
    "Create a separate VMware hard disk for the appliance. This is the location where you will store your iPrint files.". Optional. Ok, I understand purpose for separate hard disk for Filr - user files etc., but what purpose does it serve here, with iPrint Appliance? Because, for backup is suggested to create a file and during new appliance install load it. Meaning, iPrint Appliance is probably ok to install in one? Probably is ok to keep all these files in ... general location? Or not? Didn't find anything of this optional disk in backup/restore, either.
    Probably I missed something.
    More thanks, Alar.

    Ah, I see. Well I've not tried attaching a second disk at all to the
    iPrint appliance so I'm not sure of the affects of adding one or
    attempting to detach the second disk. Before detaching, take a look at
    where it's mounted. I'm assuming it would still be mounted as
    /vastorage, and if so look to see what if anything is stored there. If
    it's truly empty then you could likely detach it as long as you also
    remove the associated line in /etc/fstab which mounts the second disk.
    If you see any files in that location, though, then you'd likely need
    to redeploy the appliance from scratch making sure to not attach a
    second disk during deployment.

  • I want my AVI files from Hard disk for FMLE

    Is it possible to get AVI files from my Hard disk for FMLE if yes How..?
    Thanks in advance

    Not sure what you mean but if you want to use FMLE to stream video from your harddrive I think you also need Camtwist or Wirecast for that. I use Camtwist and FMLE for that. If you for example stream to Justin.tv remember to mute the sound on your channel there or you get a strange loop. It´s kind of tricky to set up a good stereosound for broadcasting and I use two soundcards and a small cheap Behringer mixer for that.
    I think it´s possible to play them back from another computer too if the videocard on that computer have some sort of video out port you can hook up to your capture card on your broadcasting computer. You ´d need a capturecard that FMLE recognizes.
    You can also just burn a DVD and play it back from an ordinary external DVD player that you hook up to your capturecard. Even works with a VCR if you have one and can get the files over to tape. But as I said you need a good capturecard that FMLE recognizes.

  • Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

    What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

    For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
    are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
    next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
    is excellent. Check out:

  • Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

    Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

    At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
    Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
    Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

  • HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
    If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

    Thanks

    Hi
    Like Ivan said, there are no officials documents about a max size of a HDD.
    I assume that you can use a 40 GB HDD but Im not 100% sure if the bigger HDDs will work.
    Please check this link:
