My computer only recognizes the my iPhone 4 as a camera. The Apple USB Driver isn't listed either. Help

The Apple USB Driver isn't listed either. I checked if an update would help, it didn't. It has been like this since yesterday.

Thanks! It actually worked . I had uninstalled iTunes but not the drivers, and it didn't work but perfect! Now I can actuallty do stuff.

  • TS1538 windows xp not recognizing iphone - apple usb driver not in list

    I have followed all the troubleshooting steps in TS1538.  I have uninstalled everything associated with apple and reinstalled the latest version of itunes at least 10 times.  I have tried and tried and tried to figure out how to get the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver to show up in the device manager list with no luck.  Everything else appears to be as it should according to all the troubleshooting steps with the exception that the USB driver will not show up in the list.  I've tried taking a screenshot and getting the computer to recognize it as a camera without luck.  I've tried using a different apple iphone, and ipad and an ipod with no luck.  I've taken my phone and cable to another computer and it works perfectly.  There is something preventing itunes from installing the usb driver on my computer.  This is my work computer that I need to sync with to keep my contacts and appointments synced.  Please help!!!  I have disabled everything I can including software, antivirus and all peripherals without any luck.  I am running winXP service pack 3 and itunes v. 10.7.0.21.
    This has worked great for the last 2 years and then stopped working about 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to fix it off and on since then.  Any and all help is appreciated.  It started when I was trying to get my sons locked iphone 3G to sync with my computer and it wouldn't show up.  That was the last thing to sync with this computer and nothing has worked since.  I am confident that I've eliminated all the variables that I could. 
    Thank you for you time and effort.

    Maybe a Microsoft Update broke the driver? Or an update to your security software? Have you rebooted your computer? Have you tried disabling your antivirus and firewall? Have you tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

    How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.
    I am on Comcast (Xfinity) Highspeed Cable wireless modem/router
    Thanks in advance!

    You can make your network the preferred network.

  • Computer only recognizes nano when hold switch is on

    My computer only recognizes my nano when the hold switch is on. With it on I can connect, sync, and eject, but as soon as I turn the hold switch off the ipod goes off and I cannot turn it back on unless I switch the hold back on and connect. I have tried all 5 R's and have tried connecting on another computer. Someone please help.

    Is your iTunes software up-to-date? Version 7.0.2.16 is the most current. Also, is your iPod firmware up-to-date? I believe version 1.1.1 is the most current. If they are not current, connect your ipod to the computer again and try to update first the iTunes version and then the iPod. This may help.
    Also, you mentioned you have tried plugging the iPod into other computers...are you getting the same results? If the above doesn't help any and you have gone through all of the 5 R's it's possible you have a faulty unit and may want to exchange (if you are still within the return period for where ever you purchased your player. This varies but I believe it ranges from 14 days to 30 days. Check your receipt) or return it under warranty.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!

They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • I lost my iphone in the water I bought a new one 4S now I have 2 back ups in Icloud, the one for the new Iphne and the old Iphone where I have the most info I need. How I can download my old backup?

    I lost my iphone in the water I bought a new one 4S now I have 2 back ups in Icloud, the one for the new Iphne and the old Iphone where I have the most info I need. How I can download my old backup?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone.

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

  • TS1538 What do I do after step 6 in "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed"?

    i'm very confused about step 5, "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" > "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed", what do I do after step 6? I looked for and found the entry that recognizes the device as a camera, "Apple iPhone, now what? I'm trying to resolve an issue. After an iTunes upgrade in July 2012, I have not been able to get my iTunes to recognize any of my devices. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all the steps. Now I'm on this one and I don't know what to do after this step 6. I looked and found the entry.... now what??? I am out of room on my phone because everything I buy on iTunes on the computer mysteriously appears on my iPhone 4, and everything I buy on my iPhone mysteriously uploads onto my iTunes the next time I open it. My phone will charge when connected to the computer, and Windows recognizes it and asks how I want to open pictures, etc. But in iTunes it will not show up under Devices. This is getting beyond ridiculous and I have to get some of this music off of my phone!

    Found a possible solution for me.
    While the phone was plugged into my computer and iTunes is CLOSED.
    1. I went to Services in Windows.
    2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".
    3. Then I right-clicked again and selected "Start".
    4. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked my iPhone with the yellow alert icon and selected "Uninstall".  You will get a warning about uninstalling the device.  Click OK.
    5.  At the top of Device Manager I clicked the Action menu and selected "Scan for Hardware Changes".
    This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.

    Ernest

    Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
    The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server
