My iphone 4s no longer appears in my computer to download photos after I updated.

Hi smokeeater033,
If your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes for Windows I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • IPhone 3G no longer appears in My Computer...can't get to my pictures!

    I've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem. No one seems to be sure what to do. I've poured over the Apple Forums, Microsoft Fix It, etc. No good. Hopefully someone else has figured this out and can help me.
    My iPhone 3G no longer appears in the My Computer area. When I connect, my photos are no longer downloaded to my Windows Live Photo Gallery. Everything is fine from the iTunes side...it syncs, music is fine, apps are fine. It charges just fine.
    But I can't get the computer to recognize the camera side of things. In my Device Manager, there is an exclamation mark next to the iPhone under Portable Devices. I've tried uninstalling that and reconnecting.
    I've tried working with the Apple Mobile Device Driver under Services, making sure it was started, restarted and set to automatic.
    I found a guy here on the Apple forums who wrote:
    1. Copy 4ea12.msi from C:\windows\installer\ to the desktop.
    2. Right click on 4ea12.msi and select uninstall.
    This will uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Follow the instructions and close out.
    3. Right click on 4ea12.msi on your desktop and select install.
    This will reinstall Apple Mobile Device support.
    Well, 4ea12.msi isn't even on my computer. I don't know what that means, but it's nowhere. I looked.
    So, if anyone has a fresh approach that could help me, I'd be eternally grateful.
    Peace

    im having the exact opposite problem....my 3g is recognized inmy computer as a camera..but isnt recognized in itunes?
    i have no pics downloaded from emails (as i researched this before)
    the other night had same problem, had to restore phone, and re-install itunes..then no problem...but tonite trying to add new music and same thing again.
    disabled iphone under imaging devices, and its only listed under usb controllers...computer recognizes it every time
    there has to be a better way than restoring/reinstalling everytime?..has to be some little catch?
    HELP!
    FYI, i phone not being used as phone, being used as ipod, and only using wifi..has no sim installed.

  • After loading music on my iphone it no longer appears in my phone after using itunes match.

    Meaning, I loaded music to listen to offline. Later in the evening I used itunes match so that I could acees my library from my phone while on a friend's wi-fi. When I switched back to listen offline, all of my songs were gone. Not only that, but they were replaced by songs that keep appearing in my playlists even after I delete them.
    Can I get a little help? I love itunes match, but hate this part of it.
    cheers

    I had this problem.  I held down the power switch to power down completely.  Takes a few seconds.  Then use the power switch to turn on.  Might take a couple goes.

    My iPhone 4 no longer appears in iTunes. But it does charge. Tried most tips please help someone!

    Hi there,
    No I didn't. Someone suggested in another thread that my iPod was registering as a disk instead of a device, so if I removed my iPod as a disk on Disk Utility then it would reload etc. and show up in iTunes. Which it didn't, and instead just cleared all my music (16,000 songs).
    So frustrating.
    Hope if you have the same problem you are able to find a better solution!

  • Iphone 5 no longer connects to my PC after last update OS8.1

    Firstly I am not a "tech" expert and really do not understand the whole lingo etc - in fact I find it VERY overwhelming whenever I have an issue that needs to be solved with all the massive volume of technical jargon thrown around and end up being totally lost and frustrated - so if there is anyone who can help that will be just wonderful.
    I have an I-phone 5 and a Toshiba PC which runs Windows 7 - easy so far.
    I use my phone for a small business (otherwise I wouldn't have one at all) and when I go to do quotes I take photos and then downloaded them to my PC for future reference (I have ALWAYS been able to do this by simply plugging my phone into a free USB port (always use the same one for all devices) and away we go all works great.
    HOWEVER, since the last 2 updates my Iphone will no longer connect to my PC.  After the first one was botched (the one that was recalled quickly) and OS8.1 (which I know have) - whenever I do this exact same procedure my Iphone does no longer appear.
    How do I make it work again - the simple, easy, straightforward way that it used to (I guess that since the Apple thing has now been "improved" and made "better and easier" for me it will be impossible to do?

    Hello there philp_69,
    If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.

  • IPad no longer recognized by any computer after 4.2.1 update

    Hi,
    my iPad is no longer recognized by any computer after the 4.2.1 update. It does not show up in iTunes and this even in recovery mode. When connected to charger it does not show that it would charge (but it does). The iPad is still usable except in the iPod app is says "cancelling sync" and does not show any music.
    I already reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service, used different computers with different OS version, but it does not show up, not even in the system profiler (USB tab).
    Any idea what I should do? I mean it is quite unlikely that there is a hardware issue as the problems appeared right after the 4.2.1 update (from 4.2).
    Thanks in advance

    Yes I know, I already reset like 100 times. Turned off-on...
    I guess a recovery could solve the problem, but how do it if the iPad does not even appear in iTunes. I guess it is somewhat stuck in "cancelling sync" and therefore will not accept an USB connection (the USB port behaves like it is deactivated).

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.

  • My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Can't open numbers on my iPhone 5S and iPad mini (1st Gen.) after updating to the new version 2.0.1. Please help!

    Can't open numbers on my iPhone 5S and iPad mini (1st Gen.) after updating to the new version 2.0.1. Please help!

    Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

  • My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    Hello Kerrigaj,
    After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
    No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
    Goodluck - hope it works for you.
