PC thinks my iPhone 3GS is a Digital Camera, not visible in Itunes
Hope someone can help
I bought the 3GS iPhone 32gb today and went to register on my PC and when connected to the uSB ports it was detected as a camera and only gives me the option of Photo Shop etc
It is also visible in 'My Computer' as a camera
I tried various USB ports as I believed only half where USB 2.0 the same happened after each restart, so I bought a new PCI USB 2.0 card and tried it through that with the same issue.
The Iphone works normally on another PC but obviously I want it to sync to my PC and Music
Latest version of Itunes installed
Restarted comp several times
Closed various security software on my PC temporarily
Any help much appreciated

This is normal; it IS a digital camera, and this is how you get photos off it.

Open Task Manager (CTRLSHIFTESC), click on the Processes tab and the Image Name column to sort on name. Then look for AppleMobileDeviceService.exe (AMDS). If it is present then your problem is most likely a USB driver problem; try updating the USB drivers. If it is NOT present go to Control Panels, Administrative Tasks and launch Services. Find the entry for AMDS, right click on it and choose Start.

My iPhone 5 just stopped working now not visible with iTunes
I have had the iPhone 5 for a few weeks, tonight I was recieving a call, as I went to answer it the slide bar locked half way accross and the phone locked up. It then turned its self off and now won't start up again, I have connected it to my iMac to see if iTunes can resotre it but iTunes doesnt even recogonise anything is plugged in.
Whats my best steps from here?
Things to try...
Or is it back to the store when they open tomorrow?Same thing just happened to me, through no instigation. Ive had my iphone 5 for a couple of weeks, working ok, came to reactivate it from sleep and got no response at all, tried plugging it in and still nothing. Found this thread and the trick worked, I'm grateful to find the post but the occurrence is disconcerting, has anyone had any recurrent problems with this? I bought my phone abroad and am going back to UK soon where I'm worried the warranty won't cover it. Considering going back to the store in case I have further troubles with this handset.

Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How do I change this so itunes can see it?
Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How can I change the device in windows, so that i can re-register it as an ipod and itunes can connect with it.?
It is normal for the iPod to be seen as a camera since that is how one gets photo off the iPod. You can turn it off by:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Disabling digital camera notification in Windows XP
To get iTunes to see you iPod see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you previoulys installed camera or scanner software that may be causing the problem. -
Irecently upgraded my Iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.0 using Itunes. Now its showing me message that the phone cannot be activated. What can i do ? The phone was Jail Br
iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.

since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help
That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it. If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier. -
my iphone 3gs with version 4.0 not works for apple TV what should i do?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You should update your iPhone software. -
I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?
Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this, or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious. -
hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -

How do you turn off the passcode feature from iphone 3GS?? I do not want to get prompted every time I turn on my phone.
Settings > General > Passcode Lock
You're going to really regret this if you ever lose your iPhone. -
I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?
I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup. -

Do you have modified software installed on your device?
If not, try to set it up as new device, explained here, without using the latest backup afterwards, in case it is containing corrupt data.

If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced, there might be a hardware problem.
