Recognized in iTunes, but not as a camera in "My Computer"

I have a PC, running Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) SP1.
When I plug in my iPhone 3GS, it shows up in iTunes just fine. But I want to copy some pictures to my computer. It used to show up as a drive (with subfolders and files) but not anymore. What do I need to do?

Reinstall Apple Mobile Device USB Driver:
1. Attach your iPhone
2. Open Device Manager: Right click on My Computer and select Properties from the drop down menu. This will open System Properties. System Properties opens on the General tab so you will need to click on the Hardware tab.
3. Remove iPhone USB Driver called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. We want to remove this driver by expanding the list of USB drivers which can be done by clicking the + next to Universal Serial Bus controllers. Now right click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and select Uninstall from the drop down menu. Click the OK button on the pop up confirmation window.
Confirm Device Removal: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
4. Reinstall iPhone Driver:Once the driver has been removed you should unplug the iPhone from the USB cable. To reinstall the iPhone USB driver plug it back into the USB cable and the reinstalling of the driver will start automatically. Once you see the pop up message confirming that your new device is ready to use everything should be working properly again.
5. Verify iPhone Camera Detected: Open My Computer now to verify that the iPhone is displayed and you can click on it as you previously were able to do.
Another way you can verify the driver is reinstalled properly is to open Device Manager and expand Imaging Devices. You should now see “Apple iPhone” displayed.

My Ipod touch is recognized by itunes, but not by my computer!

My hard drive recently crashed, and I had to get a new one. I lost all my songs, so I am trying to transfer them to my new harddrive, but windows only recoginzes my ipod touch as a camera, so I can't get to my songs. Help?

There is no disk mode like it used to be with the older ipod models. If you bought your music in iTunes, make sure autosync is disabled, connect to your computer and right click on your ipod in the device list in iTunes.
Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all media and apps bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
Also back up manually, to be able to restore your ipod after the first sync, which will erase your device due to the new iTunes library created on your HD.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, to get the merge prompt while syncing contacts and calendars.
More about backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
There is 3rd party software out there to copy media you did not buy in iTunes, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

IPod Touch recognized by iTunes, but not Vista

I've recently re-installed vista and now I have a recognition issue. When connecting the ipod for the first time since the re-install it does the usual "new hardware found" and tells me that the ipod is ready for use only it won't show in My Computer, or in the list of devices I can safely remove. iTunes recognizes it, and so does Device Manager, which is odd. Whenever I connect the iPod windows makes the usual device connected sound, but it never shows in My Computer which means that other media programs I might want to use to transfer music to and from the iPod won't recognize it either. I've gone through the steps for the usual "not recognized by iTunes" and "recognized as a camera" troubleshooting since my problem doesn't seem to be as common as those. So far I've got no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

You need to install iTunes in order to install the necessary drivers.

5th gen ipod recognized by itunes but not by my computer.

I wanted to add notes to my ipod but it's not showing up in 'my computer'. The ipod is still recognized in itunes and I can still add and remove songs.
Whenever I plug it in to the computer I a message that says
"Do you want to scan and fix ipod (:J)?
There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it."
When I click Scan and Fix it says "The disk check could not be peformed because Windows cannot access the disk."
I've completely removed and reinstalled itunes and reset my ipod multiple times. I can't tell you how many time I've gone through the 5 Rs.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or If I can fix it? I have Windows Vista.

Follow the instructions in this article.

Usually this happens when the device was improperly ejected from your PC.

My iPhone is recognized by iTunes but not by Windows 7, either as a device or a camera. How do i fix this?

I have an Iphone 5s and had to rebuild my laptop. Once windows 7 was re-installed, I re-installed the latest version of Itunes and connected my Iphone. Itunes can interact with my Iphone but when I try to get to my Iphone outside of Itunes, specfically to get my pictures off of it, I cant find it. I have checked the driver and followed instructions for that but it has nto helped my situation. Any other ideas?

The Windows 7 section of the following has some information that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

IPod touch recognized by iTunes but not my PC??

It hasn't always been this way...and I quite frankly haven't the slightest clue why suddenly my iPod is not recognized by my computer and also my xbox 360 as well. I can still manage my library and all that from iTunes though...weird.

unless they have saved photos on them. (ones obtained on the ipod rather than ones that have been synced from a computer)

IPod classic 160gb recognized in itunes but not Windows

Bought this week and I have spent the last 3 hours trying to get this to work.
Windows says that the "hardware is installed and ready to use", but the iPod is not found in "My Computer".
Device Manager -> Apple mobile device usb driver says it is working properly. I have removed it, reinstalled it, restarted my computer, done the "5 R's" of Ipod troubleshooting nonsense and I am about to give up.
Let me also note that in device manager under disk drives there is "Apple Ipod usb device" when I go into properties under device status it says no drivers are installed for this device. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but if it does Windows says that I have the latest drivers for this device which is making my brain melt because it just said there are NO drivers! *deep breath...exhale.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

ok great now I see the ipod icon in my computer, thanks!. On to my next dilemma.
It says that when in this disk mode I can only go through itunes when adding files otherwise they will be just data files.
This is my first ipod ( ive been using a creative zen for years). I have not a single itunes file. What are my options for putting my entire 60 gb library on my comp hd into my itunes library without adding folder by folder. It would take forever manually.

My Ipod touch is recognized in iTunes, but not in My Computer

I recently got a new computer and all my music is on my ipod, much of it was from cd's. To transfer my music on my ipod to my computer i believe my ipod needs to show up in my computer but it isn't... can anyone help?

Okay, so i did some more looking into it and was able to answer my own question...
The ipod touch wasnt programmed with the function to go into disk mode which is why it is not showing up in My Computer... (Something along these lines)
I feel a little dumb now but i guess if anyone else had the same problem this could help...???
To transfer the music from my ipod touch to computer i went to this link:
www.wideanglesoftware.com
and it was a life saver!
i used the free download which allowed me 100 free music tranfers (which was just enough for me!) and was very easy to use!
It allows you to copy the music on your ipod(as well as movies, videos, photos, etc...) to itunes in one simple step
i hope this was helpful to someone... otherwise im just wasting my time...

IPOD 1st generation recognized in iTunes but not my computer

I have a Windows XP.
When i plug in my ipod, everything seems fine, it shows up in my computer, and after a couple minutes, iTunes comes up an it shows up fine in there too. A couple minutes after that, Ipod disappears from my computer. When i try to put songs on it, itunes tells me that "the disk cannot be read or written to." It wont update the ipod either, even though itunes keeps telling me there's new updates for the ipod.
I've tried, restarting the computer, reinstalling itunes, reinstalling the ipod, reinstalling the usb port drive, and charging the ipod for hours on end etc. I'm not getting anywhere.
Can someone help me?

Somebody please respond to this! I'm having the same issues.

On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

Hi pedro109,
If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 5 is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes (OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5)

I am helping a friend with her new iPhone 5.
Issue is that it is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes.
iPhone 5 16GB, iOS 6.1.4
OSX 10.6.8v1.1, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5
Computer: iMac C2D 2.4 GHz (Early 2008)(iMac8,1), 1 GB RAM,
History, recently updated in-place from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.8v1.1 SL, just for the iPhone 5.
Installed iTunes 10.7 (as we do not like interface and loss of separate Playlist view in iTunes 11).
Noted that iPhone 5 stipulates that iTunes 10.7 or higher is required -- So should be OK there.
Initially iPhone was recognized by both iPhoto and iTunes. Then shortly later, iTunes did not see it anymore, was missing from iTunes Devices list.
Called Apple Support, agent walked us through removing iTunes and the iTunes Receipt packages.
Then Reinstalled iTunes 10.7. Ran Permissions Repair. Restarted computer.
Seemed all good, iTunes (10.7) saw and synced and updated the iPhone.
But Now, after two or three weeks, when user plugged in her iphone and ran iTunes, it did not show the iPhone at all, though iPhoto did start up and show pictures.
So the iMac computer sees the iPhone5 well enough to get picture data, but apparently not well enough for iTunes sync.
(she tends to use the wall charger and not plug it into the iMac very much at all).
In all other known respects, both the iPhone5 and the iMac C2D seem to function normally.
Any thoughts?
I looked at KB article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
And at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X).
And finally am thinking we may need to ALSO do the uninstall via: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (Remove Apple Mobile Device Service). But I have not visited with here to do that yet.........)
Any thoughts on best way to proceed?
Thanks.

Is the software on your computer up to date? You may want to try reinstalling it as well...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Update iPod's Software
Also, try right clicking on the iPod (in My Computer) and go to format. Does anything happen?
