Retrieving pictures taken with iPhone after 3.1.1 update

My phone stopped showing up in "My Computer" as soon as I upgraded to iPhone OS 3.1.1. Two different computers, 3 different cables. Windows Vista.
My husband's phone went straight from 3.1 to 3.1.2 and his still shows up on the same 2 computers with the same cable.
The only thing I can think of that makes sense is the 3.1.1 update. He skipped it, I didn't.
I am now on 3.1.2, but I still don't see my phone as a hard drive.
Any thoughts?

I have confirmed deleting all Photos/Videos not taken by the iPhone stored on the Camera Roll on the iPhone fixes the problem where the iPhone doesn't mount as a Camera Device under My Computer. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on my Desktop PC. Good Find!
I was previously running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit on my Desktop PC and did not have this problem.
My Laptop is Windows XP Media Center Edition (yes it's an old laptop) and it too had the same problem until after the deletions. Interestingly enough I didn't realize the Laptop had the problem as I had a iPhone device showing up in My Computer but this was as a result of installing and running the "Xilisoft iPhone Transfer" application. That software intalls it's own device driver for the iPhone and it shows a iPhone device mounted all the time even if the iPhone is not plugged in.
This is such an obvious problem with Apple's device driver that I hope that Apple knows about it and is planning on fixing it. I did call into Apple Care before I found this thread and they were not very helpful at all. Their tech even admitted to not really knowing anything about Windows. He said he was more of a Mac guy. Figures, I suspect Windows iPhone users probably out number Mac iPhone users 10 to 1 and that they'd have some Windows tech's available, Oh well.

  • How to transfer pictures taken with Iphone on my PC?

    Hi, I just don't know how to copy or transfer pictures taken with my iPhone on my PC.
    I know to do it the other way round (pictures taken with my photo camera and transferred on my PC); to copy pictures from my PC on my IPhone.
    A friend of mine has the same question, so maybe somebody can help us both out? Thank you

  • Quality difference between picture taken with iPhone 4 and 4S when sent to iPad?

    Is there quality difference in picture if it's taken with iPhone 4 and sent to iPad via iMessage or if it's taken with iPhone 4S? Or does the software compress the images so that it doesn't matter if the 4S has better camera because both will be compressed to equally small file size?
    At least video quality is compressed so badly when sent via iMessage that it's unwatchable in iPad. Picture quality seems "ok" when sent from my iPhone 4, but I'm thining if 4S would be able to send images in better quality.

    Yes, but iMessage will always "optimize" videos (= make the file size small and quality bad), does it make the same process for images too? If it does, then the slightly better camera doesn't matter because both will be compressed to same low quality file.

  • Dpi for pictures taken with iphone

    I am trying to send a picture taken on my iphone to a contest. I need to know how many dpi's the pictures are. Can someone tell me?

    iPhone camera pics are 1200 x 1600 pixels. Dpi (dots per inch) is only relevant when printing - usually the requirements for photos specify a dpi and a size, i.e. an 8x10 image at 300 dpi means an image that's 2400 x 3000 pixels.

  • Pictures taken with iphone

    I have taken over a hundred pictures with my phone and I can't figure out how to get them off. I have emailed a few but there are far to many to do one by one. Is there another option, or do I have to spend more money on a apple program?

    Just use any photo application on the PC that can import photos from a camera.
    The iPhone works just the same as any other digital camera that you caoonect to your computer.

  • HT201302 Pictures taken with iPhone 5 cannot rotate once saved in Windows Live Photo Gallery please help

    Having a problem after taking a picture. When I email it and cc myself the picture needs rotated. I use Windows Live Picture Gallery and it will not let me rotate them either.Can anyone help.

    As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
    For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
    Best of luck.

  • White Eye in pictures taken with iPhone 4's flash

    Has anyone else had this problem? iPhoto will not let me correct this as it does red eye. Does anyone know the best way to remove the white eye?

    Yes, this is a serious problem. I suspect the pupils reflect white light because the flash is LED, rather than the typical incandescent flashes (which reflect red off the pupils). A lot of programs have built-in redeye removal tools, but "white-eye removal"? Haven't heard of it.
    Maybe the photoshop iphone app will add it?
    Or perhaps Apple can add it to a future release of the Camera or Photos apps that are built in to the phone.

  • Can I transfer and print pictures taken with my iphone?

    Can anyone, please, tell me if it is possible to transfer and print pictures taken with my iphone. I would need to print out a few pictures, but I could not fina any information about transferring or printing out pictures that are on my "Camera Roll" section of my iphone. Thank you very much for any help.

    When you connect your iPhone for the first time after taking a picture, Windows or Mac will pull up a dialog asking what you would like to do with "Digital Camera" or whatever the USB recognized question is saved as.
    With Windows, it will have "Camera and Picture Wizard" which will copy all pictures and save to where you specify or it will ask if you want to print them. **
    You can also change the default selection somehow to change to a new application if you installed such as Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. Note that after you check the dialog box "Remember my choice" whatever the wording is, you have to figure out where to change your choice afterwards.
    With Mac, it has iLife to copy the photos for printing.
    An alternative is to save the photos, then burn them to CD, and take it to CVS or a One Hour Photo shop to do it.
    ** The iPhone will still retain it's captured stills and re-ask the same question again and again until you delete the photographs on the camera application.

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

  • PS CC crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c.

    PS CC 2014 crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c. It is consistent. I have tried several different settings but does not get this to work. Seems like the import from LR to PS is not working as good as it did with LR 5 and CC2014. Anyone else seen anything like this? / Ola

    Hi again,
    I have deinstalled all versions of PS and reinstalled CC 2014. Updated the Graphic driver to the latest version. The system configuration is given below, processor etc. After reinstallation I have tried several combinations of import from LR to PS. It does not matter if it is a dng or a NEF raw file PS keeps crashing when I try to edit the imported file. See attached screen dump. Stressful… I have now tried everything I can think of and nothing has improved the situation so far. / Thanks Ola
