Suddenly unable to view files on iPhone through Explorer?

I've had the iphone since it first came out and have always been able to browse the files on the iPhone directly, using windows explorer. Both XP and Vista 64 it showed iPhone as an additional drive that is browsable.
Now it shows up nowhere. Is there something Apple has changed that is causing this?
I need to get a video off the iphone onto my computer. All the options to do this from the iphone forceably truncate it, or "compress" its quality. I want the original file, untouched. How do I get it now?
Thanks

Photo and video importing does not take place within iTunes. iTunes does not even need to be installed to do this.
So its not possible to move files from the phone onto a computer using iTunes iPhone sync? That seems like an insanely huge design flaw. Most people don't even know about browsing files using windows explorer. How do most people get files off their iphone?
Sorry to ask the obvious, but is there something in the camera roll to be imported?
Well yes. About 40 photos and some videos that I have taken with the phone. After all, thats why they put a camera on the phone in the first place - i cant imagine they have no automated method for exporting the photos?
Did the iPhone disapear from explorer after installing any new software?
Valid question. But I plugged this phone into two other computers that don't even have itunes on them, and neither of them are showing this phone in the windows explorer screen. It absolutely did used to appear just like your screen cap showing the little iphone icon, on my main computer. It simply stopped working on my main computer, and does not work on the two other computers. This is why I assumed Apple did something in one of the iphone updates.
Something is definitely different. I used to plug the phone into the USB and within 2 seconds it would identify the phone as a digital camera. I'd even get a windows popup asking me if I want to browse the files, or import to photoshop, etc. None of that happens now.
All it does is this: in the bottom right corner, a little white rectangular icon appears with a green bubble that bounces around, while it says "installing device driver software". This message bubble slowly fades and disappears. The green bubble continues to bounce around the icon. When I double click the icon i get a poup in the bottom right corner of my monitor saying : "Digital Still Camera" and "Searching for preconfigured driver folders". After about 1 minute, a second gray icon appears next to the first icon. It looks like a computer tower or something. It has a green checkmark circle on it. The phone then vibrates twice as if its just connecting to the computer for the first time. The 2nd icon disappears, while the first remains, with the green circle bouncing all around it. This repeats and repeats with no progress made.
Does it appear as an 'imaging device' in device manager, or as an autoplay device? Anything listed under 'other devices'?
Device manager shows a "Digital Still Camera"
Under Imaging Devices I just have my standard "sony Visual Communication Camera", nothing else
There is nothing under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
I dont have an "Other Devices" in my device manager list.
I dont see it on your screen cap either.

  • Unable to view files on iPhone

    I am unable to view files that I have saved in my adobe cloud storage on my iPhone. I save a file in my cloud account at adobe and when i pull up the Adobe Reader app, I can see the file listings, but when I try to open a file, nothing comes up.

    "...when i pull up the Adobe Reader app, I can see the file listings, but when I try to open a file, nothing comes up."
    Do you see anything on the screen?
    Or is the screen completely blank (actually, white)?

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

    Hi,
    There are some photos which I am unable to view on iPhone 4S 64 GB. When I open those photos it opens up with a white screen but I am able to view those in the camera roll. It only happens when I open the picture to view it in the normal size. This photos are taken from the same device. I've performed Reset, refresh but its still the same.

  • Viewing file location in Windows explorer from within organizer. PE 10

    Does anyone know how to view a cataloged file location WITHIN  organizer Elements 10 by where the orgainzer opens up the file location in Windows Explorer (Not windows IE Explorer browser).  I know you can see the file path in the properties pane but I swear some how I clicked on a file once and Explorer opened up in organizer 10 showing the location in the file tree on the hard disk. I am using Widows 7 Home preminum with all updates.   Am I crazy?  Thanks.

      If you want to see the folder tree click the display button (near top right of Organizer) and switch to Folder Location View.
     

  • IPhoto suddenly unable to import photos from iPhone 4

    For some odd reason, my copy of iPhoto 09 has suddenly lost the ability to import photos and videos from my iPhone 04. The import starts, then simply hangs (without iPhoto actually freezing). If I force quit iPhoto, I then receive a message saying saying certain imported photos have not been added to the library and asking if I want to import them now. I click okay, and a just couple of oddly duplicated photos appear. iPhoto also no longer sees my iPhone unless I restart. Some mysterious corruption? Is deleting the iPhoto plist file and/ or cache likely to make a difference?

  • Unable to view files on my local site folder

    I've set a new Testing site in Dreamweaver CC and directed the local view to a current folder which has all my files on. However when in Dreamweaver I can't view the majority of the files and am therefore unable to load to my testing server or change the code within a file.
    I've tried reloading the local folder, moving it around but each time I go to Dreamweaver the files do not show in the files box.
    I have a couple of other sites directed to local folders and they seem to be ok although on checking there does seem to be a similar issue with one folder.
    How do I get Dreamweaver to recognise all the local folders and the files I specify and allow me to change them?
    I have looked at FAQ's and other questions but cannot find an answer although it may well be in there somewhere.
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    Here are two screen prints;
    first is what is seen in DW from the testing server, the second as seen in DW from local server.
    I have checked the directory of the testing server and all files are there, just not showing in DW.
    The local root folder path is C:\00-MAP Website-Local.
    I've checked the folder and hidden files is clear.

  • Why am suddenly unable to view YouTube Videos on Firefox. I am still able to view on Internet Explorer

    I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

  • Suddenly unable to save files edited in camera raw

    Mac Pro, 2 TB drive, 8 GB RAM, lots of empty HD space.  Nikon D4 RAW files
    After using camera RAW to process thousands of photos and saving in jpg with this equipment, suddenly I get a message in a window, "the file could not be saved".  I haven't changed any settings.  I can work around by opening in PS and saving. Emptied cache and didn't resolve issue.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks
    Don

    Also, I no longer get anything in "File Naming" after "Example:". I'm wondering if Camera RAW has beome corrupted,
    Not sure if I can follow your workflow because you also have files in iPhoto and Image Capture which settings both are not compatible with each other as with Camera Raw.
    But you have two options to use ACR, either in PS or in Bridge. Select a problem file and with right mouse click menu choose Open in Camera Raw, this opens the file in ACR using Bridge, the normal open command opens ACR in PS.
    This to see if it happens in both applications. If not reset prefs for the problem application, if both then maybe manual reinstall ACR plug in.
    But in all cases, can you provide more details about OS version and exact PS, Bridge and ACR version (the latter in PS, menu Photoshop, about plug in / camera raw)

    and I think if this is correct, you'll may find some other frustrationed owners asking the
    same question you have.

    BTW:
    You perhaps can install Audigy 2 drivers and software to your card. Here are the instructions how to do it.
    It's quite easy process. Download Audigy driver/software package (~20MB) (link is there), extract it into some directory. Download the patch (link is on Automatic Method sentence)and follow instructions how to patch the instalation package. Then installation process. I've modded my Audigy 2 to Audigy 2 Zs using a similiar method and everyting else, but GraphicMixer, works great.

  • Unable to view files after using "Migration Asst".

    I "migrated" my files from my old G4 to my new MacBookPro. Now I CANT VIEW my old files on my new Mac. I get a msg that says, "The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." The files all have a red-sign. This applies to all the files I had transferred.
    What I've done so far: I tried renaming my old G4 to match my new MacPro, but it did the same thing above. Migration Asst makes it sound so easy, (and basically it was) to transfer files, but it appears to me that a new "account name" is automatically set-up for the migration. I just want ONE ACCT, and to be able to read the files that have been transferred.
    What did I do wrong?
    THANKS!
