TS4062 Computer not recognizing Phone

My iPhone is not showing up as a device when I am plugging it into my computer. The last time it was plugged in, the wrong button was clicked and it is now recognizing it as a camera only. Any ideas on how to fix this?! I'm running a Windows8.1 computer.

Why do you want to see it in "My Computer"?
Have you taken pics with the iphone that you are trying to import?

Computer not recognizing phone but iTunes does

I know there have been several issues with Windows 7 not recognizing iPhones. iTunes does recognize my phone but when I try to sync it my computer does not recognize it. I went to the Device Manager which does show the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It says I have the most current driver installed but yet when I go to My Computer it does not show my phone as being connected. Please let me know what I am doing wrong!!!!

Computer not recognizing phone

Hi Guys,
Earlier my phone was recognized by my PC when the USB mode of the phone was set to "data storage". Few days ago I got a virus on the the PC and while cleaning it, ASC (Advanced system care) removed some registry entries.
Now the Nokia phone is not being recognized by my PC. Device manager shows it as "Other Devices". How should I make my phone work? Any ideas !!!
P.S. - I don't use Nokia PC suite as I don't need to synchronize/backup data. I just need to transfer data between phone and PC using USB mode.

Why is my computer not recognizing my phone as a device?

My computer is not recognizing that my phone is plugged in... It will charge it, but it won't download my pictures or show that it is even connected on my devices. I have updated all my itunes stuff and restarted my computed. What do I do?

Sometimes, your Apple ID is actually "username" instead of "[email protected]" Try putting the username of your email instead of the actual address, and see if that works?

Computer not recognizing the iphone

The Problem:
All of the sudden, whenever the iphone is plugged into the computer, the computer fails to recognize its presence. However the itunes program recognizes that the phone is plugged and allows syncing, etc...).
The OS:
This is a WINDOWS XP
The Goal: Want it to show up in the camera and scanner wizard so the photos can be transferred on to the computer.
Troubleshooting Done So Far:
- Restarted the iphone. Computer didn't recognize iphone after this.
- Restarted the computer. Computer didn't recognize iphone after this.
- There was an update recently, but it was working fine after the update so this shouldn't be the problem
-Tried plugging into different USB ports (all of which work with other devices). Still not recognized.
- Tried going to "disk management" to disable and enable the iphone option under "portable media". There was no iphone option.
- Tried going to the "control panel" and to "cameras and scanners". There was no iphone option.
Getting Desperate...
- Tried free software called "read disk" or something like that which is a free iphone explorer application. That worked - could find the photos, but they were in a .dth format so they couldn't be retrieved
If you can offer a work around at least so the goal can be achieved that would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance!

I had this exact problem it's not your computer it's the software on the phone here's what apple did had me reinstall iTunes 12x then wipe and format my hard drive. They replaced my phone 3x all this started with 3.1 3.1.2 did not fix finally the third phone took and apparently from other post they still have problems if I were you call apple log a case then go into apple store I personally think they eaither don't care or don't know how to fix it. They will have you do every step they have. After you call and log a case try this restore the phone as a new phone not from a back up that has helped some.

- I would start with

or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause (after you do the above)

Computer not recognizing my built in iSight

my computer is not recognizing its camera. I have tried restarting, forcing restart, and holding keys that apple care has previously told me to hold. I checked in my system profile and it does not even show my build in isight. Does anyone have a trick that has worked for them before, or a special way to restart my computer that may fix the problem? i am leaving for europe soon and don't want to mail in my computer if i don't have to!

I have reset the PMU twice and have reset PRAM (holding down apple-option-p-r at startup),I have also repaired disk permissions on my startup disk.
I can get access to the built-in isight for photobooth and other apple applications but as soon as I try to enable it in VMWare Fusion it stops the VMWare machine (Windows Vista) from booting until I disconnect the iSight from VMWare.
The iSight then disappears from the available hardware in VMWare Fusion (so I cannot reconnect it in Fusion) and I cannot access the iSight in any Apple application.
I have Applecare... I think I'll see if I can get any help there.

Computer not recognizing that my ipod is pluged in!!

I have recently reformatted my comeputer and got some new music put on my itunes and when i tried to plug in my ipod it just doesnt do anything...like the little screen on the ipod that usually sais "do not disconnect" doesnt come up...the computer doesnt even accnowladge that anything is pluged in...i tried downloading the newest ipod softwhare and that didnt work...i tried putting in the origional disk that came with it and that didnt do anything...also when i plug my ipod into the computer it drains the battery instead of charging it...suggestions??

I don't know if this might work for you guys but this is what got my problem solved. If you experience the following, the Ipod was working but suddenly it stops working (i.e. the ipod screen is totally blank no icons like battery low or whatever) and when you connect it to the computer the little sign that means do not disconnect does not appear (the pc does not recognized that the ipod is connected) then maybe this might solve your problem. Do not connect the Ipod to the computer for about 24 hours. Do not try to charge it or anything just leave it by itself let the battery drained then try it the next day and hopefully the icon of battery is low will appear then you can charge it by connecting to the pc.
This is what happened to me by accident i guess, i had given up and had realized that i had just spend two hundred dollars on something that didn't work but today i tried to turned it on and the battery is low icon appeared so i connected to the PC and now it works.
Good Luck.

Computer not recognizing?

I have two issues here on my 8330.
First one is from day one, when I connect to the laptop, the BB does not show up as a drive at all. All my other phones (not BB's) have shown up as a drive where I can open folders within and drag and drop. Why can I not do this with the BB?
Most recently the device manager is not recognizing my phone either, I plug it in and it shows an error with the USB, saying the device is not recognized, and in the device manager, I have a yellow exclamation mark saying 'unknown device'.
I have researched these issues online and can't find anything that will solve either of my problems and I'm getting extremely frustrated. At this rate, I'm ready to get rid of the BB and go for something like the iphone if I can't get this working properly. Seems to be more trouble then it's worth

Computer not recognizing Shuffle

Hi,
I went to plug in my iPod shuffle to load songs and iTunes won't pop up, and it seems that the computer is just not recognizing it.
I also tried it in my Windows computer, and I'm experiencing the same problem. I took it to the Apple store closest to me (unfortunately I didn't make a "reservation" - the guy did look at it though, and confirmed that it was not working properly).
All of the lights come on and everything so it's not like the unit is dead. I just purchased it in June.
Instead of going back to the store, is there a place where I can ship it for repair? Will Apple send me a box to put it in postage-paid?
Has anyone experienced this problem with their Shuffle?
Thanks!
