Vista not recognizing IPhone as camera....

Well, my IPhone and Vista worked fine a couple days ago but now, Windows doesn't recognize IPhone as a camera, so i can't get my pictures off it as easily.

The link above is Vista trying to install drivers but failing. It was working fine before but it just...stopped.

First connect open iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer then follow the steps below
1. Hold down the Windows Key and press R.
2. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
3. Right-click Apple Mobile Device listed under Other Devices and then select Properties.
4. Select Browse…
5. Point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\drivers and click OK.
6. Disconnect your iPhone close iTunes then reconnect your iPhone and try again
The install should finish and your iPhone should now be all good.
If this does not work
Quit iTunes if it is open
From the Start menu select the Control panel
In Windows XP, choose Add or Remove Programs, then click Remove. Also remove any other items with the word “iTunes” in their names. Also remove any iPod-related entries.
Restart your PC.
Delete the iTunes program itself, if it still exists after the steps you’ve already taken (by default it’s located in the “Program Files” folder)
Again restart your PC.
Download the latest version of iTunes for Windows and install it.

TS1538 iTunes 10.6.1.7 and Win/Vista Not Recognizing iPhone 4S!!!

I bought my first iPhone which is a 4s two weeks ago, and the latest iTunes did not recognize it, while Win/Vista recognized it on the drop down list and as a camera. The same iTunes was able to detect iPhone 4 which I bought for my family member. I then connected iPhone 4s to iTunes under WinXP, and it worked fine, so I was totally confused. I submitted the question to Apple iTunes Feedback, and did not receive any reply.
I have used iTunes many years with iPod and iTouch, and was happy with it, but this incident changes my perception of Apple completely!
Eventaully, I did more research on the web, and learnt during the iTunes installation, iTunes did not update the device or USB driver for iPhone 4s!!! It was solved, under Win/Vista, by updating the device driver by pointing to the iTunes directory. My conclusion is this has to be a bug of the iTunes installation process.
Very disappointed with Apple's lack of response. I actually planned to switch to use Mac, but this experience or rather Apple's effort to rectify the problem has changed my attitude towards Apple completely. It is a shame! Or is this their tactic to encourage Win users to migrate to Apple Mac???

I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

Re: iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5
Feb 16, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to oryyx)
Had this problem this morning.
Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
This morning had the problem,too.
Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

My PC not recognizing iPhone

My Pc not recognizing iPhone. I tryed a lot of ways but nothing help.

If its anything like what my pc does from time to time... Is that when I plug in , Itunes "locks" up for a period of time followed by it finally "letting go" and then not seeing my iphone. Granted, I use an Iphone 4 but none the less I'm assuming this is the issue you are having.
What I do (cant take credit for this, learned from another user on these boards) is hold your home button and power button at the same time. Let the iphone turn off and then turn it back on. Plug it back in , and it should be seen. If that does not work (does not always for me) try it when the usb cable plugged in. One or the other usually does the trick for me.
Good luck!

Mercedez Benz COMAND System not recognizing iPhone 5 after iOS 8 update, can we expect the same result with iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

Mercedez Benz COMAND System not recognizing iPhone 5 after iOS 8 update, can we expect the same result with iPhone 6 or 6 plus?
I'm planning to purchase the 6 plus, but I need to know from where.whom will the fix for this problem emerge.

My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system. That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.

Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
Any suggestions out there?

How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

IPhone 4S/5.1.1 not recognized as a camera

I have an iMac with 10.6 and I can't get my iPhone 4S wiht 5.1.1 to be recognized as a camera in iPhoto or in Image Capture. It is recognized with iTunes and I have attached a friends iPhone 4S/5.1.1 and it is not recognized as well just in iTunes but still no camera.
Since the lack of recognition is only with the camera portion and happens to multiple devices and no app can see it, I am assuming this is an OS level problem and I haven't found any advice on the scenario other than use a different computer which isn't practicle.

sometimes it is recognized as a camera, but most of the time it only appears as charging.

Iphoto not recognizing iphone?

I cant get iphone to download photos not even an option in iphoto.

Same problem here, photo sync used to work fine, stopped all of a sudden. I wanted to sync before the 1.0.2 update just in case, and I had about 200 photos outstanding. Plugged in phone, not recognized in iPhoto or image capture. Rebooted mac (G5 dual), reset iPhone, plugged in again, nothing. There were a couple of timeouts on the USB bus in the log that looked suspicious.
I was now at the "grasping at straws" stage, so I grabbed the USB cable that was included in the iPhone box and tried that (I had been using the USB cable that came with an iPod). This was -really- grasping at straws and really hoping for magic, since the phone with the other cable was working fine syncing with iTunes....just not the photos.
So unplugged the old cable, used the new one, and it worked. Freaky. To double-verify, I went back to the iPod cable, and it also worked now. Double freaky.
So, who knows. But it might be worth a shot to try the original cable if you're using a different one. Switching USB ports maybe would help as well? Or just plug it in, leave it for a few seconds, and then unplug both ends of the cable and plug it back. Nothing makes much sense, but these activities apparently fixed it for me.

Windows 7 does not recognize Iphone as Camera

Hi,
i recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) on my PC and syncing my Iphone (OS 3.0) with Itunes 9 works fine. BUT the Iphone is not recognized as a Digital Camera anymore, so no Dialog pops up when i connect it and i am not able to import Photos to my Computer. Device Manager only displays it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". Is there anything i can do to fix this Problem? Thanks in Advance!

Not sure if there is anything you can do since I don't believe Windows 7 is supported with the iPhone, which hasn't been officially released.

Windows Vista not recognizing ZEN Mi

I upgraded to Windows Vista 32-bit ultimate, and my ZEN Micro is not recognized. I have let Vista search for drivers online automatically, but it finds no solution. Creative says there is nati've support, so why is my ZEN not recognized?

Update:?I downloaded the XP driver and ran it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. My ZEN now shows up under My Computer, however the device is still not recognized by MediaSource, ZENcast, or the playsure sync manager. I get the error "no device connected" even though it is showing up in My Computer and I can view my files. Any ideas?Message Edited by michaelgazin on 04-8-2007:58 PM

PC not recognizing iPhone 3G

I have an iPhone 3G and for some reason my phone is no longer being recognized by my PC. Please help me figure this out.
I plug it in with its USB connector and my PC (running XP) no longer picks it up. Also, one of my iPhone capable music players does not register it. The last time it worked, I plugged it in and both the iPhone and PC would recognize each other and then not recognized each other; as if I was plugging and unplugging the USB connection repeatedly. I can still charge it through the wall charger and one of my other music players also recognizes it. I have received error messages from iTunes saying it encounter a read error, but now I don't get get an error message.
Please help me figure out why this happens.

I was able to get the device to work by stopping and then starting the Apple Mobile Device Service.
I followed this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

ITunes 8.2 not recognizing iPhone 3G

I have an Intel iMac and since the upgrade, iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone anymore. iPhoto does not open on its own anymore either. I have checked preferences etc., but cannot find how to correct this. I have also done a soft and hard reset on the iPhone.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem.
I saw that there was a new version of software available for my iPhone yesterday and decided to download it.
First I had to upgrade iTunes. I followed all the instructions but when the system restart occured, there was a glitch of some sort and it took a while for the installer to figure it out and fix it.
After *successfully validating the install*, it would not recognize my iPhone - which was connected to it moments before the install started. It repeatedly had me disconnect it and then reconnect it trying to see who's phone it was. Finally I rebooted again and it recognized the phone and downloaded and installed the new 3.0 operating system and then it re-sync'd the phone.
Everything was working fine at this point.
I eject the iPhone from the menu and later go to reconnect it to add some playlists I had made.
Again it does not recognize the iPhone - it knows one is there but can't figure out whose it is! Rebooting, disconnecting ect... doesnt help.
There is nothing in the Help Manual to steer me in the right direction.
Anyone have any ideas?
