Why has my iphone 4S stopped automatically uploading photos to my laptop when I plug it in?

My iphone 4S has always automatically uploaded photos when I plug it into my laptop, but now it wont do that and I cannot find it when I look on 'my computer' to manually do it myself. Please help!

  • Why has my iPhone 4s stopped automatically syncing?

    My older iPhone used to sync automatically to my desktop whenever I plugged it in to charge, but for some reason, probably simple, it doesn't anymore...any thoughts.  I'm not a techie, but can handle the basics... Thanks, Tom

    Greetings Leshmook,
    It appears you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing. That does sound troublesome. To help you resolve this, I have linked to an article that offers troubleshooting suggestions for this issue:

  • Why has my iPhone suddenly stopped working?

    I was in the middle of reading a text this morning when my iPhone suddenly turned off. Now, the screen is black and my computer won't even recognize it when it's plugged in. The battery should not be dead because it was charged over night and it does not turn on even after being plugged in for awhile. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it before it broke, the screen just suddenly went black. Has this happened to anyone else. Any suggestions on what to do?? Also, I haven't updated my iPhone  to iOS 5 yet if that's relevant.

    Contact 3 asap you may have been frozen because of inadvertant excessive
    data use or more.
    All you can eat does NOT apply overseas
    AND if you did not enable roaming they will certainly believe your iPhone has been stolen
    and taken out of the country

  • Why has Lightgroom (5.2) stopped importing my photos?

    I am running version 5.2 of Lightroom, and since Saturday, when I enter an SD card and attempt to import NEW photos, it says they are already imported and the pictures remaing dark.  How can I correct this?

    Normally, in the Import dialog box, when photos are greyed out, this means you have already imported the photos and there is no need to import them again.
    So we need to figure out why Lightroom thinks this, if they really are new photos.
    First, are you 100% sure that these have not been imported previously?
    Second, search for one of these photos by file name in the Lightroom library module. First, click on All Photographs. Then turn off all filters (ctrl/cmd-L once or twice). Then expand all stacks (photo->stacking->Expand all stacks). The do the search by file name? Do you find a file with this file name? Is it the same photo you are trying to import?

  • TS3989 Photostream stopped automatically uploading

    My iphone stopped automatically uploading photos to my computer photostream on April 7th.  I have turned off photostream on both devices and restarted them again but the photos still do not appear on my computer.
    I know how to get the photos on by other methods like emailing photos and transferring manually by connecting the 'phone and using windows live photo but I would really like the convenience of the automatic upload.
    Has anyone suggestions or solutions from a similar problem?  The Apple help does not offer much on this.
    Thanks

    Photostream does not work backwards. It is not syncing service, but streaming. It will stream from that point of the set up and on, but what you got uploaded now is all that you are going to get. You can verify my information by taking new picture and seeing it stream.

  • Why has my iphone stopped picking up my callendar via icloud

    Why has my iphone stopped picking up the Outlook calendar on my PC via icloud?

    Have you checked document and data syncing is enabled in settings > iCloud and iCloud is enabled in settings > Pages.
    For future reference, you might also consider backing up documents created or edit on your mobile device by sharing a copy to iTunes.

    why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Three months ago,photos I shot on my iphone 4 stopped automatically downloading onto my pc. Have not touched settings. Why?

    Three months ago,photos I shot on my iphone 4 stopped automatically downloading onto my pc into the Photostream folder.
    Have not touched settings. Why?

    If you changed the default folder for photo stream photos you might want to uncheck photo stream on the icloud control panel, then recheck it without changing the default location then take a new photo on your device and see if it syncs now.  (Some users have reported problems when they changed the default location.)

  • Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?

    Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
    It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
    According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
    WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
    Any suggstions?
    Thanks

    Did you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

  • Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook?  Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

    Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook.  Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

    You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
    Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
    Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

    let it do it's thing and reset.

  • Why has the iphone 5 been discontinued??

    Why has the iphone 5 been discontinued? how much can i expect if i sell my current iphone 5?

    Yea i regret buying it now. Worse move made by Apple to discontinue it
    If you believe it was a bad move by Apple to discontinue it, that would seem to indicate you think it's a good phone. So why do you regret buying it? Does it do less today than it did before you found out it was discontinued? Whether or not Apple still sell it actually has no affect on its performance. Hard to believe, I know!
