Why is my iphone 4s only showing up as a camera and not in itunes?

I have looked for all help pertaining to this but nothing has worked.
I just bought an iphone 4s 32 gb.
I have the latest version of itunes installed.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite L305 32-bit system.
I have made sure all of my OS updates are current.
I have stopped and restarted Apple Mobile Device.
Uninstalled ALL Apple products and reinstalled them.
AND I can still plug in my iphone 3gs and itunes recognizes it as well as my child's ipod touch but not my new phone!
I have reset all settings on my new phone and now it's at the part to plug in phone for itunes backup. I connect my USB (works perfect, all my devices I have tried and they all work, and I have tried pluggin in my iphone to all 3 of them with the same results), My laptop pings and shows the Apple iphone as a camera and shows up under my computer, but stilll nothing on itunes. I have even tried holding down the shift+control keyes (saw it somewhere in the discussions here), so now I am throughly mad that I can not even enjoy my new phone. I have done the icloud thing and can get my music but none of my tones, or books, or contacts or apps or, well anything else.
Any help would be great!

I assume you've already seen this, but this is Apple's troubleshooting page on your issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.  In particular, if you haven't already done so, you might want to look through items 4-6 at the bottom of this (checking the Apple USB driver in device manager, 3rd party mobile phone and security software.

  • How do you transfer photo albums to the computer?  When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon.  I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

    I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
    There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

  • How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you.  In the Terminal, you can type this:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.

  • I need help finding photos just downloaded to Lightroom...they only show up in "previous downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures

    I need help finding phots just downloaded to lightroom...they only show up in "prevoious downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures.  what can I do to correct this?

    Also, please be aware that Lightroom is not a file browser like your operating system Finder or Explorer is. If the photos are not in the folder you expected them to be in, it is because you (accidentally) imported them into a different folder.

    YYou have to describe your issue in more detail. Are you using iTunes? Trying to see it in Apple TV, etc, etc.

  • Why is my iPhone 4 only showing the apple logo?

    I was using my phone to surf the web and next thing I know it shuts off. Now all it does is show me the apple logo which fades after about 40 seconds and than reappears. I've tried to reset it, turn it off, and hook it up to iTunes but absolutely nothing works. It just keeps fading in and out of the apple logo. It's not jailbroken or anything.

    I would remove a song that has the button and reload it to see if it plays then. The songs may have gotten corrupted in the loading process.

  • IPhone + Exchange only shows email addy as the sender, not my name

    When sending an email from my iPhone, my email address shows (e.g. [email protected]) as the sender instead of my name (e.g. John Doe). This might be an issue with Apple's Exchange setup in iPhone OS 3.x but wondering if this might be an issue with Kerio.
    With IMAP only accounts such as MobileMe and Gmail on the iPhone, there is a field to enter the sender's name (e.g. John Doe) in the setup. There is no such field when setting up an Exchange account on the iPhone with 3.x software. So, when I check my sent email, I do not see my name in the 'From' field; only my email address (e.g. [email protected]).
    Any ideas? Thanks, in advance.

    This might work.  I had the same problem in Mail on my iMac.
    FIrst, login to www.icloud.com.  If your name is right on iCloud, open Mail in the iCloud window and click on the gear icon (prefeences)  You can fix your name there.  On the iMac, I had to wait a few minutes, quit and restart Mail, and check preferences.  Then on starting a new message, there was a pulldown under "From", that I used to select the one with my correct name and correct email address.  I just deleted that blank email, and others since then default to the correct name.
    Don't know if this will work for mail sent from the iPhone, but once the Cloud Mail is corrected, hopefully it will do the trick.

    Hello Tuesday117,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help troubleshoot this issue where you are not receiving all iMessages on your iPhone please follow the steps outlined below.
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
    Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

    The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
    If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
    You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
    *browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
    *browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

  • IPhone will only charge on my car charger and not mains

    Hello,
    My iPhone 5 does not charge on its mains charger. I insert the charger into the iPhone and nothing happens. I have also tried charging on my friends chargers and it still does not charge even though the charger works for their iPhones.  However It charges instantly on my car chargers. I have 2 car chargers and it works on both. The car chargers are not cable to usb chargers but Kensington car chargers.
    Any solutions?
    Many thanks,

    Bump.

  • My hardware RAID 1 only showing up in disk utility and not finder.

    Last week I finally was able to take my early 2011 iMac in to have my Seagate 1TB hard drive replaced for the recall.
    Late 2010 model iMac
    OS X 10.6.8
    OWC Mercury Elite Pro 4TB x 4TB Hardware RAID
    When I took it in the RAID 1 was working just fine. When I finally got the iMac back and booted everything up the RAID 1 was getting the dialog box that read "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer."
    I have tried going into disk utility to see if I can verify the disk and then saw it is coming up as two different volumes... Along with those two different volumes, I can not go to click verify as it is greyed out.
    I contacted OWC and they said they have never heard of this and had two solutions, to try a software like diskwarrior, or if that didnt work I can take the drives out and try another external dock to see if it is the RAID hardware.
    If anyone has any ideas as to what could help with this situation that would be great as I was under the impression (and told by a number of other people) that having a RAID 1 as my backup was good and should not need anything else. I just want to be able to get all the data off then I will rebuild it or send it into OWC.
    Thanks!!!!

    So a fault in the Hardware Raid controller could make it not read properly? I am planning on having a good backup set up after this!
    As for the screenshot, the original was not set up with the SoftRaid. When I got the computer back I installed that to see if that may pick it up and make it at least readable to save the data on it. The two in question are the highlighted 4TB drives, which befor also read as one drive as it was set up in the OWC enclosure as a hardware raid.

  • My iphone 4S only start whit cable plug in and then show battery very low (with red line end) then try to turn on but show searching in operator name command and not connecting and no work properly and when I plug out it turn off!!! what should I do?

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

  • Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

    Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

    If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud.  If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.
