Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my Windows 7 laptop.  iTunes on this PC recognizes it okay, but Windows 7 does not see it as a camera.  On my old WinXP machine, it is recognized with no problem.

Did you check the camera notification?
Maybe you'll need to enable it again and reverse the process described in this article:

  • HT201302 My PC (windows xp) does not recognize the iPhone as a digital camera. What do I do?

    The iPhone 3G does not show up in My Computer, but syncs OK with iTunes, no problem.  I need to back up my photos on the iPhone!! Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

    When I connect my iPhone to a PC running Windows XP just to charge it, the scanner and camera wizard launches automatically prompting me what to do about importing the photos in the Camera Roll. I don't recall having to add my iPhone as a camera first. The scanner and camera wizard detected my iPhone as a camera automatically which it should do without having to do anything extra first - as long as there are photos in the Camera Roll.

  • My Windows computer does not recognize my iPhone.

    Hello. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop (Windows Vista) the iPhone does not appear in "My Computer." It does sync with iTunes. I searched around and apparently the fix is to delete and reinstall iTunes. Will I lose all of my music when I delete iTunes? What about videos, popcasts, etc?
    Thanks.

    4.In the "general" tab find the "startup type" drop-down arrow menu and make sure "automatic" is selected.
    5.Also in the general tab check the "service status". If it does not say "started" then click the start button.
    6.At the bottom of the properties window click "apply".

  • Windows does not recognize my iphone name, but itunes does

    This is a reqpost of another forum on diff site, but is the exact same problem i have~
    After the IOS5 update~  and and updating two phones on same computer~
    I have windows 7 x64bit, and the problem is it does not recognize my iPhone's name anymore.. in itunes it shows the correct name but when ever i look at My Computer listed under portable devices the name is wrong instead of being Louie's iPhone it shows Kim's iPhone (My Fiancees iPhone).. i can still access it and get my pictures and stuff but the name of the device is just wrong.. so im hoping you guys know how to solve this problem.. this only started happening when i installed iOS 5...
    so to sum it up..
    iTunes... Louie's iPhone
    Windows... Kim's iPhone
    here are the things I already did but did not work...
    ... uninstalled everything apple, rebooted and reinstalled.
    ... restored my iPhone as new 3x and still nothing....
    I am at a lost here.. so please help me guys? i know you can solve this coz sinful has never failed me before

    In Windows 7, it is not possible to change the name by right-clicking and selecting properties! It doesn't work...
    The only solution that worked was to search the registry for the incorrect name and adjust it by hand, which strikes me as a pretty ****** solution! Better would be that the Apple USB driver would just use a neutral name like "iPhone". Which makes me wonder what would happen if two iPhones are connected at the same time: how can they be told apart in the "Computer" application?

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

  • Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

    Two problems:
    1. Extemely slow charging:
    - I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
    - When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
    - I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
    - I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
    2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
    - I have Vista 32bit
    - I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
    - I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
    - I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
    When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
    1. I get a message saying:
    "Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
    2. I get a message saying:
    "Installing device driver software"
    3. I get a message saying:
    "Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
    - I click on "check for a solution"
    4. Then it tells me:
    "Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
    PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

    The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
    If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
    If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
    Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:

  • ITunes 10.5.0.142 does not recognize my iPhone 3GS

    My PC is running Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit OS.  My iTunes and iPhone syncing has been flaky since I began using this machine in July, 2011 but was working.  However, now iTunes does not recognize my iPhone at all.  Previously I was able to force a sync by opening iTunes and then plugging in the phone, but now that is no longer working.  The iPhone is recognized by the computer as it does charge, I can see it as a device in Window's Explorer and it asks what I would like to do with the photos / videos. 
    Here is the latest info on what is installed for each device:
    - iTunes:  10.5.0.142
    - iPhone:  OS 5.0.1, Firmware 05.16.05
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Feel free to ask further questions as I'm not exactly sure what other information to provide at the present time; I'm pretty much at a loss right now. 
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I have a 16Gb iPhone 3GS ios v 4.2.1 with iTunes v 10.5, yet when I connect the phone it tells me there are no updates available. I have 2 iPads, an iMac and a Macbook pro - all of which have upgraded successfully. I thought ios5 was available for the 3GS iPhone. Anyone got any ideas?
