Windows sees iphone as camera

My iphone is no longer visible in itunes even after uninstalling and re-installing itunes. Also, windows see the iphone as a camera (with the label Apple iPhone). It used to recognize it as a phone with my phones name.

PC no longer sees iPhone as camera in "my computer".

I used to be able to access my pictures this way using the Windows explorer. How do I get my pictures from the phone to the PC with this feature removed after upgrading to iOS 5?

Try manually opening an import program: Start > All Programs > windows photo gallery
Check if the device shows there.
See if the same happens on another computer if possible.
If the issue does not occur on a different computer, try running windows update and make sure all drivers are up to date.
If the issue does occur on a different computer, try deleting any pictures in the camera roll that were not taken with the iPhone camera (it sounds like you've done this already)
Lastly, restore the device and set up as new. If by 'reinitialized' you mean restore, it was likely restored from backup at the end.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

One thing that might help.
When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.
Hope this helps.

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

Some videos that are taken with my iphone's camera are not making sounds, this problem occured today to all videos i recorded starting from today, please help

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

IPhone 4 Camera Excessive Color Fringe / Distortion

Hello everybody,
the following is a topic that I move with me since quite some time, but maybe someone can help solving it.
My iPhone (4) camera has extreme color fringing problems. As you can see in the following pictures, it occurs mainly on gradients.
I don't expect that camera type to have a similar behaviour as good DSLRs, but is this here normal?
The following image was taken in normal daylight.
How can I remove it? My software is always on the newest level, and the lens itself hasn't any scratches etc.
Is this a case for Apple tech support?
Best regards,
S.

You can't attach photos here, only link to them elsewhere.
Regarding the camera, I have to ask because others have made the mistake...have you removed the protective film from the back of the phone yet?
With the white hazy shots, it's extremely important to make sure the lens is grease free so wipe it with a soft cloth and try again. You'll be surprised how much difference it can make.
Especially important when a light source such as the Sun or a window is just out of shot (flare)
As far as the yellowing goes, all digital cameras (even several thousand pound DSLRs have trouble using auto white balance in tungsten lighting. I bought an app called "Almost DSLR and it clearly shows the WB being adjusted right down, to a point where it can't be adjusted any more. At this point the photo appears yellow (too high a colour temperature)
With a bit of luck it will be fixed in a firmware update, but in daylight and halogen etc, the colours SHOULD be excellent, along with sharpness and contrast.
Like I say, give it a little clean and try again.

IPhone 4 camera video won't copy to computer, file 500M

I have just recorded several videos with the iphone 4 camera.
They all playback fine on the phone.
I can copy all the videos except 1.
The file in question is 503MB.
When i go to copy this file, it shows the file transfer box (Windows XP) for a few seconds and then disappears, leaves a file behind with the size of 0.
I've also tried this on a mac and it won't copy the video, iphoto gives an error, unable to transfer file or something like that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It just happens to be the only video i want to access.

Let your iphone do a full synchronise with iTunes. Once that's done close iTunes then go to the folder where the files are synched to on the PC. With XP it is something like C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\...Backup\ then a long string of characters. On Vista/7 it will be in Users somewhere. The folder will contain lots of files with meaningless names. List them by date then copy all the large ones from today somewhere else. Rename them to something ending with .mov and at least some of them should play.
This method worked for me on a 1.2Gb video I had recorded, Hope this helps.

Importing Photos From iPhone and Camera

I am new to Aperture (3.1.1) - Previously used iPhoto (7.1.5). I have not been able to find Aperture settings that allow for import window opening upon connection of camera for preview of images, option to select images for import and option to delete images from iPhone or camera after import. This was a really useful tool in iPhoto and greatly simplified my workflow. Please help find this ease of import option in Aperture that I previously enjoyed in iPhoto.

Thank you for the link. I am not getting the dialogue pop-up referred to in item 7 following import. I'll try your suggestion: "If this does not pop up, you may need to delete the 'ImportPreset' file (~/Library/Application Support/Aperture) and / or the 'com.Apple.aperture.plist' file (~/Library/Preferences)."
May I ask; Am I deleting the file because a possible problem is suspected with the file?
Will the file be re-written automatically after I delete it? Or
Are the file or files not needed?
If I can get that pop-up, happy days are here again.
Those files are recreated by Aperture on launch if removed and everything they control is set back to the default settings (so the Import Presets file holds any import settings you last used, and the preferences file holds any settings you made in the 'Aperture menu > Preferences dialog).
If you remove them, then you will need to reset any settings you changed from the default settings you saw when you first launched Aperture (and will see on first launch after removing them).
The pop-up will show up after importing from a camera card, but not from an iPhone (at least not from mine which is the 3G). Also, with an iPhone (at least with the 3G), you need to enable the Sync function in iTunes by selecting 'Aperture' from the list under Photos. You can create a specific project for the iPhone in Aperture previous to doing this which allows you to select that project for the Sync.
Once you enable the Sync in iTunes, Aperture will load automatically with the import browser showing you the images available for import (as well as allowing the other import options for those images that Aperture offers). Again - and unfortunately for users like yourself - the small pop-up dialog will not show after import for the iPhone (probably has something to do with iTunes having priority - ownership - of the Sync functions).
Note - on further review on my end, there is no 'Do not display this dialog again' check box in the small pop-up, so removing those files probably won't be necessary as the pop-up should show when a camera card is connected and imported.

Jabber for Windows and Iphone

We are running Jabber on cucm 9.1 WE use microsoft RDS and all works fine locally. users can sign in with their AD account and see their presence, use their deskphone and receive email. that works on both the windows and Iphone clients.
When they are logging in via a anyconnect VPN however. the im and presence shows no status for anyone, even though they are logged in but the phone and vociemail is fine, calls can be made and received. The ASA is not blocking anything so not sure where to start with this one

I just did a full deployment for jabber 4 windows iphone, ipad and android and to get my presence status working as well as photos shown and directory searches I had to make use of the BDI config in my jabber-config.xml file on the cucm as well as the UC services on the cucm and mine is working 100%.
That is all why I am asking.

You can't.

Can you use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera?

Reason I ask is because it would help me out at my job, and might be helpful to someone else.
I work a resident manager at a storage facility (live on site) and we have to mirror check units to make sure people aren't storing what they are not suppose to and sometimes I have pull out the bulky 8 foot ladder. Or to see if they move out of the unit and left their lock on the unit.
I was wondering if there was a camera/device you can plug into the lightning connector and use your iphone5 as a view finder like a borscope/endoscope.
Because the camera on the back if you reach over a storage unit you can not see the screen, and then if i flip it around to use the face camera i cant use the LED light... also taking a photo using the flash on the back camera does not get a clear picture at all
I don't have wifi in the building that I can use to do an IP camera.
I was looking at Bluetooth cameras like the "Contour" but its out of my price range.
Is there a way I can use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera? with an app?
I think if someone can invent this they could make some Big money
Is there any cheaper Bluetooth cameras out there so I can point the camera over the unit with one hand and use my iPhone 5 as a view finder in the other?

I have an external HDD that I use for backups once in a while, BUT to be honest with you I last backed up my iTunes stuff (around 30K songs) over a year ago. Maybe it is time for another backup.
In all fairness, the whole time I have been using Mac's (since 2001) I have never had a major crash (knock on wood) so it has not been high on my priority list tbh. This said, how Apple have been acting lately I feel they have become a little too big for them selves and I have started to notice errors here and there, something that was unheard of earlier
Anyway, in most cases it is never the HDD that causes problems and extracting data from these are not a major hinder so I'm good...
EDIT: Oh, maybe I misunderstood the question
