Windows Vista wont show iPhone in My Computer

It wont show up in My Computer or as a digital camera. It works fine otherwise, it syncs fine with itunes. How do I make it show up as a removable device under My Computer? I'd like to do this in order to take the pictures that I took with the camera off onto my computer.
Thanks

Actually, this is not true when it comes to pictures.
I can pull pics from my iPhone using windows (via My Computer), Photoshop Elements, iTunes and Corel...
Whenever I put my phone in the doc I am prompted by 3 programs to retrieve the pictures with. (rather annoying, actually...!!). And yes, all 3 work.

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Windows Vista wont install Ipod drivers

    OK I NEED HELP....
    I have Windows Vista and I am trying to install my iPod Nano, but everytime I plug my iPod in it ask me to insert the CD that came with it. As I don't have a CD I just click to install drivers automatically. Than it gives me an error saying 'unable to install drivers'. The divers do show up in the device manger under- other devices but there is a little warning sign next to it. So I right click on it and update driver, which it then tells me that it can't update driver. I have the latest version on iTunes and Quicktime, and I have also done a restore on my pc. Spoken to Apple 4 times!!! got no where with them. My iPod works fine on Windows XP machine, but not my Windows Vista. Has anyone else had any troubles with Vista??

    I'm not sure my problem with Vista is the same. New computer with Vista, and I'm trying to transfer my library from old computer to new one. I loaded latest version of iTunes. When I put in my apple ID, my acct balance and items in my shopping cart appeared. When I connect my iPod, it is recognized.
    I found an article that gave two options for copying library to new computer. One was to use backup discs to RESTORE, and the other was to use the iPod as a hard drive. It says that it will ask if I want to restore when I insert backup disc, but it does not ask. I tried Import, but tht didn't work either. When I connect my iPod, it doesn't copy the contents from there either. It only gives me the option of erasing iPod and loading what is on new library (which is only about 12 songs). I get a msg that I am synced to another library and can only be synced to one. I still got that msg after I deauthorized the old one.
    Any suggestions on how to load music onto new library?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Windows Vista Wont Boot!! HELP!!

    Hello -- I have owned and Acer Aspire M5641 for 4 months with Windows Vista Home Premium preloaded by Acer. 
    I started having problems with random shut dows, restarts, blue screens. The last blue screen was 0x0000007B. I couldnt get past it, not even in safe mode. So I emailed Acer Support (apparently I have to pay to call) and explained the problem to them, asked for help. They told me to do a System Restore back to Factory Defaults.
    I went ahead, completed that and now when I turn on the system I get the Acer splash screen, and then  a black screen "Windows Boot Manager" that says: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be to blame. Well isnt it setting back to factory defaults, How can there be a software/hardware problem?  Anyways, it continues to say : To fix the problem insert installation disc and restart computer. If you dont have this disc, contact the computer manufacturer/system administrator.( I have contacted Acer, they are no longer responding to my pleas for help. I refuse to call and pay $300 for them to probably decide not to help me anyways.) The screen also says,
    File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
    Status: 0xc0000221
    Info: Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing or corrupt.
    It also gives me an option instead of loading Vista (which I cant) to use a tool: Windows memory diagnostic tool which comes up with, status: Hardware problems were detected, to identify and repair those problems, contact your system administrator/computer manufacturer.
    I have tried to contact Acer, thus far they havent helped/responded. I tried booting from a Vista Recovery CD, but that was of no help either.
    Can I use a Recovery DVD from another computer manufacturer? (a friend has one from HP) Or is there a way to get a Vista install disc from somewhere? Without buying new from store. I have the product key from the preloaded version that came on the computer.
    Any Ideas/Suggestion would be greatly appreciated!! Thank You!!

    From what I could find on your particular error code, it appears that the computer had an error as a result of a "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE". Microsoft support can associate that error with a boot sector corruption possibly as a result of a virus. I would possibly lean towards corruption and not a hardware issue because the computer is only 4 months old. Still, to remove the possibility of a failing hard drive, I suggest you bring the unit into your nearest Geeksquad® and have them run diagnostics under the manufacture warranty. Inform the Agent of what you were doing before the error occured so they might be able to give you tips on how to prevent it. But in your current situation, I would suggest reloading the operating system after talking to an agent in a store who can better examine the computer. Recovery discs are unique to your computer and recovery discs from a friend's HP will not work. Call Acer and they should not charge you to inquire about getting a new set of recovery discs. Recovery discs are generally $10 - $30. As an alternative, go to Acer's support site (http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/webpage.cfm?website=AcerPanAm.com/us&siteid=7293&areaid=7) and order the dics from there.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Agent Kevin - CIA Precint 00135

  • Ipod is FROZEN and WONT SHOW UP ON ITUNES/COMPUTER!

    My second generation Ipod is a little more than a year old and has worked splendidly until this last monday.
    Five days ago my ipod would not play a song, and when i tried to skip it, it wouldnt play that song either. The CD cover would also not show up.
    This has happened to me before, so i did what i normally do to fix it, plug it into a wall charger for a whole day. However, this did nothing. Today, I took it off the charger and plugged it into my computer, a little beep sounds but wont show up on itunes or my computer.
    It began to charge with my computer, but then it froze completely. Im unable to change the song or turn it off (when i take it off the computer it is still frozen for hours with the backlight and charging sign in the battery)
    obviosly i can not restore it if it wont show up on itnes, and i can not put it in disk mode if it is frozen!
    is there anything i can do?

    Mine did the same thing, hold down the center button then press menu hold them both down for about 10 seconds. You may have to do it more than once. I hope that helps!!!!!!

  • Why has windows vista home premium disappeared from my computer

    I have an hp a6511.uk which I have had for 4 years, it came with windows vista home premium, I did download service pack 2 last year. 2 days ago a window appeared on my screen asking me to activate windows as the copy I had was illegal. I duly entered the correct product key. it was confirmed that my windows was now legal but since all I have is a blank screen. I cannot find microsoft works or anything to do with vista, windows defender will not download, The initial screen comes on as usual & I have my usual shortcuts on screen but that is all. I have tried all forms of recovery but to no avail I feel my only solution is to install the back up cd I made when I first had the computer but I am afraid I may lose some of the software I have installed, has anyone had a similar experience, I have bullguard security.
    This question was solved.

    Hi there Student.  I also use Vista on my HP touchsmart PC at home.  I checked into the Microsoft forum to find some info about the "disappearing nature of your Vista Home premium" iCons and solutions.  If you google your problem statement, you'll see that this is not a new phenomonon.  Microsoft forum also has a paper with some fixit tools.  I've used such fixit solutions on my Vista PC and they actually work great!  Give this a go and let me know how it turns out!  Wishing you all the best with your a6511.uk PC...JWag

  • How do i connect my windows vista laptop to iPhone personal hotspot? Will it still work if my laptop doesnt have iTunes installed?

    I am currently using iPhone 4 and windows vista laptop. i cant seem to get my windows vista laptop to connect to the personal hotspot on my iPhone using USB. Is it because iTunes is not installed in my windows vista laptop?
    I have tried it on a MacBook Pro and it works perfectly fine.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

  • Windows vista 64 and iphone

    I cannot get my the iphone to sync with itunes.. it keeps telling me to reinstall itunes, is there any fix for this?

    Its not a perfect solution, but has anyone running Vista 64bit trid using Microsoft Virtual PC?
    I use MSVPC for a comptibility issue with an old game I like to play. Works like a charm.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx
    The only trouble with this is Im pretty sure "out of the box" MSVPC doesnt support USB, but I read in some forums that people got it to work.
    Might need to be pretty computer savvy to get it working properly, but for those with Vista 64 bit, it might be worth checking into?

  • Windows Vista wont recognize any generation Ipod. Not charging unless windows is booted off.

    When I plug in any genration Ipod in windows, it dosent make the chime like other devices. Nothing is showing up in device manger, ITunes, or My computer. For all intsesive purpse it's like nothing is plugged in there. Also, it only charges when windows is turned off but power supply on.  I tried 4 differnt cables and 3 differnt Ipods. A Touch, A Nanno, Classic, and a Shuffle. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. I made sure the power on the USB is set to on.
    Any further help would be nice.

  • Windows vista, Ipod shuffle 4th gen.  Computer cannot find device driver software for ipod.

    After several hours trying the troubleshooting options provided by the apple support site, I have come to what I think is the issue here.  My girlfriend recently got an ipod shuffle and when plugging it into her computer the dialog pops up saying it is installing device driver software for the ipod.  Eventually it asks me to insert the CD that came with the ipod.  No CD came with the ipod, so I click the option that says "I do not have my cd".  Then it gives me the option of searching automatically or manually for the driver software.  The automatic way can't find it.  Doing it manually, with the help of the troubleshooting page, didn't work either.  google search can't seem to help me on this one.  Also, I tried plugging the ipod into my computer (not hers) and it worked fine, it was able to install the device driver software on its own.  Does anybody know the issue here?  My computer has windows 7, and hers has vista.  Hers is Serice Pack 1.  When I tried installing service pack 2 it wouldnt work.  I don't know if that is the issue though.  I have tried just about everything, I think the issue is finding the device driver software.  When I do a google search nothing comes up, so I have no idea what to do at this point.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Well its surprising to know that! But even  have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen n dint face any problem like that. FYI no cd comes with the ipod jus take ur ipod to an apple exoert n he will solve ur problem .
