Windows will no longer detect iPhone camera

I'm sorry to be the millionth person to post a thread about this problem, but I can't seem to find any solution to this problem. My computer simply will not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera anymore, so I can't import any of my photos. Yes, it is still recognized in iTunes, and there's still a sound that plays when I plug it in to any of the three USB ports on my ASUS laptop. And yes, I have taken many pictures. The camera roll is not empty.
Some of the steps I have taken to try to fix the problem:
Restarting the phone.
Restarting the computer.
Trying different USB ports.
Trying the other Apple USB cables I have.
Stopping and restarting the Apple Mobile Device Driver and ensuring that it is set to Automatic.
Reinstalling iTunes.
Downloading and copying usbaapl.sys to the System32 folder. (It was never there, nor is usbaapl64.sys - I only see usbaaplrc.dll.)
My phone had been working just fine until very recently. Could the problem have been caused by the recent MMS update?
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

I had this problem after updating iTunes, but a reboot of my computer fixed it. Try reinstalling iTunes, and if that doesn't help do a complete uninstall of iTunes, download a fresh copy, and install it. Then reboot again. Uninstall instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

My macbook pro no longer detects my camera.
After downloading thousands of photos, my mac no longer sees my camera. Nothing has changed. I have tried restarting the mac, using fresh batteries, different usb ports. When I try to download photos, iphoto opens up on it’s own, but my camera does not show up. Neither does it show up in any finder window, or under disk utilities.

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?
The connections just stopped yesterday. Both laptops work OK when connected by ethernet cables and my main PC running XP64 connected also by ethernet is not affected.
Both laptops can see my neighbour's wireless network and worked OK with my son-in-laws network last night when I took them over to his house.
Can I assume that the "wireless component has died?
Any recommendations for a direct updated replacement?
I'm currently connected to NTL broadband but may at sometime switch to Sky broadband in the future but I understand that I would not be able to do this with my NTL phone line.

Thanks for the comments Charrie21,
SSID Broadcast is enabled,
Of the 3 leds on the front left:
WLAN ACT is not illuminated
WLAN Link is illuminated [According to the instruction because it is connected to a cable modem],
POWER is illuminated.
Of the 3 leds on the front right:
LINK is illuminated,
ACT is not illuminated,
Diag in not illuminated.
The router has been reset several times.
SSID has been changed several times
Channel number has been changed several times
WAP was previously 64BIt and has been changed to 128Bit
Firmware version is the same date as currently on the Linksys web sute for this model.
I am thinking the "wireless" component is dead.

Iphoto will no longer recognize my camera, says it does not recognize the format....they are jpegs? And now it will not even open when I plug my Canon Eos Camera in to download. I have checked everything on the camera and it is working perfectly....

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanks

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I have dropped my ipad and have cracked the screen. Now the ipad will no longer detect or connect to wifi signals. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

I have dropped my ipad and shattered the screen badly. A new problem that has only come since the cracking of the screen is that the ipad will now no longer detect or connect to ipad signals. I have tried all the solutions i have found online but none worked.

It will cost approximately US$219 to US$299 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.
If you had purchased AppleCare+ when you bought the device, you would be entitled to up to two replacements over a 2 year period for $49 each.

PC will not recognize my iphone camera.

My PC (xp os) will not recognize my iphone as a camera in camera and scanner wizard. The wizard asks for a driver disk. Any suggestions.

If you don't already have the latest iTunes, get it, if you do have it, try a re-install...the driver comes from the iTunes install.

ITunes V12.1.2.27 on Windows 8 does not detect iPhone 6 with IOS v8.3

Hello there,
It all began when I installed the latest IOS 8.3 and iTunes V12.1.2.27. iTunes simply does not detect my iPhone 6 any longer, but it does detect my old iPod mini. Everything used to be working just fine until the software update was done.
I've run thru all the steps on the Apple support page and spent over an hour on the phone with customer support. Checked the Apple mobile device driver, deinstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes, changed connecting cables etc etc. Nothing works!!
Help!
LES

exact same issue. And I can be TOTALLY sure it is related to the update since I was at the birthday party of my little nephew taking photo and everything were just fine. Then my brother asked me if I had already updated my iPhone. I said no and then I updated it while I was still there. From the moment the phone ended the update, I ended taking photos... The update screwed the camera focus mechanism somehow. I'm trying to downgrade to 8.1.3 and see if it will be back to normal. In this case it is a software issue, otherwise it will be a hardware failure caused by the update. I'm dowloading 8.1.3 ipsw right now.

DM v6 will no longer detect my phone

I recently updated my DM to version 6 and it stopped detecting my bold9000
everytime i run my DM and connect my phone nothing happens. then whenever i try to close the DM it just won't close. i have to go to my task manager to manually end task.
please assist this issue. I am on windows xp SP3
I have already did the following:
1.    Install the desktop manager software – when installing the Desktop Manage software that came with your device be sure to Not have the BlackBerry connected to the computer during this process.
2.    Always use the USB ports from the back of the computer; never use a USB hub or a docking station USB port.
3.    If you have another UBS cable you can try doing that to make sure it is not the cable causing the issue.
4.    If you are using a laptop computer disable the power management settings.
    a.    For Windows-XP and Vista do the following to disable power management on the USB ports
        i.   On the computer, right-click My Computer and select Properties.
        ii.    Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
        iii.    Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
        iv.    Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties.
        v.     Click the Power Management tab, and clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
        vi.    Click OK.
        vii.    Repeat steps i. through vi. for each USB Root Hub listed in BlackBerry Device Manager.
5.    If you have uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop Manager Software trying using the following knowledge base article to do a “clean uninstall” of the software. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
6.    The existing USB driver installed is for an earlier model of the BlackBerry smartphone.
    a.    Manually upgrade the USB driver for the BlackBerry smartphone by completing the following steps:
        i.     Right-click My Computer and select Properties > Hardware > Device Manager.
        ii.     Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, verify that the BlackBerry smartphone is found.
        iii.    If an exclamation mark is displayed, right-click the BlackBerry smartphone and select Update Driver.
        iv.    If the Hardware Update Wizard prompts you to use Windows Update, select No not this time and click Next.
        v.     Choose Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
        vi.    Choose Don't search. I will choose the driver to install and click Next.
        vii.    Click Have Disk and then choose Browse.
        viii.   Browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\USB Drivers.
        ix.    Double-click on RimUsbNT.inf, click OK, and then click Next.
Hope that i get recieve some solutions soon

I have found that on my two computers (one work and one home), I have to plug the BlackBerry into the front of the machine. Seems that the USB ports on the back of the machine get overloaded (power draw), and won't connect to the BlackBerry.
On my work machine, plugging in the BlackBerry to the back of the computer even took out the keyboard. I had to disconnect and reconnect it before it would work again.
At home, I was plugging the BlackBerry into a powered hub. It worked fine for two or so years, then just stopped.
Might not be a power issue, but try different USB ports on your machine.

Iphoto will no longer download from camera

I have been using the earliest version of iphoto for several years and it worked great downloading from my Canon Powershot S1IS. About 6 months ago some of the images started coming in with parts grayed out, not all there, etc. Then it went through the entire download process with nothing showing up. I upgraded to iphoto 6. Now it tells me the images aren't a recognizable format. Any idea what the problem is? The camera/card works at digital output places???
Mac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You might try downloading and running the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions. It's been noted and recommended by Apple for a number of fixes, especially when incremental updates have been applied via Software Update.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
