Windows XP can no longer "see" my iPhone as a camera/imaging device

can't sync photos from iPhone to computer; Windows XP doesn't even see it as a camera or imaging device. Weird, since iTunes is able to synch music/contacts.
No matter how I check, Windows XP can't find the device:
control panel --> scanners and cameras - nothing!
My Computer --> devices with removable storage - no iPhone
Computer Management--> Device Manager - no iPhone or scanner/camera

UPDATE - I think I've resolved my problem and that it is related to having my iPhone "passcode locked".
1. I connected it and unlocked the iPhone, synced music, but had the problems I noted in my original discussion post
2. I disconnected the iPhone, closed iTunes, reopened iTunes and reconnected the iPhone (making sure it was NOT passcode locked before connecting it) -- everything works fine.
3. now I can get back to my original issue, was to figure out how to get only my NEW iPhone captured photos to synch, or at least have them date ordered. But that's a subject for another post.
BOTTOM LINE - passcode lock may be the key for those who are having problems with their PC not able to see the iPhone as a camera/imaging device

  • After the latest update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column - how do you get to where you can pick

    After the latest itunes update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column. How can I get to the section where I can pick & choose apps etc to be synced?
    Also I had to get a new iPhone & so I backed up the night before to the cloud & my computer. When I tried to restore from back up with the new phone my back up wasn't there - shouldn't it be automatic via wifi from the cloud?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Your iphone is shown at the top of the page.
    You can also simply click View>Show Sidebar and it will look about the same as it did before.

  • Can no Longer See Windows Shares

    My network has always connected no problem. Suddenly today I can no longer see the computers on my LAN. These are all windows shares. All I see are two alias' Llbrary and Servers. Mail and internet operates normally both by ethernet and wireless. I've tried everything I can think of. I managed one time to bring up a folder Workgroups but I have lost that too. I think that folder is usually empty though. I was told there was a short power outage which required a reboot of the servers but that is not unusual. Windows client on the network continue to see each other. Any ideas?

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???

  • I can no longer see my pointer and pull down windows pop up on everything!!! HELP

    I can no longer see my pointer and when I go to say "applications" a pop up or pull down menu open up...a tiny noe with words. Before a window with icons would open up and I liked that. Its also happening with the internet. instead of having apointer I see nothing and a pull down menu appears. I can't shoose anything because there is no pointer. What setting is this and how do I change it back? I want a normal pointer where I click on link and they open new links then I can type where I click too.

    dunno....could be a gamble...you might have Simple Finder turned on, or accessibilty (for those with vision problems, etc). I think pressing Command+Shift+F8 (that's fn+f8 key) ought to turn it off. If you're really stuck
    command+Shift+3 or command+Shift+4 will let you take a screenshot of your desktop which you might be able to post here. Also, check your views setting (Command+J key) which will let you display icons and stuff)
    maybe you hit that by accident
    good luck

  • Can no longer see Windows PC in Finder

    Ok, we have 3 macs and (1) PC on a network. We connect to the printer via the PC. Everything has been smooth up to 2 days ago. We can no longer see the PC in finder, in turn we can no longer access the shared printer. We have made no configuration changes. However, Security Update 2007-09 was installed on 1/15. This is the day we could no longer print to the PC. Any ideas or can I uninstall the update. Thanks

  • Can no longer see old or saved messages in iphone mail inbox

    I updated my phones software yesterday upon request and now i can no longer see old or saved messages in my inbox.  I can see the n ew ones when they arrive, and this problem is restricted only to the inbox as i can see messages in the junk and sent folders fine.
    Hope someone can help!

    Try a reset of the device by pressing and holding the home and power button for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

    I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
    But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    So I reinstalled iTunes.
    I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
    I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
    I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
    But according to Mac's website it is...
    Anyone know what's going on?!?!

    I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
    It goes like this:
    1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
    2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
    3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
    I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
    I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
    Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

  • HT1338 After recent update I can no longer see some my friends in my "find my friends" app?

    Since I updated my iPhone 4 I can no longer see some my friends on the "find my friends" app.  I used to be able to follow my husband and son but now it just says "location not available".  It's strange because they can still see me and follow me?

    Regarding device visibility in iTunes try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Once the device shows in iTunes you should be able to access the file sharing area from the apps tab of the device when connected.
    You may find the apps in question are able to transfer files into Dropbox which might provide an alternate transfer mechanism.

  • I can no longer see the account balance on my iTunes gift card.  Why?

    Where can I find the account balance from my iTunes gift card, on my macbook pro, in the iTunes store?

    Thank you responding.  (you're the only response I received).  I did, and was doing, as you suggested.  Before the latest iTunes update, I was able to see my account balance (a whopping $9.98), but can no longer see the amount.  I've tried logging out and back into iTunes to no avail.  Same goes on my iPhone and iPod, and iPad.  The system keeps asking for credit card info, but I'm hesitant to do that.  (That's why we purchase iTunes gift cards, isn't it ?) !
    Anyway, Thank you for your assistance.  Next stop is the local Apple Store and see what the Genus bar can do. !!
