Well, my IPhone and Vista worked fine a couple days ago but now, Windows doesn't recognize IPhone as a camera, so i can't get my pictures off it as easily.
Hello, Sorry to see your having this issue today. Posted below are some questions.
1. Do you experience this same issue in all USB Ports?
2. Do you experience this same issue in a new user account?
3. If you go to Start - and in the search box type services.msc and press ok or search. A program called services will launch. Do you see a service called Apple Mobile Device? If so is the Status started? stopped? or nothing at all?
4. If you go to Computer, Then access Local Disk C: Then go to Windows and then go to System32 folder. In this folder you should see a folder called drivers. In this folder do you see a driver called usbaapl.sys ?
Also if you could. Right click on Computer, Select properties, then select the option on the left hand side called "Device Manager" on the very bottom of the new window is "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" click on the plus sign. When iPhone is connected. Do you see something called "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" ?
1. I've tried all my ports. Doesn't seem to change anything.
2. I tried activating the guest account and logging on. Nothing different. Asks me to find drivers, i click automatically find and then it goes for 3-4 seconds and says failed.
3.I checked under services and Apply mobile device is started
4.usbaapl.sys exists
5. I do see Apple mobile device USB Driver in device manager.
I tried it on my Laptop which runs on Vista too and it works there. So i tried copying the USBAAPL.sys to my desktop and then connected the iphone and same issue.
Sorry to drop in on this thread, but I have Windows Vista issue that is similar. My iPhone does not show up in Vista on my desktop machine but does in my Vista laptop. I tried searching for the file USBAAPL.sys on both machines and it is not on either machine. I'm at a loss. No issues in the device manager on either machine.
First connect open iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer then follow the steps below
1. Hold down the Windows Key and press R.
2. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
3. Right-click Apple Mobile Device listed under Other Devices and then select Properties.
4. Select Browse…
5. Point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\drivers and click OK.
6. Disconnect your iPhone close iTunes then reconnect your iPhone and try again
The install should finish and your iPhone should now be all good.
If this does not work
Quit iTunes if it is open
From the Start menu select the Control panel
In Windows XP, choose Add or Remove Programs, then click Remove. Also remove any other items with the word “iTunes” in their names. Also remove any iPod-related entries.
Restart your PC.
Delete the iTunes program itself, if it still exists after the steps you’ve already taken (by default it’s located in the “Program Files” folder)
Again restart your PC.
Download the latest version of iTunes for Windows and install it.
Ok I was having the same problem. I also noticed that I had a *RED X* on my Network Connection Icon.
This is what I did to fix the problem:
Go to Accessories, right click on Command Screen, run as administrator and enter:
net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Local Service" /add
edit: spacing may not be clear in that font - it is:
net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Local Service" /add
Then I rebooted My System and Bam it worked no more Red X and The Iphone drive popped up and started working…
