Another tips for Apple iPhone not Recognize by PC

If your iPhone is not recognize in iTunes, you could try the followings:

  1. Reinstall itunes 7.5 as the “ituneshelper.exe”.
  2. Check device manager to see if it just shows as “iphone” with an exclamation mark, so uninstall device.
  3. Re boot the computer, open iTunes and then dock the phone and Vista should re-install a fresh driver.

If your PC recognize your iPhone as camera device, the next time you see this message just select the “select auto play defaults in control panel” when the control panel comes up it will give a bunch of different options for cds, dvd, cameras, etc…for pictures, select “take no action” and this will not happen in the future.

Hope this simple tips can help.
