IPhone 4 not showing up in 'My Computer'?

I wanted to transfer all of my pictures from my iPhone to my computer. I plugged it in and it started charging and syncing with iTunes. (iTunes was closed.) I went to go take all of my pictures off of my phone and my iPhone wasn't showing up under My Computer, so I tried unplugging it and replugging it in. Again, it began charging and synced to iTunes, which was open this time. It failed to sync to my computer, though. I tried it on my sister's laptop and it synced and it gave me the option to upload pictures to her computer. I tried my own computer once more, and it began charging and syncing with iTunes again, but still wouldn't show up in My Computer. I don't know why it's not working. I don't think that it's my computer because any other camera shows up perfectly fine and I can upload the pictures to my computer. Any help?

This method has worked for many people with the same issue. Go into your photos in your iPhone, and delete any and all pictures that were NOT taken with the iPhone camera. For example, if you have pictures in your album saved from emails, delete them, and plug it back in, and see if that resolves it.

  • Why factory unlocked iphone 4s is showing that the iphone is not activated? I bought factory unlocked iphone 4s on ebay for my sister-in-law who is in europe. And the seller assured that it is factory unlocked and will work perfectly. I have non activated sprint sim card and when i inserted it in to the iphone it showed that "the iphone is not activated.contact the carrier". What does it mean? Does it mean that the phone is not factory unlocked?
  • No pictures showing on Facebook on computer but they are there on my iphone? Past couple of days, no pictures (ids, posts, anything) are showing when I log onto F/B. BUT they are there when I use my iPhone. I've tried to ask on their forum but I can't even get that to work. Is this a sign From Above? To quit F/B and get a life? but what if I'm quite happy with the life I have (more or less)? anyway back to F/B, anybody else having that problem?

  • My DCIM files are not showing on my computer? Ok I use to have an android and switched to an iPhone. I put all my pictures on my sim card on the DCIM file. I no longer have the android so the sim card was my only backup. I plugged the sim card into my computer and the DCIM file is empty. How can I get those files back? Do i need to plug it into an old phone? Or can I not get these anymore? Please help. I have tons of memories in my pictures and really want to see them.
