I'm in the same situation with my iPhone 3G for the past few months.

Everything syncs fine, but no camera wizard or anything else in "my computer". I tried hooking it up to another PC and like you, it shows up in iTunes (to sync) but nothing for my camera pics. I would really like to get those out before iOS-4 gets released monday and damn sure before I get my iPhone 4 (sometime after launch)

Two notes on mine.

1) A short time before this problem cropped up, I installed a camcorder app via iTunes. It sucked, so I deleted it soon afterwards, and still my camera connection has not returned.

2) I've since set it up (via iTunes) to sync with a folder of pictures on my PC. The pics from my PC are there on my phone, but is there supposed to be something in that synced folder on my PC from my iPhone?

The iPhone is obviously female.

Since it doesn’t work on 4 different PC’s, I’m thinking it is either the USB cable or the USB port you are using. Try a different cable and only use a USB port off the motherboard.

ok so i did some research and found this....

go into device manager ( start -> control panel -> device manager) and uninstall the apple iphone driver ( not the apple mobile device usb driver ) under the portable devices and plug your phone back in it should reinstall the driver automatically and bring autoplay dialog box up

this fixed it for me

i havent been able to try this yet my computer likes to shut itself down and freeze whenever it pleases, someone care to test this out?

ok so i was able to try and test this finding to no avail, i saw no "apple iphone driver" in the list of drivers installed under the Device Manager.

I've completely uninstalled everything apple related as described in an apple support article, and reinstalled. I've tried manualy downloading the apple mobile device driver myself with no change.

I've tried stopping the drivers process and starting it again to no avail, i am trying one thing provided by a microsoft tech page i will update on my findings and the outcome of this process. shoulod it work ill provide a detailed "how to" on how i did it.

who likes to feel stupid???? i know i do cause this forum member responded to my inquirery in a post i had made similar to this one last week or so and this is his response which worked for me as well.

have you saved any pictures from the web or email? if so delete them one at a time or find another way to save them.after they are off you phone it should work! i had the same problem tried a ton of different things and this is the only thing that worked!!!

follow this and it will show up trust me.

i now can see the "Apple iphone" in device manager

so lets all just take a moment and realize how dumb we are

enjoy!!! thanks again to themtigers!!!!
