My auto-play stopped working. When I plug in my iphone to my computer now, it only opens itunes, not the auto-play anymore.

Question: My auto-play stopped working. When I plug in my iphone to my computer now, it only opens itunes, not the auto-play anymore. How do i fix that please?

Answer: Autoplay is configured in your Windows Control Panel, which you can access by clicking the Start button, and clicking “Control Panel” on the right side of the applications menu.

You’ll see an Autoplay icon, which will open the settings for how your computer should handle things like mobile devices connecting to your computer, or CDs getting inserted into your CD drive.

In the Autoplay settings screen, scroll all the way down to the bottom where you’ll see options for how to handle iPhones.

Choose the option to “Ask me every time”, save your changes, and then try unplugging and plugging your iPhone back in again.

This time you should get the autoplay screen, asking you if you want to import pictures, etc.

    autoplay not working with iphone still
    Your page about “How to Fix Autoplay for your iPhone” was exactly was I was looking for… however, my problem is that even after I followed these instructions, my pc still isnt auto detecting my iphone in Vista and uploading the pictures like it used to. How can I restore this function in Vista? I had to do a system restore about a week ago to fix a problem that was caused when I attempted to load a new printer. Nothing has been right since. Thanks for your help.

      Hi, I had the same problem
      Hi, I had the same problem with my Iphone and this was how I have fixed it. Connect it and once connected go to “hardware and sound” in the conrol panel, “devices and printers” where you should see it listed with an ! mark by it. Right click on it and then click “troubleshoot”, then the computer should run a diagnostic then reinstall the driver for it. Worked first time for me so good luck.

        No AutoPlay with iPhone
        Thanks Keith! Just came across your recommendation with my iPhone 4 on my Sony Pc, Win7Pro. Autoplay suddenly appeared & repaired itself in 30 seconds (after a week of fruitless attempts with other methods).

      Auto play
      I also have had the problem where autoplay will not start with my iphone and have spent hours searching for an answer, then i was told what to do to solve it and it worked straight away.
      connect your iphone to your computer, then go to computer and the iphone should show itself at the left hand side listed under computer. right click on the iphone icon and listed there will be import pictures and videos, click this to get the prompt box back on screen, and your tag and import, job done worked a treat!

    Similar issues
    I was looking for this information. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite solve the problem. My Vista PC isn’t auto-detecting my iPhone, yet iTunes is picking it up no problem. The iPhone doesn’t appear in My Computer either. I have tried your suggestion above, but I don’t see my iPhone on the list of devices in the AutoPlay settings (my iPod is there). I have restarted the Apple driver. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    • William

      Same issue
      Yeah, Vista on my laptop is doing the same thing. iPhone is not listed in Devices in Control Pannel. However, that just made me thing that maybe the driver is not installed. Okay, just looked in Device manager, all I see is Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I am going to scan for hardware

      Nope, and cannot manually add driver either. However, as previously stated by others, iTunes can see it just fine. I tend to remember with my old iPod, iTunes having an option to set it as a removable drive, but I don’t see this option any more. I am fed up. About the only option I see is to e-mail the pics to myself, or go to another computer.

What happened? It’s happening on my Vista laptop and on my XP desktop. I haven’t connected to my Mac G5 yet because I need to unlug some other USB first. It’s hard to tell who screwed it up, Apple with an update or Microsoft with a fix.

    Also, apple just sent out a new update – I decided the issue is they changed something to make it impossible for ppl to put things on their phones from their computers- not realizing that now I can’t go into my iphone on my computer and simply COPY the photos I want to download- my solution for now is to email myself each pic one at a (painful) time.

    Thoughts?

    I was able to fix this problem by using WinSCP to manually transfer the photos off of the iPhone.. once they were all gone from my iPhone, the Autoplay feature started working again as normal on my PC. The folder the photos are stored in is /var/mobile/media/DCIM/100APPLE Hope this helps!

  16. Alastair

    Thanks!
    Your article solved my problem, somewhat indirectly. I couldn’t import pictures from my iPhone because every picture gave a “Device not ready” error. After checking out the Control Panel options as described in the article, I also clicked “Options” in the Import Dialog. It turns out this lets you specify where the photos will be imported to. My iPhone was fine–the device that wasn’t ready was my USB hard drive, which had moved itself to a different drive letter. Thanks, also, for showing me how to stop iTunes from running when I insert an audio CD.

    Same issue — iPhone not showing up in vista
    Its not showing up under my computer. Normally if there are no new pics, autoplay does not launch anything, but I do have new pics, and its not showing.

    I uninstalled all APPLE apps. including Itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, etc.

    I showed all items in the USB area — just clicking show all didn’t show all… I had to change this value to 1:

    System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager
    Environment]
    Value Name: DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
    Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
    Value Data: (1 = show all hidden devices)

    ——————————–
    I clicked reset all defaults in the autoplay control panel. Interesting to note that after uninstalling everything “Apple iPhone” and the name I call my iPhone both still appear in the autoplay control panel.
    ——————————–
    As will all the other responces, iTunes does recognise and sync with the phone.

      I phone not recognized
      I had the same problem and found the fix. It was the i phone driver that needs deleting and re installing.

      to do that go to control panel, hardware and sounds, device manager, portable devices. then click on i phone with the right mouse button. You may need the i phone connect to see this device, i’m not sure. Then select uninstall. once this has been done you can disconnect your i phone and plug it back in. the auto upload will now work. At least that worked for me.

      Hope this helps

      Figured it out! I had read somewhere that if you delete photos from the camera roll that were not taken by the iPhone, Windows would again recognize the iphone as a camera and give the option to transfer photos. It worked! I have a new computer running Windows 7 and Itunes 9. Itunes would see my iPhone but windows would not show it and couldnt load a driver. Took out the photos that people had emailed me or messaged me, and whala! Just transfered all my pics and videos to my computer without booting up iTunes.

      Man, I was stressing it. Hope this helps all. Its not a number thing. I only had 110 pics. Its the foreign photos that you save on your iPhone that cause Windows to not see you the phone. At least that seemed to be my problem.

      Good luck all,

    I was able to solve AutoPlay issue. My PC was not detecting iphone when I plug it in to computer though itune was able to. So I did two things to resolve it, worked for me, try, may work for you as well.

    1) unplug iphone
    2) go to setting -> general -> reset -> Reset All Settings.
    3) go to setting -> general -> reset -> Reset Network Settings.
    4) Plug iphone to PC and it should show Autoplay screen.

I read that if you havea password on the phone, unlock it. Then plug it in and autoplay will pick up the device. And after trying every fix on this page, I finally got the solution! SO…unlock your phone, then plug it in. Autoplay opens! YAY! Happy to get my pics whenever I want again!

    auto play for iphone
    I too had the same problem with no longer being asked if I wanted to import pictures using auto play.
    I tried several suggestions. But here’s what I needed to do to fix it. Hope it fixes your problem too.
    Go to Control Panel. Click Device Manager. Click Portable Devices. Under that click Apple iPhone. Under Driver tab click Update Driver. That fixed my problem, thank God, I was starting to get really irritated!

    I have the opposite problem
    I have the opposite problem to everyone else. When I plug both my ipod touch and iphone in autoplay comes up. itunes opens (takes a really long time) but neither device shows (i.e. itunes doesn’t recognise there is a device plugged in).
    I have the latest version of itunes and didn’t have any problems before this. I have uninstalled/installed, deleted, reinstalled, tried a zillion things on the web suggesting what to do and I still can’t get itunes to recognise my devices, but my computer sees them no problem.
    Please help, I want to sync them!

    I have tried all of the
    I have tried all of the above solutions but autoplay still will NOT pop up when I plug in my iPhone 4. I have Vista… iTunes is recognizing and syncing my iPhone just fine. Like I said, I have tried everything mentioned and also some other things on other forums as well.
    The weird thing is, under my Autoplay tab in Control Panel there are NO devices listed, not my phone, our camera, nothing. The iPhone is listed under the Scanners and Camera tab but I can’t do anything with it in there.

    ANY help would be appreciated! This is driving me crazy!

    See the iPOD on PC
    Windows will not “see” the iPod device until you create at least one file (photo or video) in the DCIM folder.

    Take a pic and Windows will recognize the hardware and you should be all set.

    Okay, everything on this
    Okay, everything on this page was NOT necessary and didn’t work for me. Finally I took matters into my own hands and found a solution.
    On your iPhone:
    – GO TO SETTINGS
    – GO TO GENERAL
    – GO TO RESET
    – GO TO RESET NETWORK SETTINGS (MAKE SURE YOU ONLY RESET NETWORK SETTINGS!!)
    – Your phone will re-boot and autoplay should come up when your iPhone returns to the main screen.
    HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU!! I FELT YOUR PAIN!

    I have solved this issue
    All you have to do is connect you iPhone and go to photos and choose a folder that contain 1 photo sync and it’s going to be transferred to you iPhone … disconnect your iPhone after this process and reconnect again >> your auto play will work . then you can transfer the rest of your photos from your pc to ur iphone again….

    i hope that help you !

    cable management
    it is usually necessary to keep a power cable wire apart from a data cable. Some cables have specific minimum bend radius as well.
