Apple iPhone 4s is not showing up in AutoPlay

Hi Experts,

When I connect my Apple iPhone 4s into Windows 7, Windows is able to recognize it in "My Computer".

When I go into "Control Panel"-->"Hardware and Sound"-->"AutoPlay", when I scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, under "Devices", Windows doesn't recognize my Apple iPhone 4s.

1) I tried a different USB port,
2) I refreshed the "AutoPlay" page,
3) I unplugged and plugged back into same USB port and also tried a different port,
4) I tried a different Windows 7 machine altogether and the "AutoPlay" function WORKS,

Thanks,

Change the AutoPlay > Pictures setting. Because that is what the iPhone contains.

In "AutoPlay", "Pictures" is set to "Ask me every time".

Do you have iTunes installed?

Yes.

Is it subject to a group policy disabling AutoPlay?

It's a single user PC, Administrative privilege, I noticed as well, when I plug in the iPhone into the USB port iTunes never opens automatically, even after I went into Preferences and told it to.

Last night I restored a backup image of my PC at a working state, and once restored, the AutoPlay and everything works perfect now.

Yes, it may have been a corrupt Windows profile.

I will have try to think of creating a new test user, for next time.

Thanks everyone!
