Every time I connect my iPhone, Windows XP pops up a wizard (I think it's called "Microsoft Camera and Scanner Wizard) to retrieve photos - as if it were just a camera. Very annoying! Instructions to stop this were given as:

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Scroll to Scanners and Cameras.
  3. Right-click "Apple iPhone" and left-click "Properties" in the popup box.
  4. Within properties window click on the "Events" tab.
  5. Select "Take no action" under "Actions."

Except when I open control panel/scanners and cameras the iPhone isn't there, only the integrated webcam. The iPhone is plugged in, I've dismissed the pop up asking what the computer wants me to do (which is still driving me crazy!) and refreshed . So the computer is recognizing the iPhone, it's just not appearing in the control panel. Any advice?

If you don't need autoplay, disable that altogether. – Moshe Apr 11 '11 at 6:05
Thanks, I've tried that. It still didn't work. Downloaded Tweak UI and disabled autoplay on all drives. And I still get the popup!! Any other suggestions? – Naomi Apr 15 '11 at 0:48
Not sure, call Apple. – Moshe Apr 15 '11 at 1:47
