Running Vista SP2 on a 64 bit machine means that iTunes is a little out of sync these days. The latest version you can run is 12.1.3.6...and it's (more or less) running just fine.
Problem is that the driver it installs for the iPhone does not appear to be fully visible to Vista, so it never initiates the "auto-play" routines when plugged in, so you can never download photos the normal way.
I've done full uninstall/reinstall of all things Apple. I've removed all non-present drivers. Even so, when I look in the Device Manager there's no Apple iPhone under the Portable Devices category, and the iPhone does not appear anywhere in Explorer.
iTunes is running & synching just fine. But grabbing photos from the phone's camera just doesn't seem to be available.
Are others having this problem? Is there a way for me to force the iPhone to get installed (visibly) in the Portable Devices area??
