IPhone 3G isn't recognized by iTunes

Please help. My wife's 3G connects to iTunes but my 3G won't. This makes me think the issue is with my phone. I've re-installed iTunes and updated drivers and reset the phone. I've tried all of this prior to testing the other phone and the mini I use in my car.
I'm at my wit's end. Please help.
I am using a PC with windows XP, if it matters.
Thanks

  • My iPhone 4S isn't recognized by iTunes after most recent update to iTunes.

    So after updating to the most recent version of iTunes, my iPhone 4s will not sync with iTunes.  Before the update, no problem whatsoever.  It is recognized by my IOS (Windows 7) and I can see it on my control panel but how do I get it to sync?
    Thanks!

    The new iTunes *****! It wasnt able to backup my data too and after restoring I had to Restore with my a month old Backup(Contacts were intact in that). For your problem, Goto Edit>Preferences>Devices, click "Reset Sync Data", Close iTunes and reopen. This might work and if this doesn't than Restart Your PC and Hard reset your iPhone by Pressing Home and Sleep button together(This will just restart your iPhone and won't restore anything) than Sync, else a new update or magic will help you out(if you don't plan to restore your iPhone.

  • My iPhone 4 isn't recognized by iTunes, but my iPod classic is.  How do I resolve this?

    I was able to sync my iPod classic to iTunes no problem.  I have not updated my phone in a very long time untilo yesterday.  I also have not synced/backed it up since March.
    I followed the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    iTunes is update, I uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times today.
    My phone has the newest iOS on it.
    My USB cable and port are fine, as I just synced my iPod on it.
    My phone charges, the bottom port is fine.
    I've restated my phone numerous times.
    I have tried the MSCONFIG onstructions.
    I am unable to use another computer for this.  I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way.  So, it's recognized by my computer.  However, iTunes won't reconize it to sync.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Lawrence,
    I do have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running.
    My USBs are plugging in straight into the laptop.  All 4 work.  Just today, I synced my iPod with multiple USB ports.  It works for the iPod, but the iPhone won't pop-up.  The iPhone does not appear in iTunes as a button anywhere.
    I am unable to use another computer for this.  I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way.  So, it's recognized by my computer.
    This should have been seperated.  Basically, I don't have another computer accessible to me to back-up sync on iTunes with.
    The last part means in iTunes, I can click "File > Add file to library" and the iPhone is shown as a camera icon.  I can click on it and have access to photos.  I can add those photos to the iTunes library.  That's about as far as the connectivity goes with the iPhone right now.

    Hi, I have an iPhone 1 that is blocked (because of wrong passwords) and isn't recognized by iTunes. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help!
    By the way I'm using a MacMini and all operating systems are up to date including iTunes.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
