Iphone 3g not recognized by itunes but recognized by pc as camera? HELP!

I have been through the help pages, checked that i have the most upto date itunes.
I went through the Verify iPhone Driver/Service Installation page. When i open the DEVICES page i scroll down to the USB lists and there is no iphone or apple mobile device listed. I look under Imaging devices and there it is Apple mobile device.
I have tried rebooting my pc rebooting the iphone tried differnt usb ports and unplugging every other usb device. Yet when i plug in my iphone in the bottom right hand screen corner a bubble appears which says "digital still camera". Then asks me which program i'd like to open to view my pictures! If i leave it attached it charges the iphone but does nothing else.
My husband can connect his iphone not 3g to the computer and it syncs no problems.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Attach your iPhone to your PC.
Open up My Computer and locate the iPhone on the list of drives. It might call it a camera or imaging device.
Right-click on the iPhone in the drive list and select "Properties."
On the "Events" tab, select "Take No Action." Make sure that nothing else on that tab is selected.
Click on "OK."
That should stop it from asking what program you want to edit your pictures with.

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

My iphone will not show in itunes but does in my computer, I have tried everything on the support site that it says it is also the same for my ipad, any ideas i am at my wits end

I have tried everything re-installing itunes, changing leads, checking device manager and drivers, my computer recognises the iphone and does import photos, but no music.
I am getting really frustrated with this issue.

Have you done all that?

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

HT1386 After the recent iTunes my PC recognizes that I have connected my iPhone, but iTunes does not. I tried the trouble shooter; it said device not recognized. I clicked the help button as instructed and get iPod not recognized instructions. What for iP

I have not been able to sync my iPhone 5s on my PC sincethe most recent update to iTunes. My computer showsthe iPhone as connected, but iTunes does not recognize it. I tried the trouble shooter and got device not recognized. I clicked the help button beside the failed test and get iPod instructions. How do I get iPod instructions for work for an iPhone? Better, how can I get this to show iPhone instructions? (On my other computer, I had to uninstall every Apple product to get the new iTunes to work.)

IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

Hello all,
I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
Thanks
Gina

Iphone 3G not recognized in Windows XP or seen in iTunes

I recently updated my itunes to iTunes 10. When I plug in my iphone 3g to the usb port, all that happens is that Windows recognizes and installs a camera device. The iphone is not being seen. iTunes also does not recognize the iphone under devises. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes per the recommendations on the apple support website. To no avail. In the devices section in Windows, the iphone is not showing up. I have tried several usb ports on the computer and none of them show the iphone. When I took the phone to work and plugged it into the computer at work, Windows XP immediately recognized it and so did iTunes. At work, the iTunes is iTunes 9.
I'm not sure what do to. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If I had to take a wild guess it would be that you have a problem with the USB bus on your computer. Since you tried connecting the phone to another computer and it worked that would rule out the problem being on your computer. The only other idea I have is that if you didn't use the same dock cable on both computers that it could be the cable, but I would assume that you used the same cable both times. I would recommend checking to see if any other USB peripherals have problems connecting to your computer as well.
