IPhone 3GS isn't recognized by ITunes since upgrade to 9.2

I have an old computer running Windows XP Professional with SP2. I have only 384 mg RAM, and speed is only 686 Mhz, but had no problems with ITunes 9.1.1. Since the upgrade to 9.2, ITunes won't recognize my IPhone 3GS. I have followed every suggestion I can find to no avail. Have completely uninstalled ITunes and Re-installed 9.1....still nothing! HELP!

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

IPhone 3GS/iOS4 not recognized in iTunes After Replacing MacBook HD

Several days ago, after experiencing some problems w/ my MacBook, I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store. After some diagnostic tests, it was determined that my hard drive was in the process of dying. A new, replacement hard drive was installed by the very helpful Genius. When I got home, I used Time Machine to restore the contents of my hard drive.
I am running OS10.6.4 on my MacBook, with the latest version (9.2?) of iTunes.
After restoring the contents of my hard drive, Time Machine would not back up my MacBook until i formatted the backup drive, and started backups with Time Machine all over again (so now, only one backup since the hard drive restore).
Now, when connecting my iPhone 3GS running iOS4.0.2, the connection confirmation noise sounds, my iPhone very briefly shows up in the devices list in iTunes, and then disappears. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting my iPhone a few times to see if I could get iTunes to recognize my iPhone. No luck.
At some point after several unsuccessful attempts to get my iPhone to be recognized, I was presented with the message that iTunes could not recognize the iPhone, and I should click the restore button in iTunes. I did this. iTunes wanted to download some software, for the restoration. It looked like this was successful, but then my iPhone vanished from the devices list again. After disconnecting and reconnecting it, and then clicking restore in iTunes, a message that iTunes could not contact the Apple software downloads server. This was erroneous, since I did have a functioning internet connection at the time (I had several tabs open and running in Safari at the time).
Can anyone please help?!

IPhone 3GS is not recognized by iTunes after update 10.1.1

Was updating my iPhone (4.2.1) as well as iTunes 3 days ago.
When I connect the iPhone to the computer and open iTunes it's not recognized.
The computer regognizes the hareware.
Yesterday during the process of syncing the error "cannot sync because there is no connection to the iPhone" popped up.
I hope this is the right catergory... but please help.
I already tried the reinstallation of iTunes.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4 - since updating to iTunes 10.1.1 I my iPhone is not recognised by iTunes. I have reinstalled and done all of Apple's suggestions up to the point of messing with the deep settings in Windows (I'm not confident that I won't mess up other things if I do this). The computer recognises the iPhone but iTunes ignores it. Come on Apple - how about a simple fix that doesn't require a nerdy ability to delve into the depths of software settings!

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.

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

IPod not recognized in iTunes since upgrading/downgrading

Please, can someone help me. My iPod nano is 6 months old and worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 7.0 and then it was no longer recognized by iTunes. Over several weeks of using Apple support pages & forums this is what I've tried:
*Installed iTunes version 7.0.2
*Restarted the iPod Service thru My Computer
*Uninstalled iTunes 7.0.2 & deleted all itunesPrefs & iTunesLibrary files
*Emptied the Temp directory
*Turned off "fast user switching" in windows
*Download iTunes version 6.0.5
*Disabled third party System Services & Start Up Items
*Plugged in iPod & got message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPods software."
*Installed Ipod Updater 2006-06-28, restarted computer & updated the iPod
Still iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I am afraid to use the Updater to restore because it will delete the songs on the iPod & it still might not be recognized in iTunes.
Please, any suggestions? I'm ready to give up.

Something I forgot to add:
Before I downgraded to iTunes 6.0.5, I plugged a relatives iPod into my computer. It showed up in My Computer and also in iTunes.

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.

IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here. I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck. I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks!

In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
So give it a try.
