Hi gofroggy08,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly.   Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
I hope this information helps ....

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

  • My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3.  Is this fixable?

    My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3.   I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning.   Any ideas?   Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

    Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

  • Iphone 3GS no longer connects to computer or Itunes.

    I have a decomissioned Iphone 3GS that I've been using as an Itouch (I don't use the phone features). Up until today it would connect to my computer and Itunes with no problems. When I had to uninstall a bunch of stuff and reinstall the new Itunes (the update is what screwed everything up) since I had a C++ runtime error R6034. Now I finally have Itunes again however my Iphone no longer wants to connect to my computer or Itunes. There is no beep from the USB no syncing, nada. The only thing it does is charge...which is only sort of helpful. I've tried two different cables, restarted my computer, restarted my Iphone. I just want it to connect so I can get my new music. Does anyone have any suggestions. Preferable if I didn't have to restore my Iphone.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer syncs with Itunes

    Hi there, i have:
    MacBook: 10.4.11
    ITunes: 9.2.1
    iPhone: 3GS (4.0.1)
    Earlier today I successfully synced my iphone to itunes. All fine there. However, I noticed that there was a message saying a software update, 4.2 was available for my iPhone. Clicked on the update button in iTunes but a message saying 'this version of itunes (9.2.1) is the current version' appeared. Didn't make sense as was in the iPhone update screen on iTunes. Tried again to update and got the same message.
    Anyways, thought best to reboot my mac & iphone and try again with the software update. This time though, iTunes doesn't even register that my iPhone is connected to it. I get nothing, doesn't come up as a device and iphone battery is not being charged by the mac. Again have rebooted and still the same.
    Checked for software update of iTunes and it says i'm running the latest version, 9.2.1. FYI, have checked the USB ports / cables and they are all working.
    Have no idea what's going on! Any ideas? Cheers.

    OK, solved - I think. A friend lent me an OS X 10.5 disk which sorted everything on the G5 Power PC iMac. BUT:-
    1. Still no solution for G4 iBook which will simply choke running Leopard
    2. Thank you (ironic here) Apple for removing syncing with 10.4.11 without saying anything. How are you supposed to load new iPhone firmware without syncing???
    3. OS X 10.5 isn't available on the Apple site - it needs to be, and probably free
    I'm also really disappointed how little attention has been paid by Apple Support to this discussion. I thought they kept looking at these.

  • IPhone 3Gs no longer connects to my Blue Tooth hands free cars

    Within the last week, there appears to be a software update to my iPhone 3Gs. Since that time, my phone can no longer be paired with the hands free blue tooth options in both of my vehicles. The first vehicle is a 2010 Lincoln MKX with Sync and my other vehicle is a 2010 Volvo C30. Have other people experienced this? I have updated the connection between the phone and both vehicles. If I cannot get this fixed it looks like my iPhone is useless as a phone with blue tooth.

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on "connect to itunes" screen

    I've just reset my old iPhone 3GS so that I can use it as a PAYG phone for my dad. It cleared everything down ok and set itself up as a new clean iPhone install with the PAYG sim card and worked fine.  In iTunes I logged in to an account I set up for him and all was good - it found the phone, recognised it as my old one and gave me the option to set it up as a new one which I did, again all fine. 
    Then I went to update the iOS to the latest version, but after it tried to to install it there was an error and the iPhone is now stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen. However, neither iTunes nor my PC will recognise the phone for me to restore it or do anything else with it.  I've tried the holding down the home button whilst connecting it to USB idea but no luck.
    Any tips?

    Sorry, I can't remember what the error was, I don't remember there being an error number. It was along the lines that iTunes had been unable to update the OS. I only noticed that the iphone had frozen after clicking OK.
    The phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen. Even trying the restore options above, I don't get a red swipe and trying the alternatives still doesn't help. I've rebooted my computer and you can hear the USB recognising it's got a new item plugged in, but iTunes still won't find it.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck on connect to Itunes screen. HELP

    Hello. Okay well I just bought an Iphone 3gs from a woman on Craig's list. She told me the phone was working perfectly fine. And when I tested it out, it was.
    HERE'S THE PROBLEM
    I got the phone home and while looking through it to make sure it was totally empty it shut off and now will not turn back on. The only screen it goes to it the connect to Itunes screen. I have tried to restore the phone many many times. I get error 28, 29, or 2009 every single time. I have read at least 50 post and other people's fixes for this and nothing has worked. My question is does anyone know if there is a way to get this phone to work again or should I sell it on Ebay for parts? Any thoughts would be very appreciated. Thanks.

    Try recovery mode >  iOS: Unable to update or restore

    That doesn't give us much to go on since we have no way of knowing what you have tried that didn't work.

  • Iphone 3gs won't connect to itunes

    I've tried everything, but my iphone won't connect to itunes. Does anyone have some advice? I'm desperate right now.

    If you computer recognizes your iPhone but iTunes doesnt try uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. If your computer doesnt recognize your iPhone try a different cable and different USB ports, if it still doesnt connect try connecting your 3GS to another computer. If it connects to another computer fine then their is something wrong with the usb ports on your computer.

  • 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.
