IPhone 3GS not connecting with iTunes 10.1.1.4

Hey all,
I'm having a rather peculiar problem. Recently I had to do a factory restore of my HP Pavilion dv6, and I proceeded to download the latest version of iTunes. Whenever I try to sync my iPhone 3GS, it doesn't show up. Yes, I've tried everything. Reinstalling, resetting, restarting, msconfig settings and whatnot, and nothing works. It appears in Windows 7 just fine, with the autoplay box popping up every time I connect it and Windows Explorer noting it down as a digital camera. iTunes will not read the device.
Every time iTunes connects, however, a message box appears saying that it cannot burn CD/DVDs due to the fact that the registry settings used by iTunes for doing so is missing, and caused by a possibility of other CD/DVD burners already installed.
So I removed all the preinstalled junk that HP threw on my comp, and there are no CD/DVD burners on my computer now. Yet the dialog box is still the same.
So are the two related? Are these registry settings that I'm missing preventing me from syncing my iPhone? And if so, how do I fix it? I'm very tech-savvy so complicated instructions will not be a problem (hopefully!). Cheers.

bump

  • Software update causes iPhone to not connect with iTunes

    I did a software update this morning. The three updates were: "iDVD Update", 'Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update", and "Safari". After that my two iPhones (one is my wife's) can not connect to iTunes, nor iPhoto. I switched cables and the connection port with no success. Had to be the updates as there is nothing else different that I did. And yes, I restarted both the computer and iPhones, several times. Need help!

    I had the same problem. My update was the new itunes along with your listed updates and my iphone takes over 3 hours to sync if it actually syncs at all. I get the spinning color wheel and can't use the rest of my computer. iPhone 3G, macBook Pro with all the available updates. Please help.

    Hello charheart,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

    You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
    You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or take the phone into an Authorized Apple Service provider.

    YOu'll have to restore, nothing else you can do.
    If you have an older backup you can restore to that.

    "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.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Iphone will not synch with itunes after downloading most recent itunes version

    I updated to most recent version of itunes and since then my 3GS iphone will not synch with itunes. the phone is recognized by my windows computer but not recognized within itunes. I redownloaded itunes and Q but nothing.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Dell XPS 8500 with a 64bit i5 Processor and an Apple 4s and I have the same problem.  I have been searching for days and can only get the phone recoginzed by disabling power to USB ports and there is no way I can get ITunes to show devices, so I can't see the IPhone.  People say Apple monitors these sites but I haven't seen any response from a technical person. Have you?  My hunch is they know about the problem but don't have a fix, and have other priorities for their team. If my hunch is correct, its quite extraordinay because I am close to selling my 4s and getting some phone which is easier to work with. Time is my scarcest resource and I have devoted way too much of it to this issue.
