Iphone not showing up in itunes & not connecting to computer

Rite...
When i plug my iphone into my computer (WinXP, SP2) via the dock and straight from the USB cable, it does not show up in iTunes, Windows does not recognise it as a USB device and the camera pop doesnt show up. Basically Windows isn't recognising it at all.
I've tried:
restarting my computer.
reinstalling itunes.
creating a new account on my pc, installing itunes and seeing if it connects; it did and worked fine, i logged out and and back onto my own profile, my iphone showed up and synched fine. I then restarted and the same problem occurred.
I've tried it in all my USB ports, and none want to read it. I have also tried other USB devices, which also don't want to be recognised. This wasn't the case a couple of days ago.
Also my iphone docked and synched fine after the upgrade both to itunes and the iphone.
Anyone else having this problem? I think it's a general USB problem with my PC, anyone have any ideas.
Argh it's annoying!!

I tried this:
"The problem seems to be that the install process treats everything PC like a Vista machine. If you go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE you'll find an oddly named directory inside it like usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B.
Go into it. You'll find USBAAPL.CAT, usbaapl.inf and usbaapl.sys.
What I did was right click on the .inf file and pick install (don't know for sure if it needed that, but I'm not going to omit any steps just in case).
Open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and copy the usbaapl.sys file there.
Open up C:\WINDOWS\inf and copy usbaapl.inf there.
Again I right clicked on the .inf file copy in the C:\WINDOWS\inf directory and hit install. It then created the corresponding usbaapl.PNF in that directory.
I unplugged the pod from the usb port, rebooted the system, plugged the pod in again and voila, there it was. It found it and installed correctly"
Which didn't work.
- My iphone appears in the Services under 'Apple Mobile Device Service'
- I can't verify the iphones driver because nothing is showing up in device drivers/managment
-I have USB 2.0

Original ipod not showing up in itunes when connected to computer

My original ipod has worked fine until a few months ago. I connected it to my 10.4.7 Mac and it won't recognize that it's hooked to the computer. The ipod screen just says "OK to disconnect". I downloaded the new itunes but that didn't do anything, and I'll try the 5 R's, but any ideas if that doesn't work? It's not full, so I don't know what's wrong with it.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

Hey Ray1992,
I understand that your iPhone is not seen on your computer using Windows 7. Take a look at the article below to walk you through multiple troubleshooting options to get it working. Start with making sure that your iPhone trusts the computer and work your way down the article to get it to show back up.

My iPhone and iPod do not show up on iTunes when connected to my mac.

My iPhone 4 will NOT show up on iTunes, not even by putting it into recovery mode. Can anyone help me fix this problem? I would like to use iTunes with it.

I got an iPhone 4 on Thursday.
I connected it to my PC, a Windows Vista, that day and nothing showed up besides a "camera."
My computer picked it up as a camera, which I understand is a common occurence in the iPhone.
After browsing countless youtube videos and Apple Forum Questions, nothing helped.
I put it into recovery mode by holding on the power and menu button, but when I opened iTunes it still didn't detect anything.
I feel like I'm almost hurting my iPhone because I turned it off and on so many times, and plugged it in and out several times, and so forth.
Here is what happened after putting it into recovery mode: 1. A Windows "device locator" popped up. 2. It was looking for a solution to help me with the unknown device, or iPhone. 3. I clicked onto the find solution button, and it told me that I needed a disc.
--- I didn't have a disc, so I looked up this problem and it told me to manually find Apple mobile device support on my driver, so I did.---
4. I then went onto Control Panel and clicked on SYSTEM and MAINTENANCE and went to DEVICE MANAGER.
5. There I found my iPhone listed under USB controllers.
6. I uninstalled and installed it several times.
7. I then manually found a program to ease the problem. The program was "apple mobile device support," which was located on my apple driver.
8. Nothing happened, besides it reporting to me that Apple USB was found and that "code 39" or "code 1" was in the way.
9. I didn't know what to do with this....
By this time, I was about to give up on my iPhone and return it back to the store.
I tried again, but in a different way this time.
1. I put it back into recovery mode and I opened itunes.
2. itunes reported to me that some burning or CD/Drive software was missing and that I needed to reinstall it.
3. SO, I reinstalled it several times, about 12 (iTunes), and nothing changed.
4. I then looked up the problem of why the CD/Drive software problem kept popping up.
5. I fixed it by going to my registry and adding an UpperFilter with the code GEARaspi...something like that.
6. The problem was fixed, but still no iPhone onto my itunes.
I stayed up all night last night to fix this problem...I'm annoyed and tired.
I tried another problem to fix this.
1. I didn't put it into recovery mode.
2. My iPhone showed up under portable devices under "device manager," from SYS/MAIN"
3. I did update software.
4. I clicked on "apple mobile device support" but nothing happened.
5. It reported to me of the Code thing again.
I even called the Apple people and they didn't know what to do, so I stopped calling them...because they only had limited options to fix the problem.
Can anyone help me?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Ipod not showing up in itunes when connected

I get a message that says the device has been detected but can't be identified and to reinstall itunes. I did that and it is still not showing up. I have reset it and tried most suggestions that I have found. Short of going to the Apple store, is there any other way to get it to show up.
Thanks

Did you try the suggestions in this Apple support document?

My 6th gen Ipod nano does not show up in Itunes or in My Computer

I do not think that this is a problem with my computer because I own an older 5th gen nano and have never had problems with it before. Both my computer and Itunes has no problem seeing the older Ipod right now. I have followed the troubleshooting guides and I'm still stumped on why my new Ipod won't appear. I've read several disscussions and haven't found the fix yet. My newer Ipod has been connected to another computer before but I don't know whether it was a Mac or a PC, and I believe that is the problem. I was thinking maybe it would help if I completely reset my Ipod, I don't mind losing any music, but I have no idea how to if I can't connect it to my computer. Please tell me how to reset it to facory settings or if you think that something else will work I'm completely willing to try that too. Thank you.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

See in the sidebar to the right there is a 'Search Discussions' bar. I typed in 'iPod doesn't appear in iTunes' and 500 results came up. On the first page alone there were several answered questions very similar to yours, so I presume there will be quite a lot of relevant advice for you amongst those results.

80 GB Ipod Classic does not show up in itunes or Win Vista Machine

Hi, I recently updated my itunes software with ver.8 and since then my 80 GB Classic ipod does not show up in itunes or in my computer. Hence, I am not able to sync my itunes. When I connect my ipod it just shows "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" and just freezes there. Pls help?

Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
Nick.
