Itunes 10.1.2.17 / iphone 3g detection

Hi all,
I am no longer able to see my device (iphone 3g) in itunes. I've gone through various posts and apple support links with no luck.
1) I've removed itunes
2) deleted temp directories
3) reinstalled itunes
4) updated apple mobile device driver (it was already up to date)
5) restarting, etc, etc, etc
I recently upgraded to SP1 of Windows 7 x64 and changed carriers. This iphone (the 3g) has no service with it anymore but i want to continue using it as a ipod for my kids.
Any help is appreciated. windows 7 is recongizing the device and i can pull/import files from the iphone itself. No !bangs listed in device manager either.

Hi Paul.
I tried the first link earlier before posting here. No luck
I just tried the second link (iphone / no plan). Still no luck
I'm going to try another computer to see if it's specific to this client.

I recently updated the itunes software and now my iphone wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

I recently got my iphone unlocked because i wanted to change my carrier. today when i connected my iphone to the itunes it started updating the software! all my previous data was erased and now it wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

In Windows 7, iTunes gives error message "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the phonon then try again.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.

You do not need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.
Look to the right side of this page at "more Like this" or do a forum search.

Iphone Not detected by desktop/itunes/tethering/cameraroll

My iphone is not detected when connected by usb to mac desktop.
I have tried everything in both of the following support pages:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
but i have found a work around. The following solves the problem, until the next reboot.
in terminal..
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/
touch /System/Library/Extensions
... then the desktop/itunes etc. detects the iphone. Once i reboot, however, i have to repair the extension permissions again.
notable point: i can also get the iphone to detect if i remove/reinstall AppleMobileDevice.kext... and repair the permissions.
I've tried repairing the entire disk's permissions... reboot ok, but not detecting iphone... repair permissions on AppleMobileDevice.kext=>detecting, reboot... NOT DETECTING! Also noteworthy... if i do the 'workaround' i can logout and login and the iphone is still detected... only on reboot does it become undetectable again. I have done all the basics... swap cables=>no difference... try other pc/mac=>detectable... completed the troubleshooting on the above support pages.
SO... it's obvious that the permissions on AppleMobileDevice.kext get changed/corrupted upon logout/reboot.
please help!

Disable iTunes from automatically opening when iPhone is connected

Hi, I use a windows xp comp with itunes for windows at work and whenever I just want to charge my iphone, itunes always automatically opens. I've disabled automatic syncing in edit>pref but the iPhone summary screen doesn't allow disabling "automatically open itunes when this iphone is detected" like itunes for my macbook at home has. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's such a pain to have itunes open and load everytime i'm just charging my iphone at work.

Try this:
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Look for "Apple Mobile Device", right-click and "stop", then right-click "properties". Under "Startup type" choose "Disabled".
Do the reverse if you want it to work again.

Iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it

Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

Ok I’m completely lost here....
I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
Checked my internet connection
Changed my internet connection
Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
          Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
          Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
          Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
          Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
          Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
          Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
          Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
Rebooted
Checked the parental controls in iTunes
Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well.

im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

I plug my ipod into my computer itunes pops up with error message "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" suggests I unplug and try again or uninstall itunes and reinstall nothing works. What should i do?

summarizing:
iPod nano (what version iOS BEFORE update?)
downloaded music
updated iPod to iOS 8.1.2
Windows 7 PC
plug-in iPod to PC
error message from iTunes on the PC "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" ⬅[quoted from your original post] (+ suggested troubleshooting steps)
un-plug > re-plug iPod (how many times?)
iTunes un-installed from PC (?)
iTunes RE-installed to PC (?)
error message repeats(?)
searched "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:support.apple.com with ZERO results - pretty strange that the support site wouldn;t know an iTunes generated error message (?) EDIT - had an "aha! moment when using a fresh Google search page and 'suggested' CANNOT
then "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:discussions.apple.com had ONE result = Can't connect to iTunes with ipod touch (-50 error) - NO REPLIES
CANNOT instead of can't [ tsk tsk ]
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
follow all the instructions in order and let us know

How do I get to the itunes screen on a disabled iphone 4

I realize there is a great tutorial page out there and archived, on how to restore a disabled phone.
HOWEVER, it's not working for me so I'm seeking more information, rather than a look over there where your answer has been logged a number of times. (frankly that's just rude by the way)
When I go through the process of unplugging the phone, holding down the home button it did connect to iTunes. The download for the update started and now it won't connect back to iTunes because it requires the passcode.
I have the passcode.
What I don't have, or cannot figure out, is how to get to a screen ON the phone to enter it in.
Slide to unlock takes me to a dial an emergency call dial pad.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks

Then you didn't do it right. You need to force it into recovery mode or DFU mode and restore the phone.
Try it again:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
