My iphone 3gs is not showing in itunes

my iphone has suddenly stopped showing as a device in itunes when i plug into pc. my pc recognises the iphone but it doesnt appear in itunes. i have the most up to date version of itunes. i have folloed the recommended steps from apple but they dont work, does any one have a solution?

when all else fails, take it to the apple store. They are very helpful and are fast! My iphone 4 is now acting up. It said it needed to restore to connect, so I restored it. Now it is saying that there is no sim card, ugh. I will be making my way to the apple store very shortly.....

  • 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.
