Why won't my computer recognize my iphone 5?

I have an iphone 5 that in the past has had no trouble connecting to my windows computer. Recentlly though, it is syncing my pictures and music just fine though wifi, but when I try to plug it in through the USB port, my computer nor itunes recognizes my iphone. When I pull up the computer folder, all I see is "icloud photos" system folder, where my iphone should be.
Things I have tried:
1. I am running version 11 of itunes, and no updates are required.
2. Turning my iphone on and off
3. Restarting my comptuer
4. Restarting itunes
5. Turning off and on the Apple Mobile service and also making sure it is set to starting automatically
I have not uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but that will be next step. I'm not sure if that is necessary. When I run the itunes diagnostic, it says it doesn't recognize an apple device connected to it.
I am running Windows XP if that helps. My iphone does not have the latest upgrade because I need to delete its photo library though itunes before I can download it. And I can't do that unti iTunes and my computer recognize my phone.
Appreciate any help!

Why won't my iTunes recognize my iphone?

My itunes library recently just stopped recognizing my iphone. I restarted my phone and pc and that still did not help. I also ran the diagnostics test through itunes and it said that my iphone was not plugged it.

Make sure your iTunes is up to date, make sure there is nothing else plugged into your computer's USB ports, if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and try syncing again.

I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
Thanks for your help!

Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures. None of them work!! She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!? Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
Can anyone advise please?

If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1. My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection. Coincidence?

After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again. Now it's working fine.

Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

Why won't my MacBook recognize the install disk?

Why won't my Macbook recognize the install disk? I want to run the Apple Hardware Test, but the computer will not boot from the install disk, it keeps ejecting the disk.

Several possibilities -
The disk may be from a different model of computer.
The disk itself may be damaged.
The optical drive in your MacBook may have gone bad. Can it read other DVDs?

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
