    REPOST (this solved my problem!!)

    "The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:

     

    I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).

    I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.

    I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.

     

    In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.

    The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"
