@davidsh_seattle Thanks a lot!!

Thank you so much... I was freaking a little ...I follwed your steps & with a little trial & error

(all on my part) SUCCESS !! My 3GS which is now a IPOD basically for me is now being recognized..

Thank you again

I had the same problem and did the follwoing:

Uninstalled the following:

Apple iTunes

Apple Application Support

Apple Mobile Device Support

Re-installed apple iTunes without the phone connected to the USB the restarted PC.

Just plugging the iphone(5 with ios7) it was recognized and the USB internet tethering worked as well.

thanks, problem sorted

WoW...I thought I was the only one that used his old iPhone as an iPod...and I was freaking, too, when ITunes wouldn't recognize my "iPod", because I transfer all my downloaded songs to it.  But davidsh_seattle saved the day!!!

Thanks Crowded Brain, your fix worked like a charm.

i often had this happen, all i ever had to do is go into SERVICES on my computer and "restart apple mobile device" and "iPod mobile device".

David.  Thanks so much.  Worked perfectly !!!

davidsh_seattle, you are an apple savior... thanks! works very much fine!!!
