To solve most of iPhone os problems you can perform a soft reset which will not change anything inside the phone

It'll simply remove the errors

To do that

1.Hold power button for 5 seconds

2.without releasing power button press home button and keep both pressed till the apple logo comes up

3.Now release both buttons


Your phone has now been reset


If this doesnt work then you can try restoring it again from itunes.

This is a known Apple issu at the moment ( I have inside sources as I dealt wwith this case all night at work *HINT*) and there is a solution that's worked for me every time someone chatted in about this issue.


Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and go down to Section 5 "Verfiy Apple Mobile device USb driver is installed.". When you get to the device manager and see the "Apple iPhone" driver listed in portable device or Universal Serial Bus Controllers, right click it and go to "Update Driver." Now it WILL say it is updated, but you have to force the update manually. Once you right click the Update driver, choose "Browse from my Computer Software" And then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." and then choose "Have disk." I am FULLY aware you do not have a physical disk, but the file is on your computer. Once you tap Have Disk, go to Browse. This will bring up a window where you can follow this File Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.


You will find a file that says usbaapl or usbaapl64 (if you have the 64 bit version of windows) Double click on that, and start the install of that file. Once the install is finished, check iTunes. I bet you it's listed now!!
