Hello bbtepper,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand that you would like to use iTunes with your iPhone 3GS on your Windows 7 computer. The current version of iTunes, 12.2, is compatible with Windows 7 and your iPhone 3GS. The attached page below has a link that will let you download iTunes 12.2 to your computer if you choose. You may also want to look at the Windows System Requirements listed on the left side of the page to ensure your computer is compatible.

Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Have a great day

Thanks. Now I know why it won't work. MY PC doesn't match the specs listed. I'll sync it with the new Mac.

I'm surprised that any 64-bity machine capable of running Windows 7 would not meet iTunes' requirements.

From http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...

Windows System Requirements

Hardware:

PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor with support for SSE2 and 512MB of RAM
To play Standard Definition video from the iTunes Store, an Intel Pentium D or faster processor, 512MB of RAM, and a DirectX 9.0-compatible video card is required.
To play 720p HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 1GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X3000, ATI Radeon X1300, or NVIDIA GeForce 6150 or better is required.
To play 1080p HD video, a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X4500HD; ATI Radeon HD 2400; Nvidia GeForce 8300 GS or better is required.
Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater; 1280x800 or greater is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras
16-bit sound card and speakers
Broadband Internet connection to use Apple Music, the iTunes Store, and iTunes Extras
iTunes-compatible CD or DVD recorder to create audio CDs, MP3 CDs, or back-up CDs or DVDs. Songs from the Apple Music catalog cannot be burned to a CD.

Software:

Windows 7 or later
64-bit editions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space

These specs are probably a little bit low for practical use - in particular, 1GB of RAM is really needed for even a very small library, and most users will encounter performance issues if iTunes is running in less than 2GB.
