I'm experiencing the same problem as EZ, but only since installing 3.0 will iTunes not recognize my iphone 3G. Here's what I've tried 3 or 4 times (all of Hawk's suggestions and then some!):
* Uninstalling iTunes, Mobileme, Bonjour, and everything Apple from my laptop. Emptying bin, and even defragging...
* Updating Windows Driver - both automatically & by manually listing the directory with usbaapl.sys
* Resetting Apple Mobile Device
* Trying different usb ports and cables
* Setting Windows to "take no action"
* Rebooting after trying all of these steps in different combinations.
The best response I've gotten from iTunes has been: "An iphone has been detected but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again."
What irks me is that on my first try, iTunes did recognize my iPhone and loaded my contacts. Then I got the msg. suggesting I install 3.0, and have been stuck ever since.
Unless anyone suggests otherwise, my next step will be to figure out how to switch back to factory settings - wondering if I can do this or if I have to take it back to the store.
