I am grabbing at straws for you with this possible solution, but it's worth a try.

Remove the connection between your iPhone and your computer; turn off your computer and turn off your iPhone. Wait a couple of minutes and then turn both units back on and reconnect your iPhone to your computer. Hopefully the two units will recognize each other and complete the connection.

When I have had problems with my iPhones or iPad, this is what I have done and it has worked. Sometimes this electronic stuff requires some magic and sometimes the simplest of solutions work. Try it. You won't loose anything but some time.

Good Luck,

Try this. You might need to update your driver on your pc

From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver", Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.
