An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly Why do I get the following message in iTunes when syncing my iPhone(s)/iPad(s) to iTunes wirelessly on Windows Vista Ultimate?


  An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.  Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again.


Whenever I sit down at my Windows machine after being away for a while with iTunes running, I get several of these popups I need to dismiss before I can do anything in iTunes.
First thing is to Uninstall iTunes, get rid of it entirety.

Reinstall from Apple

Plug your iPhone in

It should now work fine.
