Hello everyone I hope someone can help me here I am out of options.

So I have the iPhone 3GS with the 4.3 software. Well my phone or actually any iPhone, iPod touch I plug to my computer do not work. I plug them in, automatically I get a message on the iPhone saying the devise is not supported and can not be charged, iTunes tries to grab it, but 3 seconds later the computer kicks it out and I get an iTunes message saying that the iPhone could not be found because the hard disk on the devise could not be found. And if I leave it plugged in the process just goes on and on.

I've tried the following and none have worked:

Re installed intunes-5 xs
Updated USB drivers
Updated iPhone
Restored iPhone
Updated iTunes/drivers
Erased photo cache from iPhone
Unistalled mobile devise-lost count
Reset the settings on iPhone to og
Restarted computer and iPhone many times while conducting any of these steps. Non work

Now phone works fine because I can plug and sync with other laptops just fine. But my computer at home does not want to work with the phone.
Can any anybody help please!!
 
No it's not jail broken. It first started out with only not charging the phone but it would still sync. Then it started syncing only when it wanted to. It was a hit and miss. Now I have this problem. And the thing is if I slowly disconnect the phone it shows me that it's being charged for a split second. I've tried using numerous cables thinking it was my cables. But it's not the cables because Ived used the same ones on the other computers the phone works fine on.
