Computer keeps saying device has malfunctioned?

Every time I plug in my iPhone, I keep getting the same message. The device has malfunctioned and the computer doesn't recognize it. I've tried everything. Updating my computer, uninstalling the driver and restarting the computer but when I do that it fails to install it. I tried plugging it in to my other computer and I get the same message. Is there anything else I can do?

Try a different cable. I've met many an iPhone user who complains about this issue, and it has always turned out that the Apple cable they've been using has been falling apart. It often is still capable of charging (not for long), but syncing data gets wonky in both Windows and OS X. The part where the cable goes into the two ends, the 30-pin and USB plug ends, becomes loose and no longer connects as well.

  • Why are iphone home buttons easily malfunctioned? I mean, their home buttons are so delicate. But other devices such as samsung or other brands have durable buttons. But with iphone or ipad, you have to be careful when pushing the home button or the sleep button, otherwise, they will easily be damaged. Apple's devices are expensive but delicate. Why is this?
  • What is the device that the Ghost Adventures crew use to tell what the ghost is saying? What is the device that the Ghost Adventures people use if they want to see what the ghost is saying? I know it is a little black device, and it has a built-in dictionary. When the ghosts speak, the voice of the machine sounds like a robot. What is this device called, and is there an iPhone app similar to that device?
  • My Iphone keeps saying 'there's a billing problem from a previous purchase'? And it won't let me download free apps. And I have no money in my account (monthly pay lol) to put the details in and purchase whatever it was I was meant to have purchased, so when i add the details and press continue, it says there was a problem purchasing and then I'm back to square one.
