Any ideas,

Im thinking it could be my usb drivers if i need to update it but how can this be done as i dont know the specifications of my usb drivers?

welcome to the lounge :)

if nothing has changed on your pc recently then just try resetting (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705) it first.

then you may want to try with a different cable and/or different usb port on your computer next. also try out other devices on the same ports - this way you can at least narrow where the problem may be.

I tried the cable at my friends house and it works, the usb port dont seem to work for my new phone either but it works for my mp3 player. I am pretty sure its the drivers but how can i check this out any ideas?

in your control panel there should be some system info option (sorry only use windows at work!) that will allow you to check the properties on your usb ports and see if they are working properly.

i did find these via google...
