The third bullet worked for me. I am note even sure I followed the instructions in the exact right order, but basically I closed iTunes, disabled wifi, shut wifi (which with my cable company is part of the cable box for the 2nd TV) off, then computer and iPhone 4. Restarted wifi/cable box, started computer and iPhone, started iTunes and my iPhone was then recognized in iTunes.

The downside: I am now “waiting…” 9 years and 12 days “for items to copy.”
