Many thanks for your reply.
There is no iTunes/Devices/iPhone/Options path in my version of iTunes (10.5.2)
Under ‘Preferences’ in iTunes however there is a ‘Devices’ tab which contains device backups.
There were several of them there so I deleted all except two ..... one for the iPad and one for the iPhone (which from a previous error is named iPod)
Now when I open iTunes both are appearing .... Don’t know why but this now seems to work.
