I have a MacBook Pro (version 10.5.8). I recently installed a new hard drive, battery, and had the Genius Bar reinstall my OS X. Now, iTunes and iPhoto don't recognize my iPhone 4 (version 5.1) when it's attached through the USB port. It simply doesn't show up in the left column of either program. Before the hard drive, battery and reinstall of OS X, I never had this problem.
I have tried restarting my phone and my computer, and looking for my iPhone in Image Capture, and none of these actions have worked.
I am a lifelong apple user. I am running the latest IOS software on iTunes and my MacBook uses OS X 10.7.3. All of the software is up to date. I was originally upset because iPhoto and Image Capture would not detect my iPhone 4 but I got over it. Now iTunes won't detect the phone and that is not ok. I searched the forums but I didn't find anything that has resolved the issue. I cannot delete iTunes and reinstall because my computer tells me it is "required by OS X". Therefore, searching finder and deleting then re installing will not work.
I'm on a older MacBook pro running iTunes version 9.2.1. When I plug my iPhone 4s into my comp iPhoto recognizes it and I can transfer photos but iTunes doesn't see my phone at all... Tried following apples suggestions, restart phone and iTunes, reset iPhone, check USB connections... Nothing has worked yet.
Running OS X Lion (10.7.3) on new iMac. Not sure what changed recently but now, when I plug in my iPhone, it does not sync with iTunes, nor does it open iPhoto to import photos. In fact, it doesn't recognize that the iPhone is plugged in at all, but the phone does charge of course.
I already ran through these steps on the Apple site a couple of times [URL]

I've just installed iOS 5.1.1, discovered that not all photos that I checked in iTunes had been synchronized to my iPhone, noted that Other was taking up lots of space, restored the iPhone from a backup, discovered that it still did not subsequently sync all requested photos, selected to sync no photos and delete those on the iPhone, and am in the process of once again syncing the photos that I selected.
Now I notice that I selected 25,287 photos, but iTunes is reporting "Copying photo ... of 13,320". Why just 13,320? I elected to erase all the photos on the iPhone, so I would expect that iTunes would have to copy all 25,287!
Maybe Apple would be wise to invest some cash in software quality control. iOS 5 and iPhoto '11 are seriously flawed.

I recently updated itunes, and iphoto and iphone and now the iphone will not connect to iphoto to download pictures. IPhone will connect to flash card thru usb port. I also have photo streaming on but that is not working also. I also have noticed that in Itunes I cannot sync to iphone. I have tried everything except resetting phone.
When i tried to update my phone a message popped up saying it had failed. now my iphones screen just tells me to plug into itunes. i tried resetting and that didnt even work. itunes wont recognize my iphone either
I've just connected my iPhone to my laptop with USB cable to sync / update but it wont recognise it (doewsnt come up in devices)
Have done all the troubleshooting stuff on Apple website (the usual turn on / turn off iphone, restart computer, uninstall and reinstall itunes) but no luck.
The US cable seems t be fine as its charging the phone while connected.
I have iPhone 3G with IOS 3.1.3. My Windows 7 computer recognized the iPhone in My Computer but iTunes does not.I went through to reinstall iTunes and still does not help.
I just bought a new Iphone and synced it to my Itunes account. But I forgot to sync my old Iphone one last time. So there are songs on my old Iphone that weren't synced to Itunes. Now my new Iphone, which I synced to Itunes, doesn't have at least 20 or so songs that are on my old phone. I tried syncing my old phone to Itunes but it won't even recognize it or show up in Itunes. Can I sync my old phone to Itunes if I've already synced my new one?
I had an iPhone 4 but sent it in to get serviced, so I'm using a 3GS backup. I tried to back up my 4 before I sent it in, but iTunes or iPhoto wouldn't recognize my phone. Sent it in aways and i'm having the same trouble with my 3GS. Since I'll have a new phone in less than a week I just want to transfer my contacts and messages, just the basics. I made sure I have the most updated version of iTunes and the current OS.
my iPhone 4S cannot be recognized by iTunes, in fact not even as a removable drive in any of the PC's i have access to. What can I do? I read somewhere else that I should restore my iPhone, but if iTunes can't recognize it how can I do so? Not long ago, I had another issue is it could not go off, whenever i tried so, it restarted instead of turning off.

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 last night and I noticed today that my phone is not recognized anymore by iTunes. It does show up in My Computer, and it will charge via USB port as well. I have already uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes multiple times. Someone posted on a blog that this happened to them and they restored their phone again by putting it into DFU mode, so I attempted this with no success. This ended up getting me to the point where I would get iTunes' error #1611 every time I tried to restore. For some reason (after multiple iTunes reinstalls), I was able to get my phone back up and working with iOS 5.1.1 again. However, this time my software seems to work the same except for the fact that my texts are green once again. It still will not be recognized by iTunes. I have checked that my Mobile Device service is started, running, and set to Automatic. For now, at least my phone is running again.

My iPhone 3G is being recognised perfectly happily by iTunes, but absolutely nothing else. It doesn't appear in Finder and doesn't open iPhoto when I plug it in, so I can back up my photos.
I've tried restarting both the Mac (which is running Snow Leopard) and the iPhone. I've tried several cables. The result is always the same. iTunes spots the iPhone (it did use to automatically open iTunes, but I stopped that) and nothing else. No icon on the desktop, no appearance in Finder and won't show in any searches I do.
How can I fix this, and start backing up photos again?
I bought an iPhone 3G from someone the other day, and I went to Settings>Delete all contents or whatever it's called. While it was recovering/deleting stuff, I decided I would just put it into recovery mode and connect it to iTunes to restore it. The problem is, my computer/iTunes won't recognize the phone, and it won't go into DFU mode. I am on a Mac because my computer broke, and I don't know much about Mac's so maybe there is a way to get the phone to be recognized? The phone is on 3.1.2 and the computer has the newest iTunes version.
I was trying to jailbreak it with blackra1n as well, and blackra1n won't recognize the phone either.
This one was a 3GS. I changed for a 4. That doesn't matter.
I have a Macbookpro (OS 10.6.8).
Itunes is updated. And IOS too.
Three curious things : iPhoto works with the iPhoneif I reinstall OS to 10.6.3, it worksbut in this case, the appleApps in iTunes are in grey : not accessible
