Since updating to 10.6 (and now 10.6.1), my phone does nothing when I plug it into the USB and into the iMac. The 2 cables I have both work fine in my mains charger, but if I plug the phone into the iMac now, it doesn't charge and doesn't connect with iTunes. I've tried all the USB ports, naturally smile.

Looking at the Apple discussion forums, I'm not the only one experiencing this. Grmmmbll.

I have a 3GS that someone gave me because it wouldn't charge or be recognized by their Mac, so they got a new one and had this one laying around. I put it into recovery mode and did a factory reset and it's been working flawlessly for almost 4 months.

They were also one that had a ton of apps loaded. I don't know if that was the cause, if it was a buggy app, or if it just needed a full reboot. Is yours jail broken?

Yes, jailbroken and not had this problem until iTunes got updated. And, as I say, it's happening to a number of other people too.

I've also just updated an app (Activator) on the phone, so I've written to the dev in case he hears other reports from people with a similar issue. At least I can still charge it, and I can back it up over wifi using an app.

Try reinstalling Apple Mobile Device Service.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747

I might suggest restarting after step 12 if that doesn't work. Maybe the kext can load without a restart but it's worth a shot.

Also, any reason you stopped at 10.6.1? Just curious, something you have that won't work past that?

Edit - Check out the Additional Information link at the bottom of the support page too.

I'll look into that when I have time, thanks.
*edit* No I won't, as that's for OSX 10.6.8 and earlier.

Um, 10.6.1 is the latest version of iTunes, isn't it? I'm running !0.7.3 as the OS, if that's what you meant.

I see, 10.6.1 was referring to iTunes.

I believe the same kexts etc may hold true for OS 10.7.x.

Yeah, the clue was in the topic title smile.

I'll take a gander at the kexts thing soon, I hope. Mad busy right now.

The kext thing didn't work, alas. I'd love to try installing an earlier version of iTunes, but I foolishly didn't keep any installers, and Apple seems bery, very diligent at making sure you can't download earlier versions for macs.

Anyone got a copy of a iTunes 10.5.x installer they could send me a link to?

Edit
