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 .
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.

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?
