Resolved iOS 5.1 Not Recognized by Computer

[iTim314]

Title says it all. Since updating to iOS 5.1, my iPhone 4 is no longer recognized by my MacBook Pro, neither over WiFi or USB.

To check to see if the iTunes 10.6 update had anything to do with it, I synced my iPod 5G with no problem. I also plugged in my iPhone with iPhone Configuration Utility open, and no iPhone appeared.

Anyone else having these problems?

I've restarted the iPhone and the computer many times.

Are you sure you're using the most recent update for iTunes?

Check with a different cable.

Yes. 10.6 (40)

Check with a different cable.

Did so. No avail.

Solved. I directly downloaded iTunes and just reinstalled it. I couldn't think of anything else that would cause it other than a bad installation.
