Download the latest iTunes again and reinstall it. Don't uninstall your current version, just install right over the top. It happened to me too, and this fixed it.

iphone not recognized in itunes on macbook

I have:
Macbook
iTunes 8.02
OSX 10.5.6
Iphone 3G v2.2

My husband's iphone will not show up in itunes or on the desktop. It will show up in iphoto and on my imac. My iphone will not show up on his macbook- but it did let me know that I had my phone's password on- but then didn't show it under devices.

I went through the procedures from apple- I have restarted the phone, restarted the macbook. I have the newest version of itunes- I reinstalled it by putting it on top of the itunes- that did nothing. Then I put itunes in the trash and reinstalled it again.

This is a new iPhone- the first one had problems.
I have not been able to successfully hook this one up to his computer.
And the phone works perfectly fine and no app installed yet.

Please help-
Thanks-

Try this:

Hard Reset:
1) Power iPhone on.
2) Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for about 7 seconds, or until the screen turns black.
3) Your iPhone should reboot. If it doesn't don't worry, just hold the Sleep/Wake button for about 2 seconds.

Forced Restore:
1) Turn iPhone off by holding down the Sleep/Wake Button for about 5 seconds or until the Slide to Power Off slider appears.
2) Slide Power Off slider. If iPhone is unresponsive, follow the Hard Reset instructions up to Step 3.
3) Open iTunes on your computer (Mac or PC).
4) Hold the Home Button down while you connect your iPhone to your computer via a USB cable.
5) iTunes should prompt you with a message saying an iPhone has been detected in Recovery Mode and that you must Restore it to before it can be used with iTunes.
6) Click Ok.
7) Click Restore a message should appear confirming that you want to Restore and Update.
8) Click Restore and Update. The restore has been initiated. Leave your iPhone connected until you iPhone reboots and syncs with iTunes.
