What to do if iTunes Stops Seeing Your iPad or iPhone
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1, I’ve had the situation where iTunes won’t see my iDevice when I plug it in. Apparently, I’m not alone in this. If this happens to you, the fix I finally found buried deep inside one of the Apple support fora is quite simple: 1. Drag your iTunes application to the Trash.
2. Empty Trash
3. Reinstall the latest version of iTunes. Hopefully this will be fixed in a soon-to-be-released update! Since this happens to me almost daily, I keep my iTunes .dmg file handy (no, you don’t need to re-download iTunes every time, unless they come up with a new one!) and the whole process takes about 3 minutes. Okay, so that’s still 3 minutes too many… Anyway, hope this helps — it certainly worked for me!
