I plug my iPhone into my iMac - the electric charge is recognized, as it begins to charge.

it's recognized in iTunes. I hit "Sync". It says "syncing iPhone" for a while, then the iPhone resets. No Syncing has occurred.

Anyone else have this issue? Ideas?

Is your phone hacked? Have you tried restarting your computer and your iPhone? I have found that a majority of problems that happen with iPhone can be solved with a simple reset.

hmm no, it's a consistent problem (even after restarts).

Thanks for your ideas... anyone else have some thoughts?

unlocked iphone

not sure if people are still looking for a solution or not, but this is what works for me...

i've found that unlocking a first gen iphone i acquired here recently allowed me to sync after I removed the sim. once iTunes was happy with the sync, i put the sim back in and i had a fully sync'ed calendar, contacts, mail and so on. removing the sim every time is somewhat annoying, but without having it be legit and upgrading to the iPhone 2.0 software that iTunes is trying to shove down my throat, it's the only solution i've found.

No problem.

I have since upgraded to the latest firmware so sync'ing and Pwnage Tool are still holding strong so far. Installations of Cydia (any/all apps provided within), Winterboard, Summerboard, etc. are all still a go. I am assuming your iPhone is jailbroken obviously.
