iPhone Won't Connect to Computer After 3.0 Update

[ardpbub]

I updated to 3.0 yesterday and then synced my iphone (as it does automatically after an update). Today I went to plug my iphone into my computer and nothing happened, no charging, doesn't show up in iTunes. It still charges fine from the wall so I assume it isn't a bad cable.

I have tried resetting both my computer and iphone while the two are connected but it hasn't helped.

Any suggestions? I have a Powerbook G4 and a iPhone 3G

Thanks in advance.

This might sound crazy but go into your system preferences and disable any network that you have running and see if that works to get the iPhone seen in iTunes.

Let me know if it does.

Thanks...

Thanks but after several restarts of both the computer and iphone it started working and seems to be ok now though one try did result in the error pictured below related to USB trouble.

Thanks again.

got exactly the same issue.. updated to 3.0 GM one week ago, worked flawlessly for few days and suddently.. bum! itunes (nor the mac itself) recognize or charge the phone anymore. I've also tried the solution posted on this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/715240/
and once the 2 files and itunes are removed, the phone is recognized by the mac and charges, but when I reinstall itunes the problem is still there! As soon as itunes finish the installation the iphone disconnect itself... I don't know what to do.. Looks everything is related to the two files AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
AppleMobileDevice.kext

any suggestion?
I've also tried to put the phone in DFU mode (successfully) but I do need to backup the phone before restoring as the last one is one week older and I've got text sms that I don't wanna lose...

any idea?!
cheers
Andrea
