Hey guys, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with the current iTunes 10.1.1. I tried restoring my iPhone multiple times and each time I do, it stays stuck half way at the Apple logo with the status bar indicating it was about 50-60% done. I left it over night to restore and still, it remained the same. I tried a different route and used my girlfriend's PC and it worked like a charm. WTH is going on with my MacBook Pro? I have the base MacBook Pro: 2.26 Ghz, 4 gigs of ram, and 500 GB HD. I have tried a hard restart and still have no luck....
Got a tip for us?

iTunes will not restore iPhone but will restore from a PC?

This would be more appropriate in the iPhone forum but what kind of restore are you attempting to do? Restore from an .ipsw or just a clean restore? I guess in any case, the problem might be due to the file being used.
Go to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates and move the latest update to the desktop and force iTunes to download the latest update and try the restore again. I have no experience with iPhones but it's pretty much a basic attempt at troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, you would be better off in the iPhone forum.
