Assuming a suitable version of iTunes is in place then in Finder use the menu item Go > Go to Folder..., copy the following text, paste it into the dialog box and press enter:


/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/Current/Resources


Unlock your device and connect it to USB. Double click on MobileDeviceUpdater in the folder that has opened. It should notify you of a software update. Install it and iTunes should hopefully recognize your device.

Turingtest2 we meet again, ;-)


Sorry but nothing is happening when I double click on the MobileDeviceUpdater. However the problem seems to be fixed. I was not notified of an update, I actualy tought notting happened.

Now conecting my iPhone seems to work flawless. I'll try tomorrow if it also works after a restart.

If then there is still a problem ... I 'll be back.


Thanks for now ...
