Hi all. The issue with iTunes not detecting the iPhone and other devices I have had as well. My issue was a bit more complex due to having development tools Xcode installed.
If you only have iTunes and no Xcode. Then what John stated is correct. Install the full copy of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes over the top of your current installed version. Then it should all work fine. If you have Xcode installed. Then you have to completely uninstall Xcode first then reinstall iTunes. To uninstall Xcode you have to: Go to terminal and open up the shell. change directories to /applications/utilities. Run: sudo /Development/Library/uninstall-devtools -mode=all Wait for a while and you will eventually have to reload the computer.
