I had this happen yesterday with my iPhone 4 so don't feel lonesome.:) I was getting iPhoto to start up but iTunes was not seeing the iPhone. So I restarted the iPhone then did a Restart of my MacBook Pro. The current version of iTunes has a few bugs That I have noticed. The drag and drop of album art is one that shows up a lot and it is back in the latest version. There will be an update to iTunes when the next iPhone comes out and I hope this bug goes away. The album art bug is one that drives me crazy an I like high rez. art in my mp3 files tags where talking 1500x1500. To get around this bug of dropping the art on to the info window of the album select. I found that you can select a whole album in List view then drop the art in the album art window at the lower left hand side of itunes this will copy the art to the Tag of each mp3 file.

Today I tried to sync it with iTunes (10.4). No dice - iTunes becomes unresponsive and gives me a spinning beach ball until I force quit. The battery will charge but there is no syncing happening. Tried it without the dock, just the cable, with the same result. This is the first time I've tried to sync it in at least a year, so several iTunes updates have happened since then. Is it simply obsolete? Or is there something else I should try? Many thanks, Alex
