Cannot SEE/Sync iPhone4 in iTunes after downgrading to OS 10.6.6

I had installed the 10.6.7 update last week when it first became available, making the mistake that it was a very simple update. But as I'm sure everyone knows by now, it's font issues significantly affected PDF creation and viewing. So much so for us, that I had to downgrade back to 10.6.6.
Though the reinstall of the OS worked fine, since then, my phone is no longer recognized by iTunes.
Again, System is currently 10.6.6 though I had previously installed the 10.6.7 update.
iTunes version is 10.2.1 (1).
MacPro Quad Core
iPhone4, iOS v4.3(8F190)
I'm sure this has something to do with the downgrade, but I've been searching for answers for the past couple days and haven't seen this specific issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Okay, I figured it out.
Shoulda just tried this before I posted in Discussions...
I deleted iTunes (completely), and reinstalled.

Now everything is working fine again.

Cannot see my devices in iTunes after updating. Why?

I just updated iTunes and device software and now my iTouch and iPad are not showing up via USB. I can see them in Windows Explorer (Win 8.1) as Apple iPad or Apple iTouch but cannot find them in iTunes by their given names. When I select File, Devices - the options are all greyed out (unavailable). I've tried the troubleshooting tips listed for my operating system and none have corrected the issue. Are there any other suggestions?

So after I submitted this issue, another set of options showed up in the right margin of my screen. The following link shows the steps I followed to resolve the issue. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was not installed. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).

I just restored my iphone4 in iTunes ( after not syncing it for about three months) and it wiped all my texts and contacts and I think restored it to three months ago. Any way of undoing this? Thanks!! this?

I just restored my iphone4 in iTunes ( after not syncing it for about three months) and it wiped all my texts and contacts and I think restored it to three months ago. It seems it erased all texts and recent contacts since three months. Any way of undoing this? thanks in advance, Greg

Only if you have a more recent backup with which to restore from - if you've only got the one from 3 months ago then you will be limited to what was on that.

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.

If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

Hi, I am trying to Sync Iphone4 with iTunes of my Desktop, but unable to transfer my purschases to iPhone.

Hi, I am trying to Sync Iphone4 with iTunes of my Desktop, but unable to transfer my purschases to iPhone.
On Itunes i can see that Apps are added on my iPhone, but after hitting the Sync button, it tries to do the Sync & nothing happens
I Have tried this on several times but nothing happens.
Any solutions are highly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,

Hey guys, I found a solution. I had the same problem, the sync will say "Determining apps to sync" in step 4 - 7 then suddenly just quits. So I did some research, apparently a lot of people have this problem, but everyone were just trying on their own PC, so I decided to try on my other laptop. My iPod synced perfectly with the other laptop so I knew it was the PC that was the problem, not my iPod. So basically it's just iTunes. I followed these steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes on my PC and Viola! It syncs perfectly again!
Here's the link to the steps: http://www.imobie.com/support/completely-remove-and-reinstall-itunes.ht
Note: Before I did this, BeBuoi said to remove all the apps and resync, but that didn't work for me. So when I did all these steps, I had no apps in my iPod.
Goodluck!

Cannot see Apple TV in iTunes

Help!.. Cannot see Apple TV in iTunes...
Have Dell PC running Windows 7 64-bit Prof. Hard-wired into d-link wireless router/modem.
Followed all Apple TV trouble shooting advice to no avail. As a final resort have even fully reinstalled PC operating system and still cannot see the device.
As a test Apple TV was found over the same wireless network by my laptop running XP - so I am sure it is not an Apple TV or network fault.
Has anyone got any adive pls?

had the same problem. The following was found in another thread on ATV disappearing from iTunes. It was posted by Cima113. I tried it. It brings ATV back in iTunes. Mine has been fine now for a month. I hope this helps someone.
(Copied part starts here)
It appears the best and only known solution for the AppleTV issue (windows) isn’t actually iTunes build 9.1.0.79. After the helpful postings to this thread it appears that the recent update of Bonjour is the actual culprit. Users experiencing this issue (Apple TV stopped appearing in iTunes 9.1.0.79) should try the following if your setup stopped working after iTunes 9.1.0.79.
1) Uninstall Bonjour version 2 :
Start> control panel>> uninstall a program>>> Select Bonjour>>>> Uninstall
2) RESTART your computer!!!
3) Open iTunes…
You should get a message that Bonjour is missing… This is what you want.
*While you have iTunes open make sure “Find AppleTV’s” is selected in iTunes, under:
Edit> Preferences>> Apple TV tab>>> Check box bottom.
(The above step must wait until after you install Bonjour 1.0.6, restart and open iTunes. This option is noy available while Bonjour is not installed)
4) Close iTunes.
5) Install Bonjour 1.0.6 (reputable download site: Cnet’s Download.com see below)
http://download.cnet.com/Bonjour-for-Windows/3000-18507_4-93550.html
6) RESTART your computer!!!!
7) Open iTunes
8) Start AppleTV and …
Go to: Settings> Computers>> locate the “iTunes/Add library” option>>>
Go to PC and Enter code in iTunes.
Restarting after uninstall AND install are critical!!

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

I cannot find my iphone4s on itunes since itunes 11 version.
and then I update it to the latest 11.1.1. and hope that I can find it. But it is not.
I try to change my usb cable; doesn't work.
I try to plug in - plug out many times; doesn't work.
I try to restart the service in control panel.(Refer to Apple's instruction); doesn't work.
What should I do? Thank you in advance.
Remark: I haven't update my iphone to the ios7 yet. Because I saw that it doesn't work well on other device.

Hello pitichai,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.
You have taken some really good steps already, but I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip steps 1-4 because you have already tried those):

Can't sync iPhone to iTunes after 8.3 update.

After yesterdays update, I was trying to sync my iPhone to my macbook's iTunes library, and it keeps giving me the message "The iPhone cannot be synced because the connection to the iPhone was lost." It also gave me an odd message saying that my iPhone was over capacity by 3.2gb.. which was ridiculous because my iPhone is 32gb and I have very little on it. When I checked the storage on my iPhone settings, it actually said that i had 3.8 gb free to use. Regardless, I deleted a few apps and now it shows that I have 3.11 gb free but my iPhone still won't sync!
I heard a few people were having this problem, did anyone find a solution?
Thanks!

Hello,
I've got a similar problem. Yesterday upgraded IOS and my Mac to the most recent versions. Today, I can't connect iPhone (6) to my iTunes via WiFi.
Any suggestions?
