    Default iTunes won't see my jailbroken iPhone

    First off, this site is great and finally gave me the push to jailbreak my iPhone 3G. But I just upgraded to Leopard and now when I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes it won't see it. It does on other computers, but not mine. It also isn't recognized in QwkPwn, but System Profiler sees it. The specs are below, I've tried googling, searching and looking everywhere but I can't seem to find a resolution. If anyone can be of help that'd be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    my computer (doesn't load)
    MacBook Pro
    iPhone 3G 2.2
    OSX 10.5.6
    iTunes 8.0.2

    It'll load in iTunes on...
    MacBook
    OSX 10.4.11
    iTunes 8.0.2

    and

    24" iMac
    OSX 10.5.5
    iTunes 8.0.2

    Try putting it in DFU then plug into iTunes. You may need to do a restore on the computer your using if it picks it up in DFU mode.

    you are going to need the fix to be able to have your OS recognize a phone in DFU mode if thats the route you take. run the automater in this download to fix that part of things

    Alright. I ran the restore on the phone but my computer still isn't recognizing it. I did the update on a MacPro (2x2.8HGz Quadcore, 10gb ram, OSX 10.5.4, iTunes 8.0). Anyone else have this problem before? Now that it's restored would the Apple store know I'd jailbroken it if I brought it in?

    Thanks

    Did some googling and I think I solved it... apparently some phones have been having issues when upgrading to 10.5.6. So I had to download iTunes 8.0.2 and reinstall it and now it saw the phone and let me recover from my latest version (the backup I did right before using QckPwn). Thanks for the help!
