i assume you're on a Mac?

sounds like the iTunes Helper process may not be running. if you open activity monitor (applications/utilities/Activity Monitor), see if it is listed in the processes list.

Always try the easy fixes first

[projectdarkside]

Yeah :)
-Cause if the easy fixes dont resolve the problem did youve probably got yourself a serious problem maybe requiring a phone call to 1-800-MY-APPLE:wink:

Can you sync yet? If so, how did you fix it? I have the same issue. No sync screen after restore of iphone.
