Q: iPhone 4S stopped USB tethering after iTunes 11.1 update
As soon as iTunes 11.1 installed on my MBP Lion, my phone stopped USB tethering. It can still use the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth personal hotspots but not the USB option. Updating to iOS7 didn't fix the problem.
Anyone else experiencing this? Got solutions? Thanks!
iPhone 4S, iOS 7

and it does its thing for a few minutes and fixes it.....
but you might want to shop around for the right AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file that works if the above one doesnt...
I used 10.7 itunes one and it worked with itunes 11.1 and now I have USB tethering back as new....
