iPhone won't sync with computer.

Hello!

I've had my 3GS since launch and haven't experienced any problems with it yet. A few days ago, out of nowhere, my iPhone stopped syncing with my computer. When I plug the USB into the iPhone it rings, and shows that it's charging, but it doesn't sync in iTunes and iPhoto doesn't auto start like it used to.

I updated iTunes and OSX, but I still can't get my device to recognize!

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

If set to launch automatically when any digital camera is connected, iPhoto will launch automatically when the iPhone is connected only if there are photos and/or video available in the iPhone's camera roll.

Does iPhoto recognize your iPhone when manually launching iPhoto after your iPhone is connected?

Try downloading and re-installing the current iTunes version. No need to uninstall iTunes first before doing so.

Do you mean the phone ringer sounds or you get the connecting sound?
