Q: I can no longer connect via USB/service missing
..& my iPhone does not show up on the list anymore. I can still use Wi-Fi, though. I would like to be able to use the USB connection again. Resetting the network settings doesn't help. BTW, I'm using it with my MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 and my iPhone has the latest iOS update as well.
When I first got the phone, I always used my internet connection via USB, but then it started giving me trouble. I tried all kinds of suggestions that I found here and it was a real crap shoot -- sometimes it worked, and sometimes not. Now it just won't work at all. I recently deleted my iPhone from the list of services thinking that the next time I plugged it in, it would recreated the service. It did not. So, I'm still using it as before: just connecting over Wi-Fi (the network is still available, it just doesn't show up in my list of services on the left-hand column under "network").
Anyone have any suggestions that they know will fix this?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4, Verizon
