MacBook not recognizing iPhone
My computer (a MacBook) will not recognize my iPhone 5. I do not believe that it is an issue with my computer, because I tested it on a friend's computer (PC), and his did not recognize it, either, nor do I believe that it is an issue with the cable, because my phone will still charge when plugged into a wall, unless having an official Apple cable makes a difference, because mine is not. I also do not think that it is a USB port issue, because it acknowledges other items plugged in there.
The only things that I can think of is that it may be connected to the fact that my 2008/2009 MacBook, OS X 10.6.8, will not receive the latest version of iTunes, and/or that I just updated my iPhone to the latest iOS, 8.3. Help!
