Apple really screwed this one up. They apparently are trying to abandon their Tiger OS, not realizing how many people are still actively using a Mac with OSX 10.4. Currently, in order to update to 4.2 on ANY iphone you need to be running iTunes 10 which you can't install on Tiger. In order to update to iTunes 10 you need to update Tiger. Snow Leopard is on sale on Apple's website for a reasonable $29. This is great for all the Intel Mac users who for $29 can update their OS and fix their phone. Power PC users, I'm currently running a dual 1.8 G5 PPC 10.4 OSX, are dead in the water unless they want to spend near $200 for Leopard OSX 10.5. Leopard is rumored to be on sale through Apple by phone (it's not listed on their website).

The most distressing concern is the lack of information coming from Apple or the tech news sites (not to mention the amount of difficulty Apple makes it to attain information). Apple SHOULD either dumb down iTunes 10 for PPC Tiger users, release 10.5 as a final free update and gesture to PPC owners, or AT LEAST discount Leopard 10.5 somewhere around that $29 price point. With all that Apple and Mac does to make you love them, they do just as much to induce hatred. This is BS.

Why cant itunes read your iPhone?

The dock port on your iPhone may be damaged, or the usb port on your computer may be damaged or broken. Check to make sure that your cable is plugged in securely on both ends, and there is no obvious physical damage. Other reasons could be the usb software of your computer could be set up wrong. Also check that your iPhone and version of iTunes are compatible, or you may have to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. If none of that works, contact Apple support.
