I upgraded my iPad device OS version recently to 5.1.1 (9B206). From that my Xcode is not detecting my device. Am just getting iOS Device and simulator options in my Xcode. But am getting my device in older version of Xcode and iTunes. For this i updated my MAC OS version to 10.7.4 and Xcode version to 4.3.3. But still am facing the same problem. Now how to make my Xcode to detect my device?

This Worked for me.

  • Quit Xcode.
  • Disconnect the device.
  • In a terminal window, type: sudo pkill usbmuxd (it will be restarted again automatically)
  • Restart Xcode
  • Connect the device

Your device should now be visible again in Xcode!
