Anybody know why my Sony Vaio S series won't recognise my iPhone 3GS ?

I just bought a Sony Vaio S with Intel i5 chip, however when i plug in my iPhone 3GS absolutely nothing happens. The phone doesn't even charge - I've checked the cable with my old Dell and it works . I've downloaded the latest iTunes and can't seem to work out why I'm getting zilch from the laptop? I've tried all 3 USBs on the thing but still no good.
I'm pretty tech-stupid but would appreciate any help .Thanks

  • Anybody knows why my iPod 160 GB suddenly won't sync my Contacts anymore?

    It was working alright before I "upgraded" to Snow Leopard and iTunes 9... suddenly I cannot sync my contacts into my iPod (a VERY valuable feature!)... I have been to MacStores and they have no idea... any solutions out there?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I have a similar problem. Everything went fine, but after installing Snow and Itunes 9.1 My ipod classic 80 GB did not sync Contacts and Calendars anymore. There is also a problem with the battery suddenly.
    After having fully charged and I open music after 2 minutes it completely goes blank telling me there is a very low battery status. I do not know if this is by accident or it also hve to do with all the hardware problems people encounter with the iTunes 9.0
    Does anybody have the same problem with battery?
    thks

  • Can IInstall OS X Snow leopard on my Sony VAIO E-series?

    I just recently well literally today got delivered my OS X Snow leopard installation disk and I was wondering is there a way to install Snow leopard on my Sony VAIO E series SVE1512K1EB because I want to make a hackintosh :3 Now I know Apple is against this an all but I just would like to experiment. when I openthis up I only see this (see photo below)
    Now as you can see from the pic I it says bootcamp and stuff and the setup application did nothing to be honest. Have I actually bought the
    official Snow leopard OS because the DVD only
    says 800Mb which is nothing and a mac OS is
    normally 5GB. Can I have some help? because
    Miscrosoft support said come here lol and I really want to install this cool OS on my partitioned HDD
    specially named Snow leopard lol. I have tried fooling around with the BIOS and I have restarted and seen if the PC said "do you want to install..." but no luck and the disk drive does rev up like something is going one but nothing. Can some one please just help me? :3
    Here is another picture of my laptop and the OS ontop.

    No, there is no way to do this. OS X drivers will not be compatible, and it violates the OS X license.
    This is an Apple site, so we will not help you with hackintoshes. You need to seek help elsewhere.

  • After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
    The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
    By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
    And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
    So this is solved.

  • Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

    Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
    I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
    To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
    We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
    On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
    Thanks kindly
    Simon Winter

    Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
    1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
    1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
    1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
    2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
    3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
    In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
    HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Ansi
    HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType (CID)
    Encoding: Identity-H
    If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

        Its all good, TimN8128! Mrhelper is corret with regards to making sure that mobile data is turned off when on WiFi or when not connected to WiFi, if you do not want the phone to access data services to update or refresh app services. These applications can all be configured by going to Settings and reviewing all apps that appear in that area. You can also configure a bit further by going to Settings>Cellular.

    Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

    Thank you for the sugestion, but it was working fine both on the lock screen and on my home screen. I check all my settings and it is how it was from Friday, when I got the iPhone 5s. It just stop working.  The only way I can fix it is by shutting down the phone. It will work for a while, then it won't.

    Does anybody know why my calendar keeps duplicating diary entries in Outlook office for Mac?
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    No dont worry i am not going to copy this. The reason i am asking is to see if it is legal or not, its worth getting a discount if its available. Looks like its a no though. If you ask me NUS should be prosecuted because you can be minimum age of 16 and get an NUS card and it says on their site under the link to apple store 'are you a student in further education. If so why not take advantage of a 15% discount on apple products'. (or somethign alogn those lines) Now me and my mate are but we arent over 18. Ive emailed them to try and get a confirmation. Anyone know an email address that i can contact apple directly about this with? Also any more answers to the original post are welcome.
    I would also like to know if i can get any sort of discount on apple products whilst under the age of 18, whether straight through apple or using for example NUS cards.

  • SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED APPEAR TWICE ON MY PHONE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY AND HOW TO EDIT THIS PROBLEM?

    Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?

    I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
    The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this?
