Iphone 5 not recognized by iTunes on MacBook Pro
Phone is running OS 7.1.1, iTunes 11.2.2 and Macbook Pro is OSX 10.6.8. I have tried removing the extensions and reinstalling iTunes as suggested in a support article, restarting with or without the phone attached, but no luck - the phone doesn't show up in iTunes.
I have a rather large selection of photos/videos on the phone that I need moving to a permanent storage - this is very frustrating.Hi there Kim Hansen3,

Ipad wont sync to iTunes on Macbook Pro
my dad just updated his ipad to IOS 7, and now it will not sync with his iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. Whenever he plugs it in, he gets the same message
"The iPad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
When he updated his software, wouldn't that have updated his iTunes? Is anyone else having this issue? Is it a glitch with the new software?back up the device to icloud. Here is how to do that http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
Then you are going to place the device in recovery mode. Here is how http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Iphone 5 wont connect to itunes on macbook air
My new iPhone 5 won't seem to connect ti iTunes on my MacBook Air. I plug it in and it charges fine, however I get the following error message. The phone recognizes my iTunes account in that it's on match and I have access to music and such, but it doesn't show up on in iTunes on my computer. Help!
Are you connecting to a USB hub, or directly to the MBA? If you are using a hub, don't.
Do you have the latest version of iTunes? That's 11.3 as of today's date.
If you neither of these are the issue see: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X -

Re: iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer

Did you ever figure this out? I followed these instructions and it worked! May have had something to do with the old MobileMe program becoming obsolete. After you click "Finder", then "Go", then hold down "option" button, then click "library" folder, then follow folders as listed. I also deleted the MobileMeSyncClient folder (found in the same location) since it is no longer in use either.

this works...
You need to delete the MobilSync backup folder. I have a Mac. Went to /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup folder.
to find your "library" folder you need to open "finder" then go to the top tool bar menu and open "go" then hold down the "option" button and "library will appear in the "finder " menu on the left hand side... cheers -
Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,

My iPhone I wanted to update music in MacBook Pro but I have never connected my iPhone to the Mac book and now older messages and apps would appear and music wouldn't play none of all 550 songs HELP
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes. -
My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?
My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?
Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose. -
I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.
