Can only see iphone in itunes on imac. can't see iphone in devices on imac.

I could previously see my iphone in my 'devices' on my imac. When I connect it now, it is only visible in 'itunes'. I now have no control over what I want copied from my imac to my iphone. Don't understand why the phone does not appear in devices when I connect it to the imac.

O.K. I've spent more time trying to figure this out----hours, actually, wasted.
I have found a solution that just now worked for me.
I connected my iPhone 5 to a 'Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.'
Then, I connected this configuration to a known 30-pin USB cable that works fine with my iPhone 3GS and iPad [Second generation].
Immediately, my iMac, as well as iTunes, recognized my iPhone 5.
Synchronization between my iPhone 5 and iTunes went off "without a hitch."
I don't know if this combination will work for me more than this one time. I'll try again after I've added more music to iTunes, tomorrow.
Maybe this solution will work for others having this same software/hardware configuration.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

You need iTunes version 11+.

WRT600N and Network Places can't see other N device

I just replaced my WRT350N with a WRT600N. After install, my wired desktop cannot "see" in Network Places my other Desktops Shared Drive which has a Linksys WUS300N. This Desktop (with WUS300N) is able to access the internet wirelessly and all settings in router are default. In addition, my wired desktop can "see" all other G devices in "Network Places", but just can't "see" the WUS300N device in Network Places. Once I put the WRT350N back, all devices can be seen in Network Places. Shut down WRT600N, restarted all units, shut off/on sharing, turned firewalls off...no change
My wired desktop is Vista Premium 32 Bit
My wireless desktop is XP Home Edition

I replaced my WRT350N with the WRT600N too because of all the problems with the 350N and to have the dual band as most of my laptops have wireless N cards. I have not had any problems with this router other than only being able to access my USB Tera drive with my XP machines using ftp, if I try to search for it under network neighborhood as I do on my Visa machines and it only brings up default and it won't let my access my share that I created even with the user I created as an admin on the router to access the USB drive share, but since I can access it using ftp I am not concerned at all and otherwise this router is letting all my N wireless cards including the intel 4965N connect at 270Mbps all the time at the same time 3 other laptops that my kids use are connected too with wireless G cards, so I am a happy camper so far.

I can't see my removable device.

I have xfce4 interface installed and pretty much everything.
It runs smooth, and fine.
But today when I try to use my USB stick to transfer some files, I can't see the removable device (USB Stick) in my file manager. ( Looked in cd home, and filesystem.)
Can someone help me how to make my removable device to show up.
I even used this command # udevadm monitor when my usb was plugged in and when I remove it, i get message in the terminal saying "remove blah blah blah".
I believe my usb ports are working fine, but I dont know how to locate my usb stick folder.
Help is appreciated. And please I try searching on google plus even forums, and can't understand or find the solution for it.

This is the output I got when I typed "dmesg | tail -20"

I can't see my usb devices on my desktop.

i can't see my usb devices on my desktop. i tried to restart and re-plag but it doesn't show up. help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's normal. You have to set up Finder to show external drives on Desktop.
To do this, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "External disks"

Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager too

Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager and in control panel too

The phone is stuck in this mode because it needs to contact ATT's activation servers when you plug it into itunes. There is most likely a connection issue Firewall/Antivir software blocking certain connections/ports.
Common AV/Firewall programs that cause this issue: Norton, Mcafee, Zone Alarm, and CA (computer associates).
Unfortunately you cant fully "disable" these programs so its a matter of knowing how to configure them or remove them completely using their respective removal tools.
Otherwise, bring the phone to an Apple Retail Store or ATT store to have them activate it for you.
Hope that helps.

Can not see iphone

i plugged my friends iphone into my laptop, and although i can see it in iphoto and itunes, i can't see it on my desktop. any ideas?

Hello John,
That is normal behavior. The iPhone does not support "Disk Mode" like most iPods do, so it will not show up on the Desktop as a storage device.
Some additional information can be found in the iPhone User's Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
Take care,
Charles H.

How can I see my USB device in the measurement&automation explorer?

I'm trying to use an USB-device with LabView7.0.
I followed the manual "using NI-VISA3.0 to control your USB device" which I found on the NI-webpage.
I generated an .inf file using the VISA driver developement wizard and installed it in the INV folder of my system (I'm using Win2000).
The following problems occured: after I connect my USB device the "add new hardware wizard" pops up and aks for a driver for the new hardware. when I direct it to the folder with the generated .inf file it doesn't accept this file as a driver.
second: the USB device doesn't appear in the measurement&automation explorer. I assume that as long as my device doen't appear there it is not recognized by NI-VISA and the comm
unication from LV wouldn't work?
How can a make my USB device visible in the meas.&aut. explorer?
Regards
Tobias

Tobias,
In the VISA Driver Development Wizard, you are required to specify the Vendor and Product ID. These numbers are what Windows will use to determine whether a specific driver is appropriate for a given device. If these numbers do not match between your device and the Windows driver (INF file) that you generate, you will see the behavior that you describe. Check to make sure that you are using the appropriate values. Also, did you right click on the INF file and install it as directed in step 2.2.2?
Page 5-87 of the VISA Programmer's reference manual specifies how to do a viOpen to a USB device in RAW mode, but you still need the same sorts of Product ID and Mfg ID that you needed for the INF file generation. Furthermore, if you are communicating with
your instrument directly, you will need to know exactly what command set it expects, so make sure you get that from the manufacturer as well. Finally, I want to mention that if this device complies with the USBTMC standard, then none of this is necessary--the steps above are for setting up a RAW USB connection. See this link for information.
