Connecting a device
when i plug in my phone itunes is not recognizing my phone.
There were 4 Android 3.0 tablets, an ipad 2 and a Playbook. all of them are in full working order.
have tried ALL of them and only the iPad 2 can "see" my Nokia E5.
so, its either:
1. the Sony tablet that i saw was a non-production/display model only (that is not the "final" one and if it was then Curry's can be sued for displaying a non-final version of the tablet)
or
2. my Joikuspot app is not working (but i did checked and it was!)
or
3. Android Honeycomb simply isn't designed to connect to an adhoc wifi (like with my E5 with Joukuspot)
so, what shall i do? i havn't heard of any good answer here yet.
i would appreciate and i would like to know as i don't want to waste £400 on a tablet that doesn't really function well.
please advice...
Thank you.

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

THis is what I did, but when I get to sync, it won't sync.....what do I doLynnLynn
Preparation
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
If this device contains contacts or calendar items that are not already on the computer you are using, and that you wish to recover, then make sure you have at least one contact & one event in the applications that will sync with the device (e.g. Windows Address Book or Outlook under Windows, iCal & Address Book on a Mac).Dummy entries will do, but there must be at least one if the data is to be retrieved from the device in step 7 below.
Transfer purchases
You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases into a new library, after connecting the device, with the menu itemFile > Transfer Purchases from <Device>. You should be prompted to authorize the computer to your iTunes account if you have not already done so. If your device holds content from more than one account you will need to authorize each one.
See also: HT1848 - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
Back up (iOS only)
If this is an iOS device you should now right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Back Up to make a backup of the current settings and application data on the device.
Recover other media
iTunes only permits the transfer of iTunes Store purchases. If your device contains other media that you've ripped from CD or downloaded from other online stores you can either go back to the original sources or use third party software to extract your data from your device. There is a list of some of the software available below.
Recover other purchases
Your device may not have held all your iTunes Store purchases. You can recover qualifying purchases from your account by visiting the home page of the iTunes Store and clicking on the Purchased link in the Quick Linkssection in the right-hand column.
See also: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Restore (iOS only)
Having backed up your device, and rescued all the media from it that you can, you should now restore the device from the backup that you took earlier to ensure that the device is properly associated with this new library. Right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Restore from Backup...
Sync
Set up your preferences for syncing Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Info etc. then click Sync. For a device that holds calendar or contact information you should be prompted to restore or merge. Click merge to copy this information into your computer. Your device is now properly associated with your new library and you shouldn't have lost any data.
Backup your library
For the future you should backup your library to a separate hard drive or network share as restoring a backup is much easier than the process above. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy gives a suggested way of doing this effectively for Windows users. Mac owners can make use of Time Machine, or useCarbon Copy Cloner which does a similar job to SyncToy.This is the ipod touch forum.

I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad. I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.
I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

The iTunes on my desktop is no longer recognizing any of my devices (iPads, iPods, or iPhones). I am unable to sync. And when I connect a device I am asked on the device if I "Trust this Computer". When I hit "Trust" nothing happens. Help?

ITunes no longer starts automatically whwn I connect my devices
Hi there,
This is a small problem, but an annoying one. Before updating to iTunes 10.5 (and my devices to iOS5), iTunes used to start up when I connected any one of my apple devices (iPod Classic/iPod nano/iPad/2 x iPhones) and start syncing automatically. Now I have to start iTunes manually, and although my iPhone/iPod/iWhatever is listed under 'Devices' in the sidebar on the left, I have to click the sync button myself.
I know, I know – small potatoes compared with the problems of others, but a little bit annoying. I used to love it when I connected my device and iTunes did exactly what I wanted without me doing anything.
Thanks in advance!Hi Michael
Thanks for the link to the tip!
In that link Nick Holmes said that the iTunesHelper app was to be fount in the contents of the iTunes app, in the folder Contents>Resouces. As it turns out it was in 'Contents>MacOS'
I wonder if there was a change in the location of the iTunesHelper when it switched from iTunes 10.4.x to 10.5, because although iTunesHelper was in my Login items, it wasn't working.
To cut a long story short, I removed iTunesHelper from my loginitems, re-added it using the instruction in your link and rebooted - hey presto, it worked!!!
So thanks to you, and well done for crediting Nick Holmes. I'll send some positive vibes his way... -

My Apple Computer says "Connecting to Device." I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600
I have a Mac with iOS Yosemite with a Officejet Pro 8600, all of a sudden I open the program and it stays on teh screen that says "Connecting to Device"
Help. I can't open the program to scan. I can still print though, I'm not sure if that's due to the cord connected or the fact that I still have it hooked up to wifi
Please help
ThanksHi @Smoove
I can't say for certain what is causing the issue at this point, but I would be happy to help you figure it out, and more importantly, resolve the issue.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you.

Can't connect wireless device to airport extreme
I bought airport extreme router second hand and am connecting it to HP desktop windows 8. All software is installed properly and router is connected. I have a solid green light, and internet access on desktop, but cannot connect wireless devices to network (kindle, cell phone, etc.) All wireless devices show excellent network signal strength, allow me to put the password in, but all show connected and have not internet access.
This appears to be a simple modem, so assuming that you reset the modem completely before you connected it to the AirPort Extreme, the next step would be to check to insure that the AirPort is in router mode and not bridge mode.
Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, and then click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
Click the Internet Connection tab just below that
Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP address
Click Update to save any changes, and give the AirPort a full minute to restart
Check the network again to see if devices can connect now. -
I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side. How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?
First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub. -

"please connect your device" when it is connected
*Sigh*
Here I go again. I want to do something with that phone and I spend 3h of my life searching for solutions about every occuring problem and get nothing done. And finally I hit the rock bottom...again.
BB Curve 8520
So I have no other way to download apps or games or whatever from the phone itself, because my Opera is an old version. I want to update it by downloading new version, but I can't, because I have the old one..the brutal BB circle.
So I downloaded BB desktop manager, synced all I could sync, because of random errors...why not. And I go to the Appworld site and try to download stuff.
Of course, I'm using Chrome and I can do sh*t, so I was forced to use the nerve breaking IE. And there it goes: I go to mini Opera, with the latest version that I need. I click on download, the page loads for like half a minute, because of IE, and finaly it wants from me to click the Begin Sync button, that doesn't exist and it says: "Please connect your device"..............
It is connected **bleep** it. What am I doing wrong? Why is this so hard every time? I actually can't remember ever instaling something beside a game a few years ago, when afterwards my BB Desktop manager started to crash, FOR NO REASON. I went with another phone of course, but a few months ago I was stuck with my old BB.
Of course I spent some time roaming google for solutions, and all I found was dead threads with no actual solutions. Suppport.
I went to the **bleep** Opera site and tried to directly download this app but there is no way to do that!
http://www.opera.com/mobile ???? How ???? Browsed about 10 other sites, all reconnecting me with this one. This is bullsh*t!
The only reason I didn't melt this peace of Modern machinery into something ugly is because it's a Gift from a very special person, who appearantly want's me to anger myself now and then with unneccessarily things.
P.S. To dodge useless replies, the error from the sync I was doing was (and still is)"cradsdatabase error 5211". I have no idea how could that effect the main problem, but I met that idea somewhere on the webz.
Thank you!Hey, Im having the same problem here.
