Did you try the support article I posted...
On your iPhone try this...
Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Also try a Restart of your Mac.

  • My mac does not see my printer

    my mac does not see my printer

    Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless.  Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?

  • Mac can not see any printers.

    Mac can not see any printers.
    I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
    Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
    The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
    Thank you for your help,
    Darren D

    Hello ddelin,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Mac can not see time capsule

    i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
    It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

    You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem?  If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal.   A value closer to zero is stronger.  For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
    By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post.  Those can help people give you correct advice.  To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile".  Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.

  • Itunes / mac mini not seeing ipod

    When I plug my ipod into the mac mini (usb) my mac doesn't recognize or see it. That means I can't update any songs on my ipod from my itunes library. I've tried:
    - resetting the ipod,
    - uninstalling and reinstalling itunes,
    - plugging the ipod directing into the usb port on the mini base and the monitor usb port,
    - putting the ipod in disk mode and
    Still my mac does not see the ipod.
    Upgraded to iTunes 7.2 a few weeks ago. It's been working fine the last couple of weeks.
    Please - help!!!

    All I can think of:
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1481 bought new shuffle but mac does not see it why not?

    bought new shuffle but the mac does not see it in itunes please tell me why?

    My battery is not quite flush, but I use mine on soft surfaces (as I'm not supposed to), so I haven't noticed any rocking. Have you tried taking your battery out and trying to get a better fit?

  • Migration assistant screw up, Mac Pro not seeing wifi/TC

    Hi
    I've been using a MacBookPro (MBP) for almost 5 years now, with a 1TB Time Capsule (TC1) using Time Machine (TM). I am the sole user, HDD is 270Gb used/50Gb free; using Mavericks, v10.9.2. On Friday, I used Sophos anti virus home edition, to scan the MBP. It comes up with no threats identified, and I uninstall Sophos.
    Yesterday I took delivery of the Mac Pro (MP) with the 3Tb Time Capsule (TC3).
    I booted up the MP, with the TC3. I did not, at this stage, connect the TC3 to the internet. Using TM, I backed up the MP. TC3 flashes the amber light.
    Using Migration Assistant (MA) I tried to copy the MBP to the MP, 3 times. This did not work. At the point where the target machine has listed what is available to transfer, I click Continue and MA on the MP closes, on the MBP it says something like connection lost. The screen where this happens, lists 3 items available to transfer Application, Documents/Date and Computer settings; with a content of 128kb indicated, which is clearly wrong! The connection was an Ethernet cable direct from the MBP to the MP.
    At this stage, I decide to connect the MP to the internet using TC3, there's some settings to be changed on TC3 using Airport Utility and it connects ok. TC3 has a steady green light.
    I run 2 software updates on the MP. I surf the net briefly, to make sure it's ok.
    I try again to use MA. This time, the dialgoue box listing what's available to transfer is different. There are 2 or 3 more options, colour is present, the font is different, the box is about the same size. The MP would not let me take any screenshots as all other applications are closed when MA is running. I don't think it gave me the size of what was being transferred, but it looked more hopeful, so I Continue and the transfer starts, with an estimated time of 33 minutes.
    The transfer completes.
    The MBP, as you would expect, has not changed, the MP has, but not in the way I expected. Applications appear to have all transferred (without checking them), no Documents/data and no Downloads appear to have transferred; I ticked to transfer everything.;I know I can reconnect the Ethernet cable and simply copy the data across.
    But the main problem appears to be, the MP does not see the wifi.
    Ethernet cable is removed.
    The MP asks if I want to give permission to eeEvents manager (I presume calendar related) and say yes. It also asks if I want to install a Java run time, no.
    In System preferences/Network it tells me a new Thunderbolt bridge has been found and asks if it's ok, to accept it, yes. It tells me the Ethernet cable is disconnected, rightly so; it says Airport is not connected.
    I open Airport utility, no sign of the TC1 or TC3 despite it searching. Apart from TC1, the MP, MBP and TC3 are sat within a couple of feet of each other.
    I turn on TC1/TC3 (separately and not at the same time, then at the same time), but the MP does not see them. I've reset TC3, rebooted the MP and still the MP does not see it.
    I don't get any errors or warnings coming up.
    I think my next option is to try and reset the MP to the factory settings, but this won't work, as I've no internet connection to reinstall OS X. No disc is sent with the MP.
    Any suggestions as to what to try? Otherwise, I'll be off to the Apple Store tomorrow for a One to One!! :-(
    Thanks for any help and Happy Mother's Day!!  

    Take the MP and connect it via ETH to your main router.
    Restart the machine holding down command option R, you should see a spinning globe
    Open disk utility and reformat the MP HD as Mac journaled
    Then install OSX on this drive

  • Updated my iTunes and now my mac can not see my airport express no matter what I have tried

  • Something went wrong with iPad photo/Video import and now iPhoto on Mac does not see content.

    I just connected my iPad (4.3.2) to my mac (10.5). It launched the synch process for photos and videos and everything went fine. I then clicked on one of the newly imported photos in iPhoto and it choked and ultimately closed the app and gave me message along the lines of "iPhoto quit Unexpectedly." I rebooted the machine and when it came up went to look in iPhoto and saw that the new photos/video were not there. They are still on the iPad (Fortunately!) However when I reconnect the iPad to the Mac it does not see any content to import. In essence it seems to think it did the import and is not aware that it lost the content.
    There's a couple possible solutions I'm interested in. One, are the photos/video somewhere on the Mac and just need to be dug up? I nosed around a bit but found nothing. Then other solution would be is there some way to force iPhoto to reimport what's on the iPad, ignoring that it feels it's already done this?
    Thanks,
    Wil

    Where did these photos come from to begin with? Did you import them from the iPad into iPhoto on your Mac? Is that what you are saying here?

  • Windows can see iTunes Library, Mac can not see Windows library

    All,
    I'm having a bit of a dilemma here.. I think the following issues are sourced by the same root cause.
    First i can't not get my iphone remote.app to be recoginized by my Mac OSx desktop, it works fine with my windows desktop(they are plugged into the same router and settings look good here so I'm discounting the router as the cause). Yes I have made sure to give access to itunes in the Firewall settings
    Second, My windows machine can see my Mac's shared itunes library, yet my Mac machine can see my window's shared itunes library.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated!and thankyou!

    I had this problem recently, and it was because I had both the XP firewall enabled and the firewall included in my F-Secure client. Check your Windows machine to make sure you don't have such a firewall conflict.

  • 2 Mac can not see each other via airdrop under the same airport/timecapsule.

    I have 2 iMac in my home with a TImeCapsule (gen4).
    The wifi is on both 2.4G and 5G with the same SSID.
    iMac A is working on 2.4GHz, iMac B is working on 5GHz.
    So they can not see each other via airdrop, meanwhile they can see each other  in the left panel of Finder.app
    Is it a known issue of AirDrop?

    Hi Kirby Zhou,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you would like to utilize file sharing between computers, not necessarily AirDrop. Please refer to the attached article for information on the file sharing process. If this is not what you are looking for, please let me know.

  • HT2729 why cant I not see my movies on all my devices?

    Hallo - I have alot of products from Apple, I would like to ask: why can I not see my own movies on my Mac if they are stored on my MacBro? It looks loke I have two libraries! Plus I have an iPot and an iPhone!
    Thanks, Jon

    Assuming that these are purchased movies, you have to transfer the movies to the iPod Touch and to the iPhone by syncing with the MacBook Pro and you can transfer the movie from the MBP to the iMac via home sharing. Movies already stored on one device do not sync to your other devices from iCloud.

  • Why do I receive some text messages ONLY on my mac and NOT on both my phone AND mac?

    I have my iPhone linked to my messages app on my macbook pro. Often times incoming messages are only sent to my mac and NOT my phone. When I turn on my mac I see that I have missed several text messages. This didn't happen before I upgraded to the latest software for my phone.

    Have you checked to see which accounts are active on your Mac?

  • Why can                                             i not see voicemail on phone?

    can not see voicemail on screen/

    When I miss a call it doesn't show that I have a voicemail and when I try and hear voicemails it is empty. Also it is not my voice of the message.
