I can no longer tether my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Air?

I upgraded iTunes over the weekend and now I cannot tether my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Air. Prior to the weekend it has always worked a treat. Can anyone help? I am new to Mac so keep it simple please. David

Can I use find my iPhone to find my MacBook Air?

I have my iPhone in "find my iPhone, but I would like to find my MacBook Air also. Is there a way to do that?

Yes, you can do that. First, you need to set up Find My Mac:

Then you can locate the Mac (presuming it's connected to a network and hasn't had the service turned off by some means) either from a web browser or from the app on your iPhone:

How do I transfer a large video (31minutes) from my Iphone 5s to my macbook air?

I have tried importing a large video (31 minutes long) from my Iphone 5s to my Macbook Air through iphoto but it keeps getting rejected.
I keep receiving this message "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
Please guide me on how to proceed.

Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac? I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.

You might have better luck in the iTunes for Windows community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

After the latest update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column - how do you get to where you can pick

After the latest itunes update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column. How can I get to the section where I can pick & choose apps etc to be synced?
Also I had to get a new iPhone & so I backed up the night before to the cloud & my computer. When I tried to restore from back up with the new phone my back up wasn't there - shouldn't it be automatic via wifi from the cloud?
What am I doing wrong?

Your iphone is shown at the top of the page.
You can also simply click View>Show Sidebar and it will look about the same as it did before.

what happened to iTunes 10.6 aren't Lion 10.7.3 compatible with it?!
Completely compatable, I just upgraded my iPhone through it yesterday. But as these are the Lion Forums, you may be better places posting this in the iPhone Forums as well.
Good Luck

I moved the mobilesync path where my backups should be stored. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone. How do I fix this?

A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

Howdy there mjspace1994,
It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use iCloud with 10.6.8, you need 10.7.2 or better.

I am running an older machine OS 10.6.8. I can no longer snyc my iphone. It tells me to download the latest itune which I don't seem to be able to do. Someone told me that my OS is too old. True?

You can use the latest iTunes (11.1.3) on 10.6.8 - if Software Update doesn't provide it (which it should) then you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

UK service provider can no longer unlock my iPhone for US use, and US service providers and Apple store say that only my UK service provider can unlock this phone. Help!

I bought this iPhone while backpacking through Europe 2 years ago. It was the first thing i did after i got off the airplane to help me navigate, book hostels, trains, flights, and talk with family back home. it cost me around 700-800 US dollars, full price since they do pricing/contracts different over in the UK.
It's been a couple years, and I'm ready to ditch my 6 year old Samsung and move on to this iPhone. The problem is, since i wasn't using the UK service for a while, they dropped my number/user account completely and they can no longer unlock my iPhone. I talked to AT&T and the Apple store, and they said that the only way I can unlock my iPhone is by contacting the service company that i originally purchased this from--whom can't help since i no longer have an account with them.
How do i LEGALLY unlock this iPhone for use in the US?

Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.
You may have to get a PayAsYouGo sim from that provider to activate
your account with them so you can get the iPhone unlocked.
There is not other legal way to unlock the iPhone for use with other than
the wireless carrier to which it is locked. Contact them to see what options
they offer for re-activating the iPhone on their network.

TS3694 Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad. iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started". I'm on w7x64, updated.

I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
Thanks!

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions. If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again. They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why. They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account. It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there? That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.
