I-Phone 3 G don´t show on desktop / Finder of Macbook Pro.

Hi all,
just a quick question: just bought a Macbook, all works fine, but when I connect my I-phone 3G, I-tunes recognizes the phone no problem but the I-phone doesn´t show up in finder, nor as an icon on the desktop. In my preferences I have the option "show I-pod in Finder" enabled however.
It´s no big deal, I´d just like to know whether this is normal or not.
Cheers!!
Not a Clue.

Yes, it's normal. The iPhone and iPod Touch don't have a disk mode (or a real hard disk, only a flash-based disk) and will not show up in the finder like older iPods.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I lost my phone and I don´t have the app find my iphone

    I lost my phone and I don´t have the app find my iphone

    You don't need the App but you must have turned on "Find My iPhone" in Settings > iCloud.
    If you have "Find My iPhone" enabled then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • When I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    when I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    I got the problem solved. It was pretty simple but new to me. I had evidently inadvertently switched the setting in the "View" tab on the dropdown menu so that all of my desktop folders were populated by all folders/documents residing on the desktop.
    The solution was to open one of the folders, then go to the "View" tab and change the setting to "List." Presto, now all the folders include only the contents I had intentionally loaded into them.

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

    Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

    No, Safari on the iPad is a fairly basic browser and with iOS 5 it now uses tabbed browsing and not the thumbnail/page view as on previous iOS versions (which only showed your open pages and not top sites).

  • I am in the market for a laptop, but I don't know whether to buy a Macbook Pro or a windows laptop

    I am going to buy a laptop in the next month and I don't know whether to buy a Macbook pro with retina display 13 inch or a windows laptop. I like the simplicity of apple but windows can run more games like minecraft or league of legends.

    Hi Bueaucoop17,
         The computer I would probably recomend for you is a Macbook Pro. I love windows for gaming, but they are not as simplistic and easy to work on as Mac's. I recently bought a standard 13-inch MacbookPro six months ago and I game on it a lot. I run Minecraft and League of Ledgends all the time as well as Team Fortress 2, Garys Mod, etc. and always get arround 60 fps. If you have 2 more years of high school and all of colege ahead of you I would recomend a Mac over Windows any day for work.
         Cost can be a factor, though. A base model 13-inch Macbook Pro starts at around $1,000, while a basic 15-inch Windows laptop starts arround $500.
    Hope this helps ,

  • E72-1 Some Phone book Contacts don't show up while...

    Hello users,
    So i came along with a very odd kind of error while using my E72-1 .Since I am a new user of this phone, do tell me if am wrong somewhere.
    So the problem is like when i try to forward some message to multiple recipients i type the first few letters of their name in the phone book search box. SO i found out that there are some contacts that don't show up in the list if u don't add their name at the first place in the recipients list. To add them as recipient i have to go back to the message and again select add recipient and then type their name to search. And this time the contact can be seen. this going back and forth for adding contacts is annoying. Instead i wanted to select the recipients in one go by checking the boxes beside the contacts in the list.
    Please help me with this bug..and if i'am missing out on something do point me out.
    thank you.

    I would reset your pone a million times, you also probably have too many contacts, you need to use the phone correctly, and you need to change it.
    Apart from that you could create contact groups and add whichever contacts to those.
    That's humor for all You folks, it doesn't get any better then this!

  • Disk icons or any other icons don't show on desktop.

    After a power failure, disk icons or any other icons don't appear on desktop, and desktop doesn't respond to mouse clicks?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process (Finder.) The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

    I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other.  They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports.  So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

  • Crucial m4 256 GB internal SSD not showing in disk utility on MacBook Pro a1226 (late 2007) 2.4 ghz.

    After the original Fujitsu 160gb hd died in my MacBook Pro (model A1226), I was advised at the Mac store to upgrade to a SSD.  I installed the crucial m4 256gb internal SSD and powered on MacBook Pro from the Snow Leopard install disk so I could use disk utility to erase and reformat the new SSD.
    The problem is the SSD is not showing up in disk utility.  I have opened the computer twice and checked cable connections and still no luck.  I have powered off computer and let sit for a while and tried again.  I check compatability on crucial site before ordering SSD so I don't know what the problem is.  Bad disk?

    You were given bad advice.
    Return/Sell the SSD and buy a 7,200 RPM hard drive instead, it should work fine and a more of a match for your older machine.
    Your Mac doesn't have the faster SATA connections for a SSD also 10.6 isn't equipped for SSD's only hard drives, your basically putting a Ferrari engine in a Yugo, it can't handle it.
    The 7,200 RPM drive will give you the performance and more drive space than a SSD anyway.
    Follow these instructions when you erase and install 10.6, it will give the best results.

  • QMaster only showing 1 instance for i5 macbook pro

    QMaster is only showing 1 instance for core i5 macbook pro. This is a dual core i5.
    So still, I can only use one core. It only shows 50% of the preocessor being used and 50% is Idle in Activity monitor.
    Long render times. Like 18 hours of render for 90 minutes of video 720 HD in Compressor.
    So when I press "Share" for Compressor in QMater the "Options for Selected Service" is greyed out and only set to 1 instance.
    Thanks

    OK so back to Compressor. I am using Compressor and it is only USING 50% of the computer according to my Activity Monitor. Any thoughts?
    When I look at my Windows computer it has a duel core system as well and uses 98% of the the processor according to its' monitor.
    If you can't think of anything, that's cool, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. Just wanting to chit chat. I don't really think I need to get a hulk deskop computer when Apple advertises that I can upgrade to a Quadcore (8 virtual core) macbook pro and be fine with that. Although I am using just the i5 duel core right now.
