IMac doesn't see iPods/iPhone

It doesn't recognize any of these:
1 iPod Classic.
1 iPod touch.
1 iPhone 3G.
It doesn't appear in the Desktop, or Disk Utility, or iTunes. I connect any of these and nothing happens in the iMac or in the iPhone/iPods. No beeps, no hard drive noise, no nothing.
The problem isn't the cable, I've tested with different working cables and it doesn't work. The USB port works for everything else.
The iPhondes are recognized by other computers.
I think it might be some kind of a driver thing. If it helps to solve this, I don't see any iPod related process in the Activiy Monitor.
Already tried reinstalling iTunes, it didn't work.
Running Snow Leopard.

Hi frikova

    If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't see my iPhone to sync it

    I've been using my iPhone 3GS (OS 4) to run the Nike+ app, and have been syncing it nearly daily to my MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.11) after my runs. A few days ago when I tried to sync, the computer didn't recognize the iPhone was connected. I purchased a new cable and was able to upload the stored data yesterday with it, but today I have the same problem with both the new & old cables: the computer doesn't see my iPhone as even connected. Both the cables work when I plug them in to recharge the phone. I don't think the problem is the cable -- does anyone have any ideas about what to try next?

    You need to update your software to 10.5.8 at a minimum. That's your problem, 10.4.11 is no longer supported.
    See here:
    Mac system requirements
    * Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPhone anymore after upgrading

    After upgrading to 10.3.1.55, when I plug my iPhone into the PC, iTunes hangs up for a while and then fails with an error E8000065. After it iTunes doesn't see my iPhone. Previously all worked flawlessly. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, Allan, that's what I meant I've read almost all FAQs about that problem and executed all instructions step by step. No luck... All drivers & services are running Ok, the System log is free of errors, everything is looking fine... but doesn't work

    Your computer should recognize the Camera Roll only, as a digital camera. iTunes must recognize it for syncing and backup.

  • IMac doesn't "see" USB Flash drive on initial insertion

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac running Mavericks with a powered SIIG external USB hub. (Rear USB port design on iMac is inconvenient).
    Problem: When I insert a NTFS-formatted USB Flash drive into the hub, the light blinks as expected, but the iMac doesn't "see" it and it doesn't show up in "Devices".
    When I remove and re-insert the USB drive, the iMac then "sees" it just fine and it shows up in "Devices"
    Seeing this consistently.
    Any ideas what might be happening here?
    I also have Paragon NTFS installed to enable read/write to external NTFS drives.
    Thanks.

    I've tried 2 Anker 10 port hubs with my brand new iMac 27" Retina.  No storage device is recognized when connected via the hub.  The same storage devices are recognized when I plug directly into my iMac.  So there seems to be an issue from the iMac to the hub.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 doesn't see my iPhone 3G 4.0 on Windows 7 x64

    Hi everyone. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have been having this problem since I updated my iTunes to 9.2. The problem is I plug my phone in, and iTunes doesn't see it. After plugging it in, iTunes seems to struggle a bit, lags, before finally running smoothly again. The phone doesn't appear in iTunes, though my computer detects it and I can browse the photos like I always could. Any help is appreciated!

    yup same here
    its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
    only way round this i found is to do this:
    reboot windows
    and reboot iphone
    eventually they will see each other.
    what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
    but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

  • My computer doesn't "see" my iPhone when plugged in

    First, I have an iPhone 4. I have this new computer and I'm having to re-install all my software. When I click "Add files to library", I don't see my plugged-in iPhone in the list of drives, though I hear Windows 7 *bong* when I plug it in. I don't think this has happened before. Is there some setting I need to adjust or something? I can't transfer anything off my iphone if my computer won't even recognize it. I installed Flash and Java, but neither seem to have anything to do with this problem. Incidentally, I plugged in my external hard drive, and it got recognized fine. I also don't see the iPhone in Windows Explorer as an extra drive or anything.
    I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I got this error:The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I've been researching this issue for two days online. I've uninstalled/installed iTunes four times, and also installed the Gears software that I read was supposed to add drivers or whatever to fix this. That was a bust. I also can't get my computer to recognize my iPhone anymore - it doesn't show up in Windows Explorer or iTunes as a device that's been plugged in.
    I also went into the registry to add a file suggested at the following link, and rebooted - with zero success.

    All this is after I had to have a new hard drive reimaged. Before, I transferred between my iPhone and laptop fine. I've been at this for days now and I'm wasting tons of valuable time looking for a solution. To be honest, if I had known Apple's products were so hard to make function, I would have gone with an Android or Galaxy.

    My girlfriend had this same issue.  It ended up being her cable. 
    It was very weird and confussing as the first cable would allow the phone to show up on my laptop but not my girlfriends.  So we thought the cable was fine. 
    Further the first cable would allow the iPhone to sync with itunes on her laptop but not show up in her "My Computer." 
    By chance we tried a different cable and it worked fine on her laptop and instantly showed up in her "My Computer."
    All very weird but try a couple different cables and see if that fixes the problem first before resorting to other time consuming steps.
