Iphone not allowing playback on mac
Hi all, When I connect my iphone to mac all music appears but it is in faint print and will not allow me play, create playlists or add music. any suggestions
FergusThe iPhone does not allow playback through your Mac.
You can create playlists in iTunes and sync your music through iTunes.
You can opt to manually manage your music and videos to drag them to your iPhone.
Here's where to get the User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf -
Bought new computer , now iPhone not allowing sync of music , how do I reset?
Bought a new pc desk top , now iPhone not allowing sync of music , (ie import new playlists with imported CD) how do I reset?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

My wife and I have 2 new iPhones and also have a mac book pro and an iMac. How can we share apps, music and contacts between all these?
Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new... -

Pictures on iphone not showing up on mac pro
Just purchased a new iphone. when I take a picture using the phone and then go to my mac book pro. it's not showing up on my mac book pro in my photos. thought the automatically pushed to lap tops and ipads?? I have plugged in the phone after taking picture and have uploaded icloud.

thought the automatically pushed to lap tops and ipads??
Your MBPro must be running v10.7.2 Lion in order to use iCloud. You must setup an iCloud account in order to sync photos.
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Even though your iPhone is new, make sure the software is up todate.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update. The most recent version is 5.0.1 -
New iPhone not listed as a device on iTunes
The one sentence answers to similar questions on here don't help me much so... My iPad 2 shows up as a device on iTunes 11. When I connect the new iPhone 5 via USB it is also there but unlike the iPad it will not show up on iTunes wirelessly and yes it does shows a wireless connection. All the settings appear the same as far as I can see. I'm obviously missing something. Any ideas what it might be? This isn't a huge problem but more of a puzzle which in my 20+ years with Apple I usually figure out eventually. Help from the collective wisdom on here always helps the solution process however.

When i synced my new iphone to my pc i clicked the wrong button - instead of restoring it from my old phone's last backup i clicked set up as new iphne - now it appears all my old texts and my notes have gone. Any ideas how I can get them back?
When you plug it into iTunes - it will show on the left side of the screen. Right click on it, and you will have a list of restores to use. Pick the one you want, and it will pull all of that data. It worked on mine...

New iphone not showing up in itunes?
Okay, so my computer is apparently having a problem. I've had an iphone with itunes since November. It went on the fritz the other day so I was told by an apple rep to uninstall itunes and install the newest version. This didn't work so I had to go to the apple store, and they gave me a brand new iphone. Soooo, now when I plug this new iphone into itunes (v. 7.6.1.9) it doesn't even show up in itunes. However, I do get a message in itunes saying "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." What gives? This is a brand new phone that they activated at the apple store. ALSO, when I plug it into a friends itunes (older version) it shows up with no problems. Is it some bug with the newest version of itunes possibly? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
RobertMy first assumption from the details you have given...your USB port is on the fritz.
Did you try all ports?
Or, did you use your cable or your friends cable when tried on his machine. If not yours, then could also be your cable.

DB new connections not allowing...
Hi,
when we are running the RMAN backup. DB is not allowing new connections.
we are getting the err ORA-12500 TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process. Existing connections are working fine.
How can i resolve this, Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Thomas.Hi,
Is your DB running with Shared Server option? If so, then you will need to create another tnsnames to accept dedicated connections and connect using that name.
RMAN needs to be connected using a dedicated connection.

any idea how to fix?
Message was edited by: lochtefeldDisk Utility MAY or MAY NOT help
It depends on a few things.
1. Is the disk over heating, IF so then you need to wait for it to cool off.
2. If its a bad cable (using a USB 1.1 cable with a 2.0 drive, broken internally, etc) then you may want to try a new cable.
3. If its a file system issue then Disk Repair may fix it but if its serious then you may want to use DiskWarrior.
DiskWarrior has saved my drive several times!
I would recommend trying the following in this order. -
New iPhone not showing up in Find my iPhone
Hi, I recently got a new iPhone because I lost my previous, and I was pretty sure I set up the new device to Find my Iphone. I lost my phone again and when looking it up on the app, the old device shows up and my new phone is now lost. I don't think I messed up when registering the device. Any help would be appreciated.
Make sure you are sign in with the iCloud ID the missing phone was using. If you are and it isn't listed on the devices list, there isn't much you can do except physically look for it or try calling your number to see if someone answers.
