Ipad not being recognized on my Mac laptop
My Ipad Mini, (just purchased today) is not being recognized on my Mac computer under Devices in the Finder. We also bought a IPod Shuffle and it is recognized. I followed another person's advice from this forum and reloaded the Ipad, but it is still not recognized. I want to move some Epub books to my Ipad, but cannot do this since it's not recognized. I downloaded the Bluefire Reader as was suggested in the forum, but, again, the Ipad is not recognized on my laptop in order to move the books.
It won't appear in Finder, it's not designed to mount as a drive, content is synced via your Mac's iTunes. If it's not being recognised in your Mac's iTunes then there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
You should be able to copy books to that app by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then option-command-S should get the sidebar to appear), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen selecting the Apps tab and scrolling down it to the file sharing section : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
If you've already directly downloaded some apps or other content onto the iPad then you may also find this page useful for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My Iphone 5c is not being recognized by my Mac computer. I have done all of the upates, restarted several times and I'm not sure what else to do. I have searched and searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Also, my Iphoto can not be updated. I'm still using version 8. something, and it won't update without this update and that update. It needs 9.0 but I can't find that download anywhere. The only one that I can find is 9.1. That won't update. Is there anything that I can do, or should I just bite it and take it to apple to get looked at?
Does iTunes not see the phone?
If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos. -

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

IPads not being recognized when using apple configurator software
I have an iPad cart with 25 iPad's. I am using a MacBook Air and the apple configurator software to try to manage the iPad's. The problem is, only 21 of the 25 iPads will show up in the apple configurator "prepare" section. All of the iPads are not being recognized. When I use a MacBook Pro all 25 iPad's will show. So the problem seems to be with the MacBook Air and/or Apple Configurator. Any suggestions? We have 30 carts total with some having up to 30 iPads so I am trying to find a fix for this.
This seems to be an issue related to the new 2013 MacBook Air models. I've seen it pop up a few times now, and the common factor is always a 2013 MacBook Air.
A "solution" doesn't seem to exist yet. The workaround at this point would be to either use any older Mac to do the syncing, or only connect and sync half of the devices at a time. -
My external hard drive that I use as a backup is not being recognizedc by my MAC PRO. Usually I get the icon for the backup, when I attach it to my computer, but that isn't happening. What can I do?
Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
Thanks.I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results. -
IPhone and iPad not being recognized by iTunes
Hi All,
I had a late 2007 macbook pro that developed a line across the screen where everything below it was gray. At first it was a simple 'wiggle of the screen' fix, then it evolved into a 'put a bag clip on the side', then it became a 'put a bag clip on the side and wiggle it to find the perfect spot'. My friend (who has the exact same model bought 3 days apart at the same location) upgraded to a macbook air and gave his old computer to me so I'd have a working screen again. He had updated the computer to lion before giving it to me (I had snow leopard). I had the HD's swapped as well as my ram (as I had 4 vs 2gbs). Now the computer is having some serious issues. When I plug in my iphone or ipad it isn't recognized in iTunes, I did notice its recognized in iPhoto but won't actually bring up any of the pictures... just shows that they exist (but are blank). Google Chrome crashes now everytime I use a command to open a tab or close a window etc. I've also noticed that programs are taking 15-30 seconds to open and I'm getting a lot of spinning wheels. Everything is updated and I've tried re-installing snow leopard and the programs that are being affected. And that's all I've noticed so far, but its only been 24 very frustrating hours.
I'd go to apple but all the products are out of service so there won't be any help there. My friend had none of these problems before giving me the computer and took meticulous care of it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?? I'm having a hard time trying to understand how swapping a HD could possibly cause all these problems.
Thanks a bunch,
EvanThank you allan this worked, the final thing was updating the driver softwar for the AMDS in device manager. Thanks again.

Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .
I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM. It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works. I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data. However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync. In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
UPJI would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync. It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.
Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.
--Sam
P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs. -

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.
