IPhone 3g sync problem... ipod works fine, iPhone not recognised.
Hello,
I guess this may be a hardware problem but I could really do with some advice. I have an IPhone 3g which i sync to my Imac (using itunes 9.1.1). Every now and again i have had problems with itunes not recognising my phone but normally after a reboot (phone/imac) it would work fine. On one occasion the reboot didn't work and I I had to reinstall itunes.
Now i have the same problem but none of my previous fixes work... I cannot sync my iPhone at all. It doesn't charge from the USB (although it does from the mains) and doesn't show up as a device in iPhoto. Its just not there! I have tried syncing my old iPod which works fine - which makes me think its the phone is causing the problem. Everything else on the phone itself works fine.
Any ideas, hints or tips...
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did this yesterday and had no joy... so i thought i would try it again before posting that I had done it and to my surprise this time it has worked.
Great that it is fixed but i guess going through this process shouldn't be a normal operation? Is there a fault with my iPhone or is it simply a bug in iTunes that needs a re-install to fix? I imagine it will happen again in a few weeks time so am hoping for a more permanent fix.
Thanks again

Iphone Webclips Icon Problem (One works, one does not)
I have two websites with two different hosts. One is Teamkong.net and the webclip I created works fine. The other one is d2football.com and the webclip does not work. I did them the same, put them in the same place and one works and the other one does not. Has to be a server setting or something, right? Suggestions are appreciated.
Here is the instructions I followed do the process:
http://vjarmy.com/archives/2008/01/h...clip_icons.phpthat link doesn't work, so cannot really tell you.
But can say this you should have a reference to it in page and not rely on it just finding it by name as icons such as it and favicons for browsers, rely on finding them at the root...and your provider may be giving you a URL that makes it look like you are at your own root, but in reality you are on a shared server with other sites all subsites off a real root thus cannot be found.
So add a reference to it to your pages like this
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/traffic.png"/>
Add that to your head section and replace the name of the file.
Can see it working at one of my simple webapps for traffic cameras where I live at http://vcreations.net/traffic/
Doing it at the page level also allows you to control a bit more each page if you want. -
Flashplayer was working fine, then not recognised when I switch on my computer again
Websites tell me I haven't got the correct version of Flash player installed (I've never had any problems and have always been able to play videos). I uninstall Flash player following the instructions on the Adobe website and then install the correct version (after changing my internet security settings). Then videos work perfectly. When I switch my computer on the next day, it says I don't have the correct version of Flash player installed again. I reinstalled it again, and everything was fine again. Now today it says I haven't got any the right version again.
Please help!

My Audi is set up to be iPod compatible. For the first two years of the cars' life, my ipod worked fine. When it went out, I had the dealer replace the connection wire and check the system. My car now works fine with iphones and others' ipods, but not mine. I tried rebooting it and powering down, but nothing has worked to get the car to recognize the ipod. Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on the matter. Many thanks.
So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem. -
About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?
It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.

My iphone 5 seems to be stuck in the horizontal view when I'm in the message mode. In all other views I can turn the phone 90 degrees and horizontal to vertical works fine. Not sure what the problem is.
I found a solution!
Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/120259/grey-screen-after-login-blue-scr een-of-death-from-cmdr
As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
3. Next was a restart.
4. Then my display started working again.
5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
I hope this helps the next person. -
Hi I am using an iphone 4 and its was working fine. Presently its giving browsing error. Whenever I am trying to browse internet by using safari or any other browser it retruns with an error message "server not responding" Even the same thing is happening with youtube also. The worst part is am able to check my mails, able to chat and so on... only thing not able to browse through the browser. I have tried restore option also. This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
Please help...I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
If you are on your own #G network then:
Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.

I cannot send MMS from an iphone 5 - some people it works others do not receive it. MMS is turned on and i have tried to reset phone etc - still same problem.
Are the messages successfully sent?
If so, what happens to a message after it is successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message. -
My problem I worked updated iPhone 3 gs (ios4) to version (ios6), and when operating the device required to activate the phone and therefore appears to me aftermarket says (IMEI 01 216 300 555 018 3 ) ICCCID unknown.
There is no network
I hope that I showed you my problemThat's a critical failure. It can not be fixed. It is usually the result of jailbreaking or hacking the phone to unlock it.

I have two ipod nanos. And i have 2 itunes accounts and we are accessing both accounts from the same PC. One of my ipod works fine, it gets detected as a device and sync fine. The other one does not. Anyone knows what this may be?
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one. -

Extras notes --- iPod works fine in iTunes, but doesn't show up in Windows
Hi all!
Gotta wierd situation.
My iPod works fine in iTunes.
I have had 'Enable for Disk Use' enabled for a long time. However, my iPod doesn't show up under My Computer on WinXP.
I'd like to add some new Notes and remove some old ones, but you have to do that thru Windows, not thru iTunes.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?hi marky!
i noticed one thing. the iPod is formated as FAT32, but i have my HD in NTFS. could this be related?
no, that one's normal. we need to leave her as FAT32. see:
iPod no longer plays music after formatting or partitioning the hard disk
hmmmmm. it's like the "enable disk use" setting is just refusing to stick for you.
but maybe we've got a window of oppportunity while it's doing that initial sync. the rules seem to be different for you then.
maybe try switching enable disk use off. then eject her, and plug her back in again (while you've got itunes already running).
the second she shows up in the itunes sourcelist, try diving into the preferences tab, and re-enabling disk use.
(i checked, and it's possible for me to do this with attractive beast ... hoping here that doing the "enable disk use" under these circumstances might get it to stick for you.)
love, b
