IPhone 4 not recoginized on Win7 or OSX but iPhone 3gs is???

iPhone 4 iOS v4.2.1 can't connect to both my windows 7 and osx machines when connected with a usb cable, my iPhone 3GS connects and works fine on both machines so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my iPhone 4 and not the computers, I tried doing a power off/on on the iPhone 4 and a reset on the computers and that didn't change anything, what other things can I try?
Also, my iPhone 4 used to connect just fine to both computers a few weeks ago last time I tried, now it doesn't.

Still having the problem and have noticed some other issues: when I connect the charging cable via the outlet, the phone does not switch to 'charge status', its as if it weren't plugged in at all, no notification, sound, or changing of the battery icon. Even though this happens the phone is still being charged but at a VERY slow rate, after leaving it plugged in for 5 hours it went from like 35% to 60%, I had to leave it in all day long (12 hours) to get it back up to 100%. A few weeks ago when it was behaving normally it would usually fully charge from 10% to 100% in 2-3 hours.

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

I just purchased an Iphone 5 and i cannot sync it because I'm not able to update my itunes because I'm not able to update to Osx 10.7?

Apple is selling Mac OS X 10.6 on their online store, and 10.7 by phone. The latest version of iTunes requires 10.6.8 or newer.

MBA Mid 2012 - Bootcamp Win7: Headset Mic not recognised in Win7

Hi,
I have a MBA 13" (only had it about a week...). I put bootcamp on and Win 7 x64 ultimate. All is working really well except when I plug my headset in, Win 7 only recognised the headphones.
I have tried this in OSX and the mic work, its an Iphone compatible headset, so not only does the mic work but the volume buttons on headset work also. However, when I plug this in when in Win 7, no external Mic is detected.
Any ideas? I've tried reinstalling the Bootcamp audio drivers, no change. Unable to locate any online either...Cirrus Logic CS4206b (AB 86).
I have seen a few of these posts online, but from about 2 years ago... has this been fixed yet?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The issue is with Windows, but it appears to be due to OSx drivers from bootcamp, that does not detect both input and output from the headphone jack. There are no drivers required, I have used this headset on various other Win7 x64 machines.
As above, it works fine in OSx, it is just that bootcamp drivers for the soundcard do not include that the hardware on my MBA allows both input and output from the same jack. Ms dont supply drivers for Bootcamp.
Thanks.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

Problem transferring old iPhone 3GS to new phone 5S using computer. The iMac which I've been using to back up 3GS for years does not seem to recognize the 5S. No setup assist is coming on screen so I can't begin the transfer. Any ideas for this?

I'm on a dell d620 laptop, about 5 or so years old or more. I was on XP and things worked fine until I some random windows update from the auto-updater installed and I had issues. Thinking this would not happen on Win7 and wanting to upgrade anyway I went to Win7 and I still have the same issue, except I dont: now Itunes doesn't stall it just doesn't see the iphone and try to synch. It would stall at synching. I read somewhere to delete podcasts which I did which I think worked itunes doesn't see the phone. Windows does and I can see and transfer photos and movies but no itunes syncing.
thanks guys for the help,

IPhone 3gs not being recognized by iTunes on Win Vista 64?

I feel like I've tried everything I can but I know i'm missing something here. I noticed it yesterday that when I plug in my iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognizethe phone and therefore will not sync with it.
I've tried to reinstall iTunes with no luck. I've gone into device manager and removed all references to the iPhone and reinstalled the drivers with no luck. I've plugged my phone into another computer and it immediately tried to sync with my phone so I think that would lead me to believe that there isn't an issue with my iPhone but with my computer and windows.
I'm not sure what else to do but would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks!

In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
So give it a try.

How can I sync my notes from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro?

How can I sync my Notes from the iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1 to my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.2?

The most straightforward way (assuming your iPhone 3GS is running iOS 6, which it should be) is to use iCloud to house your contacts.
Then it would be trivial to have your contacts synced and maintained between your MacBook Pro and your iPhone.
P.S.: Sorry, I said contacts but meant notes. iCloud would work for both.

Iphone 3GS not detected by Xcode

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone or my computer. My phone is not being detected by Xcode and does not appear in the organizer. When I plug it in iPhoto opens automagically and sees the phone, but nothing appears in Xcode.
It worked just fine a few days ago, my provisioning profile was set up and I was happily testing apps on the device. I have not changed or updated Xcode since, the phone simply stopped appearing.
I've tried the following (in increasing order of desperation):
Restart Iphone;
Restart Xcode;
Restart computer and phone;
Open Xcode in 32-bit mode;
Delete existing provisioning profile in Xcode;
Restore Iphone from Itunes (on another computer than the one i'm using for development);
Switch USB ports;
Confirm I'm using the original Apple USB cord;
Google furiously for answers;
Things I haven't yet tried:
Restore Iphone without restoring backup afterwards (will probably try next, but would be a hassle.);
Borrow another Iphone to test on this computer;
Give up & get an Android phone;
I'm using an Iphone 3GS running iOS 4.0.2, Xcode 3.2.3, on OSX 10.6.3.
Any help or insight would be much appreciated,
Owen

This seems to be a software issue.
Removing & reinstalling Xcode solved it.
Frustrating, but solvable.

ITunes on Win7 and iPhone 3GS Apps frozen - grayed out - Why?

I use my iPhone 3GS via iTunes on my Win7 desktop, and when I load the iTunes 64 bit software (ver10.4.1.10) it can see the iPhone, and GRAYS OUT installed apps, which I can not move or re-arrange. I had trouble downloading purchased Apps until I went to my iPhone Update button and installed them from the Purchased bar. When I 'Synch' the iPhone to iTunes, it only goes through a very quick 'Step 1 of 4' and then stops. All this after I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled iTunes, so what's on the PC is the most current version. That version also says my iPhone software is 100% current, and the iPhone firmware reports it is running 05.16.02.   For some reason, iTunes reports multiple copies of the (very few) music MP3s I put on the phone ... I hardly ever use the iPhone for music - it's a tool - not a toy.
Bottom line: my iTunes software is mostly frozen - I can't move or arrange apps - and I have lots of downloaded data (thank God for GoodReader!) and carefully managed work related Apps on my iPhone. I'd had to have to 'reformat' or 'restore' the iPhone which I think would strip the iPhone bare. Can anyone help?    Thanks, in advance ~

By the way - on a similar posting (frozen icons etc) someone suggested that the iPhone Restrictions might be the problem - they have to be turned OFF - isn't a fix here. My iPhone Restrictions have not been turned 'on'. See:   https://discussions.apple.com/message/11085451#11085451 - that didn't 'FIX' my problem.

Win7 64, Osx, hd partition, etc

Hi folks
So i just bought my first macbook pro mid2012 2.6 ghz
i plan on purchasing an crucial m4 256 gb, put my 750gb 7200rpm stock drive in the optical bay with an OWC data doubler.
Coming from a windows background i'm new to osx.
What would be the safest way to format the 750gb drive? Should i split it half ntsc and the other half apples format?
ideally i'd like to be able to read/write to the 750 gb drive while using win7 and osx. I know that you can use macdrive as well as ntfs3g
i did some searching but couldn't find any definitive answers.
osx did not include an install disc --
i was curious if it would be better for me to just do a clean install with the m4 or clone the drive.
any relevant links to being able to create my own install disc would be awesome.
what is the best method to make a backup that i can install on the new HDD?

Before you do any partitioning you should read the Bootcaamp help and installation manuals. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Use Bootcamp Assistant to create your Windows partition. if you proceed with partitioning first you will have nothing but problems and won't be able to install Windows.
