IPhone 4S not wifi syncing with Macbook Pro (2010, Mountain Lion)

Subject pretty much says it all: I can't get my iphone 4S to wifi sync with my Macbook Pro (2010, running Mountain Lion).  All relevant pieces have been updated (latest OS on laptop and device, latest iTunes, etc.).  wifi sync did work at some point but now simply won't; the device does not show up in iTunes, and trying to manually start a sync from the device just leave it looking for my laptop forever.
A little Google digging did make reference to trying to kill "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" and restarting iTunes.  I have noticed that AppleMobileDeviceHelper is not running...should it be?  I've even tried manually starting it and it doesn't seem to work.  I dug through Console looking for references to it in logs and didn't find anything.
Any suggestions/ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

    what to do if black berry bold 9900 contacts not fully syncing with macbook pro?

    thanks for the advice
    I have an I phone 4S that is having almost the same problem, and only some of the newly added contact of the phone are added to the address book, so not a big difference, and its not a solution to get read of all products only because we use apple.

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • HT1338 macbook pro 2010 Mountain lion iOS 10.8.2

    Hi there. Ive been trying to sort out a problem for some time - say- 2 to 3 months. When I boot up in normal mode and open an application, my screen blinks for a nano-second regularly about every 12 seconds, and any drop down menus close, and entering text in email etc. stops and sounds a bell for every key letter typed, showing I am no longer entering text. What a pain in the neck!
    Apple advised me to hold down cmd, alt, r and p - all together immediatley after start up, before the grey screen appears, and hold until the start-up sound is heard again, then release.
    This doesn't work, in fact it makes no difference at all.  I am advised by them that this will cure a hard drive problem, but it doesn't.
    Sarting in Safe Mode, however, does cure the problem whilst I stay in safe mode, but it returns when I start up normally. Working in safe mode is a real slow process! It too locks up after a while, then resumes normal service.
    Any ideas guys?  Can I scan the Hard Drive for faults? what else can I do?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Martin.

    Safe mode disables many third-party extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, etc. Read Safe Mode to see what specifically is disabled. Most likely one or more of those items could be causing the problem.
    You can also try creating a new user account with admin status. Log out of your account and into the new one. Does this stop the problem?

    Having the same issue. Iphone 4 at 5.0.1, Itunes at 10.5.1 iMac at 10.7.2. Synch session fails to start either wi fi or USB connected. Don't know if it is related, but since turning on Match the Music app crashes on the iPhone. No problems on iPad 1, though

  • My iphone will not wifi sync

    Im trying to get my iphone 5 to wifi sync with my macbook pro but its not doing it
    I have tried everything i can think of:
    -iphone is plugged in
    -itunes is open
    -itunes(when phone was plugged in) is checked for wifi sync
    -the apple ID's are the same
    -they are connected to same wifi
    The weird thing is that when i remove the usb cable, after my phone is plugged in, the device disappears which im pretty sure isnt supposed to happen. If i go to the top bar > devices i can see the name of my iphone but its greyed out and unselectable.
    If im using a school network(which requires a login) would that affect the sync even though the phone and laptop are both connected?
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIX THIS???

  • Wifi roaming with macbook pro broken

    Hi,
    I recently installed a new Time Capsule and extend the network using another Airport Express (1st generation) using an Ethernet cable. I used the new Airport Utility assistant that auto-configured everything. My iPhone and iPad are able to roam without problem (they pick the base station with the strongest signal). However, my MacBook Pro 2009 or my MacBook Air 2010 are not able to roam: they will stick with the network they are on even if that network signal drops to almost 0. Both base stations are configured with the same security WPA2. MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion and MacBook Air on Lion.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Any other user experiencing this problem?
    Thanks!
    Jean

    I have tried various troubleshooting ideas ppl post on line but nothing has worked to date.
    Other than what you already posted? Need those details too.
    Have you tried any of these?
    System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
    Unlock the padlock
    Locations: Automatic
    Highlight Airport
    Click the Assist Me button
    In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
    No internet connection (wireless)
    Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
    Delete all extra entries that you find.
    Click on the Airport tab.
    Delete all preferred networks except yours.
    Place a check mark next to *"Remember networks this computer has joined."*
    Lock the padlock.
    In the menu bar, click on the Airport icon and select your network. Restart your computer.

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

  • How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

    Or you can get an all in one:

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:

    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

    I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
    All help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.
