IPhone 5s not charging on my macbook pro

When connecting my iPhone 5S Lightning cable to my Macbook Pro 17 (A1297), the iPhone 5S does not show as connected to iTunes unless through WiFi sync. If I shut off the WiFi, the phone does not appear in iTunes. Only through Wifi Sync. There is also no charge going to the phone.
The cable powers the phone just fine on a cube. And I have tried both sides of the connector both ways on the Mac's ports.
Other devices work fine on my Mac's ports such as USB drives that are also powered from the port.
I have reset the PRAM on the Mac and rebooted both devices, to no avail.  I have tried other cables as well.
Is there anything I have missed? Any recommendations?

Hello shokk,
I'd recommend taking a look at the following article, as it provides information that can help get your iPhone to reappear in iTunes via USB.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

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

  • My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

    I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

    Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
    Buying another computer will not change that.

  • 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.

  • Suddenly my ipod and iphone will not sync with my macbook pro

    sync was working until about a week ago with all of my devices (Ipod/iphone)
    Sync is now greyed out, and it says the sync will resume when the macbook pro is available.
    Why isn't it available now?
    can I manually make it available?
    thanks.

    Are yo trying to sync via wifi?

  • My iPhone is not recognized by my Macbook Pro after updating my IOS to 7.04

    Hi,
    I am unable to restore my iPhone with what I had backed up as my phone is not recognized by my Mac Book Pro in iTunes.
    I had attempted to restart my MacBook and iPhone to no avail.
    What should I do?

    Plug it into a different Mac.

  • IPhone 3GS not being recognised by MacBook Pro

    hello.
    just a few days ago i was able to sync my iPhone 3GS via iTunes to my laptop using the supplied USB cable. Today when I tried, nothing, the iPhone doesn't do anything and iTunes doesn't launch. The only update I have put on my machine is the recent 10.5.8 Security update yesterday - not sure it is related?
    so in the process of elimination, I've tried the following.
    1. connected my 5.5G iPod using the same usb cable - ipod mounts fine and iTunes launches.
    2. connect my iPhone to the AC Adapter using the same usb cable - iPhone charges fine
    3. tried iPhone on all USB ports using same usb cable - nothing happens.
    so I'm happy the USB cable and ports are all functional and the iPhone connector is ok, as it does charge when connected to an AC power supply.
    normally when i connect my iPhone to the laptop, the phone screen turns on, iTunes launched and then it starts a backup and then sync. But this time, nothing happens at all. the iPhone remains in standby. I checked the USB ports in the Apple System Profiler but none of the USB ports are displayed as iPhone.
    I have power-cycled both the iphone and laptop but it makes no difference. Any other suggestions - do you think it is hardware or software related?
    Thanks,
    James

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, its connecting then fails.  When someone try to FaceTime me,I try to access but it says connecting then fail

    FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically.   When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail.  I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone.  I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
    Please advise.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.

  • Making an iPhone 4S manual backup to a MacBook Pro does not work in iTunes?

    Hello.
    I am helping a client's iPhone 4S (iOS 5) to back up his data to his 13.3" MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.2 with updates including the latest iTunes v11 without iCloud). We told iTunes not to automatically synchronize when connected. We did tell it to manual back ups from iPhone to MacBook Pro, but we only saw it back up iPhone's apps. Calendar, Contacts, etc. do not get updated on MacBook Pro's software. We don't want to synchronize. We just want to overwrite iPhone's data to the computer. Did we miss something or is there a bug in this manual backup? My client only updates his data on his iPhone and not the computer.
    Thank you in advance.

    Backing up will not update the calendar, contacts, etc. on his MacBook Pro; only syncing does that (and it's bi-directional).  Backing up only creates a device backup that can later be used to restore from if necessary.  He can confirm that the backup was successfully created by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and checking the Backups list.
    Or am I misunderstanding your question?
    We do see iTunes' device and ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ showing the backups. We thought manual backups did COMPLETE backups including calendar, contacts, etc. That's disappointing. The problem is synchronizing is that it likes to make duplicates which is quite annoying. We would prefer iTunes overwrite iPhone 4S' datas to computer. He nevers updates/add data on the computer.

  • IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

    iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
    When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
    But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

    When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    See this document - the section on "Importing Photos to your Computer":  iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
