Iphone doesn't work in my USB ports but everything else does, and iPhone works everywhere else!
My iPhone 3gs stopped working in the USB ports. Camera wizard doesn't even show up. Phone doesn't charge through it either, but if I plug my phone ANYWHERE else (computers and wall outlets) it works fine. When I plug keyboards and mice into my computer, they get recognized right away. My phone was working on my computer just about a week and a half ago, but just completely stopped. Can someone help me figure this out? I've read hundreds of threads from all over but can't seem to find the right answer. I'm going out of my mind here!!!
Did you do a restart, then if still not responiding then you need to do a restore through itunes.

Battery not charging with usb port but works fine with wall plug.. So the prob is computer is not detecting the iphone5 . This problem started after upgrading to 6.1.3 version
Try to see what happens on another computer. If it works on another computer, the issue is not at the iPhone.

I have an older HP connected to the usb port of my Time Machine, and have it shared. I want to print from my iPhone on the network, but it can not be found in airport? How do I make this work?
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.

My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?
I'd start by looking in system profiler.
the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on USB
See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse. Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
Perhaps device is taking too much power. Are devices power or unpowered? Try connecting devices to a usb hub.

External USB2 drive doesn't work on left USB port
Hi,
I have an 2,5" external usb hard drive which works on my right usb port, but not on my left one, when i try the disk on the left port, afterwards the usb port is dead untill restart, even my mighty mouse does'nt work on it. My logic board and board with audio and left usb port are already replaced, without result, also the cable beween logic board and daughter board...
The disk works on a colleage's macbook pro on both ports...
what to do?Try resetting the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Make sure also that no USB devices are connected when you put the machine to sleep (close the lid, or start energy saver).
A restart will clear a hung USB port usually. -
My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?
Hi everyone,
I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

"IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote. -
The past few days I find my IOS devices don't show up in "My Computer" and they don't show up in iTunes. All other USB devices work well. I am using Windows Vista. I have tried several troubleshooting things, including unintalling and reinstalling iTunes, stopping and starting the Apple monitors, etc. Nothing is working. Ideas?
It's really great that you're taking the time to help me. I did several of the tests you recommend over the last two or three days. It always shows that the iPod/iPhone/iPad isn't present. Here's more. I got a Norton tech to help me yesterday and it isn't the anti-virus, as we uninstalled everything and it still didn't work. I went deeper into the system through the control panel, and found the device detected on the appropriate USB port, but it won't show up in "My Computer". Two of the three devices show up on another PC, (I didn't test the third) so I'm leaning to something in iTunes because every other USB device I plug into the Vista ports shows up quickly and works perfectly (thumb drives, wireless mouse, camera, etc). I already unistalled all Apple software and downloaded new, but the problem still exists. I have restarted, unplugged, you name it and the devices aren't showing up. I can't wirelessly sync either because one has to set that up through iTunes prior to doing it.

Some items not working in any USB port
Hello, I have multiple USB ports on this Mac Pro and recently when I try to plug in camera cords they do not work. I have a regular kodak camera usb cord and it doesn' work in the front of the back. It does not recognize the item. Also when I pull the plug out it puts the computer to sleep. Help please.
aSince a new one's only $50 USD, I'd give that a try. BTW, if the machine's less than a year old (three years if covered under an AppleCare Protection Plan), you should be able to get it replaced, free of charge.

USB-Hub not working on LEFT USB port?
Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2013) and it's running fine. Boot Camp version: 5.0.5033.
But I have one problem: I bought an external monitor (Dell U2414H) which has an built-in 4-Port USB 3.0 hub. So I connect the Dell monitor using a DisplayPort 1.2a cable and an USB 3.0 cable. But Windows only recognizes the monitor's built-in USB hub when I plug the USB cable into the right USB port (when I sit in front of the MacBook). Then it works without problems. But when I plug the USB cable into the left USB port of the MacBook Windows only says "USB device not recognized". But other devices like USB sticks and USB drives also work without problems on left and right USB port of the MacBook. Also when I boot in OS 10.9 Mavericks the monitor's USB hub is working on both USB ports of the MacBook. So I think it isn't a hardware failure. I also re-installed Windows, but I have still the same problem.
Do you have any idea, why only the monitor's built-in USB hub is not working in Windows on the left port of the MBP or even how I could fix it?
Is Boot Camp 5.0.5033 the most current version? I checked the box to download the latest Windows support software and also didn't find anything newer than 5.0.5033 to download, but sometimes I read about 5.1.1 - but where could I download it? AND: Doest it help?
Thanks in advance!I think I've hit a variation on the problem you're enoucntering. I have a late-2013 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina. I've just installed Boot Camp and a copy of Windows 7 Pro. This is my first experience with Boot Camp and Windows on a Mac, so I'm in foreign teritory.
The install all went fine and Windows 7 booted up fine and so far, all hardware seems to be working as expected, with one exception. Things went sideways when I tried use it in "clamshell" mode - lid closed with external monitors and all my peripherals attached to a USB hub. I set up Boot Camp to boot into Windows and attempted to boot. It would give me the usual boot-up fanfair and a then a gray screen for a few seconds, and then it would reboot. It just rebooted over and over. I eventually discovered the issue was the USB hub - without the hub connected , it would boot just fine. Once it was booted into Windows, I could attach the the hub and everything would be recognized normally. Furthermore, I could put the system in sleep mode, wake it up and everything would be working fine. But it simply refuses to boot the USB hub attached. I've stumbled on a couple related threads - see https://discussions.apple.com/message/23802231#23802231. The suggestion is that only certain hubs to not work. I've got two different high quality powered hubs and both display the same behaviour. The other point is, that when booting into OS X with the same hub, it works perfectly. So it's a strange problem.
Note that after reading your post, I did try the hub in both right and left USB ports and that made no difference in my case. I do have one more hub to try (built into my Dell monitor). I'll report back if that happens to work. -

Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
ThanksThis is my problem that has to originate from the update. So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook! Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc. When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed. I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud. I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files. Once updated again, I could no longer open pages. It began, to open and abruptly shut down.
