IPhone not appearing on Finder sidebar

Hi,
I connect my iPhone(4) to my MacBook (10.5.8) and it is successfully recognized by iTunes and iPhoto but it nevertheless does not appear on the Finder sidebar.
I realize this is a problem that has already been discussed and resolved on an archived conversation but the solution provided doesn't help me with my own problem.
I do not have any photos saved in the camera roll from any other sources other than the iPhone's camera itself.
I got the phone very recently and I don't think it ever actually appeared on the sidebar, but, as I said, I never had any issues with it being recognized by iTunes or iPhoto.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I was actually hoping to manually copy my photos from the iPhone onto the computer, rather than sync them through iPhoto...
Good to know that everything is working as it should, I guess. I'm new to the iPhone but I know that a friend of mine (also on iPhone4) does just this to copy-past his photos, and his appears in finder; of course he's jailbroken his own phone.
Is there any other way I can copy my photos from the iphone to the mac without using iPhoto?

Is the device lost or stolen? If so it may be turned off, not connected to the internet, and/or have a dead battery in which case it may never appear.

IPhone not appearing inside iTunes

Running latest iTunes on Lion. My iPhone 4 is configured to sync over Wifi.
Since some days my iPhone does not appear within the sidebar after starting iTunes.
I can force iTunes over Wifi syncing directly from my iPhone but the iPhone won't appear inside iTunes.
How can I resolve that?

Thumbnails Not Appearing in Finder

I posted this in the Leopard forumn, but I haven't gotten any response. I hope someone here can help.
I am having a strange problem with image thumbnails not appearing in Finder. I am editing some very large TIF files on a Macbook that is running Lion. These images are edited on an external drive, and when I hook the drive up to my main iMac, which is running Leopard, the new images I have created in Lion do not have thumbnails. The only way that they will appear is if I open the images in Photoshop and just resave them on the machine running Leopard. This method poses a problem because each image takes about 5-8 minutes to open, and another 5-8 to save. I have hundreds of images and don't have the time to do that to each one.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

I've tried repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the finder plist file, and neither of those things work.

Document content do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

The contents of all types of appleworks documents do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow on both of my computers. The generic AWKS logo appears.
Why does this happen and what can be done to correct this?
I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

AppleWorks 6 was written before OS X & long before Leopard & Quick Look. There hasn't even been an update since January 2004. The ability to create the image for Quick Look likely will never happen.

Superdrive not appearing on Finder on my iMac will not burn JPG files

Superdrive is not appearing on Finder and in drive Utilities it will not burn JPG files - says doesn't recognize the file type. The more I am exposed to Apple the more they look like Microsoft. If the drive doesn't work with the IMAC then why the **** do they list it with the iMAC site?

all external usb optical drive readers and burners works
not just the superdrive if the device does not show in finder it's not working properly

Time Machine cannot back up to G-Drive slim which is connected, but does not appear in Finder.

my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) using OS X Yosemite10.10.2 has properly connected G-drive Slim, but it does not appear in Finder;
On Screen pop up Warnings:
"Back up Failed Time Machine couldn't back up to "G-Drive Slim" " and
"Disk Not Ejected Properly Eject "G-Drive Slim" before turning it off."

Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

Try one of your other USB ports. Be sure to insert it with the plated fingers pointing upwards.

Why my iphone notes appear on my iPad?

Why my iphone notes appear on my iPad?

It's becuase you are syncing both devices to the same account which has Notes enabled.

do you have a more recent backup and that's what it's saying you can restore from? it's possible that backup overwrote your previous one. in itunes on the computer go to edit > preferences > devices, and see what backups you have there

File Icons Not Appearing in Finder

Over the years I have archived projects on CDs and DVDs. I have always worked on Macs. No PC involvement. I have been doing this since 1987. Over the past couple weeks I have noticed that the icons of files (not folders) on my older disks are not appearing. I am using the latest Mac OS 10.8.3 on a MacBook Pro. However, on a friend's older Mac Pro tower (Intel), running an older OS (10.6.8), the file icons do appear. Also, it seems that all folder icons do appear on both systems. I have searched the Internet for an answer. I have a lot of old files that I currently cannot seem to access because of this issue. Can anyone shed any light on this? I think it may be an OS issue.

Hi,
I was under the impression that the Disk Level info was the bit that had the problem.
I am not sure why I ended up with that thought as you clearly state it is contents type info such as tiffs and the like you cannot "see" for long.
The Site did help with that.
I dug out a old Mag CD with a game on in.
I do not suffer losing sight of any of the files no matter which view I adopt.
It lists the Mac OS Standard as the format and the Roman encoding your Video and pics show.
(Strangely it says it was Modified and the date is before the listed Modified dates of the files and folder it contains).
I don't have any self created disks from that time to test.
I am at a loss myself now.
Sometimes, as in my Pic, the Applications that were written for OS 9 (Classic era) and earlier have the no entry sign over them.
Other times the items will show a generic file icon as it has "lost" which app it belongs to. (Which the PRAM reset deals with)
Your files clearly show the icons of the apps that would normally open them.
Files or folders that are normally hidden don't get counted in Quick Look or other forms of veiwing the contents, such as the lower bar in my pic.
It would appear the OS is reading the Disk properly but then deciding that it is not going to display all of it.
I tried viewing the files on my drive if different views - iCon and Cover Flow for certain - but did not notice any difference in what was presented.
If you have the Disk Open and in the Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and then choose Show Icon Preview do you get to see the tiff files at all ?
I would also try the Size change in the Cover Flow view just to see if it is something about the icon data that is "missing" or being mis-read.
I am clutching at straws at this point.

IPhones not appearing on MacBook Pro

I have been trying to transfer photos/videos from my iPhone 4s to my MacBook Pro. When I connect via USB, the phone starts to charge and it shows up in iTunes, can sync, etc. However, it does not appear under "devices" in Finder, iPhoto or Image Capture. So, I can't transfer them.
Then, I tried my husband's iPhone. That also charges, but does not show up in Finder, iPhoto, Image capture OR iTunes. Same with my iPod touch. All 3 of these devices have been connected and synced with this computer previously.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am really low on space on my iPhone so would love to be able to transfer the pics and delete them from the phone.
Thanks,
Amy

Correct it doesn't show up in the Finder. To transfer photos open iPhoto. From the menu:
iPhoto>Preferences>General. Select what application you want to open to transfer photos. "Connecting camera opens..."

External Hard Drive does not appear in finder

We purchased a 1 TB G Drive Q from the Apple Store. It is connected to my wife's iMac running the most current update of Leopard by 800 firewire and appears on her desktop and works flawlessly with time machine. I am connected to the same drive intermittently with my MacBookPro also running the most current update of Leopard. i connect with 400 firewire. Initially the drive would not appear in the finder. for the initial backup, i turned the hard drive off and on and then it would appear and i did the backup but now when i connect to the 400 firewire port, it still doesn't appear in the finder. i would much prefer not to need to turn my back up drive off and on each time i want to use time machine. i should also mention that when i connect any of my garmin training devices or my power meter by USB it is recognized very quickly as a device in finder. any ideas? i understand this may be one of the problems fixed with SnowLeopard. thanks.

I am not sure what you are attempting to do. I assume that you are not trying to connect two computers to the same external drive at the same time. That will definitely be problematic. In order to effectively use Time Machine with two Macs, you should partition the drive into two partitions. Also make sure that the drive is using a GUID partition scheme.
