Iphone not connecting to my iMac anymore...

I have had my iPhone since November and i have not had any problems before but yesterday I ran out of battery but i had my usb cable so i plugged into my mates macbook which was a white one i think a couple of years old, and charged it up on his computer. Now when i connect the phone to my own imac it wont appear in itunes or even charge?
I have tried someone else's mac book in the house and it works fine. So i restored it on the other mac book in the house but it still wont connect to my iMac. Can anyone help?
I dont think its my computer a it worked fine 2 days ago when i last plugged the phone in!
Cheers

thank you!
seems fine now i have restarted my computer and launched itunes again!
do you know the best way to revert to my back ups?

  • My iPHone is connected to my iMac, and I want to transfer files from iMace to IPhone. Instructions say to go to iTunes, look under Devices for my Device. I do so, and no devices are listed. How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?

    Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date.  If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device.  If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address.  However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

    I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Why will my I phone not connect with my IMac it pairs?

    Why will my I Phone not connect with my IMAC it pairs?

    Since you use the work "pairs", I must assume you're talking about bluetooth.
    Unless you're trying to use the personal hotspot to tether the computer to the phone, you can't do that...
    You can only use bluetooth with a computer for tethering.  Bluetooth file sharing is not supported. Neither is bluetooth sync.

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • HT4356 My iPad is not connecting to the printer anymore sinse I have a new modem help

    I have a HP Photo smart Plus sins i have a new modem, my iPad and phone is not connecting to my printer anymore.Can somebody help me fix it?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • After updating my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion, i can not connect to the internet anymore

    Hi galleryskins,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
    Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
    To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
    For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
    If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • HT1386 My IPad2 will not sync with my iMac anymore, keeps giving me an error of failure to start sync after it has tried for 2-3 minutes

    My IPad2 will not sync with my iMac anymore, keeps giving me an error of failure to start sync after it has tried for 2-3 minutes

    Cenzon-
    Are you syncing over WiFi or over the USB cable?  Try doing the opposite.
    Also try a different USB port on the iMac.

  • Iphone not connecting to wi-fi but my ipad does

    iphone not connecting to wi-fi but my ipad does.same wi-fi but the iphone doesnt want to connect now for some reason

    Can your iPad connect to other Wi-Fi networks? If so, is it possible that you may have configured your AirPort to restrict access to the iPad by including the iPad's MAC address in the AirPort's Timed Access Control settings?

  • After the ios 7 update, my iphone will not connect to my iMac iTunes because "it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later." but my iTunes says all software is up to date...can anyone help??

    iPhone will not connect to my iTunes. I am running iTunes version 10.6.3 on my iMac runing Mac OS X version 10.5.8. All of my updates say "up to date" but this is obviously not the case. Can anyone help me out?

    Hi,
    Your iTunes is up to date for your OS X.
    iTunes 11 requires in intel mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later. If your computer is compatible you will need to purchase Snow Leopard upgrade from Apple store.

    Hi Damien,
      Thanks for your reply.
      I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
      The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
      The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
       Airport Extreme
      Airport Express
        I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?
    Regards
    Gilson
