Iphone not recognised in iTunes on new MAC

I’m hoping someone can help? I have been using a PC to sync my iphone in itunes. I have a new Macbook and I want to start syncing my phone with that but the device is not being recognised. I have copied my library across for the PC to the MAC but when I plug my phone in to the MAC it automatically opens iphoto but does not respond to the phone. I have authorised my MAC in itunes and reinstalled itunes twice but still no joy. Has anyone had a successful outcome to a similar problem?

try this first:
launch *Image Capture* while your iPhone is connected. Image Capture can be found in your computer's applications folder.
go to the Devices pulldown menu and select iPhone. now, go to the Image Capture pulldown menu and select preferences. In the general tab, change +when a camera is connected, open+ to +no application+. click OK, then quit Image Capture.
as for the iPhone not being recognized by iTunes, try the troubleshooting tips here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US.

  • IPhone 5 not recognised by iTunes on my mac

    When I try to connect the phone buzzes and I am told the device is not recognised. I have tried 3 different cables and different USB ports. I have an iPhone 5 and mac. I recently synced the phone with no problems. Any help much appreciated.

    Hello Gillmr,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your Mac is not recognizing your iPhone when it is plugged in and different cables and USB ports have not made a difference. This article should help with further troubleshooting of this issue:

  • IPhone not recognised by iTunes 10.4

    Since downloading iTunes 10.4 my Mac no longer recognises my iPhones.  I just upgraded to Lion OSX 10.7 in the hope that would fix it.  Alas, I still can't see my phones in iTunes, so I can't sync them.
    I've tried everything including reinstalling iTunes, putting the correct iTunesHelper into login items, checking and unchecking the "prevent ipods, iphones from syncing automatically" in iTunes.
    Please help!!!!!

    You were right.
    I've read other forums suggesting that it was due to the cable but I ignored it as my cable was like yours - it charges fine and also, in another computer - it charges and recognized the device just fine.
    After reading your post, I tried it with another iPhone cable and it miraculously worked. My iPhone is recognized by iTunes.
    The things is, both cables are in normal condition and are both genuine Apple cables.
    I'm glad mine's finally recognized though

  • IPhone not recognised in iTunes after upgrading to 10.0.1

    Hi, I hope someone out there can help with a problem I have with my iPhone 3GS currently running 4.1.
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and iTunes has not worked correctly since.
    When I connect my iPhone to PC with a USB I receive the usual pop-up asking what I would like to do with the device, but when I open iTunes, the phone is not located and listed in Devices (devices not even shown on the menu).
    I have tried all manner of different things to fix;
    Restarted PC
    Restarted iPhone
    Opened iTunes before connecting phone
    Connected phone before starting iTunes
    Connected using different USB cables
    Used different USB ports
    Restarted Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service in Administrative Tools > Services
    Uninstalled 10.0.1 and re-installed a previous version of iTunes
    After all this, my iPhone is still not being recognised in iTunes.
    Can anybody out there help please??
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me also =)
    I can't be 100% certain when but pretty sure it's since I updated to itunes 10 I haven't been able to sync or charge my iphone through my laptop, although it still charges through mains charger. My laptop makes a noise when I plug the iphone in but does not recognise it in windows or itunes. I have tried the above steps but cannot locate the phone anywhere in device manager or when in recovery mode. Have tried different cables and usb drives aswell as restarting etc.
    Any advice appreciated

  • Iphone not recognised in itunes, iphone not recognised in itunes

    Windows XP , iPhone 4 Itunes latest.
    I have followed ALL of the suggestions to resolve why my iPhone does not show in iTunes. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    It worked before although everytime iTunes updated I had problems connecting again.
    When iPhone is plugged in to usb windows recognises it as a camera no prob.
    Cheers

    I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
    Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

  • IPhone not Working with iTunes on New iMac

    I recently upgraded a family member's iMac from an early Intel iMac to a new i5 iMac. Both the old and the new were running 10.6.4 and had iTunes 9.2.1.
    I used the simple transfer functionality when setting up the new iMac to transfer everything over from the old iMac
    When I loaded up iTunes on the new iMac and connected the iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.0.2), nothing happened. I checked System Profiler and it was there.
    After trying a couple times, restarting, etc, I followed the instructions here to entirely remove and reinstall iTunes and its files from the new iMac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224
    (I did everything, including the "Additionally..." instructions at the bottom).
    This did the trick - The iPhone was recognized by iTunes. However, the next time I restarted the iMac everything went back to the old (no iPhone recognition by iTunes).
    Any advice on what I might be missing?
    Message was edited by: Kai Brinker

    It seems I only need to reinstall iTunes, not delete everything first, to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone until restart.
    What in the restart process could cause this to go away?

  • Old iphone not recognised in itunes

  • 2 weeks of trying still iphone not recognised with itunes!!!!!!!!

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ready to smash iphone with hammer.
    tried everything, uninstall, UAC off, hidden admin in vista,
    deleting infcache1 file,
    everything and still cannot get iphone to sync with itunes charge battery or anything.
    apple support is hopeless!!!!!!
    please help!

    Just so we're all on the same page here, when you say "I have done that everytime it fails to install." did you follow the steps exactly as outlined in the two referenced support documents or did you just try & do things on your own? If the later, I'd suggest you follow the steps as outlined. If in fact you have followed these steps, I'm sorry but I have no further suggestions.

  • My iPhone is not recognised in iTunes on my Mac. All software is up to date. What can I do?

    Any advice please? Another iPhone is recogenised fine, but not my own.

    The server isn't sending a required intermediate certificate (VeriSign Class 3 Extended Validation SSL SGC CA), so Firefox can't build a certificate chain that links to a build-in root certificate.
    You can import the VeriSign EV intermediate certificates from this web page (you need the second one in your case).
    *http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/extended-validation-pro/index.html
    Copy and paste the certificate text (Secondary EV SSL Intermediate CA Certificate) to a text file VeriSignEV.cer and import the file in the Certificate Manager.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates
    That should make the error disappear.<br />
    You can contact the website to inform them that they need to install that certificate.

  • Purchases made from another computer not appearing in iTunes on new MAC

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to the Mac world and am still familiarizing myself. As a former PC user, I made several purchases from my PC (music only) that are not showing up on iTunes on my shiny new mini Mac. Is this normal? How do I download my previous purchases to the mini?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Copy them from the old machine to a flash drive, then from the flash drive to the new machine. Alternatively, you can use your iPod to transfer purchased files.

  • IPhone not recognised in iTunes

    Hello there,
    I'm having trouble with my iPhone 3G-S in that iTunes isn't recognising it as connected. It's fully connected, I have the latest version of itunes (i've just this second downloaded it) and the AMDS is 'started'.
    The only thing my iPhone screen is showing is a picture of a cable with an arrow pointing to 'itunes'. But it's plugged in. And if it helps, the iPhone isn't registering on my computer either.
    Pleeeeeease help, I've not had it long and have just got used to it :-/
    Many thanks,
    Jonno

    Ok, well firstly thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, this guide hasn't helped.
    I'm runnning the right computer software (hence why it's worked before)
    The phone battery is fine and not flat
    I've tried using different USB 2.0 ports
    I've restarted the iPhone
    Restarted the computer
    And already downloaded the latest version of iTunes.
    Is there anything else i can do?
    Thanks again

  • After hard drive transfer of itunes folder from old computer, music not showing in itunes on new mac

    Hi,
    I have just used the external drive method to transfer my itunes library from the old mac to my new macbook pro. I moved the whole itnues folder into the music folder, as directed, having removed the empty itunes folder than was there by default on the new macbook. But when I open itunes, none of the music appears, even though it is now in the right place. I am just offered the splach screen to 'scan for media', the same as when I opened iTunes when the computer first arrived. If I do that, I'm worried it's going to pick up everyting on the computer, and I only want my old itunes library to work!
    As I understand it from the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    ... (which I followed meticulously), all my music should now appear in iTunes. But it doesn't... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try copying the iTunes folder from your old computer again. Then, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so it will ask you for the library. Just go to the folder where the iTunes library is, and select it, so the songs should load correctly
