Please help! Thank you!

Try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
And try reinstalling the AMDS > iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X
If you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier, click here .. iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
And click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.. from the drop down menu click Software Update.
If you have any updates available, that may help also.

The Mac Pro - the desktop computer - does not support Airdrop, if that's what you mean.

Iphone not recognize by itunes

i´d reset my iphone several times but after the Apple sign appears nothing happens,the screen turns dark and Itunes dont recognize it,unfortunately someone tried to gave me a gift by playing with my phone and installing Cydia and since then the iphone behaved wrongly..what can i do?

AhHa Finally - I have the Itouch and it is upgraded to the latest software and I have Itunes 8.2.1.6. I have been banging my head on the desk for days trying to get rid of this pervasive widespread problem so many are reporting where Itunes "detects an Iphone" but does not "recognize it" I have followed posts as far back as 2006 all the way to Present Day. Some suggest disabling any wireless card on your PC or laptop. Others suggest uninstalling and completely reinstalling all apple software (I did this 9 times)some say its a usb conflict or problem etc, go to control panel. Many of these fixes work for some users, (especially disabling wireless) Then there is the geek fix that requires major registry work and command files and programming and third party device drivers etc PHEW! And the golden answers: GET A NEW PHONE, GET A NEW COMPUTER, or MOVE TO NEW GUINEA where Iphones are not widely used, so if yours ain't workin no one will know or care. Maybe you really don't deserve an Iphone anyway? Or buy a mac (which has the same issues by the way), anyway, takes all kinds, God Bless America, and all those noble souls that have toiled with this issue for years
Hopefully, my solution will work for you as it has for me!
When unplugging the device from the dock (itunes connection) make sure that you first go to the "safely remove hardware" icon in your windows system tray and end the connection in this way. This apparently resets the USB device driver and allows for a full sync to occur when you again plug in your device. Yep, it was that simple. Once you have a sync just remember to eject the ipod (in Itunes) before unplugging it and you should be fine. The fix is in!
I feel so much better

Iphone notes files in mac

Hello,
Some time ago i lost all my notes from my iphone 4 when I was trying to copy to my mac.
I did a sync from the iphone to my snow leopard 10.6.8 Mail.app with Itunes, here is the log:
2011-07-30 03:46:29:371|Mingler|1748|1927670|SyncPlan|Stats| Airbag being run for client com.apple.MobileSync.(personal_number)
com.apple.notes.Note:
          Adds:                    133
          Modifies:          4
          Deletes:          44
Unfortunately, the day after, I don´t remember how, I deleted the notes and disappeared from Mail.app, here is the log:
2011-07-31 07:59:45:761|Mingler|1264|19265a0|SyncPlan|Stats| Airbag being run for client com.apple.MobileSync.(personal_number)
com.apple.notes.Note:
          Adds:                    0
          Modifies:          0
          Deletes:          57
I thought I had lost all my notes and I try to forget and continue my live.
After time, I have the possibility to recover the notes from a recovery I've done from my Macintosh hard drive.
Looking for answers in discussions in this community and others, I can´t see information I need:
I don´t know the notes file extension. ¿How Itunes copied it? ¿What is the file extension?
And in case of find the notes file, ¿how to view the content?
Sorry, if my english is not very good.

Hi after time I can see the notes, the notes were store in mail.app, are stored in .emlx files, and synchronized from itunes with the sync service in a core data file in entity records that I unknow extension or type of file.
In my case, the notes never went to mail.app so I´m trying know to localize this core data file but what I suspect the information in this core data is corrupt and I can´t find it, or in other case the notes are not in the recovery files.
So, now i´m looking for file with the information of the notes when the notes were sync from itunes with the sync process, if someone knows something about this file, some no corrupt data to do a search with this criterya in all the files: the header of this file..
(I supposed the file is generated with the itunes sync process and I can check in the web (search: ios sync service) that this file exits, but I don´t find references about the internally data).

IPhone not recognized after Mac security update

I have a Mac iBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11, and an iPhone 3G running OS 3.0. Up to now they have worked fine together. The phone was charged on the iBook this morning. This afternoon I ran software update on the Mac which installed the latest security update (2009-05, I think). After that, the phone is not recognized when plugged in the USB port. It no longer charges, nor is it recognized by iTunes.
I have checked the following to be sure that the security update is the culprit:
The iPhone with the same cable works fine on another Mac (running 10.5).
Other devices (thumb drive, printer) work fine in the same USB ports.
Finally, I restarted the iBook from the original installation CD for OSX 10.4. When running with the original version, the iPhone is recognized correctly.
So, I am reporting a problem with the security update, and I need to know how to back it off, or how to get it fixed.
Thanks for any help.
NOTE: Software update also installed iTunes 9.0.1 along with updates to Quicktime and Safari. However, none of these apps even have to be running to show that the phone will not charge.

The problem was solved by resetting the System Management Unit, thanks to a helpful phone call with an Apple Expert. On the iBook this required unplugging, removing the battery, and holding the power button in for 15 seconds.
Earlier I tried zapping the PRAM, as someone suggested, but the phone was not recognized. But it turns out it did show up in the System Profiler.
I have no idea why this happened in the first place, right after the software update.

ICal on iPhone not syncing with Mac.

Does anyone know how I can get iCal on my iPhone 4s to sync with my computer? All my contacts and emails (thru yahoo) sync up just fine, but I can't get the calendars to sync. I do not have MobileMe or iCloud, but do I have to have them to do this? I wanted to use Apple's iCal, but maybe I should just use Yahoo's calendar feature instead? Any advice/help in this would be greatly appreciated.

My phone is doing the same thing. When I delete events on my mac, they are still present on the iphone after a sync. I have restored my phone, both from back up, and as a new iphone. This is very frustrating.

Accessing iPhone notes from the Mac

Hi All,
OK...
I'd like to access the notes in my iPhone's Notes App from my Macbook...I thought with ML I would at last be able to do that... alas it seems not.
Currently the notes I have on my iPhone are in a specific account within Notes known as "On My iPhone". This "On My iPhone" account does not show up in the new Notes App on my Mac...even though it presumably syncs in the back-up to iTunes.
Does anyone know how can I easily shift these Notes from the "On My iPhone" account to the "iCloud" account?
I am aware they can be copied, one by one to the iCloud Notes account...but I'm after a clever solution...I have well over a hundred of these things...and I'd also quite like to keep the notes' original properties, like their date.
Thanks in advance...

Ah well, a few reasons maybe...
I kinda stopped using the Mail app a while back mainly because I found that draft emails were not being synced back up to Gmail reliably..
I started using Mail again when it integrated Notes...and I started to use mobileme account for notes at that time too...
But then I had a few negative/frustrating experiences where edits I made to notes via the phone were lost, either due to a poor network connection or a syncing snafu with mobileme (which incidentally wasn't as rare as one might have expected).
I decided after that to go back to the safety of editing notes and storing them locally on the phone.
So, that's the background.
Do you think there will be a clever way to address the situation or is it a lost cause?

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

Calendar in Iphone not syncing with Mac or Mobile Me

All of my calendar entries on my IPhone are in a calendar that shows up under Untitled Account. It wont sync with either my Mac or Mobile Me and I have tried every setting I know how. This has happened since I updated to 3.0.
Any suggestions on how to move this to one of my existing accounts that do sync?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Kevin MacAfee

Kevin,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

Bluetooth on iphone not connecting to mac

hi. i turn on my bluetooth on my iphone and the mac at school, but it never really finds my iphone, but it finds my friends regular phone that is a voyager.
is there anything wrong with my iphone's bluetooth?

There is at least 1 app that uses bluetooth to transfer files between the iPhone and the Mac. It is Reunion, which is a genealogy program.
I am having the same difficulty in getting my 3GS to connect to my MacBookPro. I have updated software on the Mac, turned the phone, bluetooth off and back on, also have the the home buttton/lock switch cycle to no avail. The Mac sees the iPhone but the iPhone doesn't see the Mac. Worked fine with my original iPhone.

IPhone not recognize by PC but is recognize as iPhone camera

Hey Dave,
Check for outdated driver software being used with Logitech QuickCam/Webcam products, Lexmark scanners, or built-in media card readers as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
Check for the outdated software in Add/Remove programs, just uninstall it and test again. Then download and reinstall the latest software available from the manufacturer.
Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280

Find my iphone not working on mac

I am testing find my iphone on my mac. However when I try to track it, it says No location avalable although it is connected to the internet.

Track what? And what is connected to the internet?
Are you sure "Find my Phone" is turned on in the settings of the iPhone. I assume you are saying the iPhone has internet turned on.

My iphone not recognize by my pc

From a week my iPhone stopped responding to my PC. When I plug the cable in.. nothing. Not loading, not even a sound. PC has same reaction - no iTunes and no mass storage device.. And its not listed in the Portable devices. I've reinstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Driver and EVERYTHING ELSE I found. I've readen ALOT in google for 4 days and still can't fix my problem. The funny thing is that it works on any other PC, but not on mine. On other PC's it connects, charges, syncs fine (with the same cable). I've tried another cable - still nothing.
I really need to fix this until tomorrow, since im going on a trip and when I plugged it on my school PC, iTunes deleted my music from the library and I have to go into the system folders to find it and listen.. and no playlists and things... I've tried everything and nothing worked.
I've even reinstalled my windows and still no connection. Please give me a solution..
P.S. I remember that last thing I did is that I ticked "Start iTunes when this device is plugged" on iTunes. Then I don't know if i plugged it in after that and if it worked.

Do you have the latest update on your iPhone ?
DFU restore can maybe help.

IMessage on iphone not working with mac users

I have tried restarting iMessgae, restarting my phone, nothing seems to be helping!

Iphone not working with mac

i have an iphone 4 and a macbook pro 13 inch but i setup my iphone through ios 5 on it so i didnt set it up on a computar but i can only put music and add playist's etc. from my imac's and not from my laptop?????

Rephrase your post. It makes no sense. You would've had to install ios 5 on your iPhone using a computer. Are you saying it's linked to your iMac but you want to link it to your MBP as well? be clear.
