IPhone syncs/charges only after restart

Hello. I am having some troubles getting my iPhone to sync or charge when connected to my iMac G5.
The phone will not sync, iTunes doesn't recognize that it is connected, AND it will not charge at all. I can plug it in and unplug it as many times as I want. The only way to get the phone and computer to sync/charge the phone again is to restart the iMac, log-in, and then plug the iPhone back in - then everything works great again for 1 more sync/charge session. If I unplug the phone from the iMac, I have to restart again before my next sync/charge. It has been like this since I upgraded (clean install) to Leopard on the iMac.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Also, after I restart and log-in I have to start iTunes before plugging in the iPhone otherwise iTunes never automatically launches with the phone is plugged in.
iMac G5, Leopard 10.5.1 (Clean install), iTunes 7.6, iPhone 8GB 1.1.3

Not sure if this has anything to do with the new download, but Thursday I downloaded the '08 updates (yeah...I am slow getting to it), anyway... while I was downloading the updates my phone of course was charging from the computer. After the download was finished I turned my phone off and plugged the phone into the wall charger. Charged fine... well last night (Saturday) I had to recharge my phone, but once I connected my phone to the wall charger it would not respond and/or start charging. Tried to plug it into the computer and it said my USB port was overloaded. I was ticked... needless to say I tried again this morning with no luck. Left my phone off for a few hours still nothing. Called tech. support and the guy asked me to try it again on the computer and read what the error said to him.....low and behold it started charging... on the pc and then on the wall charger. I have no idea why it started to work. I was happy it did, but has anyone else had this issue?

IPhone syncs Voice Memos after unchecking sync box in iTunes

I do not want to sync my voice memos from my iphone to itunes so i have unchecked the sync voice memos option and they still continue to sync over and itunes creates a playlist for voice memos. I have tried this numerous times and even after a restore it still happens? Anyone have any ideas?

It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
Keep in mind that if you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

Iphone not charging and continuously restarting when connected

Last night I let my iphone 4 run down to 2% charge. I plugged it into the charger (china one) and it would come up with the electricity symbol, but not be charging. I then connected it to my genuine apple charger and the same thing happened. It then continuously restarted, i.e. apple screen for a few seconds, then my pincode screen for a split second, then the thinking and restarting symbol (round in a circle) before going black for a few seconds then back to the apple screen. I couldn't get it out of this loop, so I connected it to my itunes. The same reboot happened once, then it came up with an error message
"itunes could not connect to this iphone beause an unknown error occurred (OxE8000065)"
The next morning I unplugged and replugged the phone into the mac and a different message popped up
"The iphone cannot be synced. An internal device error occured."
It did the restart again and I tried a reset (home and lock button) but it just went through the restart back to a black screen again.
I tried it in a different USB port and possibly coincidentally, it now says on itunes
"the phone "xx iphone" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
Now if I press the home button, the battery image comes up with minimal red bar. It does not go through the restart loop.
My thoughts - have I dropped it one too many times (as I had the day before) and the battery has come loose (won't charge)? If so I will pull it apart and have a look as it's 10 days out of warranty.
Should I try a DFU or Recovery mode whilst plugged into the mac? I have a back up on icloud but still chance to lose lots of data.
What do I try first or are there any other suggestions? And thank you for reading this long winded issue!

I ended up going to the Apple Store and they said it's a common problem. As my phone was out of warranty I had to pay for a refurbished one, but it still works 1 year later. Better than forking out $600 for a brand new one.

IPod syncs fine, new iPhone syncs but only loads apps/no iTunes music?

My iPod syncs fine but when I connect my new iPhone, it doesn't upload any of the music in my iTunes library. It only loaded the one app I had in the apps section. Ipod loads music library fine. Just don't know why iPhone says sync is complete but doesn't upload any music?
Help please.

Resolved by clearing videos from sync - apparently too large without notification of attempted sync.

Iphone 3G Charging issues after software upgrade

I recently upgraded my iphone 3G software to 3.0.1. Things were working just fine until this morning when i tried charging my phone by plugging it to a wall socket. I was surprised to learn that my phone would not charge. I then plugged it via USB to my computer and it started charging. I tried the following steps to resolve my phone's problem:
1. reset my phone settings;
2. hard reset; and
3. disable push for my accounts.
Despite following these steps, my phone would still not charge through an electrical outlet. Although it seems like a consolation that my phone would still charge via USB, I find it very inconvenient to lug my laptop around and open it every time I need to charge my phone. Hope to hear from those who have successfully dealt with this problem. Thanks in advance.

I have a similar issue - w/two different variants.
Charging was an issue before and after upgrade.
And the phone will charge if I try different outlets (sometimes as many as 4 or 5 which I think might be due to different circuit breakers) - once I get it working in one, then I can go back to the first outlet and the phone will charge when I plug it in.
I was about to post this concern in a separate thread (and still will) because this is a huge issue when I travel. I did swap my wall adapter without any change. My wife ALSO has the same issue with her 3G iPhone.
FRUSTRATING -

Iphone - sync with mac after previously using pc

I have recently bought a macbook after having always had a pc before. I have had an iphone for 2 years and synced it regularly with my pc. Now I want to sync it with my mac as I'll be using the mac ongoing but I'm afraid of losing the important info in my contacts and calendar when I do. How can I avoid this?
Thanks!

before you connect your iphone disable the automatic sync in itunes (choose itunes-settings-device, here you can disable it)
if you sync the first time, itunes asks you/you can choose between erase data or bring together or merge it, if you choose bring together/merge than all of your contacts/calendar data from iphone will appear on your mac

IPhone sync not working after upgrade to 2.02

Hi All,
I upgraded the firmware to 2.02 this morning, and now iTunes will not recognize my iphone when trying to sync. The phone appears in the itunes interface, but everytime I try to sync I get an error message that iTunes cannot find/sync my iPhone?
Anyone experienceing this? Any help?

Had same problem....Apple tech guided me through this procedure that worked fine...
1) Sync your phone so that everything on your computer is as it should be.
2) RESTORE phone to factory settings. This is a choice in iTunes under the Summary tab when you have your iPhone device selected.
3) During this procedure you will be asked if you want to SET AS NEW PHONE. It is important to select YES to this option. This procedure takes some time...15-30 minutes
4) Set up your options for syncing from iTunes under the Info tab. If you change any settings here and ALLOW it, syncing will automatically happen. Make sure your calendar is being synced.
5) Check out the results...should be good.....I needed to sync a number of times to get everything back to normal.
6) Since doing this, the calendar syncs as it should and did before the upgrade, alone with everything else I want to sync.
Good Luck

Drives no longer mount - Only after restart do they mount

Upgrade to from 10.4 to 10.5 and ran all updates...currently have 10.5.4. My external drives no longer mount when i plug them in via usb port. Worked perfectly before upgrade. Additionally my ipod wont mount either. They dont show up in disc utility either...However if i have these devices plugged in with the computer turned on (and they aren't mounting) and i restart my computer then when it boots up again they mount and function just fine. but if i unmount and turn them off and turn them back on...they dont mount.
any suggestions?

Hi grant862
I seam to be having the same issue. I have a number of Flash cards and a flash card reader, well tow card readers actually. I cant get the cards to mount. I have tried swapping usb cables and card readers. I have tried both readers in all my USB ports (17" Mac Book - 10.5.4). The only way that I can get them to mount is if I plug the cards back into the cam,eras an connect them. I think there is a software glitch somewhere. I don't think its the usb ports as I have tried keyboards and mice connected via these ports with no issue. I don't expect an answer to this, but Grant - if you are still out there - I wanted you to know you weren't alone. I am going to try re-installing the 10.5.4 combi download and see what happens. Oh yes and 'repair permissions' (which I have already done once...) but am beginning to think that this is just a bit like saying a mantra as a way of calming me.
...Ohmmm madhi padhi ohmmm....

Why do my input languages get reset to U.S. only after restarting?

I'm using an English Canadian keyboard on Mountain Lion, and every time I restart it gets reset to U.S. only. My Swedish and Canadian input sources completely disappear. Never had this problem until I upgraded to 10.8.2.

I have the same problem. I've tried to setup language preferences under root user but it didn't help.

Instances In recovery are getting recovered only after restart of server.

Hi All,
The issue I face is :There is a BPEL Process with a DB adapter which has to poll on a database.
Now my DB adapter polls,but the instance in EM remains in Recovery State.
From BPEL Service Engine even if I recover,they dont get recovered.
But,If I restart the server(SOA) and and From BPEL Service Engine if I recover,they get recovered.
SO,every Time I hav to restart the server.:-( :-(
Kindly ,suggest the solution.

The solution is either change the order of deployment or copy the FileAdapter.rar file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib location and restart the server as mentioned here.

USB keyboard recognized only after restarting.

Everytime I connect my USB keyboard to my rMBP I have to restart OS X to make it work. How can I make my MacBook recognize my USB keyboard without restarting?

Pre-to-Google sync works only after fiddling

My primary calendar account on my Pre is Google. So, if I create a new calendar item on the Pre, it is a Google item by default. However, it never syncs to my Google Calendar on the web.
To get it to sync, I must change the event's calendar specification from Google to Palm Profile, and then back to Google. Then it syncs to Google OK.
This is a real pain. I hope this gets fixed in the near future.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I have had this same problem with my Google calendar too. And, it has been a nagging problem from the beginning. Events that I enter on my Pre inconsistently sync with my Google calendar. Sometimes they sync and sometimes they don't. If I do the work around of changing the event to a Palm Profile event and then back to a Google calendar event, the sync will finally take place.
The reverse direction does not appear to have a problem, i.e., if I create an event onGoogle calendar, it syncs consistently down to my Pre.
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but my Google account is a Google Apps account, rather than a plain vanilla Gmail account. Theoretically, this should not make a difference, but thought I would throw it out there just in case it helps to track this bug down.

Exporting jpgs worked only after restart

Hi!
What I did:
- Exported some RAWs to JPGs with constrained size. Worked as expected. (Don't know wheter this has something to do with the following:)
- Exported some RAWs to JPGs with full size. The JPGs appeared just for 0.5 seconds in the export folder, den disappeared. After the export, LR said "Error during export. Ignore/Show". No hint what went wrong.
- When I then exported the same RAWs with constrained size 1000x1000, it worked! When changing the size to 1500x1500 or more, I got the same error message again.
- Then I closed LR and started it again. Interesting: I had the same collection of error-RAWs again ;-) Then I tried the full size export again, and it worked.
Strange bug.

Hi, Claus
Sorry for warming up an old thread.
How did you reinstall SLES?
May be you changed some network parameters?
