IPhone won't mount on MacBook Pro

Has awlays mounted via USB port no problem until a couple of days ago. MacBook does not see the iphone when connected via USB, and the iphone will not charge. iPhone will charge when connected to AC power. iphone does not show up in System Profiler.
So far I have tried:
- Rebooting MacBook
- Restarting iPhone
- Tried every USB port
- Re-installing iTunes.
No luck. Am running OS X 10.5.6 Intel on MacBook
Any help appreciated!!!

Have you tried reset:
Page 34 of the manual:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "

  • New Lacie Rugged Thunderbolt External Drive won't mount on Macbook Pro 8,1

    I've searched, and am coming up empty handed. Any help would be appreciated.
    So I own a late 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1. that's running version 10.9.5.
    I bought a brand new Lacie Rugged Thunderbolt External HD that won't mount via Thunderbolt, though it works fine with the USB. Any ideas as to why the Thunderbolt connection isn't working?

    Silly question, but - did the drive come with a Thunderbolt cable or did you purchase one with the drive?
    Call back...

  • ExFAT formated harddrive won't mount on Macbook Pro

    My job recently gave me a 4tb G-Tech G-Drive to access video and audio files to edit. The drive works fines on my bosses Windows computer and the drive is formatted for exFAT but it won't mount on my Macbook Pro. My OSX is 10.8.4 and the drive appears in the disk ulities and when I try to repair, it says this:
    Verify and Repair volume “disk2s1”
    Checking file systemChecking volume.
    Checking main boot region.
    Main boot region is invalid.  Trying alternate boot region.
    Checking alternate boot region.
    Alternate boot region is invalid.
    The volume  could not be verified completely.
    Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    I don't have the option to reformat as this is a work external and I don't want to do anything that will erase the files and I also don't have access to the windows computer. Is there a way to access the files or fix this or will I have to go through the long process of giving the hard drive back to my boss and waiting for him to reformat the drive and giving it back? And if he does give it back and the same problem happens, how can I fix this? I read about cluster sizes above 1024 Mac OSX doesn't read it, is this true ? I really need to fix this.

    Okay to get to the point plain and simple, Macs cannot read ex-fat or NTFS drives, they have to be fat32 to be compatiable, unfortunately the only solution is to get a pc and then re-format the drive as fat32 or deafult and do quick format. then and only then can you do cross-platform. hope it helps.
    P.S. You could drag the files onto a PC and then reformat it and drag the files back. of course they would have to be under 4Gb

  • IPhone won't connect to Macbook Pro Hotspot!

    When I make my Macbook Pro into a hotspot my iPhone won't connect to the network. It'll detect, but won't connect. Running OS X 10.8.2 and  iOS 6.1 on an iPhone 5. Help!

  • IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

    My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
    Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    iPhone 7.1
    iTunes 11.1.5
    Last time I synced was March 17.  Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone.  None on the laptop.
    I'm so annoyed.
    I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff.  Just can't get it to work.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Nevermind.  After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
    I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
    The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
    No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
    I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can I transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?

    I have taken my photos on my iPhone and broken them down into separate album folders. When I sync my iPhone to my laptop, it will transfer the pictures over, but not in the separate album folders I've created on my iPhone.
    Can I somehow transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?
    Why won't the "Album Folders" transfer over? I know I can create separate folders directly on my laptop, but that doesn't help with transferring the folders from my iPhone over to my laptop or iPad.

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Cheers,

    You cannot merge accounts.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • External USB Maxtor One-Touch 3  suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:

    External USB HD suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:
    My One Touch III 600GB drive, external power supply, suddenly will not mount and is not recognized by the system profiler or Disk Utility, however, drive, connected USB, appears under windows XP.
    1. Power cable and usb cable working.
    2. Using external AC adapter(not relying on USB power).
    3. Other USB devices, mice, flash drives work on both USB ports.
    4. Drive works on Windows, folders and data integrity ok.
    5. Drive format is NTFS.
    6. No Maxtor software installed.
    7. No humming or strange noises emanating from drive.
    8. No problem to January 14, 2008,
    9. Mac OS 10.4.10 updates last downloaded and installed Jan 20, 2008.
    10.1 blip of the light on "The One Touch Button", then light turns solid white.
    Questions:
    1. Does Apple set sleep or lock switch for devices (drives)?
    2. If so, can it be reset manually?
    3. Does Apple have configuration profile for devices, like a registry key?
    4. If so, where is it located?
    Configuration:
    Dual 2 GHz MacBook Pro 15”
    2 GB DDR SDRAM
    OSX 10.4.10
    2 USB Ports Left and Right

    NOTE: This Update is required when using a OneTouch Drive as a bootable device. Seagate suggests that you dismount and disconnect your FireWire Drive before continuing.
    Users have identified issues when connecting OneTouch External Drives to FireWire Ports on their Mac G4 and/or G5 computers. These Problems range from system hangs, kernel panics to slow data transfer rates. The cause of these problems has been traced back to the FireWire Driver. Seagate has resolved these problems through updated FireWire Drivers.

  • HOW DO I DOWNLOAD IPHONE MUSIC & videos to my MacBook Pro?

    What is the exact procedure for downloading my Iphone videos & music to my MacBook Pro.?

    Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
    Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
    Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead  into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
    Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
    That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes.  I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders.  That is done in preferences.  That's not how iTunes works.  William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided.
