Iphone4 and MacbookPro not synching or connecting...

I just bought a used Macbook Pro to replace my Powerbook G4. I was hoping to be able to finally synch my iphone 4 to my computer, as well as run current versions of all my software etc, however... I'm having some problems.
When I try to plug my iphone into the macbook, neither will detect the other.
The macbook will detect other USB devices (midi controller etc) in Audio Midi Setup
The phone does not get any power out of the USB (not charging)
ITunes is the most current version (no updates available) 11.0.1
Any suggestions?
I've tried restarting the computer, then my iphone, while both are connected.
I've tried several different iphone/ipod cables i have. All of which have worked with my Car's Audio System's USB input, and with my iphone wall charger, and even at least sent power to my Iphone via my powerbook g4 even though it couldn't connect to itunes with the older version.
Thank you very much!

Possibly either damaged pins in the iPhone socket or a faulty USB cable. Also, some computers do not provide enough power via the USB port to charge an IOS device. What is the battery status indicator (top right of the display) showing when connected to your PC?
Do you have access to another cable or a mains charger?

I synch my iPad, iPhone4 and MacBookPro iCal through ICloud. All calanders except one synch on my MacBook, although all others synch across all devices. Any clues?

I synch my iPad, iPhone4 and MacBookPro through ICloud. All calanders on iCal, except one, synch on my MacBook, although all others synch across all devices. I receive the following error message "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." with no idea how to remedy.

I've just noticed the same problem. My iCloud account had disappeared from the Calendar app. When I added it again, same error "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed."

IPhone and IPad not synching wirelessly

iPad and iPhone not synching wirelessly or even when connected to iMac. iMac sees and tries to synch but devices not responding. Seem to work fine yesterday. Wondering if I changed something in settings?

I just downloaded the new I tunes and was having trouble getting into the iTunes store. I then noticed that neither my iphone4s or iPad 2 were showing up in the right side list.
The right side list? Where is this area that you are talking about? My iDevices appear on the left side of the iTunes window when iTunes is running. I sync with WiFi.
I charge my iPhone every other day and my iPad every few days so they should synch. Have it set up in iTunes correctly.
What does charging either device have to do with syncing?
I need to do the synch manually ? Does this have something to do with not being able to get into I tunes store on desktop? It just hangs
If iTunes just hangs, I think it can be safely assumed that you might not be able to sync.
Frankly I am just a bit confused by your explanation on what is going on with your devices and iTunes.

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download. They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod. How can I get all of my songs back?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database ORA-200001

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database gives ORA-200001.
i found on net that DBA can write triggers which can deny connection to database from certain appplication.
so i want a way to change application name so that when it connects to database
the V$SESSION will have different value (other than SQL Developer) in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE (which i think is used by dba to restrict the connection).
one more way is
i am using jdbc url to connect to database
in java we can change properties of connection to change the PROGRAM in V$SESSION.
but i am not java expert so dont know how and where to make the changes
either way my aim is to connect to database such that V$SESSION will have different value (other than "SQL Developer") in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE

This is not system configration or credential issue.
This is a check which is put DBA using logon trigger
to check certain user loging in using certain application.
only some users using particular username are getting this error when they try to logon using oracle sql developer
the same users when uses different username(some generic user names created to access database) to access the same database then they are able to login.
similarly if they login using SQL navigator they are able to login with both their own and the generic user name
more over of all the database instances this is only happening on some of the instances and all of them are development instances.
following will help you understand
USER | DBUSERNAME | DATABASE | APPLICATION | ACTION
X | X | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Blocked
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
I just want to bypass this check which i think uses V$SESSION and columns PROGRAM and/or MODULE to check the application used by particular user.
if i can override these values some where in oracle sql developer before loging in the DB then i can clearly pass this check and login to database.

Cloud not synching between phone/imac/mac book pro, calendar and addresses not synching.

addresses and calendar not synching between 3 devices.. phone, iMac and mac book pro.
dates are correct, iCloud is on for those applications. etc.

Your profile shows that you are running OS X 10.6.7. If that's true, you will need to update a iCloud requires OS X 10.7.5 or later. If you are running a more recent version of OS X and your data still isn't syncing, check to be sure of the following:
That your Mac and iOS devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have Calendars and Contacts turned on in Settings (System Preferences)>iCloud.
That you have selected iCloud as your Default Account for contacts in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Contacts (Address Book)>Preferences>General on your Macs.
That you have selected an iCloud calendar as your Default Calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Calendar (iCal)>Preferences>General on your Macs.

What is error 1202? I cannot connect to itunes store. i have downloaded the latest version of itunes and still not able to connect to itunes store.

For those who are getting annoyed, I have found a solution which requires you to create a new apple ID without using credit card information:
1. Go the app store
2. Hit cancel when it asks you to sign in (If it doesn't, continue to step 3)
3. Find a free app and try to download it
4. you to sign in option will appear, it will ask you if you want to use existing ID or create a new apple id. SELECT CREATE NEW APPLE ID
5. Follow the steps and when it gets to the stage it asks you for your card info, Choose 'None'
6. Full in all you name and address etc... And click next.
7. Verify your email and Enjoy downloading FREE apps
8. Say thank you as I do appreciate your love :)

You just need to reset the ipod by holding down the sleep button and home button for ipod touch or the menu and centre button on others for about 10 seconds

Ipod touch 4th gen..updated to the most recent iOS and can not synch to get my apps and music back

... my ipod locked up. I found the instructions to reboot. I then had to reset it to factory settings. Now the ipod will not synch to bring back all my apps and music (which I can see on my itunes account). When I connect to the computer with the USB cable, it opens up itunes and goes right to the 'set up your ipod' screen and asks me to restore from a backup. I have done this at least three times. I even dissabled my security / antivirus software and still no success. What steps am I missing?

If he still has any backup, for example as part of the computer backup routine, he could restore the settings and data again by replacing the iTunes backup folder. The folder is located here:
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

My ipod 5g says it is 1969 and will not let me connect to the internet

When I charged my ipod touch 5g and it turned on it said it's 1969 and won't let me connect to the internet. I've restarted my ipod, I've tried resetting all settings including network and I tried connecting it to itunes but it won't connect to itunes due to an unknown error. How do I get my ipod to connect to the wifi and reset to the correct date and time?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Unable to connect to WIFI- I have been using touch in India and it was working fine. Now I moved to USA and its not able to connect

I have done RESET network setting, reset the IPOD with no data lost and all- still not able to connect
All other devices at my room are connecting and everything is fine.
can you please help me out in resolving the issue?
Ashwin.

If this did not help:
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Last, restore the iPod, first from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod

Audio and Video not synching after export

I've uploaded DV from my camera into iMovie. In iMovie, audio and video are synching perfectly, but when I export to Quicktime they are off by about a second (or two). I've tried several different "expert settings," but still no dice. I've not had this problem occur before, so I'm confused. Anyone?

Make sure none of your clips are using custom slow motion percentages. Only use what the slow motion slider snaps to. I had the same problem and once I changed my percentages to what iMovie wanted everything exported correctly.
