ITunes does NOT detect network connection when I use a 3G modem

Hi
since christmas iTunes has not been able to update when i commute, using a 3G USB modem. Over enabled and live WLAN or Ethernet interfaces everything works fine, but TCPdump does not register any packets at all from iTunes when only the USB 3G modem is up. All other networking activities work in this state, but iTunes erronously thinks there is no network and doesn't even initiate network activity.
Seems iTunes tries to be smart by detecting "is there network" by asking something in the OS, rather than trying?
Is this a bug? Am I the only one experiencing this? Is this isolated to my particular 3G modem/ISP? I don't think so...
thanks for any enlightenment,
peter

Hi. Just go a bit further by process of elimination which you've already started. Here's a couple more things you can try.
1. Different USB cable?
2. Try plugging into another computer just to see if your iPhone will get recognised then.
If it still deosn't work then I can only assume that the handset itself has developed some kind of fault, in which case, just book a 'Genius' appointment at your local Apple store asap and get it replaced.

Windows nor iTunes does not detect my iphone when I plug it in

Please help, when I first got my iphone 4, itunes and my computer can detect it. Then one day, it didn't detect it anymore. I have tried everything this website has to offer. I even called Apple tech support, and their final solution to my problem was to upgrade to Windows 7. That is BS. It use to work, but I don't know why it is not working now. I have tried all the 5 R's( reinstall, restore, ...etc), but still nothing.
Here is a list of things I have done already:
1) Reinstalled iTunes and all apple mobile software according to Apple tech support
2) was on the phone with apple tech support for close to 2 hours, when finally, they recommended I upgrade to windows 7
3) tried all USB ports in my computer with no change
4) prayed to God for guidance and strength
Please, anybody, please help me. thank you

All the best,

Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC? You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
Hope this helps

HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Windows 7 does not detect network hardware

Using Boot Camp, I installed Windows 7.
After restarting the computer it does not detect network hardware.
So I cannot connect to my Wifi.
What should I do?

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? It was the first menu item when you ran Bootcamp Assistant. If not, run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the menu item to download the Windows Support software. Read the Bootcamp Installation Guide. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

ITunes does not detect iPhones/iPods - tried everything

Okay, so 2 months ago I got my new Macbook Pro 17". iTunes wouldn't detect my iphone or any other iphone. I tried everything suggested on these forums (hopefully not true), but couldn't get it to work. I gave up and was hoping some sort of itunes update would solve it. Well itunes has been updated and even the OS has been updated to Snow Leopard. It didn't help
I am willing to try anything you suggest, so please keep them coming. Really want to get this sorted now.
Thanks so much for all your help.

Great to hear you have resolved the problem. I am running Tiger 10.4.7 not your 10.6.1 which I beleive is Leopard which I cannot update to as my computer is not suitable. Have you heard if anyone with my OS version has had success. I have tried removing iTunes v9 and then downloading v8.2.1, however I am still unable to gat iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone and iTunes does not acknowledge the connection in the side bar.
Suggestions please.
Peter

Photo Downloader does not detect Thunderbolt connection. Help!

I am using Bridge CS5.1 on MacBook OSX 10.8.3. I bought a Seagate Thunderbolt Adapter which works with 2.5" eSATA hard drives (Seagate Backup Plus). Instead of connecting a 2.5" eSATA to this Thunderbolt Adapter to my Mac, I am doubling this thunderbolt connection as a CF card reader by swapping the eSATA portable drive with a CF to eSATA Adapter instead. Photo Downloader does not detect anything connected through thunderbolt!?
When the CF card or portable drive is connected via the TB adapter, it appears in Bridge and Finder. The Canon's Image Browser (Memory Card Utility) detects only the CF card (not the portable drive) as a Camera and downloads the images from the CF card via the thunderbolt adapter with no issues. I would prefer Bridge to download the images due how the folder names are created by Bridge. (I have been using Bridge for few years now and dont want to change the naming convention. Can't seem to find a way for Canon to name it exactly the same as Bridge. It does YYYY_MM_DD amd I cant get rid of the underscores in Canon's software)
How can I get Photo Downloader (File: Get Photos from Camera...) on Bridge CS5.1 to detect the Thunderbolt connection as a Camera?
Excuse my messy desk, here's a pic of the set up with the CF card plugged into the CF to eSATA adapter : and onto the Seagate TB Adapter. and the TB cable goes into the Mac

It works perfectly well. My issue is getting Adobe Bridge 5.1 to recognise the CF card via thunderbolt in photo downloader.
Despite having bought a MacPro just a few months ago I still have no Thunderbolt connection so i can't confirm this.
I do know Photodownloader has not changed a bit since it was presented long time ago and definitively needs a lot of improvement.
It is very possible that Photodownloader is not capable detecting thunderbolt connections and Canon software doing so does almost proof APDL does not do so.
You can try to dive in the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go and press option to reveal it) and in the folder preferences find and delete the Photodownloader plist file manual.
restart photodownloader and try again.
The other option is to use a USB 3.0 or Firewire (both also pretty fast).
The third option is to use Bridge itself for renaming the files you imported manual. Using the sort order creation date and batch rename use the option for shot date (yymmdd-number or other info) and either organize with stacks or create folders.
There is also a nice app (not free but cheap called 'big mean folder machine" from the same team that offers 'A better finder rename'.
Both offer plenty of options that makes life easier, such as producing folders with specific naming and order in no time

HT1414 I "Erased all content and settings" and now my itunes does not recognize my iphoe when i plug it in. Plus my iphone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did i do?

I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.
