ITunes not detecting iPhone3Gs after mac os archive and install

My Itunes 9.0.2 no longer detects my iPhone no matter what I do, but detects my iPod Classic fine!
I've tried a master reset etc. and it's to no avail! Anybody having the same problem? Any tips?!
Thanks.

Did you make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Are you using the original USB cable that came with the phone and is the phone plugged in directly in one of the USB ports?

  • Finder not responding after Archive and install

    I recently encountered my first problem ever with my mac(new in '05) This is the first mac I have owned; I have worked on G3's and G4's in the past. After reading through many message boards and support pages I don't believe my problem to be similar but different to previous posts.
    My problem started off with an OS problem that I was able to diagnose in the "help" book I purchased when Leopard came out. It said I should Archive and Install to remedy the problem and keep my files. I ran the archive the install (it gave me no options to preserve user or network settings). After Archive and install my computer started up alright, but I got the permanent beachball and the finder does not work. it is constantly non responsive. I can relaunch finder, but after it restarts it goes non responsive immediately once again. So I can't actually access my "previous system" folder to move anything over. I checked my dock items and finder, they opened, but my itunes asked for an update. I list of update items came up; I did the non-restart items first. they updated fine, (my itunes old itunes playlists are viewable but not playable now) then I did the items that required a restart. That is when I found out that I could not shut down or restart my computer with std. procedures.
    Currently I can only access my spotlight or apple pull down menu if I am in a functioning dock program (safari or itunes, quicktime. etc.) after reading some more support pages it looked like the common thing to do was check permissions and verify disk. I did, I repaired two permissions and the disk was OK. I did look at the HD files, they were as I remembered, but unaccessible (greyed out) and the "previous system" folder was present. +It didn't look like I would expect. The HD looked same as it used to just with a previous system folder.+ After checking the permissions and verified the disk I tried a hard restart. It came back the same as before, unresponsive finder and only the few dock items worked along with spotlight. I checked permissions and disk verify again and everything was OK.
    Sorry to be long winded I am trying to be thorough...In short, My finder does not work after doing an Archive and Install to fix my original problem (which has been fixed)...the remedy for an unresponsive finder is to do an archive and install. Is another archive and install really going to fix my problem? Can I archive and install OSX 10.4 and work my way back up to 10.5.6?
    Secondly is there a way to restart my computer without doing another hard restart?

    It won't let me add a new account. I am locked out and when I try to unlock it gives me the beachball and becomes non responsive after it tries to authenticate.
    I looked at the log file, I am not sure what exactly to look for. I am no programer. I see an awful lot of negative wording. I see some errors like "error (-4956) locating menu extra but they are mostly under system preferences...I see some stuff in the loginwindow that says is not a full path... Otherwise, the only reference I see to the finder is when I have force quit the finder.

  • Spell check issue after 'archive and install'

    hi,
    after doing an 'archive and install', the apple spell check doesn't work no more. whatever program i use with the spell check activated will give me a failure notice as soon as i start typing "spell check could not be detected" (or sthg similar, i get the message in german). the result is a close-to-freeze of that program until i 'okay' the notification.
    anybody an idea how to properly (re-)instal the spell check so that my OS recognizes it?
    thanks and greets!

  • Lost files after doing Archive and Install

    After I did Archive and Install I went to the home screen and all my files were gone. Where are they save? I'm not talking about my applications, I'm talking about documents and iTunes music,etc.
    Please help.

    I assume you did not check the option to preserve users and network settings when you did the Archive and Install. You will find everything in the Previous System Folder.
    See How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

  • Getting My Mac Book Pro in Order Post Archive and Install

    Hi there,
    My 17" Macbook Pro recently closed down on me, giving me three longs beeps and not starting up again. I archived and installed, for the first time ever, and was relieved when my Mac bumped back into life with all of my work and apps stashed away in 'Previous Systems'. I then embarked on going through 'Disk Utility' to create a disk image of the preserved work (I was following advice from the Mac support site) but the down load process was so slow I gave up and have resorted to sorting through the previous system manually and dragging info across into the new setup. I am completely green to this and have no idea if I am doing the right thing?
    However, I also have some issues:
    My spotlight search does not work, I type in a search item then get the spinning wheel, and spotlight closes down?
    I want to reset my mail to just the way it was, with all my old sent and received messages. I can't even get mail to work, I get:
    The server error encountered was: The server “[email protected]” cannot be contacted on port 110.
    Any advice here?
    I am running OSX 10.5 and I tried to do the hardware test but the computer told me it cannot be run on this computer??
    Thanks in advance
    James

    Your profile says you have a Powerbook, and yet your question is regarding a MacBook Pro. MacBook Pros and Powerbooks are totally different machines on the inside. If the issue is with the MacBook Pro, you need the MacBook Pro installer discs to run the hardware test. If it is with a Powerbook, then you need the Powerbook installer discs. If you have the correct discs according to this, it may be your firmware installation at one point failed. That's sometimes the reason for the three long tones. Here's a guide to the tones at startup on Intel Macs (MacBook Pros):

  • Blank File Info panel after osx archive and install (CS5)

    Hi,
    After osx archive and install I get a blank File Info panel (into AI, PS, ID and other CS5 applications), how could be solved this??
    Best regards, Robert

    Hi,
    solved by full remove/install CS5.. but how could be restored correct access rights?
    Also replied me Vikas.Sharma:
    Create a new text file named XMP.cfg (make sure the extension is cfg and not txt).
    The only text that needs to be in that file is as below:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/
    Restart the Adobe application and check the File Info panel again.
    You need to copy that file to /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there)
    but, why osx archive and install isnt working fine with flash?
    The only troubles (solved) are quicklook flv contents and XMP file info panes into all CS5 applications, could be solved next time by a short and fast procedure?
    Best regards, Robert

  • Lost MPEG-2 after archive and install

    I bought and used the MPEG-2 playback component but MPEG Streamclip no longer believes it is installed after a recent archive and install of Leopard.
    I still have my confirmation email of purchase, but there's no indication as to how to reinstall or repair MPEG-2.
    What do I need to do to restore Quicktime and especially MPEG-2?

    I'd recommend saving your (paid-for) QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg file on your local disk. This would go for any software you pay for and then download online, especially if it can be accidentally wiped out by an OS upgrade.

  • HELP! Problem after Archive and Install

    I need help. I did an Archive and install because I was having problems with my ical not opening. I did the archive and install without checking the "preserve settings" box. I want to know what I need to transfer from either the "previous system" folder that was created when I did the archive and install or a back up I have on a seperate hard drive so that I can get all of my info back (ie: mail, addresses, bookmarks etc.). I am also having problems with some 3rd party software. For instance, when I open password plus I don't have access to all of my saved info.
    I am feeling overwhelmed right now and know I am not thinking clearly. Do I just copy and paste from the previous system folder to the new system folder?

    No, making an image won't help. There isn't anything you really need to copy from the /Library/ folder unless it's in the /Library/Applications Support/ folder in which case you shouldn't have any permissions problems unless you reinstalled your OS and used a different username and password. In this case you will have to change to ownership and permissions to enable moving the folders. In some cases try moving the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself.

  • Blank iTunes library after Archive and Install

    My PowerBook G4 suffered a catastrophic crash and after advice from Apple support, the only way I could restart it was to perform an Archive and Install. Before this, I couldn't start the machine and therefore couldn't back anything up. Everything seems to be all right after the Archive and Install except that my iTunes library is completely blank, and the old library is not anywhere on the hard drive. All of the songs are still on my iPod - is there any way to get them back into the library? I don't want to connect the iPod and lose everything I have now.
    Thanks!
    PowerBook G4 867 Mhz   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    From the Keyboard Shortcuts in the iTunes Help menu:
    iPod shortcuts
    Prevent iPod from automatically updating when you connect it to your computer
    Command-Option as you connect the iPod to your computer (hold the keys down until the iPod appears in the iTunes Source list)
    After that, use an application like Senuti or iPodRip (latest versions on versiontracker.com) to transfer the contents of your iPod to the computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • 3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

    hi,
    i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
    i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
    i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
    well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
    but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
    also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
    once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
    is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
    cheers for the help
    lib

    Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
    HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
    If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

  • What should i do if my external hard drive is not detected by my mac

    what should i do if my external hard drive is not detected by my mac?
    need to have the files saved on it and be able to backup via time machine

    Hi:
    Here are some of the options I've read about on here that may or may not work:
    1. Reset the NVRAM as it may need to be reset to recognize the drive. See below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    2. If the drive is a USB drive, put a USB hub between the drive and the unit. As ridiculous as that may sound in some cases it works.
    3. If you have some types of hardware problems and want to test them this works:
    http://scsc-online.com/Scannerz.html
    That's a test tool only. It isn't going to fix anything just diagnose a bunch of possible hardware problems and it costs money, too.
    What format is the drive in? Is it a Mac native format like HFS or is it some other format, like NTFS or FAT?

    Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
    My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.
