ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

Sent Mail folder empty after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Writing for a friend:
This is for their PowerPC G5. Running OS 10.5. Mail - version 3.
When they upgraded from Tiger to Leopard (not an Erase and Install), their Sent Mail folder in Mail was empty of any sent mail.
However, I can see they have sent mail in their Home/Library/Mail folder.
How to I get Sent Mail in Mail to see this?
(Drag and drop does not seem to work. I tried to drag and drop one saved mail from the Home Library/Mail folder into the Sent Mail folder in Mail and it didn't take).
They have only one email account.
Thank you,
- Ross

Lonnie, thanks
Mailbox behaviors set up exactly as you describe, "Store sent messages on server" is checked and "Delete" set "Never".
Rebuild doesn't really help.
I use Kerio 6.0.6 mail server, with IMAP (143) for incoming and SMTP (25) for sending.
And it works already like four or five years without problems.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Leo.

No 'Line input' option in sound prefs after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

I have connected guitars and mics using Garageband 3 without a problem, until upgrading from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8.
I'm not getting sound from the guitar apart from feedback when I plug it in to the audio line-in port on my iMac G5.
I have read many of the questions and comments in the relevant forums all pointing to selecting the line-in option of the input tab in the sound preferences window.
I only have the 'internal mic' appearing in that window now.
I've checked that the cables are working correctly on a guitar amp and are fine.
So not sure why I don't get the 'Line-in' option anymore.
Are there any patches/updates to cure this problem, or would updating to Garageband 9 cure the problem?
Thanks,
Mick

Yes, checked the 'Audio MIDI Setup' utility and can select Line-in from there.
All working fine now!
Thanks very much for your help.
Mick

Did you need to reinstall FCS after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard?

Need to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard mid FCP/Motion3 project and without FCS2 discs handy...I can't access them til after the project deadline.
I've read in a KB article that 'most' of the apps are ok after the upgrade-what's your experience?

Don't even think about it unless
#1 You MUST have a new OS to complete the project (i.e. new plug-in only works in 10.5)
AND
#2 You'll have a lot of extra time on your hands to reinstall everything when FCS doesn't quite work the way you need it to.
Of course you're familiar with the recommendation to clone your system before ANY upgrade.

ITunes is not recognizing my iPod Touch After iTunes froze during a sync!

Okay... i was syncing my second gen iPod Touch (16gb) with iTunes and everything was going normally, until iTunes froze on my windows PC!!!
Then, i had to use ctrlaltdel (task manager) to end task for iTunes. When i restarted iTunes to try and sync my iPod Touch, it asked me if i wanted to enable syncing. I clicked yes, and then it said sync services could not find information on this device.
I had NEVER tried to jailbreak my iPod Touch, i just installed 3.0 yesterday, and sync was working perfectly. I didnt have any problems.
Please help me. How do i fix this? i looked on apple.com and they said to reinstate the Apple Mobile Device Service, which i DID. i followed their instructions to the letter, but nothing has worked. Im really scared! i payed $300 for this iPod and while everything works, it wont let me sync to iTunes!!!

OK, no need to panic. Most everything is fixable.
First off, reset your touch. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo. Let go and let it restart.
Reboot your PC. When it is done, check to see if Apple Mobile Device Services are running. If they are, plug in your iPod. What happens?
Does anything pop up like a camera notification, or your PC reports it can't recognize this device?
If you get the camera notification, you will have to disable that before itunes will see your iPod. Search Support for an answer to that.
If you are still having problems, completely remove all Apple software from your computer (iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, QuickTime) and download and re-install iTunes.

Can't undo a Huge Mouse Pointer after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.

I did an upgrade from Leopard to Tiger.
When I was on Tiger, I had a setting for a huge mouse pointer. I upgraded to Leopard. No matter how many times I reset the pointer to small, when restarting it goes back to huge.
How can I fix this?

gaccawi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No matter how many times I reset the pointer to small, when restarting it goes back to huge.
That statement indicates to me that you have made this attempt using System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse>For difficulties seeing the mouse...Normal.
If that is the true, have you previously installed any third party pointer software?
;~)

Missing accounts after upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 today and in Mail, all but one of my accounts and their associated inboxes are missing. I've installed the recent Mail fix file (10.5.6). All my stored old e-mails are there. I can't see any of my other e-mail addresses or any e-mails that are in them.
I have a .mac account with 2 additional .mac mail addresses and also 3 POP accounts. In the Inbox, the only e-mail that shows up is that for my main .mac account. I've deleted the mail.plist file and re-imported the mailboxes and they still don't show up.
Can anyone help?

By going to my Mail folder in my Library folder (~/Library/Mail) and deleting all files except any folders and then opening Mail and re-importing, everything comes up properly.

Itunes won't detect ipod touch after upgrade to firmware 1.1.4

I am in desperate need of help. My 16GB Ipod is no longer being detected by iTunes.
I decided to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.4. through iTunes. The update wasn't interrupted and i can see no issues during the procedure. when the update was completed, my iPod had no content in it and it wasn't showing up in iTunes.
Here's what i've tried so far to correct this:
- Uninstalled iTunes and all other apple related software and then re-installed
- tried different USB ports on my laptop
- Reset all setting within the ipod
- Run the iTunes diagnostic. It error's out during the sync test.
I've tried to find any other similar example on other sites but haven't been successful.
Please help.

These are other hints http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22

Airport Extreme not working properly after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

I've been using the Airport on a home network to share internet between a Mac & PC via ethernet. I don't use wireless. My internet provider is comcast via cable modem. During the Leopard install the Airport asked for a firmware update to 7.3.2. So I installed the update during the transition. I lost internet connection. I resolved this by calling comcast- who reset my modem. This got the Mac connected again but not the PC. When I attempt to share the connection via the Airport utility, I loose internet again.
The error message is:
Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network, verify your settings, and try again. If you still can't connect, contact your internet provider
What is a valid IP address? How can I determine what it is?
Also, I cannot see the PC on the network.
I've attempted going back to the previous firmware (7.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem
I'm connected to the internet now by taking the airport out of the loop and going directly into the Mac from the Modem.
Thanks Steve

Cannot access mail after upgrading from tiger to leopard

When I accessed Mail from applications after installing leopard I received the following message "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of MacOSX" any advice please?

Hello Hannah:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I think we need a bit more information.
What method did you use to upgrade?
What Mail level is on your system (highlight the Mail icon in your application folder and then +"get info.")+

Postfix doesn't send mail after upgrade from tiger to leopard

Here is what's in my /var/log/mail.log:
Dec 31 08:26:01 weegee postfix/master[257]: master exit time has arrived
Dec 31 08:26:01 weegee postfix/master[258]: daemon started -- version 2.4.3, co\
nfiguration /etc/postfix
Repeated lots of times. I already changed my main.cf to use _postfix and _postdrop.
Thanks for the help.

I figured this out myself. The system upgrade didn't upgrade /etc/postfix/master.cf for some reason. Instead it left a new default in /etc/postfix/master.cf.system_default. Copying that over master.cf and reloading postfix did the trick.

Admin group has wrong gid after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

Under Tiger I unfortunately made by login as admin. This worked OK under tiger, but created confusion under Leopard. The final result is that the admin group has the gid of 501 and the gid of 80 has an (unknown) name. Repairing permissions under Leopard caused all of Apples applications and system type folder and files to have the group 80(unknown). I can see from discussion forums and other native Leopard machines that gid 80 is supposed to be named admin and is for, well, Admins.
I created a new user, gave him administrative rights and migrated the old "admin" user's files, folders, etc. to the new user and removed the admin user through the Accounts GUI. That new user and all other administrative users are members of group 501(admin), but NOT of 80(unknown).
How can I remove the current admin group (501), give the admin group name to 80 and have the administrative users join group 80?

Itunes not recognizing my ipod after restoring it

My ipod decided to go crazy on me, so I followed the 5 r's. After restoring the ipod it is no longer being recognized. I have restarted my computer, downloaded the latest software, used different usb ports but to no avail.
There is no icon in devices that pops up. When i run a diagnostic is states that an ipod is connected.
Any helps?
