IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

Hi!
I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                  - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                  - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                  - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                     when connected to the MacBook Pro.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
Thanks for your help!

OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!

How do I transfer music from my ipod or macbook pro (itunes) to my ipad

How do you transfer music from my macbook pro to someone's Ipad?

This doesn't appear to be an option anymore.
I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.

Printing wireless via Macbook Pro but not via iPad

I was able to install, print my HP Deskjet InkAdvantage 3515 from my Macbook Pro but when tried printing using my iPad, AirPrint printer not available. How come? Did set-up wireless config in printer too.

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

Address book entries doubling on macbook pro, but not on ipad or iphone, latest everything. Any suggestions?

Using icloud, address are correct on iphone 4s, and ipad version 1, but are doubling on my macbook pro. All updates are current. Any suggestions? Driving me crazy.

Check the duplicate contacts are not in another account other than your iCloud account. Turn to Users and Groups view to see what accounts you have.

Macbook Pro will not recognise WD external hardrive

Hello,
My hard drive, which has all my time machine back ups on it, just stopped working. It was working fine last week when I last backed up, however when I plugged it in to my macbook pro today my computer would not recognise it. I am quite worried as my hard drive has all my files and photos on it.
I believe the model of my hard drive is a WD 1TB external hard drive, and it is a few years old. I have never had any problems to date.
When I tried to use disk utility though, it picked up the hard drive in there but said it needed to be repaired but would not repair it.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this or what my next steps should be?

First see if another computer recognizes it. If not, it's possible the drive is still good and the circuit board in the drive housing has failed. That's relatively common. If that's what it is you need to get the actual drive out of the WD housing and into another external enclosure. Something like this:

HT202731 Yosemite on new MacBook Pro is not recognising Seagate or Lacie external hard drives

My Lacie external drive and Seagate external drive are not being recognised by my new MacBook Pro 13" retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Initially the Lacie worked, but that has dropped out - cannot find it in disk utilites.
Lacie is recognised by my friends computer with Maverick - OS X 10.9.5. Currently downloading data and will try to reconfigure the external drive. Is Yosemite truly not acknowledging other drivers? USB memory key is fine. Lacie has been my back up for some years, also Seagate, but on older computers. Suggestions needed to resolve this please.

Contact the manufacturers of Lacie and Seagate. You need to determine if the models that you have are compatible w/your new OS system and/or comp.

13" MacBook Pro 2012 Not Recognising USB Devices on OSX 10.9.1

Hello,
Since updating to OSX 10.9.1, one of the USB ports of my MacBook is not always recognising devices (external HDDs and Logitech Unifying Receiver), often when the other port is used.
It is the port on the right. First I noticed this problem with the Logitech Unifying Receiver, I thought perhaps it is because of the driver, but today I had to plug in my external HDD several times to get recognised and mounted. When not recognised, the Logitech Unifying receiver is not even listed in System Information, and HDDs are not listed in Disk Utility.
I had no issue with using both USB ports prior to OSX 10.9.1.
Anyone else is facing this problem?
Thank you.

Hi AMDeeb,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If USB devices are not being recognized reliably by your MacBook Pro, start with resetting the NVRAM:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
You can find more information about this troubleshooting step here:

ITunes not recognising iPad on Windows 7

I am fed up with windows asking me what to do when I attach a device. So this morning I went into control panel and changed things to "take no action". But when I attached my iPad afterwards it was not showing up in iTunes. So I tried all the usual... Restarting the laptop and trying different USB ports etc. but still iTunes does not recognise my iPad.
So I looked in control panel to see if I could find an answer and found I had mistakenly set iPad and iPhone to "take no action". But when I try to change it there's no itunes option!. It is all "open folder to view files" and "import pictures" type options. Clearly my pc thinks my iPad is a camera.
And clearly I've buggered things up. What can I do to make iTunes recognise the iPad again?? And no synching by wifi is not an option as im currently nowhere near home and on 3G at the moment.

Macbook Pro does not recognise TV via HDMI

Hi,
Have a macbook pro (2009) and having problems connecting to my sony bravia tv. I have all the right components (Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable). Before updating to Mavericks OS the macbook would detect the TV but now dosent at all (not even the blue screen appears)
The cables are definitely not faulty as I've tested it on my little samsung TV and macbook detects it so can mirror perfectly.
Any ideas?

That option dosent exist in mavericks.
This is what I see. Just to note, there is no mirroring options shown in the menu bar.

Help! My Macbook Pro will not recognise my M-Audio Firewire 410 interface

Hi
I'm new here and fairly new to Macs having only recently bought a Macbook Pro.
My plan is to use the Macbook primarily for music but I can't get my M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface working.
I have installed the latest Intel driver but when I plug the interface in, the Mac does not recognize it at all. I have tested the port/cables etc, and can successfully play music from an external firewire HDD chained through the Firewire 410.
How is it possible that the Mac doesn't even know the interface is there (when I click on the M-Audio software icon I get this message "No M-Audio Firewire device was found connected to this Mac") yet I can play music chained through the device?
I have tried both with, and without, the external power supply connected to the Firewire 410 and also tested it on my PC where it works as usual. And I've tried deleting and reinstalling the driver....(I thought this was PC only territory!)
Any ideas? I really want to get back into music and my past (bad) experiences with PCs drove me to the Mac...
Many thanks in advance

Try v1.8.2 instead of v1.7.2 of M-Audio's driver setup.

HT1338 My macbook pro is not recognising or connecting to the personal internet hotspot on my Iphone 4. How do I rectify. Was working fine yesterday.

Since yesterday my macbook wont accept or connect to my personal hotspot on my I phone 4s. Any suggestions fellow applemeisters?

Problem resolved
I was unable to use iPhone 4 ios 6.o.1 as a WIFI Verizon cellular hotspot to give my with my Macbook PRO OSX 10.6.8 internet access
In the past I was able to do so but this function quit working several months ago. I blamed it on either defective hardware or IOS 6 upgrades.
My iphone showed an active hotspot and connection but I was not showing a connection on my Macbook. I was getting an error on my Macbook saying bluetooth was not active on the device.
As a result I was not able to tether my Macbook to my iPhone hotspot through bluetooth or via USB
After MANY MANY hours researching I found an idea for the solution in the website below by Girl.luvzer.Mac
http://chimac.net/2010/10/21/your-connection-failed-because-the-communication-de vice-is-unavailable-make-sure-its-connected-to-your-computer-and-try-reconnectin g/
My instructions are below:
Go to Macbook System Preferences>Network . At the top of this window, it probably will say Location:Automatic. Click that drop-down box and choose “Edit Locations”. Click on the +, and create and select a new location. You do not need to name the location you create.
This was the key for me to get my iPhone hotspot bluetooth and tethering working with my Macbook
Some other notes:
Your cellphone provider needs to enable hotspot capability on your cellphone service
Your iPhone settings will need to have both bluetooth and cellular hotspot turned on
You will have to pair your iPhone and Macbook
Go to ...Settings/ Network/Bluetooth
   Click the ON and Discoverable boxes
   If your iphone is already shown in the box on the left press the - button to remove it
   Click sharing setup to pair your Macbook with your iPhone
In your Macbook ...Settings / Network
Turn off Airport
   Select Bluetooth Pan and use the connect button to connect to your iPhone
   It will take a moment for the connection to complete
Once you have done that your iPhone should provide your Macbook a wired USB or a Bluetooth hotspot!!!
Good luck, I hope this works for you as well
This was submitted via my Macbook through my newly fixed iPhone hotspot ;-)

Itunes not recognising Ipad

I have had an ipad 4 since Christmas 2012. I synced it with the laptop I had at the time, which was running Windows 7. Never had any problems. I had a new laptop last (2013) which runs Windows 8.1. (The old laptop still works.) I downloaded itunes, imported my library, added some extra music from CDs, Authorised the new laptop, unauthorised the old one, plug in my ipad. The computer recognises it (it show up in Windows explorer) but itunes hasn't detected it. I'm using the same itunes account. I have done allsorts of things suggested on here and other user forums - nothing. I've uninstalled/reinstalled itunes. - nothing. I've updated the ipad to IOS 7 - nothing. Can anybody please help me? I don't want to have to turn on the old laptop, just to sync my ipad!

I had issues with itunes in windows where I had to uninstall it
and search using regedit and remote all! itunes entries
before reinstalling itunes made everything work again
windows uninstall only remove registry entries that was added by the installer entries added by itunes later
on are left there
