My 2007 Macbook OSX 10.5.8 does not see my new iPad 3.

I tried everything apple suggests in their support forum accept reinstalling Apple Mobile Device. I can't update iTunes from v10.1.1 because I am OSX 10.5.8 and it doesn't support the new iTunes (10.6 or later required). I am worried that if I delete iTunes I won't be able to reinstal it. I don't plan to upgrade my OSX at this time because I am in the middle of a music project.
The main reason I am doing this is because I tried to copy my game data from my iPhone 3GS to my new iPad 3. I was using iExplorer, which was great for grabbing the data from my iPhone, but when i plugged in my iPad to complete the transfer it didn't see it. So, I turned to iTunes to see what the matter was and it also didn't see it. I figure if I resolve the issue in iTunes it will also resolve the iExplorer issue.
Thank you for your suggestions.

I fixed my problem. I found an older new version of iTunes (10.6.3) and installed it. It is the last version of iTunes to support OSX 10.5.8. I emptied my trash and restarted both devices and iTunes now recognizes my iPad 3

    My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility.  How can I get it to see the drive?

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter  
    and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

  • I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

    I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • ITunes for Windows 8 does not see iPhone and iPad

    In my HP Envy notebook, iTunes (last version) does not connect to iPhone and iPad. Note that the PC connects to both. Only iTunes does not. I think this version of iTunes for windows does not use the correct USB driver.

  • Mac OSX 10.6.2 Does Not 'see' Vista/XP Machines

    Hi there,
    I've read through endless pages of help topics online and cannot seem to find a solution to my specific problem so if this comes across as a repeated question please point me in the right direction as i have exhausted my brain trying all the different suggestions i have read.
    I bought my mac, preloaded with OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard, two days ago and immediately took it out of the box and connected it to my home network via wireless. When i first connected to my network i am pretty sure i was able to 'see' all the other computers available on my network (three in total two running Vista Home Premium and one running XP Media Center) i updated the mac as recommended and ever since the update i have not been able to 'see' the other computers on my network.
    I am able to connect to them via the 'smb://COMPUTERNAME' command in 'Connect To A Server' but i have to do this every time i log onto my mac and this is, to me, really annoying. The other issue i face is i am not able to print using the printer connected to my XP machine when all other computers connected to the network can. I can ping both ways from all machines and the Windows OS machines can all 'see' the mac and place files in its shared folder without the need to enter passwords or connect via 'computer name' or 'ip address.'
    Is this an issue a lot of mac, OS X 10.6.2 SL, users are faced with or am i the only one?
    As i've said i can connect to the Windows OS PCs from the mac ,but only via the 'Connect To A Server' option, and pass files in both directions. Is there an App or update that will allow me to log onto my mac, click finder and the Windows OS PCs be listed in the sidebar?
    Extra Information:
    Windows Vista PCs are: Home Premium Service Pack 2 with Norton Internet Security 2010 (firewall enabled via NIS:2010)
    Windows XP PCs are: Media Center Edition Service Pack 3 with Norton Internet Security 2010 (firewall enabled via NIS:2010)
    Router: Netgear DG834GT Router
    Wireless Security: WPA Personal, MAC access authentication, IP address allocation
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Let's try to deal with the sharing issue first. Your new problem is very common under Snow. However, it turns up with different timing in an idiosyncratic way.
    At first, my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
    If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
    Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

  • My iTunes does not see the new ios 5 update on my ipod touch 3rd generation

    hello i tried to seach for an update for ios 5 or 4.3 but my iTunes cant find it. It just sayes ur current version is 4.2.1

    You just think you have a 3rd gen..
    What some people don't know is that when Apple released Model MC086LL it was sold as a 8GB 3rd generation unit by some retailers. It really had the same guts as the 2nd generation model MB528LL with upgraded software. ALL 8GB "3rd generation" iPod Touch serial numbers pull up in the apple support system as a 2nd generation unit. 2nd generation units are not able to upgrade to ios5, therefore your last update will be 4.21.

  • HT201302 i have thousands of pictures in my iPad that iPhoto does not see when the iPad is connected to my computer. Any idea how to import them to my iMac?

    Any idea how to import?

    So you're trying to use your iPad as the way to bring photos from your old iMac to your new iMac?
    Why not bring them to your new iMac from your old one, using Migration Assistant or similar?
    The software probably expects you to have done that, and that's why you only received a selective group of photos from your iPad (only those associated with email).

  • My MacBookPro does not see Airportextreme11n

    I bought a MacBook Pro in USA and now back to Italy, it does not see the new Airportextreme11n I bought in Italy months ago, while it recognizes the old Airportextreme11g (the cone shaped one). Does it have something to do with the airport card of the computer which says: "Wireless Card Locale: USA"?
    The Airportextreme11n is recognized by the MacPro desktop computer whose airport card says: "Wireless Card Locale: worldwide".
    Many thanks for any help, Francesco

    Hello Francis43. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Per chance are you operating your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) on a radio channel above 11? If so, the US MacBook Pro will be limited to channels 1 - 11.

  • New Airport Extreme (2014) does not see USB Drive

    Just fired up my new 2014 Airport Extreme and attached a Toshiba 3 TB USB Drive. My new (late 2013 iMac) does not see the new drive in Disk Utility.
    The Extreme works in all other ways; ie, as a router, as a wireless node.
    It came to me formated as a Windows drive, so I attached it directly to my MacBook Pro (which saw the drive) and reformated it as a Mac Drive (Journaled, GUILD). It showed up just fine on the MacBook Pro desktop.
    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    Help Please

    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    That drive will not show up in Disk Utility on the Mac.....since the Toshiba hard drive becomes a network drive when it is attached the AirPort Extreme.
    Disk Utility will not display a network drive. It will only display drives that are connected directly to your iMac via USB, FireWire, etc.
    Check using AirPort Utility to see if the AirPort Exteme recognizes the drive.
    Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window that appears
    The drive will appear here if it is recognized by the AirPort Extreme.
    In the example below, my WD Drive is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • Laptop does not detect the new HDD

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen Gameday! I need help.
    On my laptop broke down the hard drive. According to reports, a lot of bad sectors, SMART. Decided to put a new HDD. Laptop does not see the new hard drive. In the BOOT MENU new hard drive is not detected.
    Old hard drive while still runs in the BOOT menu displays all 3 sections. On the new disk interface is similar to the interface connection on the old disk.
    laptop model: 15-e 051 sr.
    OS: Win 8
    manufacturer of the old hard drive : Hitachi
    new hard drive: seagate.
    New hard drive on another system checked for operability.
    Also, the laptop refused to work with other hard drives: Samsung, Hitachi.
    I am sorry for your Books English. For transfers using Google translator.
    I look forward to qualified support, despite the language barrier.
    Sincerely Sqwosh.

    Hi @sqwosh ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
    First I would like to let you know that the broken English is not a problem.  I understand that Google translation can be a a little rough in the translations.  We  will work together and I am  sure we will do fine!
    I grasp that you are trying to replace the hard drive but it is not being recognized in the bios.
    Here is a link to the HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. please note page 57 for a list of supported hard drives.  It will also provide information on removal and replacement of the hard drive.
    You could also try this.
    Once you have the hard installed and connected and you are at the bios screen, you will notice an option to restore defaults along the bottom. ( I believe it is F5) .  This will cause it to scan for the hardware and hopefully find your new hard drive.
    Please do not hesitate to respond if you require further assistance and good luck!

  • MacBook w/OS10.6.8 does not recognize an attached iPhone.

    MacBook w/OS10.6.8 does not recognize an attached iPhone. That is, iTunes does not display "Devices" in the left pane, so it is impossible to sync any of the data.  It worked fine until the operating system was upgraded from 10.5.  Another Mac does in fact recognize that same iPhone.  It is a MacBook Pro w/OS10.6.8, but that laptop is generally used by another person in the same household.  Any ideas out there?

    Did you already try the suggestions mentioned here? iOS: Device recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Did you check for any new software updates for OSX?

  • Macbook pro does not see internal DVD/CD drive

    Our macbook pro 4,1 running OSX 10.8.5 (12F45) no longer seems to recognize the internal DVD/CD drive.
    Both the ATA and Disc Burning listings for the MBP say there are no devices of that type listed.
    This started when my wife attempted to play an audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro 1,1 running Snow Leopard and using Itunes 11.4.  The icon for the CD did not show up and the disk didn't play.  It also would not eject.  (She had just successfully played another audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro).  After some research, we found that the 'stuck CD' is a common problem and the solution that worked for us was cold starting with the trackpad button depressed while shaking the **** out of the computer (and giving it a few 'love taps') .... several tries without the physical encouragement failed before adding shaking ... then it ejected the CD.
    So .... we were able to remove the offending CD, but when I tried one that had worked before, a commercially produced CD, it got stuck too and required the same draconian procedure to get it to eject.
    I re-cold started the MBP with an empty optical drive and then brought up the Hardware Overview.  It said there was no ATA device and no Disc Burning device.  The device itself must be getting power, because when the CD was stuck, you could hear it trying to do something  when you hit the eject key, and when we finally discovered how to force ejection, the mechanical sound associated with disc ejection could be heard.
    I seriously doubt that the optical drive has just stopped working.  Instinct tells me that the attempt to read an audio CD that was somehow incompatible caused the opsys to be configured in a way that makes it unable to communicate with the optical drive directly.  Any suggestions on how to investigate this, possibly from the Terminal, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Joe - but I have discovered how to free the stuck CD from the drive.
    The problem now is that OSX 10.8.5 does not recognize the presence of the optical drive at all.  It does not show up in Disk Utility's list of drives/volumes and does not show up in the ATA or Disc Burning categories in the system profiler.  For example, I can insert the system disc, which the drive accepts, but the install/utilitiy app does not fire up .... not initially, nor after I cold start while holding 'C'.  The system doesn't see it.
    Applecare was willing to try to assist me for free, but the agent, after helping me run the Disc Utility from the cold start Recovery System, claimed it was a faulty optical drive.  Though this is quite possible, I'm still skeptical and have a local mac guru coming to look at it (for a fee) on Monday, 2/9/15.
    In some of my research regarding the stuck CD, there was mention that a CD programmed on a different drive (in a different mac) initiated the sticky CD problem, and implied that something about the CD corrupted something in the guts of the guts of the OS.  But if true, Disk Utility, which likely communicates to the optical drive thru the OS,  may not be able to see the drive.   It'd be nice if there was some diagnostic software that runs on an intel mac that completely runs independently of the OS but with full privileges to directly query the hardware I/O channel(s) that directly talk to the optical drive.  If you know of such an animal, that would be helpful and might save me from buying a new optical drive when it's really a system corruption problem.

  • I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd

    Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!

    Possible solutions:
    You need to hold the c key down before booting
    You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
    You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
    There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
    Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
    Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
    You have malware of some sort

  • Trying to see DVD drive through DVD sharing. iMac does not see MacBook. DVD sharing is ON.

    I have an iMac with a non-working DVD drive and I'm trying to install Snow Leopard from my MacBook's DVD drive. I have turned DVD Sharing ON but the iMac does not see the DVD drive in Finder's Shared Devices. I have tried FireWire, LAN through TimeCapsule and WiFi. Am I missing a step?
    The iMac and MacBook are both late 2007 purchases and have 10.5.8.
    Thanks for any help.

    Two commands you need to type in terminal on the computer that has the dead drive. 
    Disk sharing like the macbook air does is one of those things that's included in all OS X's on all computers, but that is not enabled.  (I think it's cause apple doesn't want to have to support it on more devices that they absolutely have to)
    So here's how you enable it. 
    In your Utilities Folder, open Terminal
    copy and paste each line:
    sudo -s
    *type your password*
    defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true defaults write
    com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
    shutdown -r now
    Okee dokee... That last command will restart your computer, then you're off to the races!
