Why won't itunes recognize my iphone 3 on my new mac book air?

I just got a brand new mac book air for the holiday and I migrated all my files over from my old computer, but when I connect my iphone 3 to the new computer, itunes did not recognize it in the finder. I was able to sync and back up some files. And the computer knows that the device is connected (I checked in the System information file and it is listed as being connected. The phone also charges when it is connected, and I can sync my files). I have gone through many of the already relevant suggested fixes (used different USB port, changed cable, restarted computer, restarted phone) and still nothing has changed. I am running mac OS X 10.8.2 on my laptop and I have version 6.0.1 on my iphone.
I haven't re-installed itunes yet, as some have suggested as the laptop is brand new.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

try changing USB ports. if that doesnt work and you have restarted the computerand itunes is up to date, uninstall itunes in the order of the article below.
assuming you use windows.

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download. It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product. I put it in, but it isn't taken. I am frustrated and furious! What can I do?

Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3. As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.

HT1338 my new mac book air can't mirror but my ipad can

my new mac book air can't mirror with apple tv but my ipad can. How do I fix this?

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

HT204350 Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X. The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case.
Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar: Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while.
Good luck.

I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air

I bought a new mac book air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???

Hi gachy1,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
I will be happy to help you.
I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
(you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a good day!

Getting an error when setting up Apple ID on new Mac book air

I am setting up new Mac book air and getting an error at the sign up with Apple ID. Says couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again

I got this error when setting up a new iMac. I now beleive the reason was that I had already restored accounts and files from a Time Machine backup, and it then connected me to the Apple ID during the login. It is a flaw in the setup process that it didn't check for that and skip the Apple ID step.

Need to reinstall OS on new Mac Book air

I purchased a new mac book air and migration assistant overwrote the whole hard drive. I want to red o migration assistant and select only some applications. How do i reinstall mavericks and all the applications to the original state? Computer came with no disks??

What you are trying to do is erase the storage and reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, restart the MBA and hold the Command and R keys. That will restart you on the recovery hard drive partition, what Apple now uses instead of an install DVD.
From the menu bar, select Utilities, then Disk Utility. Highlight the internal storage name in the left side bar, usually Macintosh HD, and then select Erase in the button bar top center of the main window pane.
After the storage is erased, Quit Disk Utility and from the Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will download the Mavericks installer and reinstall the operating system. This will take some time as the installer is about 5.1 GB...you need a good internet connection because this is downloaded from Apple's servers. Also, be sure you are plugged into a wall outlet and not running on battery power. You do not want the machine to shutdown during this.
After you have reinstalled, you are at the out-of-the-box form of the MBA and will have to resetup all of your information from scratch.

Migrating to new Mac Book Air using time machine and seems stuck?

I am transferring my data my 5 year old Mac Book Pro to new Mac Book Air via Time Machine because other methods were not working due to technology out of date incompatibility and my old computer is on its last legs here. Need to get moving on this. Everything appears to be going fine. Just wondered since I have never done this and I realize it takes awhile. At present, the screen is saying it is transferring documents and will take another 13 minutes and it has said this for the last 2 hours and the line below shows still about 2/3 more to go. This has been going for about 4 hours total now. Just wondering if this is normal?
Thank you in advance.

It takes awhile, especially if you have a lot of data. The last time I did this it took over 6 hours. The time estimates are usually way off.

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
