My DroidX will no longer work with a USB cable to my laptop

I got a new DroidX, as my last one was freaking out, we thought this would solve the problem, but it doesn't. The phone knows it is attached to the laptop, but the laptop does not see the phone. I tried to install the MotoConnect software. It gets to the last one , which is MTP or MTPS (computers.....not my strong point) and it can't install that. The peeps at the Verizon store have no clue. They want to do a hard reset, that is their favorite thing to do. Anyone know what is going on?

Here's a thought, when you connect the USB cable, do you get a USB icon onthe notifictions bar? if so open he bar and tap the icon, it should have several different opeions to pick from, such as PC Only, Windows Media sync, charge only, etc. Try a different one, or all of them andf see what happens.
Sorry, Guess I have got to point that I figure this as a instincted situation but this could be the issue that I was overlooking... May want to try this first.

I have a ibook G4 which has become redundant as my phone will no longer work with the version of itunes installed (latest it can use), how can I back up my phone to transfer to a new computer (a PC now)?

My iphone 4s (7.1.1) will no longer work with my ibook G4 which is running 10.5.8. I have a PC which i'm now going to have to use, I've manually transferred my music and photos, but how do I go about transferring my contacts and calenders. What does itunes on PC sync to in terms of contacts and calenders?
Thanks!

You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Windows address book or Outlook Express on your computer.

HT3574 on the new iPAD 4G Verizon has anyone been able to make the Hotspot work with the USB Cable to a Windows 7 PC ?

On the new Ipad 4G (Verizon) - I am unable to Hotspot it with the USB Cable. I can do it with Wi-Fi and Blue Tooth just fine - but not directly connected from the iPad3 to a Windows 7 PC. It detects, it even opens up the Folder os that I can see the DCIM but no internet on the PC (but works fine using Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth hotspot). Any ideas ?

Attach the cable to your iPad and then to the USB, than go to settings chose the third option "personal hot spot" turn it on, a notification will pop up asking you if you want to use wifi or Bluetooth just select no and automatically work.

ISight will no longer work with IMovie

I am having trouble getting ISight to be recognized by IMovie. This is a recent occurance possibly related the the use of an external camera for a period of time. Now I cannot get IMovie to see the ISight internal camera. The Mac is a G4 with os 10.4.9. IMovie is rev 5.0.2
Any ideas?
Karen Bemis
MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Zack please help!
If you do not get what you need from Karen, here are the solutions that help most G5 iMac users who encounter iSight problems. None are complicated, but the only way to find which one will work for you is to continue down the list until you find the one that fixes your Mac.
(1) Try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
If your iSight works with all applications except iMovie, stop now and post back the details of your testing in a new topic. Your problem is different from Karen's, and yours deserves the attention it will get in your own individual topic. Include the names of which apps work with iSight and confirm that the problem was EXACTLY the same when you logged in with other user accounts.
If you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting, see this Help article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
(2) If resetting or the other suggestions above do correct your iSight problem with any application, you can try the following:
- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
- Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help)
- Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10410updateppc.html
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(3) If none of these suggestions help, I suggest that you take your iMac to your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.

HT4623 My iphone 3G will no longer work with Whatssapp.

It says it requires IOS 4.3 or later, but the earlier iPhones seem to only work with IOS 4.2.x. Is there any way round this (other than buying a new phone)?

No.

HT1688 I have snyced with itunes, and have all updates, and my iphone 4S will no longer work with you car radio or my in house radio??

I have synced my iphone 4S with itunes and have OS 5.1.1. But now my radio and car do not recognize my iphone, and will not allow it to work my my car, and the radio at home will not allow the iphone to run off of the radio speakers anymore. Why? and what happened for this to change?

I'm sorry you have not been able to utilize your text messaging AlaynaFHirsch. I recommend downloading the new software to your phone. It will definitely help with functionality issues. Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Have you tried to perform a restore on your account?

Mail will no longer work with AOL

My wife can not access her AOL email account through Mail. She has accessed it for long time but this morning she came down and was prompted to enter her password. "The AOL IMAP server "imap.aol.com" rejected the password for user xxxxx" She entered her password but it wouldnt take. She actually has two AOL email account that she accesses through Mail and neither would work.
She logged onto www.aol.com and was able to sign in. She changed her passwords to be safe. We went into Mail and Preferences and changed her passwords for each account making sure to save the changes. But again, she was prompted to enter her password and still the same message as above.
After reading the boards here I went into Keychain Access and ran Keychain First Aid. I ran Verify first and no problems found. Then ran Repair and no problems found. I shut the whole computer down and restarted. No luck with getting mail to interface with AOL. Note: on my user account (Admin) my AOL account is working fine.
The inbox error message is "Unable to Connect" There may be a problem wit the mail server or network (not the case as I am getting my mail fine). Verify the settings for account "xxxx - AOL Mail" or try again. The server returned ther erro: The attempt to read data from the server "imap.aol.com" failed
Then I went into her Ipad, where the mail was also not working, and deleted the mail account. I went into to create the new account and go the message "The user name or password for "imap.aol.com" is incorrect.
Again, I can go to AOL.com and log into her account and get her mail fine.
I dont know what to do. Nothing seems to make sense.
Help?!?
Thanks

Mail stopped working w/AOL for me 3 days ago on all 4 computers and iphone. I have two accounts and neither can send/receive mail. Tried everything I can think of/found online like other users here. Extremely frustrating to have to login to AOL server to check it. I did discover today that I can disable the wifi on my iphone and connect just fine over 3G. This tells me my settings and passwords are fine on the computers-seems to be a problem AOL has w/network connections. Any ideas?

Second monitor will no longer work with 10.9.3 update

Hi everyone,
I just updated to 10.9.3 and now my second monitor will not work. My Mac doesn't even recognize it.
I have a thunderbolt to Firewire connector on my Mac Pro going to a DVI connector to my monitor. I've repaired permissions and tried different ports, but nothing is happening.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Install the combo like kinman1 said. Mine was fixed afterwards too.

After that you can also try a PRAM reset.
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.

Firefox 17.0.1 on my Mac OSX 10.7.5 will no longer work with Adobe Reader 11.0.0. What shall I do to fix it ?

When I try to read a page with Adobe Reader I get the following message:
Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
Why is that ? It occurer a short period ago, and prior to that I have had no problem.
I have no problem when I use Safari - but normally I prefer Firefox.
So, please help me - and tell me what to do.
Thanks in advance.

You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

Will BT MM work with keyspan usb BT dongle?

I have a keyspan usb bluetooth dongle (BT 1.1), can i connect a BT mighty mouse to my mac with this dongle?
Or is BT 2.0 necessary?

Hello Sigurd:
I think you will have to ask the manufacturer of the dongle that question. As far as I know (not a definitive answer), BT devices are backward compatible.

Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

I have a 3g now and it said it required usb 2.0 but it works fine with 1.1 just a little slow. Will iphone 4 work with my usb 1.1, everything else updated ie itunes?

No,
You need USB 2.0 ports. Per Apples website:
Windows system requirements
* PC with USB 2.0 port
* Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
* iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
* iTunes Store account
* Internet access
