My iPhone 5c is not being recognized by my mac except to charge it. I'm up to date on all updates and don't know what else to do. I have restarted several times. I have even tried to update my iPhoto and I can't even do that with iPhoto 9.0, but can't.

My Iphone 5c is not being recognized by my Mac computer. I have done all of the upates, restarted several times and I'm not sure what else to do. I have searched and searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Also, my Iphoto can not be updated. I'm still using version 8. something, and it won't update without this update and that update. It needs 9.0 but I can't find that download anywhere. The only one that I can find is 9.1. That won't update. Is there anything that I can do, or should I just bite it and take it to apple to get looked at?

Does iTunes not see the phone?
If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.

    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • 10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized.

    10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized in windows 7 service pack 1. I have 2 iphones and an ipod 3G. I have to go into services and stop the apple mobile device and start it up again to get my devices recognized. Anyone else having the same issue? One of the iphones is not upgraded to the new iOS, the other phone and the ipod are updated.

    Hi,
    You probably need to update to Snow Leopard10.6.8
    Click Apple icon top left and click Software Update and keep doing that until it says software is up to date.
    That should bring your itunes to the correct version.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan

  • Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times,mans it still doesn't work.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • Ipad not being recognized on my Mac laptop

    My Ipad Mini, (just purchased today) is not being recognized on my Mac computer under Devices in the Finder.  We also bought a IPod Shuffle and it is recognized.  I followed another person's advice from this forum and reloaded the Ipad, but it is still not recognized.  I want to move some Epub books to my Ipad, but cannot do this since it's not recognized.  I downloaded the Bluefire Reader as was suggested in the forum, but, again, the Ipad is not recognized on my laptop in order to move the books.

    It won't appear in Finder, it's not designed to mount as a drive, content is synced via your Mac's iTunes. If it's not being recognised in your Mac's iTunes then there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    You should be able to copy books to that app by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then option-command-S should get the sidebar to appear), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen selecting the Apps tab and scrolling down it to the file sharing section : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    If you've already directly downloaded some apps or other content onto the iPad then you may also find this page useful for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    my ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
    How to backup?
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

    What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
    What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

  • Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    It's good to know.  The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit.  The larger problem is that it partially works:  partially and erratically.  So clean-up is great fun.

  • TS3697 I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

    I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

    As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
    In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
    Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

  • I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

    I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!  Can anyone help??

    You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes.  Then you entered a password.
    It would be that specific password it is asking for.
