  • My iPhone isn't being detected by iTunes

    I connected my iPhone 4 to my laptop and it has charging (so no issues there) but iTunes doesn't show that it's connected. I have done it countless times before, is there any reason it wouldn't be working now?

  • My SD card isn't being detected by my MacBook Pro

    My SD card isn't being detected by my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It's detected fine by my camera and my iPad (using the Camera Connection Kit), but not my computer. I've tried it in both OS X Mavericks and Windows 8.1 using my Boot Camp partition, but it's not being detected at all in either OS. This has worked before just fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong and how I can resolve it?

    I too facing the same problem after installing Mavericks. I tried opening iphoto first and then inserting SD card, that also doesnot detect. waiting for other solutions......thanks in advance

  • Iphone 4s not being detected by windows 8 laptop and itunes

    Hey all,
    My iphone 4s is stuck in recovery mode and my laptop is not detecting the iphone when i plug it in. I plug in my other iphone and ipods fine but this iphone 4s is not being detected so i know it is not the cables. I have uninstalled all of the apple apps and drivers from my computer including itunes and re-installed them again and still nothing. When i turn on the iphone it shows a blue itunes logo with a cable indicating for me to connect it to my laptop, but it turns off after 30 seconds which doesn't allow it to restore thus a notification shows up on itunes saying that the iphone could not be found.
    I downloaded the latest version of ios, but could not install it since the iphone is not responding. so right now it is basically a paper weight.
    Is there anything i can do?
    thanks all....

    Hello Bethany2
    Try creating a different user for your computer and open iTunes to see if shows up in that newly created user. The article below will home a few more troubleshooting steps, some of which you have already tried.

  • Audigy 2 Isn't Being Detected Correc

    This is a weird problem that I can't find out anything about anywhere online.
    Basically I left home for a week and when I got back my sound was very crackly, with some movies and songs not playing at all. I restarted my PC to see if it helped after checking the speaker connections and testing them with my onboard sound.
    After the restart the SoundCard refused to work at all. I reinstalled the drivers and ran Creative Diagnostic which then resulted in the card apparently not being detected.
    I did a manual install as recommended on the Creative Knowledge Base which resulted in the following items being detected in Windows:
    - PCI Input Device
    - System Interrupt Device (x2)
    - Mass Storage Device
    - VGA Device
    None of these had appeared before and bearing in mind that the only PCI device I own is the Audigy 2 Platinum (my graphics are PCI-E) this REALLY confuses me (the EMU Processor is definitely present when using other diagnostic programs: the SoundCard does exactly the same thing on 2 of my friends PC's by the way).
    Any help would be greatly appreiciated as the card is bearly 3 months old and there is no way it could have been damaged during my time away (locked door, unplugged at the mains).
    UPDATE: Since getting the latest drivers I have sucessfully installed the soundcard but the above items are still listed in device manager and I still recieve absolutely no sound at all!? PLEASE HELP!!

    no, i am just talking about the display attached to the computer. It doesn't seem to always do it either, this time when i started up it was ok, but sometimes when i start up or when it has been sleeping for a while it comes up without detecting the screen. the first time that it happened it was set to like 800x600 or whatever and it was all stretched and pixelated and i changed it to 1400x900, because the default 1440x900 wasn't listed and now when it doesn't detect the screen, it goes to that. Then like i said i have to go into system prefs and click detect screen for it to bring back the original settings. it is very odd, has anyone else experienced this problem?

  • My iPhone isn't being read when plugged into my pc

    Before this occurrence my iPhone was read through iTunes and when manually photos and videos being imported to my pc.
    I plugged another iPhone into my pc and imported photos off it and removed the phone before it synced to my itunes, after that when I plug my iPhone into my pc it can't be read when importing photos and videos manually its being read as the other iPhone I plugged in before but my iPhone is still being read by iTunes.
    When I import the photos they're my photos, with a different iPhone name and I cannot change the image position through photo gallery only manually through paint and I want to know how my iPhone can be read properly again!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • I updated my iTunes and now my IPhone 3G isn't being detected.

    I first thought it was a problem with the USB port but ive tried them all with memory stick and everythings in working order. Ive used a different lead to connect the iPhone to my laptop still no look. I've tried with my iPod and that doesnt work either. I looked on line to uninstall then re install iTunes and its still not working. Please if someone can help that would be great.
    Samantha.

    Hi Avatennis,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like Windows isn't recognizing your iPhone. You might find our iPhone troubleshooting assistant helpful with resolving this:

  • I cannot access or reinstall Itunes, and my ipod isn't being detected

    So, sometime after the fall of 2010, which I suspect was after iTunes 10 was launched, I noticed I couldn't access iTunes.
    It read error 2330.
    I did some sleuthing for months, and now I get these error messages under the heading "iTunes + Quicktime" when I attempted a re-installation of iTunes:
    "There's a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
    "An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes"
    In the past while attempting to re-install iTunes, I got error message 2330...STILL don't fully know what this means.
    I currently have Bonjour, the iTunes folder, The iPhone Configuration Utility folder, and Quicktime on my desktop...The actual programs are also in my C:\ drive in Program Files...I can also see Apple software in the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel on my PC.
    I seem to be able to access iTunes/iTunes store via the executable file in the iTunes folder by clicking "iTunes.exe", but no other way...I also noticed that the software will run normally, but not detect my iPod or allow my computer access...So in other words, iTunes doesn't recognize my computer as being authorized for my account, and yet it displays my email address in the upper-right hand corner of iTunes.
    It's like I can only access a "half version" of the full iTunes I once had by going through that folder...No clue what's happening or what files may be missing or corrupted.
    Quite simply put, I need help...I want to be able to use iTunes and my iPod Touch (1st gen) like I was able to this past fall before the mysterious accident or corrupt files ruined everything.

    For that 2330 error, run chkdsk on your C drive.
