My Mac computer has suddenly stopped recognising my ipad as a device - something to do with not recognising some apps. What can I do to fix it?

Make sure your Mac is running iTunes version 11.

  • I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address.

    I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address being used by another device.  Second wifi network was also created.  The Mac worked for a few minutes and then gaev up citing eth IP problem......any clues people??

    If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to perform a complete network power cycle.......to give everything a fresh start.
    Power off every device on the network.....computers, printers, hard drives, etc......in any order that you want
    Wait a full minute
    Start the modem, and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
    Start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
    Check the network

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos.  If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly.  I have not updated to Yosemite.  I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines.

    iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos.  If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear.  I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac.  I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines.  I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well.  Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos.  I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.

    what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
    Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
    If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
    Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple log and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • How do I remove server os and install normal os?  The computer has never been used as a server.  I only purchased the server version because of two internal hard drives.

    How do I remove server os and install normal os?  The computer has never been used as a server.  I only purchased the server version because of two internal hard drives.

    If you want to just disable the Server aspect, this should work for both Lion and Mountain Lion...

    Hi, vernon.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature.  Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

  • Bought a Mac Mini.  at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function.  Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it.  Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.  First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

    I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes..  So many people told me Mac was the way to go...  1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop.  Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US.  While I have junk..  It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.  Again.. locks up and does nothing.  What can I do with this?  Toss it in the trash?  Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

    It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
    Please reconcile the following
    at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.
    ... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
    If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
    If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
    "Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
    If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
    You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

  • Firefox has suddenly stopped connecting on one of three user accounts on the same computer. That account still connects with Safari - but not Firefox. A clean-install has not solved the problem. Help?

    Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
    Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
    Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
    Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
    Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
    Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • Computer has suddenly slowed to a crawl

    Hope you can help out there!
    --MacBook has suddenly slowed down.
    --Takes 2 minutes from login screen to seeing my desktop.
    --Took 2 hours to repair permissions.
    --Safari begins to start-up and then stalls. Have to re-start.
    --Can't back up--Time Machine says "preparing" for 2 hours--I gave up.
    --Tried to re-build directory with Disk Warrior--found lots of problems, but would not let me replace with the "preview" directory. It recommended I back-up the "preview" directory, but I didn't see any way to do that. Permissions repair went through quickly. Diagnostics on hard drive ("S.M.A.R.T." function) indicate that hard drive is OK.
    --I've run Cocktail (latest version), and that went through okay.
    --Have re-started the computer multiple times without beneficial effect.
    --Now trying to back-up via Time Machine one more time--will let it stew overnight.
    Any suggestions most welcome. THANK YOU.

    Hello Robert:
    As I indicated above, I think an archive and install would be something to seriously consider:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    An archive and install will install a fresh copy of OS X (which should be updated using the software update feature) while preserving your files, programs, and settings. As always, I strongly recommend a backup before any software update (Time Machine is a good solution).
    An erase and install, IMHO, should be reserved for a disaster (I have never done one myself).
    By the by, running GUI programs like OnYx (I have one that is pretty good - Cocktail), while not harmful, would not (IMHO) fix the sort of problems you describe. For example, OS X 10.5 runs the UNIX 'cron' (the daily, weekly and monthly processes mentioned above) automatically. There is no reason to manually initiate them. Also, the cache cleaning most of the GUI maintenance programs initiate may atually slow a system for a period of time. There is little or no reason to run any maintenance programs under OS X 10.5 - unless one is troubleshooting.
