My MAC does not find my iPhone when trying to sync

I installed 'OS 10.10, yosemite, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it sees the phone, but after creating a new playlist on my mac, in iTunes, then try and syvc the two, the computer 'whirrs' for awhile and then comes back with the error message that the computer can't find my iPhone. This is the same computer I have had for a few years and this problem just happened after installing the latest software.
I'm going to try the iPad next and see what happens.
HELP

- Reboot the Mac
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Try another USB port
- Try another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My mac does not recognize my iphone when i plug it in

    I am trying to upload my photos from my iphone5 since its full and wont let me take any more pics.  However, when I plug in my phone, its not recognized by Finder.  I know iTunes recognizes it because it pops up.   Whats the story?

    you should import the photos using iPhoto.
    The device should be in the sidebar of iPhoto. Select it and import your photos using the button at the top right.

  • Time capsule problems: Mac does not find it

    Hi,
    Although my Wi-Fi Network is properly functioning, and Time capsule is responsible for that, my iMac is not finding Time capsule when it comes to Time Machine back-ups. I have been backing-up my Mac for about three years and the problem appeared recently. What suggestions you all have? Should I Format my Time capsule and restart it all over again? How do I manage to keep my older back-ups?
    Thanks
    Luiz

    Hi
    I thank you all for the efforts in trying to help our uneasy days! Let me tell you how I was able to solve the problem I had with Time Capsule.
    As I said, my Mac would not find Time Capsule anymore.
    Followed this steps:
    1. Turned off Wi-Fi.
    2. Restarted my Mac with ethernet cable connecting Mac to Time Capsule.
    3. Entered Ethernet Network connection configuration and configured IPV6 to Link-local only. Applied changes.
    4. Opened Time Machine preferences. There it was my Time Capsule again! Selected it and ordered to back-up!
    5. It is backing-up again!
    Good luck to all!

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs. 

  • Just update iTunes to 10.6.0.40. Now does not detect my iPhone. Tried restart, different USB port. Now what?

    Just updated iTunes to 10.6.0.40. Now it does not detect my iPhone (prompt says reconnect, could not detect). Tried restarting and different USB port. What next asside from system restore with my Windows 7.Cannot Sync or get photos. Have 3Gs with os4.

    I removed iTunes completely, then reinstalled. Still not identifying phone. When iPhone connected, prompt says "iPhone detected, could not be identified properly. Unplug and try again." Still not working.
    Tried by installing previous version of iTunes (10.5.0.142) which did worked. Would not open iTunes because it had been previously installed with a newer version.
    Sucessfully reinstalled ver 10.6.0.40 again. Then tried again by removing iTunes, iCloud and QuickTime. Reinstalled iTunes 10.6.0.40 and same problem, detected iPhone but could not identify properly. What next?

  • "Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

    Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid",  when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
    The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
    So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market.  I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file.  But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message. 
    I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
    Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

    Hi Springbk,
    If you've tried all of the troubleshooting in the previous article, including making sure the required ports are not being blocked, then I suggest you reach out for additional support by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

  • How can i connect my iphone 4 s with itunes? itune does not recognise the iphone when it is connected

    Hi, i have received an iphone 4s from japan! whwn i connect it to my pc, itunes does not recognise it. what can i do?

    For this issue you might try a couple things.
    First, try to restart the Apple Mobile Device service by clicking Start and searching for Services. Stop the service, then restart the service.
    If that doesn't work, you can remove and reinstall iTunes.

    This article will help with that process. Follow it exactly.

  • Sometimes when starting my iMac it shows a folder icon with a Question mark in it. Mac does not start up, only when shutting down and restart again solves it

    Sometimes when starting up my iMac it shows only a folder icon with a question mark in it. Nothing happened. Only when start up again it runs ok.
    What can be the cause of this.
    thanks for your help
    Hans

    That's an indication your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
    Open System Preferences > Startup Disk
    Select:  MacintoshHD OS X
    For OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6 >    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Helps when you ask for help to tell us which Mac OS X is installed.
    If you aren't certain, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPhone when I am connected to the internet!

    Okay, I am back with an old problem that I had with iTunes 9.0. iTunes will not see my iPhone if I am connected to the internet. If I turn off the WiFi, I am fine. Is there a fix for this? I found the following (see below) on 1 website and did all of them already. I don't have # 3, so I did not have to try that one thing.
    Run through this series of potential fixes, which will solve sync issues for most users:
    1. Reinstall iTunes. In some cases this issue can be resolved by completely removing then reinstalling iTunes as described in this Apple Knowledge Base article.
    2. Remove third-party backup software. If you’ve installed software for an external hard drive or another device, it may include an automatic backup utility that recognizes the iPad as a storage device, interfering with the normal sync process. Try uninstalling any such software then re-syncing your iPad.
    3. Remove iToner. It appears that the presence of Ambrosia Software’ iToner software may cause problems with syncing the iPad. Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins and/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (the Library folders inside your user folder and at the root level of your startup drive) and look for a file called iTonerSupport.bundle. Remove it, then restart, and check to see if iPad syncing occurs more quickly.
    4. Delete iTunes .plist. Delete the following file
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist then restart

    try deleting these preference files
    •C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username Here\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
    •C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username Here\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
    •C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info

  • Photoshop 11 does not recognize external harddrive when trying to reconnect images?

    I have moved my catalog to a new computer, using Photoshop Elements 11. All images are on 2 external harddrives. The PC recognizes both harddrives and shows folder structure and files correctly. When in Photoshop Organiser the thumbnails appear, with the question mark, as the drive structure is different to the old PC. When trying to reconnect the images to the second external harddrive Photoshop suddenly does not recognise this harddrive anymore.
    Please anybody advise on what I can do to fix that?

    Please try steps mentioned on blog: http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/how-do-i-reconnect-missing-files-in.html Let me know if it doesn't help.

  • Elements 9 does not recognize iPhoto pics when trying to import?

    I need help in importing pics into elements 9 from I photo?  Elements does not recognize the photos to import them.

    You may need the 9.0.2 update if using iPhoto 11. However you need to make a decision. Use Organizer or use iPhoto but not both otherwise you will end up with lots of duplicate files on your hard drive. You can alternatively set up PSE9 as your external editor in the iPhoto preferences. Then you can use Edit In directly from the iPhoto app. If you really want to switch to Organizer see these notes for further help:
