My macbook pro doesn't show iPad air when connected by usb. It did before. iPad is brand new software up to date with genuine new usb cable.

I upgraded few weeks ago to Mavericks from snow leopard. Since then , Ipad is often not recognized from macbookpro. When it is I cannot transfert gpx files from macbook pro to ipad through itunes like I could do it with snow leopard. So I cannot transfert any files to be read by navigation app on my ipad. I often have no internet conections so I need to specifically download through usb and itunes. Thanks for any hints.

You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
Good luck,

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

A CD is stuck in my MACBook pro: doesn't show on desktop and won't eject from iTunes?

A CD is stuck in my MacBook Pro, doesn't appear on desktop and won't eject? Help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To force eject the CD, hold the trackpad while your Mac is starting, so it will be ejected.
If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your MacBook Pro is starting, and type:
drutil eject
exit
If it doesn't work, the SuperDrive is damaged, so it has to be replaced at an Apple Store or reseller. A cheaper way is to get an external disc drive

I have hv30 canon, Final Cut Pro X connecting to my Macbook Pro. doesn't show anything. Please help!

Hey anyone who can help me!
I have a new canon hv30 vixia. I have fianl cut pro X. I have the newest macbook pro. I have gone cords after cord trying to figure out what is the right one because everytimee i conect it nothing at ALL shows up. WHAT CABLE DO I NEED PLEASE!? I bought a fireWire 400 to 800 adapter and then i pluged the fire wire into that since there is no DV cable slot on the macbook pro. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, IM STRESSING OUT!!

My HV20, which is mechanically identical to the HV30, works perfectly with FCP X.
Have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when screen lid is shut

Hi, I've got macbook pro late 2008 model with glass trackpad. When i got it was working fine and everytime i shut the screen lid, it would goto sleep like normal macbook pro does. Recently its not going to sleep at all. I've to put it sleep to by clicking apple logo on the corner and then choosing sleep. I know its a minor thing but I want to fix it. I bought a new charger sometime ago but that doesn't seems to be doing anything to macbook pro or does it?
Thanks

I've tried SMC reset and nothing happened and PRAM reset says you shouldn't do it unless you've a problems with audio, screen and one more.
Is it safe to perform PRAM reset? I mean it wouldn't crash anything or something. Sorry kind of new here

Macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when I close screen

Okay so, I don't know exactly since when this started occurring, but whenever I close the screen of my macbook pro, it looks like it goes to sleep. but it doesn't. then when I open it back up, the fan goes up to 100% and the macbook is all warm and whatnot. Basically what I think, is that it doesn't actually go to sleep. maybe this has to do with the powernap function?
I don't really have any other problems afaik.
anyone else has this?

If you have issues like that (my MAcBook did not want to go to sleep while it was connected to power...)
what you can always do is power up the 'Terminal' and then punch in 'pmset -g assertions'. That's shoing you which application is holdng your mac back from sleep.
More details about how to use 'pmset' HERE.

MacBook Pro doesn't want to boot when cd rom is connected

Hello,
I have an issue with my MacBook Pro (2009) model.
When I'm connecting CD-ROM (internal one) computer doesn't want to boot nither from DC ROM nor from HDD.
As soon as I am dissconecting CD ROM system is booting up without any problem.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Dubbster

Hi Dubbster,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your MacBook Pro is not booting when you have the Mac OS X Install DVD inserted. Do you get any boot options when you hold down the Option key during startup? Please reference the following article and let me know if you need further assistance.

My macbook pro doesn't charge or operate when the battery is connected. When I remove it, it works fine only with the charger only

My laptop is a macbook pro 13 (mid 2010). When the battery is connected on it, the light of the magsafe adapter does not turn on, and the laptop neither. I shall note that the computer was operating normally before the battery was totally empty. I removed the battery and it operates normally. When I put it back, it's again dead, neither charges the battery, nor starts up.
What do you think is the problem about?

Thanks for your response! Resetting the SMC does not change anything.
More information: I used another MagSafe charger and it worked with the battery connected, like nothing happened. I run the apple hardware test and it showed that everything is ok! I would replace my MagSafe adapter, but except that it works fine without the battery, it also works fine on another macbook pro. I am confused! Any more advice please??

How do I get a full screen pre-view on my ipad air when connecting my samsung NX 300 camera

When connecting my samsung nx300 camera via wifi to my ipad air using samsung smart camera app I can only get a small pre-view window on the corner of the screen (80x40) The camera as been back to samsung and they have confirmed that it is working ok.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Doesn't solve your wifi connection problem, but you can use Apple's camera connection kit to transfer pics/videos from your camera. You can connect the camera to the iPad using a USB cable or use the camera's SD card.

How do I get my Macbook Pro to automatically select the location when connecting to the wireless network?

Each time when I want to connect to a different network I have to manually select the location and it's becoming very annoying. How do I get it to automatically select the location?

Check the following settings on your MacBook
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on AirPort on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
If you have a "favorite" network, make sure it is first in the connection list. If it's not, drag it there
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined"
No other boxes should be checked
Click OK, then click Apply

Macbook Pro stuck on Self-Assigned IP when connecting to hotel Wifi

my travel mates are having no problems connecting to hotel wireless.
i can connect to the access point, but i can't get online. my network pane in system preferences says "self-assigned ip" and it won't do anything else.
we're all on macbooks or higher. 10.5.6 or 10.5.7
i've tried replicating the working macs' IP settings as a manual config on my MBP. no luck. it's very odd. i'm stuck. any ideas?
i've used onyx to clear out all caches. done a full shut down, restart, pram reset. toggling my airport card power. i can connect using my Verizon wireless (like now, as i type this). my travel mates also use the same Verizon modems and software. i don't think that that's causing a problem.

This was happening to me at my office today. It kept saying that it had Self-Assigned IP. My ISP told me that it wasn't recognizing my router.
First, I made sure that the Under TCP/IP that "Configure IPv4" was set at "Using DHCP" from the drop-down menu and then I shut my computer down. I then reset my modem and linksys router (unplug power to back of modem first and then router, then plug modem back in, wait for 4th light of modem to go on,then plug router back in). After that, I restarted my iMac and it Configured IPv4 correctly using DHCP. Sorry if I'm being too basic, don't have a lot of networking knowledge. I've asked the hotel I was staying at before to reset their modem/router and they were able to do this for me.

MacBook Pro is no longer working properly when connected to external monitor, help!

My macbookpro has started giving me blue screen issues when connected to my external monitor. It was working fine but now makes the computer unusable when connected. Using i-wire lead from thunderbolt to hdmi on monitor. Monitor works fine when connected to old HP notebook using HDMI lead so monitor not faulty. What has changed on my mac to cause this?

You can change your password to avoid the "L" and you can take your machine into Apple for a keyboard replacement, free under AppleCare/warranty.

Available space on MacBook Pro Doesn't Update After Moving Files to iCloud Drive

I need to free up space on my MacBook Pro and have moved about 10 GB of files from my MacBook Pro to my iCloud Drive; however, the available space on my MacBook Pro doesn't show that 10 GB additional space available. How do I get my MacBook Pro available space to recognize that additional 10 GB as available?

No. Sorry. You may want to look into something like the WD My Cloud drive. I've seen the 2TB version refurbished on the WD site for as low as $99 recently. I considered one myself, but I'm not pushed for space as I have an iMac at home with a 500 GB internal drive and 4TB of external storage attached. I don't need that much accessible remotely. What I do need I sync with Dropbox or OneDrive (which also behave the same way as iCloud drive in that they sync to local storage and still consume disk space).
