My new Macbook Pro will not recognize my iphone in itunes...

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

HT1492 My new macbook pro will not recognize my password

I opened my macbook pro 13.3 last nightt for the first time, when I went to shut down it asked for my password. I entered what I thought was the same password I have for my other coomputer. This morning it won't recognize it. I must have made a keystroke error but there is no way to change it. I can't get beyond the user picture, Shouldn't I have a secodn chance, It's very unforgiving.

Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro. I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive. When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine. So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did). Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all. First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive? It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

My hard drive is now connected. But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one. Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

My macbook pro will not recognize my WD external hard drive 1tb

My macbook pro will not recognize my WD 1 tb external hard drive that I have as my time machine backup. I worked just fine for a long time now The only way I can see it is through Disk utility. And when I try to repair the disk it say it cant be repaired, and i need to back up files and reformat. All my backups are on the hard drive. How do I back up the back if I cant get it recognized? Uggghhhhh I have several years of info on the hard drive .. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi cterry66,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to reset the user account password on your computer but do not know the original password. If you set up your Apple ID with that user account, you can use that Apple ID to reset your OS X user password. Please use the information provided in the attached article to complete the process.

We've used the 400 to 800 firewire cables with limited success in the past...dropped frames was the main problem. Only used them until the Sonnet FireWire PCIe Card came in to allow a 400 firewire.

Server on I-Photo on my MacBook Pro will not recognize my ID/Password combination

Details help - is this trying to sent email? What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
The general answer is
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Since I installed the last Mavericks update, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader

Since I installed the last Mavericks update, OS 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader. Maybe it's a coincidence; maybe not. Any ideas?

Check the Barnes & Noble or Nook websites to see if there are any Nook driver or software updates for OS X Mavericks.

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD. It will play a music CD

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD or boot up from either TechTools Pro or DiskWarrior. I tried to just install these on the computer with the computer running and it will do the same. When pressing the C key to start from the disc, it still does not accept it. It will cycle several times then reject disc.
It will play a music CD.
OS 10.6.8
CD/DVD Player.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Fijim

Thanks for the reply!
I had set up an appointment at my local Apple store previously so they could reinstall Mavericks, so I just went in a little early, showed them the error message, and they determined that it just needed to be reformatted. I didn't have anything on there that I needed, since I hadn't accessed it for a few years, so we wiped the drive, reformatted and now I have my back-up.
I appreciate the suggestions

Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

New Macbook Pro will not let me login

I have a fairly new Macbook Pro. When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons. I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon. This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks. I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend. Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong? I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem. This seems to be an iOS problem.

Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.
