My phone won't connect to my Mac anymore what do I do?!?!?

Hi, I have an Xperia U phone (since 2012), and the first time I connected it to my MacBook Pro 13.3' retina display laptop (via USB) it was all good, and I was able to download photos (one month ago), and I downloaded the sonybridge for it, and when I tried to do the smae thing on the desktop computer (also mac) it doesn't object)
However now when I try to connect my phone , the computer doesn't let me now!
What do I need to do, so that it will 1.) recognise my phone
2.) let my download my photos and things off my phone again!!
Thanks ever so much, I appreciate your knowledge and the time you are taking from your day to try and reslove my issue

Double click your Home button, swipe right on the multitask window, you will find the orientation lock on the left. Tap it to unlock and Home button to close Multitask windows. Now landscape orientation will work when you turn your phone

My iPod won't connect to my Mac... Help?

My iPod won't connect with my Mac anymore.
It connected last time I tried it (four months ago, about). It's a Gen Two or Three (I don't know the difference, sorry) and I haven't changed anything about my Mac since then, or my iTunes.
If you can help at all, please reply. And don't hesitate to ask for more info.
EDIT: Oh, and I've tried resetting the iPod, putting it in Disk Mode, using a different USB port and restarting the computer (several times).
The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" and the iPod symbol appears on Finder and I am able to access it, but it won't appear in iTunes.

I was having the same problem--no iPod on Desktop, no iPod in iTunes. This fixed it for me, at least:
1. Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. (My iPod DID show up here, though it wasn't mounted.)
2. Select the iPod in the disk list on the left.
3. Click "Verify Disk." (In my case, this revealed an underlying error.)
4. Click "Repair Disk." (If this works, great--stop here. It didn't work for me...)
5. Click the "Erase" tab at the top of the right-hand main pane.
6. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for Volume Format.
7. Click "Erase" button at bottom right.
Almost immediately, my iPod showed up on my Desktop, iTunes launched, and it was as though I had completed a Restore of the iPod.
Hope that helps....

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

I downloaded iOS 8.2 and now my phone won't connect to the iTunes store, and my iTunes Match is turned off and won't turn back on...

I downloaded iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5s 32 GB and now my phone won't connect to the iTunes store, and my iTunes Match is turned off and won't turn back on... I'm trying to log in from Settings > iTunes & App Store... not working... I have reset the phone twice, tried via cell service, and rebooted my wireless router..

As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanks

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to re-enable the add-on and let us know whether it works in Firefox 6.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

Welcome Cheirhandrea!
There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
So we need to know:
1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
2) The make and model of the keyboard.
I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

HT1695 I just bought an iphone and an ipad, the ipad connects to my BT Homehub fine but my phone won't connect at all.. any suggestions?

I just bought an iphone and an ipad, the ipad connects to my BT Homehub but my phone won't connect at all. The phone has connected to other networks fine... any suggestions?

When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
The problem may be the USB cable.

After iOS 6.1.1 update, phone won't connect to data network

I've just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.1 and now my phone won't connect to AT&T's data network at all. Wifi still works fine, but if I turn it off I have full bars, but no connection to the data network. This worked just fine before the update--what can I do to fix this?

Same with me. 4s-6.1.1--Airtel-india.

No, you are not. Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data. Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock. I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person.

Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.
