IPhone connectivity and recognition as a device by MacPro

As opposed to past recognition, my MacPro does not recognize as a device, my iPhone 5, when I USB it to the computer. Previously, the computer would list the iPhone under "Devices", open software, run a couple of programs, check the phone software, sync everything etc. Now under "Devices", it lists only my int. & ext. HD's, not the iPhone and none of the software poorly described above appears. Perhaps all is happening thru WiFi and the cloud but I would like to be sure.
I have shut down and unplugged the phone and the computer, replugged and restarted, without change. Any ideas? reassurances?
Many thanks.

Try downloading iTunes and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes first.

Show device and media in Photo-loader, Iphoto, Preview

Hello,
I'm new to the " mac World" and I can say I'm very excited about my new imac with snow leopard on it !
Have however one small problem (??)
Fact is that, if I connect either a digital Camera, a Camcorder or just a SD card using the external card reader, it takes a long time (approx. a minute and a half) before Iphoto, or photo-loader or preview show the connected device. (In photo-loader it takes another minute before the media is shown)
The device shows on the desktop instantly after connection, problem is only in photo-loader, Preview and/or iphoto.
Resolution etc doesn't effect the time, tried it already with lower picture resolution. It seems to be the recognition of the devices thats very slow.
Is this normal behavior or is there something wrong ?
Anyone experience the same ??
Thanks !
Gr. Franz

Hi Franz & welcome to the forums.
It seems to be the recognition of the devices thats very slow.
All I can tell you is that the common denominator with those sources is apparently USB, which is typically the slowest bus on your computer.
Not sure what you can do except to try to use at least USB2 devices. All it takes is one older USB 1 type device on the bus to slow things down. How old is your digital camera? Card reader? Camcorder? USB camcorders are usually quite slow for file transfers, in my experience.
For me, the delay seems minimal. I can however, imagine it taking as long as you quote if the number of images is considerable, in which case your example would seem typical.

No sign of iPod recognition when plugging in Shuffle

Hello everyone-
First off, I'm running Windows XP and the latest version of iTunes. I have an iPod Shuffle, 1 gb.
I've had this iPod about 2 months now. It has not undergone any serious conditions like getting wet. It has worked perfectly for those two months until yesterday.
Last night, while working out, my iPod decided to go out. It was not dropped or jerked around, but rather fastened to my belt securely. I assumed that it had simply died (I keep forgetting to charge it at night) so I go to my computer and put it in the dock. The charging light does not light up. I open iTunes: the iPod doesn't appear in the left toolbar. I reconnect the iPod, nothing, reconnect USB cable, nothing, try on different computers, nothing. I check Windows Explorer and My Computer: nothing. No recognition whatsoever.
The docking cable has simply been sitting in the same place as usual, subject to no events that would explain how it acts. The USB port works perfectly with a flash drive.
I then update iTunes (I've been putting it off for a long time, probably went from v6 to v7). Nothing changes.
Help? I've looked around the other threads and nothing seems to fit my case.
In summary, there is NOOOOOO recognition of the device. Zip, zilch, null. The problem is NOT the USB port, nor the USB power. The iPod has charged in this place happily until just yesterday. I am currently assuming the iPod is either FRIED, its battery is DEAD (repeated turning on-offs have yielded nothing), the USB cable is fried, or a combination of these 3.
Any more information needed, please request below. Also, is there a warranty?

I am now on my second Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation and this one has done the same thing you are talking about! The first one died because I forgot to charge it so the light was red. When i plugged it up to the dock to charge the light that usually blinks to recognize it's charging did not come on. There was no activity on my computer either. Usually itunes opens but it did not this time. I know it is not my computer because when I took back the first Ipod and got a new one, the new had no problems when I put the plug in the port. Now the replacement has a dead battery and is red and I do the exact same thing, plug it up to the port to charge and NO ACTIVITY.
What is going on? Once it goes red is that it? Is this a defect? Thank goodness I purchased the warranty coverage on this unit at Best Buy. But I can't get my money back because it's over 30 days. But they will continue to replace it to up to a year. i don't want to go back and get a 3rd ipod because it's too much time and energy to keep reloading all these songs on the ipod!!
What should I do?

Device not recognized by Mac Desktop Software

I have tried to sync my Blackberry 8830 World Edition with the latest version of the Mac Blackberry Desktop Software (v. 2.1.3, build 10), but the device is not recognized.
I am working on a MacBook Air running under OS 10.6.8.
I've tried changing USB cables, but this makes no difference.
Some postings advise restarting the computer with the "3" and "2" keys depressed, in order to boot into 32-bit mode, but this hasn't enabled the recognition of the device either.
Thanks in advance for suggestions/advice.

Hey newsmith,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you mass storage enabled on the BlackBerry? Also does the BlackBerry show that it is charging? Try removing the battery and place it back in.

Mobile Recovery App DROID X Unrecognized Device

Here we go again.
Asurion released their Mobile Recovery app with Android 2.1. The software permitted users to find their phones from Asurion's web page or even file a claim against loss. However, when MotoRizon updated the DX to Froyo, the program failed to recognize the device. MotoRizon/Asurion left its mobile app users in the lurch for several weeks until Asurion finally made the Froyo DX "recognizable" to their software.
We have the same situation now. The company contracted under Verizon to insure your phone sends out the same "device unrecognized" message when you try to open the app under GB.
I haven't tried to call Verizon on this issue; I don't have 3 hours to waste on the phone. Last time I talked to them about my community forum account here, they couldn't figure out which department handles the web operations. I can only imagine the runaround buck pass I'll get about Asurion.
It would seem that Verizon bears some responsibility for this situation. Asurion insures Verizon's devices, and Verizon offers the software as a service. So wouldn't it make sence to communicate with Asurion ahead of the rollouts to make sure their devices will work under the new OS? And why does Asurion demand "recognition" from the device itself? Isn't the fact I have paid insurance on my phone enough? My device has to prove its provenance, too? **bleep**?
Just a thought.
I decided to buy into SeekDroid to lock/wipe/locate/recover my phone. It cost a little more, but they cover any phone, not just recognized devices.
Mike
Once more into the breach

I understand why this issue would be frustrating, and want to provide you some information to assist you. I don't want you to feel like you are getting the runaround. Mobile Recovery is made by Asurion's engineering department. We try to partner with our vendors and providers to resolve issues that arise with updates. I will submit this to our product team to see what we can do to help resolve this issue. I would recommend also posting this to the Mobile Recovery support forum.

N97 Software Updater - Fails to find device...

Hi all,
Hoping someone will be able to help...pardon the waffle, but I'll try and be as specific as possible.
I have a Nokia N97 and I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC.
Every time I try to delete a photo on my N97 I receive the message "General: System Error" - I can't take any photos now...and my phone memory is FULL to capacity (2.0ish Mb free) even though all my photos are saved to mass memory and I can't actually SEE any files in my phone memory folders when I explore them in PC Suite.
I checked the support forums and it was suggested I needed new firmware because the original was buggy.
So off I went to Software Updater on my PC.
On previous occasions, Nokia Software Updater has found my phone without any problems. However, today I plugged it in again and although PC Suite works fine, Software Updater is failing to find my device when it is "Searching for connected device"...
Again, I checked the forums. I have uninstalled both PC Suite and Software Updater, reinstalled them and tried again. Still no recognition of my device via USB (PC Suite mode) in Nokia Software Updater.
On my device I've hit the SW Update and the only one listed is a small optional Messaging update which I don't have the phone memory to install anyway. I don't have any apps installed, no games, nothing other than photos, a few music albums, messages and contacts.
Any and all suggestions would be fantastic - many thanks in advance...

I can't actually SEE any files in my phone memory folders when I explore them in PC Suite.
USB Mass Storage Mode open in Windows Explorer .

Version 2 Shuffle not recognised by iTunes

Greetings to all,
I hope that someone out there can help me as the Apple Centre, after 89 minutes couldn't help, (that's £9 I can't get back!)
Anyway, I bought a blue Version 2 Shuffle last month, plugged it in and iTunes burst into life, except that it, and the desktop, showed the shuffle as a white iPod! Weird! Anyway I downloaded a playlist of 95 tracks, only to find that 70 tracks showed on the shuffle....okay very weird....Also a message saying that I was running an old verion of iPod software yadda, yadda, yadda! And I should download the latest version.....easier said than done! The front page of iTune (under "device") showed 4 pages, ie Summary, Music, Podcasts, and Audiobooks???? very very weird.......and to cap it all the software version said N/A, the serial number said N/A, the format said Windows(???) and I had a "greyed out" restore section. Meaning I couldn't get an update/restore even if I wanted to.
The tracks on the shuffle didn't include any Apple lossless files, even though I have a version 3 30Gb ipod that works fine with everthing on my Mac! Also my wife's 4Gb nano works fine as well. Anyway when I switched my shuffle on, it did that mutiblink thing with the lights indicating firmware problems............****!
I took it back to the store, it worked fine on their mac, a MacPro. They restored it, it played music, went home, plugged it in....it didn't work, returned it, same thing happened, they wouldn't replace it, said their engineer would make a decision over it, 3 days later...he said it was fine. Rang Apple Centre (89 min call, and 4 specialists later) they replaced it with a new one. Plugged it in, drum roll please....same **** thing! So I did the discussions route, I downloaded Ipod Restore Utility, it said it couldn't work on this iPod, hmmmm, tried Disc Utility, restored it as Mac Extended Journaled ( at least it shows as "Macintosh Format" on iTunes now).
It still however wouldn't play any music, I am running out of options, oh I also install a Sonneto USB 2.0 PCI card to upgrade my USB 1.1 ports, still no effect.
I have the current iTunes, 7.1.1
I am running OS 10.4.9.
I am getting grey hairs.
Please help.
G4 Quicksilver PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.9) 733MHz, 760MB, 40Gb + 250gb

1) This is true. Disk Utility is not helpful in this situation because the shuffle (along with most new mactel stuff) is default FAT32 and NOT mac format. So I tried what you did too and it is not possible to have a mac formatted 2nd ipod shuffle to "trick" it into working like a normal ipod.
2) This is also true though because you are never seeing the correct settings tab for the shuffle there was really no way for you to know this...
3) This has been mentioned before but I do not understand it enough to attempt it as a fix or solution to this problem...and to be quite honest it sounds alot like throwing the baby out with the bath water to me. Maybe if Deggie could post more specific information as to what "driver' is damaged this solution would make more sense. After all the drivers necessary for recognition of the device are USB related in the case of the shuffle. So is Deggie saying the USB driver is damaged? In my situation, if this were indeed the case then why is the Finder able to recognize the USB shuffle...along with all my other myriad of USB drives and devices?
Please understand my hesitation at the suggestion that the problem is the OS, especially when everything else is working absolutely perfectly. It may in the future come down to me rebuilding my laptop just to get iTunes to recognize my 2nd gen ipod shuffle, but I just think that is a undocumented risk. Rebuilding your system is any tech's LAST RESORT and I think it is fine to suggest to someone but especially for legacy mac users using it can introduce more problems than it is worth. (not to mention it might not fix anything at all!)
just my opinion in trying to solve this issue...

My N800 review

My full review with pics at http://reviews.phonereport.info
Cellphones have come a long way and so has Nokia. From being a paper factory to the biggest phone maker, Nokia is widening its products.
In one way Nokia is making a big mistake as people like convergence and Nokia is separating everything in this Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. By being a dedicated Internet Tablet it should be compatible with every type of Internet connectivity available, but it isn’t, it does not have GSM or UMTS. Unlike its rivals in the UMPC world like Flybook, Nokia has got experience in mobile connectivity but didn’t apply it. Other basic aspect of this Internet Tablet that I can point out in this beginning is that there are no business applications, such as our basic Word Processor or Spreadsheet.
But like its predecessor 770, this device for a beautiful screen size and resolution, and the hardware is improved.
The N800 is powered by a TI OMAP 2420 processor boasting 320 MHz of clockspeed, more than the 770 which has only 266 MHz. This device also carries a satisfying 128MB of RAM and 256MB of flash memory, double of the 770.
A touchscreen is used to control the tablet, and two memory card slots, one MMC and one SD are used to provide extra storage. Besides that, it still got a camera that pops out, a built-in stand and a 3.5mm jack for headset and microphone.
The availability and the price aren’t very comfortable. I haven’t seen one in South Africa yet beside this one that Wom World sent me for a review, and the price is too much to ask for such a basic device.
First I saw this huge 4.1” touchscreen with keys on its left side and on top. It was very slim and light for its size. The dimensions are 75x144x13mm and it weighs 206g.
There is a joypad with 5-way navigation and a blue LED flashing only when the device is locked or when the battery is low. Below that there is a set of three keys: return, menu, and home keys. This keypad is not well built at all because it moves, it does not fit the housing properly.
If you look at the N800, you will see many speaker holes, which make you think that it is extremely loud. But you shouldn’t judge Nokias by their outwards appearance.
On the middle there is this huge widescreen boasting 800x480 resolution and strong colours, but there is too much glare and reflection, it can get hectic to watch a movie with your friends in a bus ride, as you will constantly need to tilt and turn the device.
On the right side there is a slot for the stylus, a 3.5mm jack with 3 channels, an N-Series charger pin, and if you lift up the stand, there is a miniUSB port. This isn’t convenient as I sometimes like to leave my phones lying down during data transfer, and this feature does not let me do that.
On the left side there is a camera that is hidden and you need to push inside so that the spring mechanism releases it and activates GTalk, it can rotate but it’s only for video calls so it’s a VGA.
On the top, from left to right, there is a zoom out, fullscreen, zoom in button sets, and then there is an ON/OFF button. On the middle there is a high-sensitive microphone for VoIP. Under the N800 there is SD/miniSD/microSD slot that has a sensor when you open the slot, it deactivates the card. If you put the provided miniSD, its fine, but with your own microSD with adaptor, it’s almost impossible to remove it, in fact, it kept mine inside and I cannot remove it.
The stand is a good addition to the tablet, there are two positions, on one you can watch a movie as it sits perpendicular to the surface, on the other you can put it on your desk and work with it as it’s at an angle.
The back cover doesn’t fit the housing and it moves like the keypad. Underneath the cover there is a BP-5L 1500mAH battery that does satisfy the needs of most people. Average standby time is 110 hours, and use time is around 6 hours, tested by me. There is also a MMC slot and a cover sensor, that tells the device if the back cover is open or not.
The Nokia N800 runs off Linux Maemo Internet Tablet OS 2007. Not a dynamic Operating System at all. First of all, a bad choice from Nokia, as they should stick to Symbian, they are good at it, and people like it. I do not blame Nokia, they wanted to change, but there only problem is that they did not do it properly. It’s not their first Internet Tablet, I never saw the 770, but if it was like this, they didn’t learn much out of it. Clearly this device is intended to people who want to try something new.
There is an awesome finger recognition system, the device detects if you tap with the stylus or with the finger. If you tap with the finger, larger icons appear and a fullscreen keyboard appears, where you can use both hands to tap letters, and it is really cool because instead of hearing the keys click, you hear the virtual sound. With the stylus, a small keyboard appears where you can use either keys or handwriting recognition. Strange thing, there is no security codes or PIN.
The UI is very neat but complicated for beginners. Imagine your Windows Desktop with absolutely nothing, only your Start button and System Tray. There is a set of icons in the left, a small taskbar on top, and the rest of desktop is customizable with plugins such as Google Search and Clock. The icons have whatsoever no labels, so you have to guess what they are for, and that’s irritating for beginners.
There is world icon which has a set of web options and bookmarks, the second icon is practically dedicated to Google Talk but also has email options. Finally the third icon has something like your Start > All programs menu.
In that Programs Icon, you find Media Player, RSS Feed Reader, Images, File Manager, and Skype. Beneath that, there are a set of Folders:
* Web – has Web itself and Bookmarks.
* Contact – Contacts, e-mail (POP3 and IMAP4), Internet Call (VoIP), and IM (Google Talk).
* Utilities – Calculator, Clock, Notes, PDF Reader, Sketch.
* Games – Chess, Blocks, Mahjong, Marbles.
* Tools – Application Manager, Backup/Restore, Control Panel, Connection Manager, Teach Handwriting.
* Extras – Maemo Pad, Camera, Media Streamer, Rdesktop.
* Connection – EarthLink.
* Search.
* Help.
The Media Player was disappointing on the audio side, it does support most formats: M3U and PLS playlists, partially on ASX, WAX, WVX and WPL. Supports AAC, AMR, AWB, M4A, MP2, MP3, RA, WAV, WMA. It streams AAC, AMR, AWB, M4A, MP3, MP2, RA, and WAV. On the video side it supports AVI, 3GP MP4, MPE, MPEG, MPG, EM, RMVB and RV. This all seems very good until you deal with it. There is no equalizer, there is no visualization. SRS is not present and the earphones have no bass feeling. The player interacts positively with MP3s but blanks out on AAC, it does not show time or seek bar, it just plays the track.
The video player is simply great, files in DivX are played in their full resolution and perfect colour, just make sure you do not play movies while the sun is out, the glare is terrible.
For beginners the video player will not make a difference as there is no tool to convert videos, there is no CD such as Nokia PC Suite. Most people do not have time to look for a suitable N800 converter, as most of them did not even work properly according to my tests.
You can minimize the music player while browsing the internet. Other basic features of the player are shuffle and repeat. Another bad thing is that while playing music, it goes to screensaver mode so we cannot pause or use other controls.
These entire Contacts feature is more like a Google Talk package.
I see Nokia joining Microsoft’s Windows Live for Symbian OS but here it joins Google? Perhaps Microsoft wanted them to use Windows OS on the N800…
You can see all contacts and sort them by initials or you can group them. The chat feature is slow to start and the video feature is totally useless because Google Talk does not support video chat. You can also block contacts and merge them. Importing and exporting is also possible and it supports Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Gmail, vCard, and Nokia phones. You can set presence to On, Away, Busy and define if you want GTalk to login when the N800 establishes a connection.
The email client is detailed, lets you create unlimited accounts and has a detailed wizard for that purpose, even though Gmail was difficult to setup and Google did not mention N800 on their help pages. As any basic email client, you can retrieve attachments, save sent emails, save drafts, and have an outbox. It is possible to save signatures, but no HTML or images on them. There is also an option to search messages.
The email client tries to sync email when you access the program even if there is no connection. To send emails is very fast and contains basic word editing features such as changing fonts.
Internet Calling is close to perfect in both GTalk and Skype, but mostly on Skype as Google Talk always has errors on it.
Skype is a good add-on to the device, it tells you the balance available and it even lets you buy credit. It’s loaded with features except video call. You can setup sounds like the computer version, leave Skype on the background, receive calls from non-internet numbers, establish voicemail and even call forwarding. It is fast logging in, can save your password or even create an account if you do not own one.
The PDF reader is complete with zoom options, fullscreen, and with document sending options, you can choose if you want to open images or not and even save the page as another name.
The Notes application is a simple word processor with font chooser, bullets and few other options, you can also search for words in the text. The file is not saved as a .doc.
If you are bored or feeling creative, you can always draw pictures or customize the ones you have with different brush thickness and custom colours. The program reminds you to save before quitting.
All games are built in 3D but there are no advanced games such as car racing, where the processor could help getting some quality across.
A very well built Chess game is present with tips and levels. There is a Blocks game that plays in portrait mode. Mahjong is also interactive and with clues. Lastly there is Marbles, where you can get to do a combination of marbles in a labyrinth which I find very complicated.
The Application Manager is not only about uninstalling applications, it lets you browse installable applications, there are 100s of them which can bring some usability on the device. As I am writing this, I notice video centres, and Ogg Vorbis codecs to install on the phone, but no simulation games, only puzzles.
The Control Panel has pretty much everything needed to manage the N800, it is possible to pair with a Bluetooth Keyboard, set the MMC to act as RAM, define connection method as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and even train handwriting recognition.
The Extras it was me who pretty much installed them, there is Camera, to take photos with the poor camera quality and resolution. Media Streamer does its job pretty well, and same about Internet Radio, although they are soft in volume, and there is Maemo Mapper that is brilliant but slow GPS guiding application, works with external GPS but does not come with preloaded maps, but lets you stream maps from various sources such as Google Earth.
If after all this you think the software can be dynamic, think again as no other OS is compatible with this, and it lacks on what any businessman would need in such a device, Office applications.
For this device to achieve its main goal it needs powerful communication skills, and it does. It has the best Wi-Fi antenna I have tried, it detects wireless networks that not even my notebook or my N95 can. It can be set to 100mW or 10mW and it supports all security protocols in 802.11b/g networks.
There is also a Bluetooth connection for the device to connect via a phone and use Data Cal or Packet Access. You can use the N800 to explore devices that support OBEX file transfer, but you cannot browse the N800 via OBEX, only use it for Object Push.
The only way for a computer to browse the two memory cards in the n800 is mass storage mode. There is no TV-out either, but the high-resolution screen is enough for everything, but a docking station would have been useful.
The sound is just terrible, there are stereo speakers but they are light-years away from loudness, in music or movies. Thankfully there is a 3.5mm jack and stereo earphones are supplied, or else it would be useless to have a media player. With two memory card ports you could have around 10GB of space, if you can afford it, perhaps and internal hard drive would have been useful. For basic sounds like browsing the internet, the speakers are enough but VoIP sounds too soft in the Tablet, a real waste of potential.
Now for the main part of the device, the Internet, or Web as Nokia calls it. Obviously multipage browsing is supported which makes browsing easier and faster. Fullscreen browsing is the best part with the lovely touchscreen. Media Streaming is fast and high quality so it depends on the server for the speed provided. Javascript is supported as well so no internet content is missed. On the security side, SSL2 is possible, but there is no parental lock. You can manage bookmarks like a proper browser or email webpages. There is even an option to set the current page as home. Zooming helps navigation, but what really makes it fun is thumb dragging like the iPhone.
The History is divided in dates, and plug-ins can be installed such as Shockwave Flash. I have no complaints about the browser, its simply wonderful.
There isnt much else to talk about, the N800 really made news in my community as they don’t sell them in South Africa, but now its time to give it back to Wom World. I believe that with time the OS will improve and new applications will come up. Im really looking for an upgrade with a keyboard in the box, a high-end game, and most importantly, other application. (I know much of this is coming…soon).
Advantages: Excellent web browser, powerful Wi-Fi antenna, 2 memory card slots, 3.5mm jack, high resolution, VoIP, DivX player.
Disadvantages: No keyboard, very soft speakers, no hard drive, low spec camera, non-dynamic OS, no video converter, no Office applications.

IPhone no longer connects after 10.6.8 Update

Hello All,
Last night, I ran the 10.6.8 update to my Late 2007 Macbook Pro. Everything seemed fine and dandy (Hey, it fixed the App Store for me...) Until I tried to plug in my iPhone this morning.
At first, it gave no recognition that a device had been connected, then it began to connect and disconnect rapidly. Eventually, leaving me with an error (0xe8000001) and a warning on my phone that 'Charging was not supported with this accessory.'.
I rebooted my system and the phone, and now it completely fails to discover my connected phone.
I'm running 4.2.1 on the phone, but I'd be happy to update it to see if that solves the problem... but since I can't connect, I can't update... This was working perfectly up until 10.6.8...
I'm also running iTunes 10.3.1.
Someone please help!
Thanks,
-Eric

Not recognized by windows- very slow to charge

The other day my iphone 4 all the sudden couldnt connect to the computer via usb.
- the closest thing to recognition it in "device manager" it thinks its an mass storage device with no found driver
-I have tried varous cords and docks, but the battery charging icon does not appear
- if i leave it over night connected to the computer, it does have a full charge my morning (so far)
- i reinstalled itunes and I would assume drivers- but the apple mobile device isnt even listed in device manager and itunes does not see it
I guess I havent tried to reset the phone or recover or whatever the original settings. Could it be a faulty dock connector on the phone?

Wow! Thanks for the help. This forum's awsome!...any way I guess I figured it out myself. Seems that a new dock connector did the trick!

My Firepod (presonus) not working on windows xp on my mac ?

Hi guys, so here is the deal.
I just baught a 17inch 2.8 mac book pro to help me with music recording.
I am an old pc user and all my programs are for that platform.
So what I did is install windows xp pro (legal version) with the help of boot camp.
Everything went well (driver, internet, wireless, video, everything).
I made a sh** load of test and all the fonctions are working just fine.
The only problem is with my presonus firepod sound card.
I downloaded the latest drivers (version 2.46) on the presonus site and I ran the installation wihtout any problems. I even had a windows auto detect and auto install warning while I was installing the firepod. So there is a recognition of the device by the computer for sure. After I completed the installation (I had a message from the set-up program) I saw the desktop icon appear and a click on the control panel button confirmed me that connection is good.
SO THE PROBLEM IS:
I can't find/see the devide in the audio devide selection menu in the sound control panel. I don't see it in the in, out and recording menu. I just see the reel tech hd device.
Concequence: I can't select the sound card and make it work under window XP for no reason.
Even in cubase, I see that the device is there and install, but when I click on it I have the : no device conected warning.
With my pc that use the same version of windows xp, the system would even select automaticly the presonus sounnd card as primary if it was plugged in the computer at the start up, I neved had to select it manually in the sound control panel, but the icons and all the inputs where there if I wanted.
The light at the front panel usually turn blue when the connection is made but when I am on XP on my mac, all I see is red and no external sound card anywhere even after the proper drivers installation.
can anyone help me ?
The sound card is working just fine when I boot Mac Os leopard or with my laptop pc, so I know that it's not the problem.

I have exactly the same Problem... Don't know what I can do more! Who can help us !!?

Itunes will not install or update

I seem to be having a right royal stuff up with itunes in all aspects, which started with itunes not recognising my tethered devices. After a few hours of research and following online instructions from others having the same problems, I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled.
I d/l 10.6.3 and began installation, but got the "The installation failed" message. I d/l again just to confirm it wasn't corrupt but again, it failed.
To try something different, I d/l 10.3.1 - but same thing. Fail.
Using itunes ( itunes 9 ) from time machine I have attempted to update, but get the "...cannot contact server" message. Also - no recognition of tethered devices.
When I run software update, itunes also does not appear as a required update - even though we know it needs updating as it's version 9.
I'm at a complete loss as to what to do or what's gone wrong.
In an itunes failure spiral.
Running Snow Leopard.

I need the same help. Can someone at Apple get this figured out NOW?

Sony camcorder not recognized on Imac?

I have an older Sony Camcorder Digital 8 mm. I plugged into my new Imac via USB cable and there is no recognition that a device is connected. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It needs to be connected via firewire (all tape-based cameras do).
Does the model appear here?
iMovie 11 - cameras supported:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
Also, try this:
Open the Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and set the default audio output to 44100hZ. Then make sure that the audio output of the camera is set to 16 bits and not 12 bits. Try the camera again.
If no luck try these:
iMovie: Cannot See or Control Camera

A Sony fix is suggested here:
