Old ipod won't mount to new macbook pro

Hello, I just set up my new MacBook Pro, and when I try to connect my ipod, it won't mount either to the desktop or into iTunes. the screen of the ipod says "do not disconnect" just like with the old computer... and I transferred my account and music and settings from the old one to the new one.
anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
Bruce
Oh yeah... it's a 40 Gig with a scroll wheel... not sure the "name" of the generation, it says "copyright 2003" on the back.
and my new shuffle works just fine with the new computer...

Which version of iTunes does your new MacBook have? You will probably want to update it if it isn't 9.2. Do that first. Also, restart your MacBook book. That will make sure that everything else is working properly as well (I'm thinking USB ports).
If your touch is still not recognized, you will need to make sure that Apple Mobile Device Services is running properly on the MacBook. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
And if you are close to an Apple store and tired of playing with it, make an appointment with Genius and take your MacBook and touch in and let Apple fix it.

  • IPod won't mount on new Mac Pro

    I just got a new Mac Pro that came with Snow Leopard. After getting everything setup I plugged in my iPod shuffle and it won't mount when plugged into either of the 2 front USB ports or any of the 3 back USB ports. When I plug it into the USB port on the keyboard it mounts and I can sync it through iTunes. When plugged into the front two ports the green charging light comes on, but it doesn't mount. The back 3 ports just cause the iPod to blink the green charging light quickly, it isn't a solid green.
    I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem or the Mac Pro. The iPod was working perfectly with my G5 running Leopard.
    Any ideas?

    I just don't get computers sometimes (even after being a software developer for over 25 years).
    I had restarted the computer multiple times while installing other software but the iPod would not mount.
    I took your suggestion to try another USB device and the only other device I had was a Canon scanner. I installed the drivers which required another restart. And the scanner worked and now the iPod works on all of the USB ports. It is mounted in iTunes and I can sync it on any port.
    I checked the console logs files and didn't find anything unusual before it didn't work and nothing different now that the iPod mounts.

    Hi, a brand new Crucial SSD in a brand new 2.5" USB3 enclosure won't mount on my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  • , how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
    When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
    It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
    I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
    If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
    Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
    I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
    Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

  • Old Mac Ipod won't sync with new Macbook (help!)

    Ok so this is probably something really easy but I can't for the life of me get it to work.
    I got a new Macbook Pro recently and have been building up a new library with my older songs and newer ones I've acquired since the purchase. My problem is when I go to sync my Ipod to the new Mac my ipod automatically goes to the "ok to disconnect" screen without syncing anything. I pressed "sync" and "transfer purchases" and it still goes into disconnect mode, very quickly too.
    Its almost as if the ipod is protecting itself and dosen't want to sync to the new Mac for that reason, but that's what I need it to do. Its a 'Mac to Mac' move so its not like I'm putting a Mac ipod into a Windows computer
    What do I have to do, or how do I get to a setting that would let my ipod sync successfully on this new laptop? If anybody could help it would totally save the day.
    The ipod is an iPod classic 2008-09 120gb

    Hey Ginger795
    You would have to tell it to erase and sync the iPod. With a new library you will want to sync exclusively or set up “Manually manage music” on the iPod to make it work properly
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • New iPod Touch won't sync to new Macbook Pro?

    I'm getting really frustrated because Wednesday a brand new Macbook Pro and today I got a brand new iPod Touch. I connect it to my computer and it chimes, shows that it's charging, but doesn't show in itunes. The screen on my iPod is the "connect to iTunes" screen. I've tried restarting the iPod & computer, connecting & reconnecting the USB cable, switching ports, etc. I really don't understand why two new devices don't work together. Any help??

  • How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

    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?

  • Can I use my old Design Suite CS5 on my new MacBook Pro?

    I bought the Design Suite CS5 two, three years ago and now I have bought a new MacBook Pro. I've heard that I cannot use the programs that I bought, and that I now have to start subscribing to the programs using Creative Cloud. Is this true?

    Absolutely untrue.  Download, install, and activate your software from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    Deactivate the software on your old computer if you don't use it any more.

  • Urgent-logic serial number won't work on new MacBook Pro

    Just purchased a new MacBook Pro & did Migration Assistant. Logic now asks for my serial number, I punch it in and get a Invalid Serial Number dialog box. Whats up with this, my Logic Studio package is 2 years old and correct. Help!

    HI, I had logic pro support on the telepone, and he said I had reversed the last two letters,I am not normally dyslecsic but he saved me because he was using shared screen,a fine thing at times like that.
    This is almost a year ago, I hope you got it working!

  • Prior Cloned Drive(s) won't recognize on New Macbook Pro

    Just bought a new (mid-2012) 13" MBP 2.9GHz i7; tried to either:
    swap it's drive with my prior (late-2011) MacBook Pro 13" (which I've swapped without issue before);
    it yet it only shows a circle with a diagonal line through it (meaning it doesn't see the drive)?
    I've always done this with a couple of my SuperDuper! (Lion 10.7.4) cloned drives before; yet this new macbook pro isn't recognizing them internally. They DO show up via Firewire/USB from my External; yet I am NOT able to boot from the External (as I used to be able to prior this new mbp).
    Also, please note:
    - I've used Disk Utilities (showing no issue).
    - I zapped the PRAM immediately.
    - The new Mac came with 10.7.3 (and my drives were 10.7.4).
    - I've updated this shipped drive to 10.7.4 (command-r).
    - I've tried to hold down the c-key upon startup.
    Does anyone know why I could swap drives to my prior mbp; (as well as Boot from my External, but not with my new mbp?
    Any suggestions to solve this are most welcome, thanks!

    No, because in order to download it you must be using the new computer. Now, if you have an external enclosure for your existing drive, then you can connect it to the new computer and reinstall Lion. Since you would be booted on the new computer's Recovery HD, this would download and install the version of Lion compatible with your new computer onto the selected drive of your choice, such as the old drive in the external enclosure.
    The essential process:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Of course you would change the target drive to the external drive before starting the installation. Reinstalling may take upwards of an hour to complete excluding the time needed to download Lion.

  • I need help migrating my applications from my old G5 power mac to my new macbook pro

    Im struggling migrating my applications from my G5 power mac to my new macbook pro. My G5 runs on OS X 10.5.8 and when using the traditional tool of Migration assistant my new macbook urges me to update my G5 which it obviously it can't due to its original licensing agreements. I have no codes for my software as it came on the pc: I need , Logic pro 9, the complete adobe CS4 package and final cut pro . How can i put this on my new mac ??

    So you never really owned the software to begin with then. Software is licensed and has to be transferred and when you bought your Mac (PC) they really did not.
    I have no codes for my software as it came on the pc: I need , Logic pro 9, the complete adobe CS4 package and final cut pro . How can i put this on my new mac ??
    As for a temporary solution, you can run 10.6.8 as a VM under later versions of Mac OS X like Mavericks so you can have use of Rosetta and it runs the PowerPC code.
    Your new Intel Mac can run Windows natively also, can dual boot both Mac and Windows, if that is of any use, for some it is.
    Right now you are not in the MacBook Pro forum! :-) This is Mac Pro sans "Book" and is not a laptop at all, but a 'trash can' or tower.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't launch on new Macbook Pro

    As if Adobe's issues with my new Mac Pro weren't enough, I can't even get Premiere Pro 2014 to launch on my 2 day old, top of the line laptop. I searched this online with no answers in the forums on either this site or Creative Cow.
    Everything is updated. Freshly installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 via the Creative Cloud App. When I launch the App, I get the initial screen with the beach ball and it never opens. My Macbook Pro's fan goes haywire, and no other apps will work (including activity monitor). I have to manually hold down the power button & force shutdown every time.
    I was going to finish up some edits at home over the weekend, but now I have to go back to the office on Sunday & work on my other troubled system. Sooooooooo over these issues with Premeire Pro. Help?

  • Old conversations are not synchronized with new MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    Yesterday I purchased the newest Retina MacBook Pro (medio 2014), upgraded to Yosemite and started installing and setting up my applications. Sadly, I seem to have a problem with iMessage, since it's not synchronizing my messages properly.
    Up until now I've been using an iPhone 3GS, a MBP (medio 2009 w. Yosemite) and an iMac (late 2012 w. Yosemite), and everything seems to work fine, since all the devices share and can access the same conversation history. However, when I started setting up iMessage on my newly purchased RMBP, the conversation history with each of my contacts isn't synchronized even though I'm able to send messages. I tried logging in/out, delete/add my iCloud account, but nothing seems to work.
    I assume all of my messages are synchronized with iCloud. Of course it would make sense if it took some time for Apple to recognize and synchronize the messages, but it's been 18 hours since I started messing with iMessage. Am I being to impatient?
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Theis

    Hi,
    It is a yes, no and maybe answer.
    You have to grab several items form the old Mac and place them in the correct places on the new Mac.
    As you seem to be using Yosemite all round that task is easier (that is a relative easier),
    See this pic
    Note the Path Bar across the bottom that list where this Archive folder is.
    It can be shortened to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Archive
    (you can type or Paste this in the Dialogue box in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder)
    In the Messages folder is also an Alias that links to the Attachments folder.  (I will come to that later)
    You also need this spot.
    This is Still in ~/Library but not in the Containers bit but just the Messages folder.
    It has the Attachments folder and the various chat.db items.
    Move the Contents of the Attachments from one computer to the new one.
    Move ALL the chat.db items (I must admit I am not sure about leaving the incompatible ones behind).
    Make an Alias of the Attachments folder and drag it to it's proper position (in the Containers/../../Library/Messages folder)  (replace the one that is there so it is linked to the moved stuff).
    Now go back to the Archive folder.  If you are using the Show Path Bar (view Menu of Finder) then you can Right Click the folder icons
    Select the Archive Folder and then Get Info on the right click.
    At the Bottom highlight your name in the list for Permissions.
    You Should have Read and Write Permissions.
    If you now use the Gogwheel type icon you can see if you Own the Folder.
    If it is greyed out like this one then you Own it.
    However you are most likely to have to "Apply to Enclosed" items as you have just moved things.
    Repeat for the Chat.db and Attachments (~/Library/Messages folder).
    And then the Alias just to be sure.
    There is not an Export option that would be simpler.

  • Bluetooth speakers won't connect with new Macbook Pro

    I just sold my Macbook Pro (mid 2012 release) and purchased the brand new lighter, faster Macbook Pro Retina display that was just released a couple of weeks ago (Mid 2014).
    There are a host of things this new Pro can't/won't do (which I didn't know upon purchasing it), but my question right now is: why won't my bluetooth speakers (which worked great with my other Macbook Pro) properly connect/work with my new one?  The bluetooth recognizes the speakers--it says they're there in the bluetooth set up--but they don't work, nor do they show up in my sound options (In my system preferences, only the internal speakers are listed as available output devices).  Why would they be visible but not able to be connected?
    Is there a fix?  Can I get my bluetooth speakers to work?  Or are these more things (along with my Apple Remote) that I have to scrap?
    Thanks!

    Me three.  Does not work at all, extremely frustrating for an educator who relies heavily on this technology

  • Installing an old version of Logic on a new Macbook Pro

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro 13" non-retina and would like to know if (and how) I can install an old version of Logic Pro, such as Logic Pro 9 rather than the latest version, which is Logic Pro X.

    It depends on which version of LP9 you own.....
    If you don't already own an earlier version you cannot buy Logic Pro 9 any longer from Apple.. It is discontinued....
    If you do own an earlier version then...
    App Store version? Just sign into the Mac App Store... using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic in the first place...and Logic Pro 9 will be found under the Purchase Tab for you to click on and download..
    DVD Version? Install via DVDs .... If you don't have a DVD player in your Mac you will need to purchase an external one.... or use another Mac which has a DVD drive using Remote Disk
    DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc
    Install....
    Do not run Logic but instead....
    Update to 9.1.8 via this link....
    Logic Pro 9.1.8
    Now launch Logic....
