Pc companion refuses to see my phone

So, using pc-companion, I try to connect to my phone. Of course this doesn't work when it's already plugged in, so I disconnect and reconnect like a mad man, wearing out the tiny usb-connector like there's no tomorrow. And still it won't see my phone. The farthest I get is pc-companion saying it needs to be updated, but of course, it then says it's already at the newest version.Lather, rinse, repeat. But no connection.Between the short battery time, the annoying audio bug, the immensely crappy firmware, even crappier software and non-existent support I'm pretty sure this was my first and last sony phone. Thanks for taking my money and delivering nothing.

try donloading Sony Update Service http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/or manually install driversXperia™ P, Xperia™ U, and Xperia™ sola drivers (8 MB)

How can I see my phone on my laptop?

How can I see my phone on my laptop?

Once you connect the two, your phone will show up as a new removable hard drive. Just open up your computer and look for a new letter. By the way, once you are hooked up, you will not be able to see anything on your SD card.
Whether you can use/see the SD card depends on the phone and on the chosen USB connect mode. On some phones you will see two "drives", one the SD card, the other the internal storage used by the phone for apps.

Leopard refuses to "see" iPhoto, even when it's running.

I'm having an iPhoto problem with Leopard that is different than the ones I was able to find so far. I did an upgrade install from OS 10.4 and had iPhoto 6.0.6 installed. After upgrading, iPhoto is still there, it still runs and my photos are all fine.
BUT, the features in Leopard that are supposed to use iPhoto refuse to see my library!
- In Mail.app, when I try to open the Photo Browser while composing a message and select iPhoto, it gives me a message saying "Open iPhoto 5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list."
- In Preferences > Screen saver, when I choose Pictures Folder and Mosaic, the preview window says "You must have an iPhoto library to run the mosaic screen saver."
- In iTunes, when I tell it to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my 5g iPod, I get an error upon syncing that says "The iPod 'Icarus' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)", but it syncs fine if I tell it to sync pictures from a folder instead.
- In iChat, the "Share iPhoto with iChat Theater" option is always greyed out, but I can share photos from folders.
These problems occur regardless of if iPhoto is open or closed. I have about 270 photos in my library. The files are located in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library. The only iPhoto plugin I have installed is the Picasa Web Albums uploader.
Any ideas?

I decided to install iLife '08 and updated iPhoto to 7.0. After doing that, it resolved all of those problems, but the error messages I previously had indicate that iPhoto versions below that should work.

I have an iPhone 4. I tried updating it tonight to iOS7 through my just updated iTunes. I received an error message telling me the update couldn't be completed. My phone then went to the screen asking me to connect to iTunes which can't see my phone. Help

ITunes refuses to 'see' external drive

All my tunes are on an external LaCie 120GB mobile HDD as they have been for a couple of years and all has worked well. Now for some reason iTunes refuses to 'see' the iTunes Folder on this drive it doesn't even seem to see the drive at all. The drive is fine as I can double click a tune from it from the finder and it plays it in iTunes ok.
iTunes also recognises an interacts properly with my wife's iPod.
I have checked and rechecked that the iTunes/Prefs/advanced/iTunes music folder location is set to the HDD folder.
Is this a problem with the latest iTunes version?

I have stopped, started, uninstalled, reinstalled, used msconfig to stop all other processes, changed drive letter, shut down, reboot, restart with IPot connected, restart with IPot disconnected... nothing on the Apple page has been of any help. Could it be something to do with low power USB v/s high power USB? All thought I don't buy that either. My wife has an IBM T42 and it works no problems, mine IBM T43, does not work. Other USB devises do work on my T43??? Hense the point of this thread.

Broken iMac G5 refuses to see internal HD

I have an iMac G5 1.8ghz that refuses to see the internal HD, i can boot from CD, like techtool or OS X disk and it works fine - but then when we look for any sort of HD, nothing is listed.
I have tried putting my old G4 powermac into target mode and boot off firewire but I get the 'prohibitory sign', is this because the powermac is running 10.4.8 and the imac was only running 10.3?, does the iMac need a firmware update?.
I have tried a new SATA drive internally and the system still refuses to see it, and the original one tests fine on other systems.
any help appreciated.

"i can boot from CD, like techtool"
Which one, Deluxe or Pro? If Pro which program did you run off of it?
Check to see if your computer qualifies for the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues

Interface Builder refuses to see "@2x" image files

I'm making some apps with support for all three major iOS platforms: iPhone&Co, iPhone4 and iPad. This support means, naturally, having larger-resolution images for the latter two platforms. Currently I'm making the apps universal, so the same app will run in all of them.
Since most of the double-resolution images of the iPhone4 version of the app can be used as-is in the iPad version (only things like background images have to be made separately for all three types of platform due to differing screen resolutions; the rest can be done with simply laying out the elements appropriately in the iPad as compared to the iPhone4, using the same element images for both), it would be a huge waste of space to make separate images for the iPhone4 and the iPad, when these images would be completely identical. Thus it only makes sense to reuse the same "@2x" images of the iPhone4 on the iPad version of the app.
This worked nicely for a while. However, at some point quite suddenly (I don't really know what happened), Interface Builder started to completely refuse to see any image files with a "@2x" in their name. It won't show them on the drop-down menu where you select an image (eg. for an UIImageView or UIButton), and if you write it manually, it will refuse to show it (only showing the question mark image symbolizing a missing image file). The image will show ok when running the app, but IB simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of such images. If I rename the image such that I remove the "@2x", then IB will accept it, but not if it has those characters.
As said, IB did see the "@2x" images at some point, but for some reason now it doesn't. (This is a bit of a mystery because I don't remember this happening after any kind of SDK upgrade or anything.)
This tells me that this is either 1) a bug in IB, or 2) intentional behavior, and the "@2x" images should not be "abused" in this way to create an iPad version of the app properly.
If hypothesis 2 is correct, then what is the proper way of using the same images in both the iPhone4 and iPad versions of the app? Duplicating the image files would be an enormous waste of space (the apps are quite graphics-heavy).
One "kludge" that comes to mind would be to create soft links for the images so that the iPad versions of the image files would just be soft links to the @2x iPhone4 images. However, I don't know if the bundling mechanism of the iPhone SDK supports soft links, or if it will simply make copies of the images (in which case each such image will end up being stored twice in the bundle).

I guess I don't understand why you want a solution when you've found one already.
Just use ".2x" or "-2x" or whatever.
Report the bug, use your workaround and move on.

I have done that and it is through pressing that update, which tells me that there is anew version of iphone software, that the prompt comes telling me that this is the current itunes?

I was trying to update and sync my iphone 4, the process stopped, now the phone does not work and itunes appears not to "see" the phone? suggestions?

I was trying to sync and update my phone with ITunes, about 5 minutes into the process everything stopped. Now the phone does not work, it will not turn on or off, the screen of the phone shows the Apple Logo and a straight line. ITunes seems to not "see" the phone. Suggestions??

Desktop Manager just refuses to see 8820.

Talk about frustration. I never had any issues with my Treo 650 regarding this. But what bothers me the most, is my BB 8820 used to work fine. I don't know what changed.
Here is my log file from reading the forums, and the things I've tried:
I have a Blackberry 8820. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit edition. I have turned the UAC in Vista OFF because it drives me crazy.
I cannot get the Desktop Manager to see my BB.
The Blackberry shows up in the Device Manager, so no issues there. It is recognized and installs just fine.
The Desktop software installs just fine. I am running version 4.7. I ran the installation using "Run as Admin". I did not install Media version.
I had to manually uninstall the software initially, by deleting the Research In Motion folder, and then using Regedit to delete all "blackberry" and "Research In Motion" entries. Once I did all this, the software no longer showed up in "Programs and Features".
I reinstalled a fresh copy of 4.7. It would not see my BB. I rebooted, and it still does not see my BB.
I have tried the method of removing the battery and replacing it and it does not see my BB.
I have tried different USB cables to no avail.
Since I am on a laptop, I have made sure that all USB ROOT Hub Properties are not set to "turn off this device to save power".
I had my Blackberry working on this laptop before.
After all this, I tried to uninstall my 4.7 Desktop Manager, and I get the error "Error 2738.Could not access VBScript run time for custom action." Ok, so I Googled this, and I had to go to my Windows\system32 folder using command prompt and type regsvr32 vbscript.dll to register that. This fixed the problem and I was able to uninstall the software.
I always installed the desktop manager without the Blackberry being connected to the computer.
I disabled any Anti Virus software, just in case. I removed the SD card from the phone, just in case.
Something weird goes on. Each time I run the Desktop Manager, if I click on OPTIONS and then set connection type to USB, it's starts running an install. It does this like 3 to 4 times. Well.... finally my BlackBerry came up. Then I went to option to change something else, and that stupid installation window popped up AGAIN. Now it doesn't see my BB.
I decided to bag all this and figured I would try the BlueTooth. I can pair the device with absolutely NO problem to my laptop. My laptop finds the phone quickly and works just fine. Then when I try to set the Desktop Manager to use Bluetooth, it won't just use what has connected to the laptop, it has to go out and search for a bluetooth device. It never finds my phone and NEVER quits searching.
UPDATE: Ok, so I uninstalled the 3rd party bluetooth drivers and I am only running the Microsoft Vista plain vanilla drivers. Didn't make a different though, as the bluetooth STILL doesn't see my phone. Yet my laptop see's and pairs with the phone via bluetooth just fine.
UPDATE #2: Ok, so I created a new Windows Login. I had installed the blackberry Desktop Manager for ALL users. I created a TEST login account for windows. So, once logged into this new account, it see's the BlackBerry just fine with the USB cable. The BlueTooth still doesn't work, but it see's the Blackberry right away. Whereas when I log into my regular account, I keep getting this annoying installation windows that says "Please wait while Windows configures Blackberry Desktop Software".
Please, if you see anything that I overlooked, let me know.
Thanks!

Have you turned off the PC, and rebooted .
Same for the BlackBerry, except With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

On Win 7 64 bit, Firefox 7, 8 and Nightly all refuse to see Flash. I have uninstalled, installed Flash 11 several times and FF just doesn't see Flash. Anyone got a fix?

On Win 7 64 bit, Firefox 7, 8 and Nightly all refuse to see Flash. I have uninstalled, installed Flash 11 several times.

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Here's why:
The iPhone 4S does not support 4G. Only the iPhone 5 does (of Apple's iPhones).
