Phone appears under "devices," but nothing else shows up
Hi,
I restored my 3g iPhone after having difficulty upgrading to 2.1. Now, the phone works fine, but I can't do anything with it in iTunes 8.0 (such as sync it with my old backup). The phone appears under "devices," but nothing happens when I click it there.
What do I do?
Googling for the du vs df gives a lot of links. Here is some info from ext3 FAQ (I guess it applies to ext4 too):
The standard cause for this is some user process keeping a deleted file open. When this happens, the space is not visible via 'du', since the file is no longer visible in the directory tree. However, the space is still used by the file until it is deallocated, and that can only happen once the last process which has the file open either closes its file descriptor to the file, or the process exits. You can use the lsof program to try to find which process is keeping an open file. Usually it's some log file, or some large data base file which gets rotated out, but some older process are still keeping the log file open.
This is a longer article giving some more reasons, and says that du is more accurate than df.
EDIT: But the difference is seriously huge in your case!

My IPod nano (older version) is frozen, so I can't do anything, and all of the online "help" things say that the IPod icon should appear under "Devices" but it's not, and because the IPod's frozen... What should I do???
<What's the difference between a message and a question?>Which older model iPod Nano do you have? iPod Models
Read the user manual for a solution - iPod Manuals
A question ends with a "?" mark and a message ends with a "." period. -
I have just tried to update my iphone 4 to iso 6, it got almost all the way through then froze. the only screen i get now is with the itunes icon and picture of a usb cable end. I can turn it on and off but not reboot or do anything else. Further more the computor now does not recognise the phone being connected/disconnected. Help please!

TS3274 Apple logo appears on iPad, but nothing else happens.
Earlier today, I downloaded some updated apps - about 13. I deleted a newspaper app, then did a sync. Since then, all I get on my iPad is the Apple logo. It isn't recognized in iTunes, and there is apparently no recognition of the iPad when I connect the USB to my computer. I'm running Windows7 Enterprise, and have had no problems in the nearly 3 years I've owned the tablet.
Start with this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't help, and the device is still showing the Apple Logo only and is not being recognized in iTunes, read this about restoring via recovery mode.

Trashcan appearing on desktop - but nothing else is
For some reason everything on my desktop has disappeared, except for the trashcan - and even that isn't there when I glance at the desktop using Expose.
Here's what I've tried to do to solve the problem:
-Restart Finder;
-Fix permissions using Disk Utility.
-Restart the computer.
If I navigate to the desktop using Finder, then everything is there: it just doesn't appear on the actual desktop.
Any suggestions?You are welcome, Jim - glad to help.
Preference files (plist) will occasionally (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed with default values.
Incidentally, welcome from the "dark side." Once you are here, you will never go back. I used both platforms for many years. When I spend my own money, it was always Apple. I am in double figures on Mac purchases.

Under TV Shows there used to be favorates, search and so one. for some reason, just "My TV Shows" shows up but nothing else. I can't look up top shows, look at my fav shows, or even search up shows any more. I restored my apple tv factory settings but it was still missing. Pior to doing that I pulled the power cord and reset my networks... and still noting, please help....
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes there are quite a few similar reports at the moment, I haven't experienced the problem, yet others in the UK have, so we're not quite sure what criteria determines whether you are affected by this. I haven't seen any solutions so far, so it may just be a case of waiting to see if it's repaired or whether the rest of us are going to see the same thing. -
I have a new 4g Iphone - Telstra (Australia) disabled my old 3g and enabled the 4g so the 3g is just enabled to show contacts and photos etc.
I want to download my photos and contacts from the 3g. trouble is that my internet is dial up only at home and impossible to use as too slow.
So my itunes is now out of date (not current module 10.5 + etc.) and the 3g phone is also not operating on the latest ios.
BUT the itunes does sync the phone - but it seems to only sync from computer to phone - so my camera roll on the 3g is not on my computer - therein lies the dilemma - I don't know how to download the photos. I cannot update the ios on the 3g and it seems that might be reqired to "back up"
So first question is how do I back up (not sync) my 3g to itunes.
Do I need to updates its ios first and update iteuns first (in which case thats impossible)
So what else could I do.
It seems the other thing is that even if I could back up the 3g the Itunes won't recognise the 4g as the 4g is ios 4 or something and the itunes is not up to date.
SO I thought I should just use camera wizard or a photo package like iphoto or kodak easy share.
But with camera wizard my computer recognises the 3g phone BUT nothing else. It is greyed out for options, and ini Windoes Explorer it shows it as a camera but when you right click it has no "properties" - and no files show up at all...
it is like it seems the camera and then nothing else.
THE CAMERA is not locked.
WHAT shoudl I do?also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use and I should retry.
If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy. -
I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side : -
I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?
No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

help! techo phobe online. I have an unlocked iphone 3 with an unlocked sim. i have plugged the phone into the computer to set up itunes, but it just says on the phone screen "connect to itunes" nothing else is happening/
Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
I'm sure I'm being a bit dense here but I cannot seem to transfer music of shows I have downloaded onto my iPad with my library.......it syncs app but nothing else! Help please?
Thanks for this. I also found out that all I needed to do was right click on the device and select download purchases! I new I was being dense......thanks again.

My iphone 4s got wet and shows the apple logo when charging but nothing else?
When i hold the home button in and its on charge the apple logo will appear for 5 seconds then go but nothing else, with out being connected for charge nothing happens.
It's water damaged. It is not in warranty. The warranty was voided when it got wet.
The replacement phone will inherit the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer. -
I have the apple logo on my phone but nothing else works
I have the apple logo on my phone but nothing else works, how do I turn the phone back on?
Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found. I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!
Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears. That will reboot the phone. try that.
