Problem Synching Iphone 4S to MacBook Pro. Also can't synch Itunes Library to iPhone.

I have a problem Syncing my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro......when I click sync iPhone nothing happens. When it's plugged in it asks me if I want to upoad photos from my phone to my MacBook Pro, so it does recoginise that my iphone is connected. Other than that there is no recognition ie on Finder that the phone is attached.
Nor can I sync iTunes Library to iPhone. I have however successfully synced the iTunes library to my Ipod, so it seems to be an issue my iPhone?
Any suggestions , help greatly appreciated

You'll have to purchase 3rd party software if you want to extract them directly from the phone. That or e-mail them to yourself, or set up a new shared photo stream and put the photos you want in that.
The phone is not a backup device. Since the photos came from your computer to begin with, you should have a backup of them in your backup of the computer.
You may want to seriously think about investing in an internal hard drive and turning on Time Machine.

  • The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule also died!) but have all my songs on my iPhone.  How can I copy them to my laptop?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

    I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

    To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
    As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.

  • IPhone with new MacBook Pro - phone not recognized by iTunes

    So, I got a new MacBook Pro and connected my iPhone to sync it with iTunes. But the iPhone isn't being recognized.
    Anyone know what steps to take to get it to recognize the phone to sync? There are no error messages. Just a phone that doesn't seem to want to sync.
    I checked the phone by plugging it into another lap top, and it gets recognized right away, so I'm thinking it's related to the latest iTunes or the MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    Went to the Genius Bar, The tech decised it was a bad logic board. I got a new computer to replace a week old one. After going through setting it up again, I have the same issue. System Profiler sees that an iPhone is connected, but not iTunes. I can not sync to the new MBP. At the moment, I am syncing to my old MBP, just so I have the iPhone set up as I had it.
    BTW, if you go through the "iTunes does not see iPhone" suggestions and enter DFU (restore mode) your iPhone gets bricked. But it is recoverable by using a different computer. I am currently trying a NEW install of the OS on the i7, but I suspect a hardware/driver interaction problem. I have no hopes until 10.6.4 arrives in a month or so.

  • How to download music purchased with my iPhone to my macbook pro, how to download music purchased with my iPhone to my macbook pro

    I purchased a bunch of songs with my iPhone 3GS, but I ended up breaking it without having synced may 20+ songs I'd purchased.  I haven't been able to figure out how to re-download those songs onto my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.6.8).  I can't use iCloud because my OS version isn't compatible.  Anyone know what I need to do?

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • Gmail is not syncing on my iPhone 6 or macbook pro

    Gmail is not "loading" or "syncing" on my iPhone 6 or macbook pro
    I can access gmail through safari and I receive email from my other email accounts (that are not gmail)
    Internet connection is good
    I have reset, rebooted, deleted, the gmail account from both the macbook pro and iPhone, then added them back I've also reset the gmail password several times.
    Suggestions?

    I tried a few times like most of the users on this post without any luck syncing Iphone 6 IOS 8.1.2 with an old exchange server 2003 but now I sync EVERYTHING without any problems, and this steps are for my friends in the airport IT group (They know who they are, I appreciate their help always).
    BE SURE THAT EXCHANGE HAS IMAP4 up and running.
    The steps to configure:
    1. Delete any exchange account configured previously.
    2. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts and Calendar>Add Account>Exchange and add [email protected] and Password then Next.
    At first It wont find anything and goes to next screen where asks for
    3. Server: mail.domain.com, Leave domain is optional, Your User: user, Your Password: password. *****Then It says impossible to verify account***** but now you have the SAVE option. Touch on SAVE.
    4. ON on everything you want to SYNC and touch SAVE again.
    5. It says account added but now you have to reconfigure. NOW it appears the name EXCHANGE on Account inside Settings>Mail,Contacts and Calendar
    6. Touch on it and on the Exchange menu touch on Account>Advanced Settings> Here TURN OFF SSL. Then return back to ACCOUNT and OK. You are supposed to see the check marks on all boxes the Voilá Exchange is UP. If not RESTART your iphone. Tricky but it worked for me, hope work for you guys.

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

    How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
