Since updating to 10.6, Powerbook disables iphone and won't sync

Just as I wrote in the headline, since updating my OS, when I plug in my iphone to sync music purchases and playlists, I get the error;
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power, one or more of your USB devices have been disables."
Here's the rub, the only device connected was the iphone. The laptop was even plugged in at the time. Restarting both devices didn't yield a different result.
Little help?

Just to add to the mystery, I plugged the iphone into my old G5 running 10.5.8 and got the same message. Does this mean my iphone is malfuntioning? It's an older G3 iphone...maybe it's gone senile. My last successful sync/update was about two weeks ago.

  • Since updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S...

    Since updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S my iPod app runs very slow and crashes a lot. Once playing I can switch songs and what not with little difficulty, but if I go back to the list of songs/artists/etc it freezes or force quits. I don't know what to do as this is the only problem I've had. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Arianelleangel,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If you are having issues trying to update your Aunt's iPad, the troubleshooting steps below may help:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
    Update does not complete
    If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
    When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
    If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
    I hope this information helps ....
    - Judy

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • I can't update my apps on both my iPhone and ipad

    I can't update my apps on both my iPhone and iiPad

    Unless you can provide more details about the problem, here are a bunch of things that you can try. They may not apply to your situation, but we have no way of knowing what that is, because you didn't provide specifics.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • IPhone 4 won't sync to iTunes on iMac

    Recently my iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes on my iMac. When I connect my iPhone iTunes recognizes it and I'm able to click the sync button. It goes the the sync steps, but at the end it says it can't sync becasue my iPhone is not connected to iTunes even though it is.
    My iPhone, iMac and iTunes have the latest software updates.  I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
    I've tried rebooting both my iPhone and iMac, but it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    I'm only asking this because I just got my phone unlocked, and the service provider suggested that I restore my iPhone by syncing it with Itunes.......but maybe I don't have to restore my phone?  Anyone with advice/suggestions?

  • My iPhone 5 won't sync with the Nike Plus sensor

    My iPhone 5 won't sync with Ike Plus sensor, new or old.

    Hello bfelix,
    You may need to switch 'Nike + iPod' off in your Settings, then re-enabling it. Make sure that the sensor is not in sleep mode (which can be corrected by pressing the small button on the side opposite the Nike and Apple logos). Depending on the age of the sensor, however, the battery may be depleted.
    Make sure you have the latest version of... iPhone... software and iTunes installed.
    Make sure the sensor is not in sleep mode by using a pen or stylus to press the Sleep/Wake button on your sensor once to wake it up.
    On your home screen, tap Settings.
    Scroll down and tap the Nike + iPod option.
    Disable the Nike + iPod feature and then re-enable it by tapping the On/Off button at the top of the page.
    Place the sensor back in the shoe and walk around to activate the sensor as you attempt to relink it to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS.
    If the issue persists and you have access to another sensor, link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS. If you can link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone, take in your first sensor for service.

    Nike + iPod: About the sensor battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1400
    The Nike + iPod Sensor's battery is not replaceable or rechargeable and has a life of over a thousand active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power-management system, allowing the sensor to consume power only when active (that is, when it senses motion).
    Cheers,

  • HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar.  Has any one else seen this?

    Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook.  Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?  I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history.  Also re-downloaded Itunes again.  Same problem.

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

  • IPhone 4s won't Sync

    My iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
    I have:
    Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
    I just updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
    I also just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 10.6.3
    I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
    Do I really have to update my Mac OS (to 10.6.8 or 10.7) in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
    Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
    thanks

    Its telling me it cannot read or find the podcasts I'm trying to sync. I can hear them through my computer though.

    My suggestion, try syncing with sync music turned off. If that doesn't work, try syncing in a new User Page on your mac.
