Updated my osx and now iphone charges but won't show up

I've tried restarting my iphone, restarting the computer, itunes, reloading itunes. I have itunes 9.0.2 (or whatever the latest is) Mac OS X 10.5.8, an iPhone 3gs with 3.0.1- and have tried with two usb cords and ports both of which are part of my macbook pro.
The iPhone charges when plugged into the computer, but is not recognized in iPhoto or iTunes. It's not jailbroken, or hacked or anything.

ended up having to reinstall itunes via parallels and get my phone recognized there, and then suddenly it worked in the mac os.
Sounds like parallels could be interfering. Have you made sure you have the latest updates for parallels? You could always uninstall parallels to test if this is causing the problem.

  • Syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

    syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

    Did you restore from backup on iTunes or did you use iCloud?
    Did you sync with iTunes? Is iTunes section for photos checked to sync all your photo locations?
    Also, with photo streaming sometimes you need to switch from Album to photo stream to see some photos.
    If your photos are on your computer still, they can be added back. if not and you depended solely on iCloud, then they may be gone.

    Yes. Check to see if the iTunes application has been moved or renamed before installing it.

  • I "updated" my phone and now half my apps won't open. What can I do?

    I "updated" my phone and since then half of my apps won't open. I was able to update some and now they open but can't get to the rest.

    Make sure you're connected to WiFi and tap the apps to continue the download.
    If that doesnt work, try re-setting the device.
    Hope this helps!

  • I tried syncing music to iphone 4s but won't show up under artist

    I put an album under each song but it still did not come up under the artist.  In my music on my phone it comes up under songs but I just wanted it under artist because no one searches through individual songs.  I checked all the boxes and sync'd 30 times, even when i hit sync my phone doesn't even say sync in progress.  this is happening with multiple artists, only been a problem since updating to ios5 and new iphone 4s.

    Don't start deleting iCloud accounts.  Do this first.
    Check that both devices are using the same account (i.e. Apple ID) under Settings > iCloud.
    Make sure that 'Calendars' is turned on in both devices in Settings > iCloud.
    Check to make sure that the event you are creating is an iCloud Calendar event, and not associated to another email account.
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars on both devices.  Make sure the default calendar is the iCloud one, and also make sure that 'Sync Events' is set to 'All Events'.
    Go to the Calendar app, tap on 'Calendars', and make sure that ALL calendars are being displayed.
    On a computer (not an iPhone or iPad), go to www.icloud.com, and log in with your Apple ID & password.  Check the Calendar to see if the events are showing there.

    You can take it to an Apple retailer and get a refurbished replacement for it.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Updated to Firefox 5, and now my Yahoo Toolbar won't show any of the buttons.

    I delayed updating to Firefox, because V3 worked so well and V4 sucked. But as a security concern, I finally made the upgrade and discovered my Yahoo Toolbar isn't working properly.
    The Toolbar is there, but the buttons I've all added are gone. I can't make changes in preferences, the toolbar is enabled... I just have no buttons.
    I've upgraded to the most recent Toolbar, which was supposed to work with Firefox 5... but it doesn't.
    Help!

    My FF6.0 was fine till it updated (automatically) and then no toolbar buttons.

  • HT4623 I updated to ios7 and now my cloud library won't work. I get the message that I need to activate my Adobe ID first

    I updated to IOS7 and the cloud library doesn't work. I get the message to activate my Adobe ID first. How do I do this?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
    Step 2
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 3
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 4
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 5
    Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

  • My external hard drive won't show up on my macbook air, and my iPhone when connected won't show up as connected in iTunes, help

    When I connect my external hard drive to my MB Air it is to recognizing it. It did 2 days ago and it is compatible I have been using it for a month now. Also when I connect my iPhone 6 to it, it won't show up in iTunes anymore......please help

    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • I run logic pro 9.1.5 in 64 bit mode on lion osx and my waves plug ins won't show up. Any suggestions?

    recenlty i purchased  the Kramer mpx master Tape plug in from waves and i try to make it work in logic but no luck.. I switch it as well in 32bit mode some plug ins from wave are showed up  but they are not operational. There are a few of them that i can load up... but the ones i really need are really not there..
    Have the logic pro 9.1.5 on lion osx and a mac pro early 2008 model...
    Any suggestion that i can every works fluently like it suppose to work?
    thanks in advance

    The crashed thread (7) mentions logic's preferences file. (com.apple.logic.pro). Drag it to the desktop (so you can reclaim you key commands if it works) and restart logic. Logic will create a new preferences file. Worth a try..

  • IPod cord charges, but won't show in iTunes.

    I'm having a really weird problem with my iPod. I'm not sure if the cord is broken or the data terminal on the iPod is. When I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't charge or show up in iTunes, but if I push at the cord upwards it'll charge, but never show in iTunes. If I push at it and hold it up it'll show in iTunes and charge as well. This happened suddenly. I never dropped the iPod nor had the cord bent at a strange angle before this. Tell me what I should do?

  • Updated to ios5 and now Iphone says "Sim not valid"

    I updated my Iphone to ios5 last night and the install went smoothly and worked fine until i went to turn it on and reactivate it after the restore. after i put in all the settings on the opening screens it went to try and activate the phone and it said "sim not valid". It says that your sim card cannot have a pin code which could be the problem but i dont think i ever set a pin code and it seems like this is a really ******** thing to get in the way. Do they ever tell you to disable your pin code during the install? I never saw anything but i was doing other stuff at the time so i was distracted. Anyone know how to fix this besides wasting more of my time by going to the nearest apple store?

    me tooo...held up with th same problem with iphone 4........sim not valid.......dunno wat to do....
