when i try to put my app from itunes to my iphone5 it will show on the desktop but its not on my phone

Do you see an error message when trying to sync the apps to the iPhone?
All you have to do is connect the iPhone to the computer, click apps above the picture of the iPhone in iTunes, choose Apps, and then select the apps that you want to sync.
See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes

IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

Any ideas?

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

3G iPod Shows up on Desktop but not in iTunes

I am having the same problem with my 3G iPod. It has been working flawlessly for many years but I tried to mount it and update my songs and it will show up on the desktop but not in iTunes. It does show up in the system profiler. I reset the iPod via the updater and keypresses. I trashed the plist files for the iPod and iTunes. Still nothing. I switched my firewire cables to different ports. Nothing.
What was strange was that Yami-pod does not see it as an iPod either so it is not just iTunes.
My iPod shuffle works just fine and mounts right away in iTunes.
This is on my eMac where I store my music. I have not tested it yet with the Macbook.

I tried hooking the iPod to the MacBook and it worked like a charm. I then moved the iPod back to the eMac and I still had the same problem. At my whits end I decided to zap the PRAM with the Command-Option-P-R trick and to my surprise the iPod launched iTunes and started syncing when I restarted the eMac.
I had no reason to think that there could be a problem with the PRAM as I did not have any other problems but it does seem to have been the problem.

Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro. I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any. The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The number pad would not let me type in a 1 2 3 for my 4 digit code. After numerous tries, the phone now says iphone disabled connect to itunes. When I connected to itunes, it asked for the code which I was unable to enter. Help!

Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

NANO SHOWS UP IN DESKTOP BUT NOT IN ITUNES

I have a Mac OS X computer. When I plug in my iPod nano to the computer, it shows up on the desktop, but it will NOT show up in iTunes!!

If you use USB instead of FireWire to connect, it won't appear in iTunes unless you update to Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later. If you can't update your software, then use FireWire instead. Note: iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod (5th generation), and iPod classic can only sync via USB.

TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library. Also, I can't add new files.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them. Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library. It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine. I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

Help- Shuffle shows up on desktop, but not in iTunes

So i guess i am luckier than some that it shows up at all, but it would be nice if it could show up in itunes. I also have a problem with the connection (usb) as it seems to disconnect itself without any movement. Any help would be much appreciated- Thanks, Andrew
ps- i have a 1gig shuffle, ibook dual usb, osx 10.2.8
and i got the ipod off ebay (am i screwed?)

I guess it turns out that upon attempting to register my iPod Shuffle, Apple says that I have a counterfeit item. Here's their reply to my registration:
"We regret to inform you that the serial number you have cited is recognized by our registration system as having the same format as a known series of counterfeit iPods. Please look closely to be certain that you have cited the serial number correctly. If not, please let us know the correct serial number of your product.
Due to the incredible success of the iPod family of digital music players, a number of counterfeit devices have appeared on the market. Although they may bear Apple's name or logo, they are not manufactured or licensed by Apple.
We would very much appreciate if you could send us a digital photo of your device by email.
You should make a reservation and take your iPod to an Apple Store retail location to have it inspected at the Genius Bar, for the purpose of determining whether or not it is, in fact, a counterfeit product. To locate the nearest Apple Store and to make a reservation to see the Mac Genius, please visit <http://www.apple.com/retail>. If the Apple Store personnel conclude that the iPod is counterfeit, Apple will be unable to provide any kind of service or support for the product.
Apple does not provide service or support for non-Apple products. We also suggest that you consult the vendor or reseller from which you obtained the product.
Best regards,
Apple Online Services Support
Oh well, I guess I'm off the the Dispute Center of my paypal since this eBay seller used all the advertisement bearing Apple licenced product.

When I connect a usb is shows on the desktop but not in finder (it used to) so I cannot export photos any suggestions
