When I connect my iphone to my Mac it does not appear in itunes and wont sync.
When I connect my iphone to my Mac the iphoto app opens and nothing else happens!
When I open Itunes (or even finder) the phone is not recognized at all and does not appear.
I can't sync anything.
Help!
I've just done this.
One user suggested restarting the iphone in recovery mode. I have just tried this and have got an error message - "The iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1611).
My phone won't work at all now.
Help please!

I have iPod Classic in Disk Mode and what do I do next cause it's not showing up in iTunes?
Does the iPod appear on your desktop as an external hard drive? Has the iPod ever successfully connected before? Disconnect your iPod and reset it using the Select (Center) and Menu button combo. Then reboot your Mac, open iTunes, and reconnect your iPod to a high powered USB 2.0 port and see if it's recognized.
Have you worked through all the troubleshooting here?

I'm new to this and I think I typed a long heading!
Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.

I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?
Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery. I can go back to the IStudio here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be. Thanks for all the help so far. God bless. -

IPod nano does not appear in iTunes AND Mac computer - AND does NOT load
My nano worked out just fine for a month until one day - when I wanted to charge the battery - it just did not appear in iTunes, nor on my desktop. I tried the 5 Rs, but can't restore, of course, because my mac does not recognize the nano. As soon as I plug in the nano to my mac, it is stuck on "Do not disconnect" and does not charge. I'm tired of resetting and plugging the USB cable in and out. Please, help!
What else can I do? Does it make sense to send my nano back and have it inspected? Does Apple charge for technical support?
I'm thankful for any kind of reply.
iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)me again.. hey did you guys work out how to get around it at all? I'd so love some adivce. I think i'm going crazy ay. I've also tried all the things mentioned in the above link given by another member..with no luck. May be its possible that there's not enough space on my computers hard drive to recognise the ipod???? Plus when i did originally download the software from out of the box, it didn't allow me to select where i wanted to put this software and just said it was putting it on my hard-drive anyway. I would of liked to have positioned it somewhere, so i knew where to find it and too make sure it was all there n ok.
I look forward to hearing form ANYONE with some tips :o)
Thanks again

My iphone 4 does not respond to itunes and wont turn on
Just got an iphone 4 2 weeks ago, after doing the iOS 5 update on thursday my phone was fine. but on friday i turned my phone off while at work came to lunchtime and i couldnt turn it on, luckily had my charger in my bag plugged it in and the phone came on again and it was fine apart from for the first few seconds it was tellin me the wrong time and date (jan 1st at 1:00am) but returned back to normal time zones at half 5 my phone was still on and working to send texts etc, came to 6 oclock and it was off agian powered up once again by using charger after 5 minutes it went off again wouldn't come back on. when i got home i charged it for a while before i went to bed and it was fine then after been in use for around 5 minutes without the charger. so i plugged the charger in again to try turning it on its now telling me activation required, then connect to itunes. i give up and go to bed then yesterday (saturday) i turn it on again using charger and its teling me connect to itunes but as soon as i unplug from wall charger it goes off again and when i plug into my laptop it doesnt respond or turn on atall.
Ive tried holding on/off and circle button at same time and that doesnt work and also tried the DFU thing to restore it, it recogised the ipod then came up with an unknown error occured (1602)
Any ideas on something else to try?Has it ever gotten wet?.. I'd make an appointment with Genius bar at an Apple store, there's something majorly wrong that a simple 'reset' isn't going to fix...
Sorry... -
How could I import the photos I took in iPhone into Aperture 3? I see nothing when I connect my iPhone to my Mac..
iPhoto isn't working neither..I see nothing when I connect my iPhone to my Mac.
Does your Mac not recognize the device? Or is the iPhone recognized, but the import panel does not show any images to import? Is your Photo Stream turned on?
There is a known bug with PhotoStream and AP 3.2.1.
Do you have the current Aperture version 3.2.2? If not, upgrade to 3.2.2.

Why my itunes does not launch when i connect my iphone to my mac air?
why does my iTunes not open automatically when i connect my iphone to my Mac Air?
OK ... I'm going to answer my own question. I checked the box in iTunes PREFS "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" then went back to the DEVICES screen, iPhone summary, then unplugged the iPhone, and then back to iTunes PREFS and re-checked that box, then quit iTunes. Then I plugged the iPhone back into the computer and Voila! iTunes opens and syncs! Why? Who knows?
This did NOT SOLVE the problem of wireless backup ... still not working ... whether iTunes is open or not. -
