When I plug phone into laptop USB port it's unrecognized, but anything else I plug into USB works. How do I know if it's cord or phone? My cord works when plugged to wall outlet to charge.

My phone charges when it's plugged into wall just find, then I try n use cord n plug to laptop to USB port and it's unrecognized. But other thugs worked plugged into USB port so I know it's not the computer. How do I know if it's my phone or the cord itself that is the issue??

Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...

Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...

I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot. I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again.

I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

It shows on iTunes SOME of my past purchases, but not all (looks like around 30-40% of purchases).    It shows on my apple id purchase history everything i have purchased; but in iTunes, some not all of these show up.    What does show up is kind of "greyed out", so NOTHING will actually play.   I have followed the steps in the iTunes support about how to redownload past purchases, but this dowsn't work, as the download button is also "greyed out".
I am extremly angry and upset about this issue. Could someone please help / advise re how to fix????

I'm hoping that this may be just a misunderstanding somewhere.
Could you show an image showing these greyed out items?

I synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?

I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

I cannot import music I bought from another site into iTunes. The files are there but they won't import into Itunes. How can I fix this? Thanks!

What format are they in?
What happens when you try?
Have you tried placing a copy in the Automatically add to iTunes folder?

I'm logged into creative cloud, but someone else had logged into Dreamweaver, can I log them out of Dreamweaver and login using my credentials?

I'm using an iMac previously used by a past employee. It is running OS X 10.9.3. Using the CC application, I have logged out of his account and into my own. When using other applications such as Photoshop and After Effects, my account is the one displayed in the menu. When I use Dreamweaver however, the past employee's account is displayed in the menu, and when a sync is attempted, it displays his account info.
Is there a way to use my own credentials to log into Dreamweaver separately from the CC app, or to force a sync between the CC app login and the Dreamweaver login?
Thanks

I meet a lot of 3G signal when a call signal disappears 3G! I read the manuals and anything I find the problem! I do so with other brands and other cell does not, the same goes when I receive a call!

Who is your carrier? Are you actually on 3G?
Do you have 3G turned on or off? Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G

TS1389 When I go to play a movie, I get prompted that the original file cannot be found. When I do a search on spotlight it cannot be found, but it does appear in my purchases. How do I re-download when it does not appear that it is allowed?

Hello paddyrb154,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased movie in iTunes on your iMac. It sounds like iTunes thinks the movie is on your computer, but it is not located in the iTunes Media folder.
For an issue like this, I recommend deleting the movie from iTunes and downloading it from the iTunes Store again. Use these steps to delete the movie:
Mac or PC
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
Click Movies in the navigation bar.
Click the movie you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

Once you have deleted the movie, you can click on the cloud icon to download the movie again. If you do not see the cloud icon, use the steps in the section titled “Download previous purchases on Mac or PC ” in the following article to download the movie from your list of past purchases in the iTunes Store:

Using USB Wall Outlet to Charge iPad

I was wondering if any harm can be cause by using a reputable brand USB wall charger. In other words, instead of using the 10 watt Apple charging brick with the lightening cable, using the lightening cable and plugging it directly into the USB wall charger (i.e., bypassing the Apple charging brick). It seems like it may charge faster using the wall outlet directly, but wouldn't want to risk charing the iPad in this manner if potential harm could be cause.

You should have no issue if you stick with reputable company like Skydiver119 mentions. Also, be sure that the aftermarket charger is rated for the same output (look at the watts ratings here) as the Apple charger or higher.
It's also worth noting that using an aftermarket charger of the same wattage output as the Apple charger likely will not charge the device any faster or slower. Certainly not anything you'd notice.
Also, moving to a higher wattage charger (10 watt vs 12 watt) is fine but don't expect any noticeable vast increase in charging speed...I supposed you'd notice if you did a timed test between the two but otherwise, don't expect miracles.

I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

The backups for your version are date-time stamped as the name and with an extension of .fcpproject. They look like this.
The original project is named CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
You need to replace the CurrentVersion with the backup file and rename it to be CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
With FCPX closed, I suggest you move the original to the Trash, but not empty it. Then promote your backup one level higher in the project folder hierarchy (to be at the same level that the original previously occupied. Then rename the backup.
Open up FCPX, which should now recognize your project.

For some users, it can take several attempts to get into recovery mode.
