Why does my computer not recognize my iphone?

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my iPhone 4. The iPhone is making the beeping sound as it is plugged in, but iTunes does not show it on the left side panel and it is not showing up on the desktop. I have tried using a different cord (the one to another ipod), but it did not solve the problem. The cord I'm using has worked fine to charge it to the wall. Is there a setting in iTunes that I need to adjust in order for it to recognize or do I need to make an appointment at the Apple store to have them look at the iPhone? I bought the iPhone new just two days ago, so it shouldn't have any problems (ha), and otherwise it has been working just great.
Any tips or suggestions? I would appreciate any help I can get!

  • I have a Iphone 42 and want to transfer my photos to my PC why does my computer not recognise the Iphone when I connect it to the pc?

    Can any help. I want to transfer photos on my Iphone 4s to my PC, my computer will not recognise the phone when I connect via the USB port to the PC.  Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Do you get any response from the computer when you plug the phone in? I'm guessing that you are going into Computer to see if you find the phone? If you go into Device Manager, do you see any errors in the USB area?
    See this support document and pay particular attention to step 5 regarding drivers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Why does elements 11 not recognize nikon nef files

    I have been using Elements 11 for quite a while for Canon Raw files with great success. It really works fine for me.
    I recently bought a Nikon D300. For some reason Elements 11 will not recognize the Nikon NEF raw files.
    W H Y ? ? ?

    Thank you for your reply.
    Answers to your questions:
    I am using Win7 64 bit. Elements 11 has worked just fine until I attempted to process NEF files.
    I always copy files to my HD before trying to process any.
    How do I check to see if my Camera Raw module is current? EVERY time, regardless of day of the week or time of day, when do the Help/Update thing I ALWAYS  get that message block about website is busy, try again. I'll bet I've tried it over a hundred times over the past two weeks or so. I have a feeling that it can't be that busy for that long. Or, maybe I'm just unlucky, or maybe your server is too small to handle the load.
    Needless to say, I am really frustrated with Adobe.
    Again, thank you for your reply, and hopefully my answers will provide a solution.
    Regards,

  • Why does my bank not recognize my computer every time I log on, and this only occurs when I log on with Firefox not other browsers

    I log on to by bank and firefox remembers my account #, but when the next screen pops up the bank does not recognize my computer. Each time after answering the correct security question ,I check the box to remember this as a personal computer but it never does. This only happens when I use Firefox, not other browsers. The other browsers remember the acct and that it is a personal computer.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    We hope to hear from you soon.
    I would not recommend storing any bank information on your computer, for various security issues.

  • Why does my iMac not recognize my iPod nano?

    I recently purchased an iPod nano, with the touch screen, for my wife. Obviously she wanted to immediately connect it to our iMac 27" and transfer her music files. But the iMac does not recognize the iPod, whatever we try. It does not turn up in iTunes, the Finder or System report, and it does not charge. The really strange thing is that the computer has no problems with my HTC Wildfire, running Android. It also has no problems with flashdrives, our portable hard drive or printer. Only the iPod. So much for the "Im a mac and I always work.. diddely."
    I have tried the following:
    Reset the iPod nano by holding the power button until the grey apple appeares
    Restore the iPod nano from a PC running Windows XP (Which had no problems recognizing the device by the way)
    Tried to connect with two different cables (Wich again both worked well with on the PC)
    Updated iTunes to the newest version
    Ugraded from Snow to Lion
    Reset PRAM, NVRAM and SMC
    Shouting
    None of those has made any difference. What should I do next?
    My Mac is a iMac 27", produced in 2009, 3,06 GHz Intel core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Ram S/N: W80031TH5PE. Running MacOS X 10.7.2
    The iPod is a nano, latest generation with the touch screen, Model no: A1366 EMC No: 2385. S/N: DCYFX08WDDW2

    Reformatting will wipe out everything you synced to it.  Check out the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide  for reformatting instructions and other troubleshooting suggestions if you have not already done so.
    Suggest that you do a search through  Knowledge Base
    Read the postings listed in the "More Like This" column over here:  ---------------->
    If you are still having problems after doing the above and in view of Apple Stores not replacing and/or charging you for repairs, strongly suggest that you call Apple Customer Relations @ 1-800-767-2775.  Explain to them exactly what you stated in your postings.
    Good luck!

    You have to try a different USB port on your computer if you have one. Hardware problem cannot be solved here in this forum.

  • Why does PS 7 not recognize Adobe RGB files?

    I have an Olympus E-620 DSLR. When I set the color space in the camera to sRGB, after downloading the images, when I click to open them in Photoshop 7, the images are properly identified as sRGB files. When I set the color space in the camera to Adobe RGB, Photoshop does not recognize the format. Please see the picture below.
    Question 1: Why does Photoshop not recognize the Adobe RGB files?
    Question 2: What can I do to make Photoshop recognize Adobe RGB files?
    Question 3: If I assign in Photoshop the Adobe RGB profile to an unrecognized Adobe RGB file, does that even make any sense? Is the "extra data" that Adobe RGB offers compared to sRB even there even if the profile is not recognized in the first place?
    I am very grateful for any comments and advice!

    Buko. wrote:
    Are you saying that the file is really AdobeRGB and because PS7 is so old its defaulting to sRGB? which is why you are assigning?
    Yes...if the file name starts with an underscore _IMG12345 then the image is indeed in Adobe RGB. It's a failure and limitation of the EXIF spec that only allows for two different EXIF tags relating to color space...either sRGB or "unspecified".
    Since the camera makers wanted to offer Adobe RGB as a color space choice in camera JPEGs, the underscore was the ONLY way to say whether a file was in sRGB or Adobe RGB. Note that camera JPEGs do NOT have an embedded profiles, just the EXIF tag. And yes, Photoshop 7 is/was too old to understand the Adobe RGB underscore color space.
    A lot of stuff has changed (sometimes radically) since that piece of software was released...heck, there wasn't even a Camera Raw until about 9 months AFTER Photoshop 7 was released. Camera Raw 1.0 was released Feb. 19th, 2003, Photoshop 7 was released about April 2002.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Why does my computer not connect to the internet but other devices do

    I have a mac book pro, and it has not been connecting to the internet lately.  I also have an iPhone as well as other devices that do connect to the internet.  Why is this? Is there anything I can do to reset the internet settings on my computer, or some other solution to fix this?  I am guessing th problm is not my internet, because the other devices connect.

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the router? You may not have access to router.
    2. Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Try adding your SSID and Password manually

  • Why does my computer not like the new version of FF V31.00?

    It started about a 7-10 days ago. I was alerted that a New Version of FF v31 was available to download. So I d/l
    installed it and blankety blank software would not properly. Sometimes it would load the FF Browser but any attempt to go between websites would take forever. Sometimes all I would get is a single tab showing and the
    windows 7 Aero icon would spin itself silly. I would try to put it in safe mode but the same results as above. Finally after losing several buckets of sweat I read that my Anti-Virus software could be blocking FF. I thought why would it stop blocking this version when it had allowed previous versions w/o problems. I go to software rules and change it from auto to allow. I re-installed the v31.00 and it worked........... for 3days.
    Today, It started acting up again. This time I would be reading a webpage and the mouse would not scroll or I would attempt to exit out a tab. No go. So I exit out of FF and tried to go back in. FF resorted back to my first experience. I went back to look if Norton 360 had changed the rules on me AGAIN. No everything was like it was before. I have now re-installed it 3 times today. Finally after re-installing for a 4th time I hit restart FF and everything is back to normal. I was under the impression when I hit restart I would lose all my profile settings(Bookmarks)/ But everything is back to normal..........for the time being. I have never had this much problems before. If it was a virus why would IE work like a champ but not FF.
    Anyway I pray A FF expert can lead me down the paths of righteouness sake.

  • Why does LR 4 not recognize Sigma lenses (NEX 7) automatically in Develo module for lens corrections

    In Lightroom 4.6,  "enabling lens profile" in the Develop module works perfectly for Sony lenses with NEX ARW files (NEX 7).
    When i use Sigma lenses instead, nothing happens although "enable  profile corrections " is ticked, no matter what is set next: auto, custom, or default....
    I am getting tired to always have to fill in the 3 Lens Profile questions (but only for Sigma lenses) with 1: Sigma, then 2: search the lens in Lightroom's long Sigma list and click, and finally 3: hope it takes.
    I am assuming that Lightroom reads the Metadata (where the Sigma and Sony lenses are fully described, I have checked!), but does not cooperate with Sigma, while Sony lenses work so well.
    Why is that so and how can I get the proper lens profile automatically if the lens does have its own Adobe profile loaded?
    Frustrated ...

    Why is that so and how can I get the proper lens profile automatically if the lens does have its own Adobe profile loaded?

    Pick the correct lens manually then choose 'Save New Lens Profile Defaults' from Setup drop down menu. Lr should remember the lens and use it as the default in future. See screenshot below

  • Why does ACR CC not recognize QPcalibration from Nikon D810

    I used to make color calibrations with a QP Card 203:
    1) Take a picture of the QPcard in the actual light with f.ex. Nikon D300S,
    2) use QPcalibration to create a named colorprofile,
    3) wich shows in CameraRaw 8.7.1 Camera Clibration in CameraProfile dropdown list and in LR Develop Camera Calibration Profile. (If the picture is taken with Nikon D300S)
    But this does not work with Nikon D810.  
    The computer runs Win7 x64 professional(DK).
    LR 5.7, ACR 7.7, Ps CC 14.2.1 x64
    It has cameraprofiles in
      C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera
    and in
      C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    Everthing seems to work as it did with D300s except:
    I can´t persuade ACR and LR to show my new QP profiles!
    What is wrong?

    Hi,
    This is a Nikon D810 picture.

    It will be interesting if you can find the  profile in LR or ACR.
    I'll wait anxiously

  • Why does Boot Camp not recognize Windows ISO image(s) ?

    Dear friends,
    My intention is to install Windows 7 on my Mac
    (I've several Windows OS .iso images)
    in the "BOOTCAMP" called partition, created by Boot Camp 3.0 application, on my internal drive.
    This is a 32 GB partition, being FAT32 formatted,
    but any version of Windows 7 (when installing)
    will surely want to be on an NTFS volume and reformat it.
    I've already burned 3 ISOs, with Toast Titanium 10.0.7 (speed : 2x, less not possible), on 3 DVDs :
    — 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x64 (with folders and strict ISO 9660 names) ;
    — 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone ;
    — 1 DVD -R with W7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone.
    *Boot Camp doesn't recognize these discs as Windows installation DVDs*,
    and so does nothing but wait.
    I'm sure that something is missing on the disks to be recognized
    as bootable Windows installation discs,
    but I absolutely don't know what (setup.exe, for example, or another .exe file ?).
    Do I have to do something with the burning options
    (strict ISO 9660 naming, Mac names authorized, Hybrid Mac and PC,
    Joliet names or not, folders or not, etc.)
    Do I have to do something with the ISO image (any ISO I have), and how, and what ?
    I've also activators and many other things (.exe files),
    but I think they have to be used AFTER installation.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help !
    With my kind regards,
    Olivier Herrbach

    Dear baltwo,
    Thank you very much for your feedback.
    I'll go there immediately. It's obvious for me that only one .iso file, alone on a DVD, can't be sufficient, comparing with +(but I don't know what)+ is on a Microsoft Windows Install DVD.
    With my kind regards
    Olivier Herrbach
    PS : I didn't have any time to reply to anyone, when I asked "How can I move something (copying it) without leaving original in it's place ?". Someone had the answer : "Drag and hold down cmd while releasing mouse". OK, it works, but you have to have good nerves, because folders open when doing that (I changed delay in Finder Preferences to the slowest), and there's also another inconvenient : I don't trust in copy (I want a one by one byte result), so I have to write what Get Info says BEFORE, and compare it after that with what Get Info says. In this case, I prefer to return to my old habits.
    PPS : I observed, and I will tell it somewhere when possible, that *Get Info gives false informations*.
    For example, I copied a folder with 58 items inside. Get Info didn't give me the same number of bytes for the copy as for the original. So, I did Get Info for *EACH of the 58 items*, wrote the results (in bytes) on a paper, and after adding *all the bytes of the copy*, found THE SAME NUMBER *as the total size of the original.* That's how I waste my time !
    Good evening, hoping to read you somewhere soon.
