Why does my new MacBook air not recognize my iPod touch?

After I connect the iPod 3.1 to my MacBook Air, the Mac does nothing. It doesnt recognize the iPod and I can't find it anywhere. Any help? Thanks =)

Start a finder window and on the menubar Finder > Preferences > General tab > check Show these Item on the desktop > CDs DVDs, and iPods.
If you want it to start iTunes, connect the iPod, select it in the sidebar of iTunes and on the Summary tab, check "open iTunes when this iPod is connected.

  • Does the new Macbook Air not have iLife and iWork Apps?

    My old Macbook Air came with iLife and iWorks installed. My new Macbook Air with osX does not. Am I missing something?

    It comes with GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto.  If you want pages and numbers, must buy in the App store or theiWork DVD.

  • Why does my new macbook air keep crashing i.c.w. Time Capsule!!!?

    I bought my new MBA 11" @ the apple store eaton centre in Toronto. Since my purchase i dec 2010 the MBA crashed often but i thought this was normal (once a week).
    Now i connected a brand new Time Capsule & Airport Express (bought @ apple.com) and now it crashes every 30 minutes!!!
    --when i try to copy data to the time capsule it crashes after 1,5 gb.
    --when i'm listening music via Airport Express the MBA crashes after 20 minutes.
    I get a ' filter'  over my screen with in several languages that i need to reboot....
    I tried to get support at Apple (via phone) but the suggested that i should visit iCentre (in Ede, The Netherlands were i live).
    They took my Apple in repair. Got it for over a week and then they told me that the had run some test and that there was nothing wrong... The invoice was euro 79,-!
    ...At home i tried to copy files to my Time Capsule and the machine crashes again.... (nothing wrong???)
    Why can't i get normal support on this expensive machines....!!!???

    Backing up other Ethernet doesn't prevent access via Wi-Fi.
    If the Time Capsule creating a wireless network?  If not, you'll need to configure it to do so in order to allow the MBA to connect to it.  If it does, can you connect the MBA to the Time Capsule's network?
    Depending on the amount of data you want to transfer, using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter would help things run faster.

  • Does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion?

    does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion? if so, where can i find it? cause if i'm right, i remember saw a mountain lion logo on someones desktop. also, if i have it on my mac, why do I find it in the apple store saying that I need to purchase it for $19.99?

    All new MacBooks Air come with OS X Mountain Lion, as it's the only supported version in Mid 2013 MacBooks Air. Mid 2012 MacBooks Air come with Lion or Mountain Lion, depending on when they were manufactured.

    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version which is different than the version available at the Mac App Store. That's the reason why you see the price at the Mac App Store, but you already have Mountain Lion. If you try to purchase Mountain Lion, the App Store will tell you that it's not compatible with your MacBook Air. To reinstall Mac OS X, you have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • Why does this stupid Apple TV not recognize my itunes account when I put in my ID and password???  I've had nothing but problems with it.

    Why does this stupid Apple TV not recognize my itunes account??

    if you mean home sharing then
    home sharing is not set on the appletv but on the itunes program on the computer which lib one wish to share
    the home share password need not be the appleID password as homeshare is also meant to share your media with others on your LAN network whom you may not wish to know your appleID password
    so home sharing password is set seperately in ituens on your computer

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Why does the new MacBook Pro 13 no longer come with a graphics card?

    Why does the new MacBook Pro no longer come with a graphics card?  Or at least make it so you can opt for one.

    I know how you feel. Your MacBook Pro has integrated graphics 384 MB or 512 MB. If you are a gamer, creative professional or just want more VRAM get a 15 inch MacBook Pro with up to 1 gig of VRAM or a windows gaming laptop with up to 16 gigs of VRAM (a ridiculous amount!). If you get a windows pc, you can always install virtual box. There is no point in buying a 13 inch MacBook Pro unless you need a lightweight laptop with all of the extra "goodies". There is also no possible way to change the graphics unless you know how to "unhook" the card from the processor and install a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Why ITunes do not recognize my iPod Touch

    Hi everybody!
    I have an IPod Touch and for some weeks, I have big problems with ITunes I can not solve.  Let me explain:
    Initially, it worked fine.  Then one day, decided that ITunes does not recognize my IPod Touch, more precisely it do not read more.
    When I plug my IPod Touch, ITunes tries to read it and then a message appears saying: «ITunes can not read the contents of the IPod xxxx».  Then they told me to restore my IPod to restore the original settings, I tried but it did not work either because after a while a message appears telling me that my internet connection failed while yet it works!!?!!
    Then I tried to solve the problem in the tab «Help» ITunes under «establish a diagnosis» and then the test tells me that there is no IPod detected while my IPod is plugged and recognized in Windows Vista.  It tells me: «ITunes could not connect to the IPod xxxx because the record is missing the match.» What does that mean??
    I also tried everything in the Apple support and nothing worked.  My IPod ans ITunes are up to date.  I even uninstalled ITunes and any Apple product for the reinstalled everything but it still does not work.
    Does anyone can help me??
    I confess that I am discouraged and frustrated.
    Thank you in advance!

    Bonjour tout le monde!
    J'ai un IPod Touch et depuis quelques semaines, j'ai de gros problèmes avec ITunes que je n'arrive pas à résoudre.  Je vous explique:
    Au départ, tout fonctionnait bien.  Puis un jour, ITunes a décidé qu'il ne reconnait plus mon IPod Touch, plus précisémment il ne le lie plus.  Lorsque je branche mon IPod Touch, ITunes essaie de le lire puis un message s'affiche me disant: «ITunes ne peut pas lire le contenu de l'IPod xxxx».  Puis on me dit de restaurer mon IPod afin de rétablir les  paramètres d'origine, ce que j'ai essayé mais ça ne fonctionne pas non plus car après un temps un message s'affiche me disant que ma connexion internet a échoué alors que pourtant elle fonctionne!!?!!
    Puis, j'ai essayé de résoudre le problème dans l'onglet «aide» d'ITunes sous établir un diagnostique et là, le test me dit qu'il n'y a aucun IPod détecté alors que mon IPod est bien branché et reconnu dans Windows Vista.  On me dit aussi: « ITunes n'a pu se connecter à l'IPod xxxx car l'enregistrement du jumelage est manquant».  Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire??
    J'ai aussi tout essayer dans le support d'Apple et rien n'a fonctionné.  Mon IPod et ITunes sont à jour.  J'ai même désinstallé ITunes et tout les produit Apple pour tout réinstallé mais ça ne fonctionne toujours pas. :-(
    Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider??!! 
    J'avoue que je suis découragée et frustrée.
    Merci d'avance!
