Why doesn't the iphone show up in my device

so when i use to hook up to windows the iphone would let me open up the iphone to get my pictures out but when i hook it up to my macbook it dont show up at all.. i want to get pictures off of this iphone

The iPhone does not show up on the desktop on the Mac, by design (because disk use is not possible, unlike most iPods). You need to use iPhoto or Image Capture to get the pics off the phone. iPhoto is for organizing your pics, sorting them, editing them, etc. You can choose iPhoto albums to sync back onto the phone, if you like. Image Capture is a simple app to pull images off cameras or scanners.
If you have iLife '08 or later, select iPhoto > iPhoto menu > Preferences > General tab and set the When Camera is Connected pop-up to either launch iPhoto or Image Capture. If you have an older version of iLife, that setting is in Applications > Image Capture > Image Capture menu > Preferences.

  • Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

    Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

    From the Swype website:
    Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
    Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

  • Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to 100%?

    Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to a full 100% when charing over night?

    OK sort of an old thread now but this apparently is a common issue. Restore wont help. I have researched it for the past week (did several months ago too and gave up) but I now have somewhat of a solution to this phenomena. For whatever reason mine seems to stay at 100% most of the night than around 7:00am it would drop to 97% or so within a few minutes. This sorta stopped when iOS 5.1.1 came out. Now it stays at 100% until I unplug it then it drops. What I was doing was each morning when wake up, I unplug then plug back in while I was getting ready for the day and it would go back to 100%. So for the fix. What I have discovered over the past week worked 100% of the time. When go to bed I turn off the phone with the slider. Then plug in charger and let the phone come alive again by itself. But I do not log it in. Just let it sit at the lock screen. Now every morning its at 100% and stays that way for more than an hour (If not used). So it is being fully charged and remaining that way. iPhone will quick charge to 100% by meter but in reality it still needs longer to fully charge. Anyway this process has solved the waking up to less than 100% while still being connected to the charger.

  • Why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
    Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

  • HT1853 Why doesn't the iTunes show your device?

  • Why doesn't the iPhone organise music correctly?

    I am running iTunes 10.7(21) on a 2011 iMac. I have an iPhone 5 on iOS6. I have never been able to correctly organise my music on the phone. Compilation albums showing up 100 times, with all 100 songs in each instance of the album... etc. I am no longer adding compilation ablums because I can't get them to display correctly. Shame.. Anyway.
    With the iPhone 5, i added a load of music, and realised some of it was *missing*. It would show up under "Songs", with all tag info (artist, album track name), but the same tracks would not be listed under "Artist". All track info is immaculate.
    I wiped all the music, and now have just begun re-adding it all. I have 3 Artists on there so far, and they all show up. Tapping on an artist brings up the one or two albums I have copied on, the tracks play. However if I try to view all albums, only one album apprears to be on the entire phone.
    I sold my prefectly organised 160Gb iPod when I got the new iPhone.. Not happy that I can't get everything the way I want it on the iPhone!
    Also how difficult is it to get artwork to add to an album properly!! I spend way too much time swearing at iTunes.
    Anyone with any help or advice, I'd love to hear it!
    Thanks. Tony

    Seems to have worked. I think. The album has copied on, all 100 songs show up in iTunes and on the iPhone under "Songs". But in the album or compilations list it is not there? Frustrating as the files are obviously on the phone, they just don't show up where they are supposed to.
    As for the artwork, it's just hit and miss. Sometimes perfect, other times it doesn't sync over. Can't seem to work out what causes the difference. It updates and syncs, then there is no change on the phone. Beats me!
    It was so easy to organise music on an iPod classic. Compilations were all under the right heading, artwork copied every time, it was heaven! This is just rediculious. I know my way around a computer!
    electronicsguy; I have Group By Album Artist enabled, and now all the other (non-compilation) albums are visible.

  • HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

    I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
    Appreciatively,
    Donna

    I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

  • Why doesn´t the outbox show up ?

    Hi!
    This has been frustrating me me for, almost, years now.
    Why doesn´t this happen. When I send a mail, maybe 4-6 mb,
    I´m not informed about the progress...The outbox is not there.
    (Just before finishing it will be, but that´s not good enough).
    Could you be helpful. Thanks!

    Jan,
    On the bottom left side of the Mail window, you should see an icon resembling ⍐. Just click on that icon to display the Mail Activity pane.

  • I exported a .tif file and created a new folder for it. Why doesn't the folder show in the catalog?

    Should the folder show in the catalog?

    No, by default, exporting does not cause the photo to appear in the Catalog, nor does it cause the folder to appear in the Folder Panel.
    There is an option in the Export dialog box that automatically imports the exported photo into the catalog, maybe that's what you want, maybe not. I rarely see a need to have exports included in the catalog. Most people export only when needed for non-Lightroom purposes, and in that case, there's no reason to keep exports long-term, as you can always re-create the exported photo by exporting it again.

  • HT5887 Why doesn't the iPhone 4S have airdrop?

    I would like to know why my iPhone 4S does not have airdrop and airplay

    Airdrop needs a special Wifi chip to create an AdHoc network. The 4S does not have it. That's why. So I guess I know what i'm talking about.
    Progress in the sense that hardware becomes obsolete and it is not backwards compatible. That has been the story in the electronics world ever since Edison invented the gramophone in 1877.
