Why won't my iMac or airbook (using 10.6.8) recongnise my Samsung galaxy S3 mini when I connect it via USB?
I'm trying to connect a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini to my iMac (using 10.6.8).
I used to be able to do this easily (fairly) with a Galaxy S2, but now neither my iMac nor my Airbook recongnise with S3 mini when I plug it in.
IS there something in either the phone or computer settings I need to change to make this happen?
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
I have to have 2 service providers to make sure I have coverage everywhere possible. I have a S3 on Verizon and went to go get my 2nd phone at ATT, it was the day before the iPhone 5 came out. I was tempted, don't get me wrong. I have had an iPhone in the past. But for me, I'm tech savvy, rely on my devices so much given the amount of travel that I do and the amount of info that I need to have with me on a regular basis, both nationally and internationally, and went for the Red GS3 on ATT. It was close, but the removable memory, able to have 80gb of memory with 16 built in and a 64gb card on ATT/96gb on the Verizon model with 32g built in and a 64gb card vs 64gb max on the I5, great camera on both, and running andoid system (which i really prefer over iOS on my phone, and I have an iMac, iPad2 x3, and a MBP13", so usually and apple girl). Otherwise, spec wise, it's fairly a draw. Yes, people copy, and lawsuits are everywhere, including against the I5 by HTC for the 4g guts, its a personal preference.
Since my initial issues with syncing I have had no problems since on either phone once I had the settings right to sync. Good Luck!

Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive. -
Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader?
Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader? It works fine with windows laptoip and the manual states it should work with 0S 10 and above.
Go to > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections that pertain to the external superdrive.
Try cleaning it with a lens cleaning disc.

If that doesn't help? It is covered for 1 full year, so take it in for service or exchange. -
Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.
When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently? -

One more reason to put my iMAC at the curb. I can open and view Picasa photo links when I sign in via Google, but if I'm in Mail and click on the Picasa image link (my own or one someone else sends me) I can't view the images. They are all blank white squares. This started a few weeks ago. Why can't I view Picasa link images through Mail?

Any ideas why I can't text my friend my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing
Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage. If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number. If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.

Hi, haven't used iMovie in years. I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2). When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie. Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical? Thanks.
You actually want a vertical video??
What would you show that on?!
Rotating video or photos in iMovie 11:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a884fd3
In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

Why won't my iMac recognise my external hard drive?
I have a new 2012 iMac 27" and it won't recongnise my external hard drive. It's a Seagate GoFlex desk adapter USB 3.0 and will not come up in Finder or Disk Utility. I'm new to Macs andk unsure what to do.
Are you correctly using one of the new required "USB 3 Compatible" cables for the connection? A "USB 2" Rated cable will not work.
