Why won't my IMAC recognize my new smart phone via USB?

Why won't my imac recognize my new smart phone via USB?

Have no clue since you provided no details.  What did the smart phone tech support tell you?  You contacted them right?

  • Why won't my iMac find my new MacBook on the network for Migration?

    My older iMac (7,1) can't find my new MacBook Pro on the network. I've tried two different WiFi networks. I've ensured both machines are current in their SW. I can't use Ethernet because I didn't buy the Thunderbolt to Ethernet connector. The MacBook sees the iMac, but the iMac just keeps searching and after a while the MacBook displays a message that the iMac is not responding.
    I believe I'm following the Migration Assistant directions properly, starting the app on the iMac and selecting migrate to a Mac, and then starting Migration Assistant on the MacBook and selecting migrate from a Mac or PC.
    It used to be that I could connect the two via FireWire and start up the older Mac while holding down the "t" key and the newer machine would see the older machine as a disk drive. Without FireWire on the new machine could I use a USB connection the same way?

    Lessons Learned:
    Thunderbolt to FireWire is only for FireWire 800 so doesn't help connect to older FireWire 400 disks. (Apple Store employee says there is a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 converter, they just didn't have it in stock.) My iMac has a FireWire 800 port, but I didin't have a FireWire 800 cable. (I'm opposed to buying one time use things, like the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, FireWire 800 to 400 adapter, or a FireWire 800 cable.)
    Be sure to pay attention to migration direction. You can migrate either direction, but you probably don't want to migrate from a new machine to an old one.
    If you have the same user id on both machine you cannot migrate into the user id you're logged into on the new machine. Might be better to first create a dummy id on the new machine, migrate all old id's over, and then delete the dummy id. Obviously I didn't do this.
    If you have a wireless router with multiple ethernet ports you can connect the two machines to the router, ignore the wireless network, and connect via ethernet. I could not connect the two machines just running an ethernet cable between the two. (I think someone suggested that.)

  • Why won't my iMac connect with new trackpad?

    I have an iMac with a wireless keyboard and mouse connected via Bluetooth.  When I try to connect a trackpad the mac does not detect the trackpad sitting on the desk.  Is there another setting that needs to be changed to authorize the trackpad?

    I would think.. that you have to put your track pad into a discoverable mode until your imac can pair up with it.  Check out the directions for the trackpad to activate the discoverable mode and then launch your bluetooth assistant, and go from there.
    Hope that helps
    Terrence.

  • Why won't my iMac recognize my micro sd card through my card reader?

    I restarted my computer twice and it still doesnt work... This has never happened to me before.

    Do you have your Finder Preferences set to show external disks on the desktop? And is your reader USB? Readers to fail - they are just hardware and can (and will) fail at some point. Do you have another card reader and/or have you tried it on all your USB ports (to rule out a port problem)?

  • Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    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 MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

    I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures.  None of them work!!  She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!?  Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

    A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
    that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
    burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
    then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

  • Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

    Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
    I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
    I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
    Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
    When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
    Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
    For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
    I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
    Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
    In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
    Can anyone advise please?

    If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

  • 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.
    example > Memorex CD and DVD Lens Cleaning Kit: Electronics
    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.

    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?
