Why won't my Mac Lion recognize Kindle device?

why won't my Mac Lion recognize Kindle device? I want to use files on my Kindle but when I plug in the Kindle USB to the MacBook Pro's port, the computer won't show it or recognize it. 

Annoying same with my Android Samsung devices which will when I am in Windows.

  • Why won't my mac start if USB devices are plugged in?

    This behavior just started in a system that had been stable for months -- except for OS upgrades. Not sure if this is about the motherboard USB ports or possible the power supply failing. Here is the situation: The Mac Pro boots normally from the power on button if the only usb device attached is the keyboard / mouse. If I plug additional USB 2.0 devices (Wacom tablet, IPod) into the usb 2.0 ports on the front or back of the computer, then when I hit the power on button I just get a "click" noise and no boot. If I plug the Wacom and the iPod into powered usb ports -- like the ports on the back of the monitor -- then it will boot normally. This tells me that the USB ports on the motherboard are not getting / delivering the voltage they need at boot. Does this sound right? Any thoughts or ideas? Is there any way to test USB ports? Or to test the power supply?

    My mac is still under applecare. Is it worth taking in to Apple Store?
    What would they even find? Could I need a new motherboard or a new power supply? This is a new problem, to me it suggests some kind of system partial failure. But maybe this is just what happens on older hardware as the software gets updated. Another idea for a solution would be to get a Sonnet USB 2.0 Pci-e card and plug that into the motherboard and use those USB ports, but I have no guarantee that would work better -- and solve the fails-to-boot problem. $50 to get a card and try it...

  • 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 with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Tell us, what hardware add ons?
    old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
    Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
    does it happen iwth a clean install?
    how about if you do a Safe Boot?

  • 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 Mac with Mountain Lion OS recognise my external Samsung hard drive?

    Why won't my Mac with Mountain Lion OS recognise my external Samsung hard drive?

    Launch/Utilities/Terminal and enter this command at the prompt:
    diskutil list
    Press return.
    If it sees the disk, note the number of the disk (far left column) you want to mount.
    Then, enter this command:
    mount /dev/(number of disk)
    Put in the number no parenthesis.
    Press Return.
    If that doesn't wortk try the same with this command...
    mount force /dev/(number of disk)

  • Why won't 10.6.8 recognize canon xha1

    Why won't 10.6.8 recognize the canon xha1 video camera

    THIS IS STUPID! One of the few things about my Canon XH A1 and/or my mac that really tick me off!
    Nevertheless I have found a roundabout solution that worked for me and may work for you as well:
    My macbook pro (2011) has a Firewire 800 plug. Do NOT plug the camera directly into the firewire 800. Instead, plug the camera into an external hard drive (i happen to have a 500GB Western Digital) with 2 firewire 400 ports. THEN, plug the external HD to the Macbook computer.
    ODD, I know, but it works, i tell you!
    So the chain should be:
    Cannon (4pin firewire 400) --> WD HD (6pin firewire 400)
    WD HD (6pin firewire 400) --> MacBook (Firewire 800)
    Presto... recognization!
    Good luck.

  • Why won't my Mac Pro load things without locking up ?

    Why won't my Mac Pro load things or let me do a "save as" without locking up ? I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test and it locks up as well.

    you have anitebook in forum for 65lbs towers
    youneed to repair your disk directory or erase and restore
    and use Recovery Mode in 10.7 and later
    AHT does not lick up, not unless your laptop RAM or mobo has failed totally and died, more common for laptops that overheat, sufferwater damage, but still...
    depends on how new what to do, might try macbookmpro forum.

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Hi X,
    I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
    the terminal app in response to above line reads;
    com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
    com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
    com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
    launch agents (in user)
    com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    com.google.keystone.agent.plist
    launch agents and daemons - too many to list
    any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
