MacBook Pro :: IPad Keeps Connecting And Reconnecting Using USB?
Aug 21, 2014
For the past month or so my iPad hasn't been able to connect to my 2013 Macbook Pro. I've tried solutions such as reinstalling iTunes and updating software but nothing has worked. I can connect to my PC fine but when I try to connect to the Macbook, it keeps quickly connecting and reconnecting. When I connect to the Macbook it gives me the message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.". This seems to be a problem with the Macbook instead of the iPad. I haven't enabled it to connect over Wifi also.
Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 7.1.2

I have a 2.3 GHz MBP bought in 2011. It sits on my desk with the power adapter plugged in and I have a large monitor, keyboard and mouse attached. Typically every weekend or at least every other weekend I disconnect everything from the MBP and carry it around for a day or so until the battery is less than half charged. Then I reconnect everything and let it charge up.
1. Is what I do necessary and if so is that frequency of recharging sufficient?
2. Is it advisable to do a shut down before disconnecting everything and again before reconnecting?
3. If letting the battery run down once in a while is advisable, as a mater of convenience could I leave the MBP connected on my desk and just remove the power adapter, so it would still be connected to the monitor, keyboard and mouse just using the battery, and then reconnect the adapter when the battery is low?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

This issue started to appear few days ago, and it is really frustrating.
Every couple of minutes, my Airport disconnects from the networks and reconnects in a matter of seconds, causing all of my on-line activities to cancel, and IM programs to disconnect.
And the main concern is that I've had my Macbook for 2 and a half years already, and this never happened before. And now happens all the time.

First off, apologies if this has been addressed in a previous post; went through a few pages and saw nothing that helped. I have been having problems with my i5 Thunderbolt 11" MacBook Air - running Lion 10.7.3 - reconnecting to my home network, which is listed as a Prefered Network, after being in sleep mode; especially after a long sleep, say overnight.
I know it's not my network because my 2.8 Core 2 Duo 15" MBP - running 10.6.8 - never has a problems reconnecting. I see other posts refering to a WiFi Update for other machines, but not the Air. And this was purchased with Lion, so while a re-install might solve the issue - again something I saw suggested - I would rather avoid the hassle.
I've checked with the "Apple people" at Best Buy - the closest thing I have to an Apple Store here in South Texas - and they say the recent update should have fixed the problem. [URL]..

I have a 2009 Mac Pro ("Cyrus").
Connected to it are via USB and video an Apple Cinema Display.
Connected to the Cinema Display are an apple keyboard and to it an Apple Mighty Mouse.
Sometimes the mouse pointer freezes (or rather is found frozen when I return to the machine and the screen saver was on) and the only way to get it back to work is to disconnect the mouse and reconnect it.
However, every second or so time I do this, the Mac Pro crashes. The screen turns darker and in the middle a multilingual text tells me that I have to restart my Mac.
Does this happen to anybody else?
How can I prevent it and why does Mac OS X crash over a USB event?

Since updating to to 10.7.4 when ever I restart my iMac my wifi does not automatically reconnect. Additionally, I have to wait 30 to 45 seconds for my network to be seen by airport so that I can connect to it manually.

I started to relocate masters in Aperture (latest version) onto a disk image on my desktop as I have done many times in the past prior to archiving them and freeing up space on my hard drive.
All went well until in the middle of exporting one project the export suddenly stopped. The images that were successfully moved showed the grey square as normal but there were 6 that had a yellow warning flag. These are shown as being offline but not referenced so when I try to relocate masters they aren't shown.
I've looked in the library and there's no sign however I have found them in the vault so I copied them and pasted them into the library and also the disk image but Aperture still can't "see" them!

After a few months of confusion, I think one of my USB ports is dying. I had been plugging a My Passport HDD into my left USB port and a fan/hub (plus other things into the hub) into the right USB port. I had been having problems using Time Machine even with a HDD attached to my computer, so I figured the HDD was bad. I bought a new one (Seagate 1.5TB at $120) and planned on using another 500GB drive I have for Time Machine.
At the same time, I had been plugging my new iPhone 3GS into either ports on a hub on that right port chain or directly into it. The phone would eject and reconnect a lot when doing that. When I tried it on the left USB port or even connected to that hub coming off the left port, no problems. I plugged up a different HDD to the right side. It also began ejecting and reconnecting from time to time.I think my USB port is going bad, but I'm not sure because I have never had one that worked well and then stopped on a factory-built system. The only other time I had problems was when I bought a big, fancy PC case with about 800 ports and one or two out of 500 on the front wouldn't work. This is a much bigger problem on a MacBook Pro. If this port does sound bad, would it be worth investing in an ExpressCard USB port card? I have a good 4 or 5 devices that I need plugged in, but I think I can manage using the fan/hub device for most of it.

I moved my entire 1.4TB iTunes folder to my Drobo. Then I went into preferences and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location, and I also have Keep iTunes music folder organized. That worked fine all of the music, movies and TV shows opened up fine. Than after adding a new HDD to my drobo I opened my iTunes and all of a sudden it gives me the ! next to all my files and wants me to locate them, and the folder is still the same in the folder location. Is there anyway to fix this, or to automatically reconnect all my media instead of doing it 1 by 1.

unfortunately, i've already deleted the old music files from the old hard drive so hopefully i don't need to do something with that.

Also, is it possible to share an iTunes library between my MBA and my PC so I can sync my iPad and iPhone without having to create a new library? The library file is currently on the NAS and just wanted to use the same one. Would it allow me to sync my iPhone with the PC and the iPad with the MBA using the same library on the NAS? I know this is more of an iTunes question, but figured I would post it here instead of starting another thread.

I'm new to the whole Apple scene, been using (and still am using) Windows up to this point but now that I've saved up some cash I want to make the switch. Running a 4-year old Windows desktop and 1-year old Windows netbook right now, sick and tired of this!
I'm a photographer, so I need a computer that can edit photos and video and not just to browse. I spend 5 days a week at my University and the weekends at home, so there is a little issue with the mobility. I have over 30GB of music by the way. Budget allowing, I can get the [ MC511ZP/A - iMac 27"/2.8 ghz Intel Core i5 /4 GB/1 TB HD/ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1 TB ] as an iMac, or the [ MC373LL/A - MBP 15" 2.66 Ghz i7/4 GB/ 500 GB HD/ 512 MB GDDR3 Intel HD ] if I were to get a Macbook Pro.
Given the circumstances, would it be more reasonable for me to get the MBP+iPad so that I could have a powerful computer I could easily move between my two houses while at the same time having a super-mobile tablet to use in school and for non-heavy duty computing activities, the MBP+iPod Touch which would be the same concept as the iPad but then I'd have to use the MBP for e-mailing and web browsing and just stick to having mobile music, or the 27" iMac which gives me the most bang for the buck and a really pretty screen while having the iPad as my mobile computer although it would mean I would have to go 2-3 days a week with only my iPad as a computer excepting long vacations when I would just take my iMac back to our family house?

I have the Australin app called Ninenewsbreak and the app works well on my iphone4 BUT the sound won't work on my iPad.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and still no sound. This app is for the iPhone and iPad according to the advert in the app store. The sound works great on the iPad for other apps downloaded.

Does the iPad signal the end of the MBA?
I kind of like the new toy, but I honestly love my MBA. I hope Apple will continue to improve the Air, but I think the iPad will be a greater money maker for Apple so ... ?

1. A backpack format (although messenger or sling would be ok)
2. Holds MacBook air 13" and iPad
3. Laptop portion is made for the air (I.e. not "for laptops up to 15", etc.)
4. Has several small compartments for cables, power brick, mouse, etc.
I've looked all over and can't seem to find anything that fits this bill. There are a TON of bags for larger laptops and some even have iPad slots but I haven't seen one for an air and an iPad.

So for about the same cash, you can buy an 27" iMac+iPad or get a 15" MBP. I'm deliberating between the two options for my next setup. If the iPad had flash support, I would be all over the imac+ipad combo because that would mean i can watch hulu on the ipad
