tronic Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 hi, all my externsl usb hdds get recognized fine in macosx 10.6.2, but the iphone doesn't work. on windows it gets recognized by itunes with no problems. i can also see the iphone in the system profiler, but when starting itunes it won't come up until i disconnect the iphone from the computer. is that a problem with my usb drivers? everything works except the iphone.... thanks in advance!

Yev Belman Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 tronic, did you figure this out? I have the same exact problem. Every usb device works besides iphone. It shows up for me in System Profiler as well.

Wailord Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Sad to say I've got the same deal going on. It shows up in System Profiler, but iTunes refuses to mount it and it won't charge, either. I decided to try out an iPod nano, and it shows up - and iTunes tells me it's a USB 1.1 port, which it's certainly not. Tried multiple ports. All other USB devices work - HDs, cameras, wireless adapters, etc. Makes no sense. Hopefully someone can figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wailord Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 WOOOOOO! Finally fixed the only issue with my Hackintosh! I installed this with Kext Helper, and BAM, iPhone syncs and charges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yev Belman Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Wailord, thank you buddy. This kext worked for me as well (Dell Vostro 1310 laptop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wailord Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'm glad it worked for you, too. Hopefully future Googlers are saved by this as well. I just got lucky picking a random kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 WOOOOOO! Finally fixed the only issue with my Hackintosh! I installed this with Kext Helper, and BAM, iPhone syncs and charges! Thanks for that. I've got 10.6.4 running on an old Asus P5LD2 core 2 duo and couldn't get it to recognise my 3gs. This kext worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamed G Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm still having iPhone problems even with this kext installed. iPhone 3GS shows in the system profiler but never in iTunes, tried a few different USB kexts which are all supposed to solve the problem but no joy. Same story with my iPad 3GS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinqz Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have the same problem i've been trying to look everywhere for a solution but can't seem to get it to work for me. all my ext HDD work but when i try to plug in my iphone or itouch it doesnt seem to pick it up at all. no charging, no nothing. I tried reinstalling itunes, rebooting my iphone and itouch, restoring my iphone and itouch. NOTHING Works. IT works on my Macbook Pro and my gateway netbook. SIGH.......... I hope somebody is able to help us on this particular problem soon....... Oh My build is... Intel Quad Core 2.83 Asus P5Q Motherboard 2TB HDD 4 GB DDR2 OCZ RAM 9800 GT 512 MB OSX 10.6.4 ( [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamed G Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I found my solution in a bios update, installing the newest update for my laptop's motherboard seemed to clear up any USB problems I had. Thinking back my iPhone was always a bit flakey with Windows on this machine so the Bios update may have been long over due for my USB functionality.

liliass Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Above kext works for me, now my Iphone can be charge and sync with itune without any problem. however, my Dlink WIFI usb adapter DWA125 after using the kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKappa Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 This Kext does not work for me. By installing it I wasn't able to use USB Mice and Keyboards untill I changed the setting in the BIOS to "Yes" under the voice "plug n play OS". At all I've found another one that works fine for my Iphone 3GS under Itunes 10, even with the 3.1.3 jailbroken firmware. It is called: IOUSBFamily-378 2.pkg google for it you will surely find it. Ops my config is: Intel i5 750 4 GB Kingston HyperX Nvidia Geforce 210 Asus P7P55D EVO runnning SL 10.6.4 installed with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + multihbeast mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acer 5810T Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 WOOOOOO! Finally fixed the only issue with my Hackintosh! I installed this with Kext Helper, and BAM, iPhone syncs and charges! GREAT!! Thank you, man!!! This worked fine for me too, I was doubtful if to try or not since I had lot of problems with USB, but now I see the iPhone, it charges battery and iTunes connects fine. Tethering Internet through the iPhone needs to be tested. My build is: Acer Aspire 5810T with 4 gb RAM 360 HD, Video Intel GMA 4500 HD with iAtkos S3 (v1) Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Of course I checked all my old usb devices (including Huawei UMTS key) and everything goes.

Shayanzade Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The "fix" works, iPhone is recognised, but now the volume buttons on my keyboard and middle click on my mouse aren't supported, also for some reason my system volume is lower then usual. Already spent years googling, so frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
