iMazing does not recognize my device (Mac)

iMazing relies on Apple drivers to recognize your device. If iMazing does not recognise your device then it's very likely that your Apple drivers are not up to date.

 

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

1. Try a different USB port and/or cable. If you usually connect through a USB hub, try connecting your device directly to your computer.

2. Check for software updates (macOS: System Settings > Software Updates)

There may be system updates for your version of macOS that fix the issue.

3. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy

4. Check 3rd party security software

Security software can prevent iMazing from connecting to Apple devices. You might need to temporarily disable or remove your computer's security software.

And if that does not work...

The vast majority of connection issues are resolved by following these steps. If iMazing still does not recognise your device contact us and let us know that you've already followed the steps above. We're here to help!

 

iPod nano, iPod classic

These iPods works a bit differently than iOS Apple devices - if you are having trouble getting the device to show up in iMazing, please apply the following steps:

1. Try a different USB port and/or cable. If you usually connect through a USB hub, try connecting your device directly to your computer.

2. Enable Disk Use in iTunes or Finder

  1. Open iTunes or Finder, select your device and make sure your iPod shows up there.
  2. Once iTunes or Finder picks up your iPod, select it and make sure the "Enable Disk Use" check box is checked.
  3. Restart iMazing, your iPod should now show up after a few seconds.

And if that does not work...

The vast majority of connection issues are resolved by following these steps. If iMazing still does not recognise your device contact us and let us know that you've alreadyfollowed the steps above. We're here to help!

 

iPod Shuffle

The iPod Shuffle is only supported on the Windows version of iMazing.
