  • Transfer music from iPad to new iMac much too slow

    I want to transfer my music and videos, but not my apps, from my 128 GB iPad Air to my new iMac/Mavericks.
    I tried to do this by
    Connecting the iPad to a USB port on the iMac
    Initiating "Transfer Purchases" from iTunes
    Unfortunately, this is ridiculously slow, it would take hours I estimate. For one think I have about 40 gig of apps and that takes forever to transfer. I thought that iMac supported USB 3?
    Is there some reasonably quick way to do this? I can't sit around for 8 hours with my iPad hooked up to my Mac, I need it.

    There are a lot of complaints about this. The bottleneck seems to be the iPad Air.
    Syncing is slower on iPad Air

  • Sync iPad with new iMac

    i just bought a brand new imac and i connected my ipad thinking i could easily sync my whole itunes library over.  My actual itunes library is stored on my PC at work.  When i connected it, it said it would erase everything on th ipad and sync from itunes library on the mac (of which there isn't one yet).  I'm confused.  Honestly I thought this would be a snap for such highly intelligent products.

    Your iTunes library is stored locally on your computer. It is not stored by Apple/iTunes on a server somewhere so that your iTunes on a new computer recognizes that library and sync with it. You said it yourself that your iTunes library is on a PC at work.
    You will have to copy that library to the new iMac and then iTunes on the Mac will recognize the iPad and sync accordingly. This kb article from Apple explains a number of ways that you can do this. Included in this article is the transfer purchases feature which you can do from the iPad to the new Mac, but it will only copy purchased content into the new iTunes library. The link is actually at the bottom of this post. The Atomic browser is giving me fits today.

  • Connecting Macbook to new iMac

    I recently bought the 24 inch iMac because my Macbook (purchased April 2006) is slow, unresponsive and has a broken optical drive. I have all of my recent photographs on my Macbook and would like to transfer them to my new iMac using a brand new Firewire 800 9-6 pin cable. My macbook is in working condition and this should work.. however my Macbook in FW mode isn't showing up on my iMac! Help!

    That should be working. Try restarting the iMac with the MacBook connected in target mode. Also, if you run Disk Utility, does the MacBook's drive appear in the sidebar?
    If you have never used that new cable for anything else, it is possible the cable is bad. It is also possible one of the FireWire ports is faulty. Do you have any FireWire 400 device? If so, use that cable to connect it to the iMac's FireWire 800 port, as a test. That will test the iMac's port and the cable. Also try connecting it to the MacBook with a normal cable, to make sure that port is working.
    You can also connect the two Macs using +File Sharing+ over the network. Using an Ethernet cable to directly connect the two Macs will be faster than using wireless (as long as you use a Cat-5e or better cable). Just turn on +File Sharing+ in System Preferences Sharing pane on the MacBook. On the iMac, the MacBook should appear in the sidebar of any Finder window. Select it and click on the +Connect As+ button over to the right. Provide a username and password for an user account (on the MacBook).

  • Sync my existing iPad to new iMac

    Hi, I have just bought a new iMac computer which i have just tried to sync with my existing iPad.  I used to sync this iPad with my old laptop and when I now try to sync with the new iMac it says it will wipe all the date and replace with (not a lot) on my iMac!  I don't want to wipe whats on the iPad (photos).
    Also on my iTunes on my old laptop I have lots of music from old CD's that I downloaded. How do I get these onto my iMac????? The  only ones on my iMac are the ones I paid for on iTunes!  They are however on my iPad so can i somehow transfer them from that onto my iMac?

    Mike has answered half your question and the rest is implied. As he said, Migration Assistant will transfer your data (and applications if you wish) to the new computer. Note: Migration Assistant migrates the entire account, not just data so assuming you've started up your new computer and begun using it, after you've run MA you'll have two accounts - the old one from your previous computer and the one you've been using on your new computer. For this reason it is sometimes more convenient to grab any new files you've created on the new computer and put them on a flash drive and then erase the new computer and reinstall the OS so you can use Setup Assistant to recreate your old account on the new computer. (You'll have to restart in Recovery Mode to do this. See Mike's link above.
    Having moved your data from the old computer to the new one you can sync your iPad and everything that was on it will still be on it.

  • Synching iPhone and iPad with new iMac - former pc user

    I'm trying to determine to most efficient way to set up iTunes and synching of my iPhone 4 and iPad on my new iMac. I am finally moving away from using a pc and am facing the issue of trying to preserve all the content on my devices as I set up the iMac. I'm ditching the old oc iTunes library. The iMac will br the primary (and only) iTunes library going forward.
    I realize I'll need to manually transfer mp3 files from the pc to the iMac (those ripped from CDs and not purchased on iTunes) and re-establish the library. But how do I avoid losing all the aps and music I purchased on my old pc as I set up the iMac iTunes?
    I'm also interested in saving the contacts I've built on my iPhone - using that as the basis for my iMac contacts.
    I have no intention of using the pc again -- fully realize you cannot synch to two iTunes libraries.
    Any suggestions on how to begin to minimize hassle and minimize any file loss is much appreciated!

    Should try by copying the itunes folder from your pc to your iMac. That should work.

  • Synch ipad to (new) iMac

    My iMac harddrive crashed completely and had to be replaced.  It was not backed up.
    I am rebuilding my content on the new drive but i can't seem to fully synch my iPad and iPhone music, apps and photo albums in iTunes.  When I try, a message comes up and tells me they are synched to my prior library still and all that stuff will be erased from my iPad  / iPhone prior to re -synching with a new one.  I can't synch to the old library because it is dead.  How do i get these devices to to be friendly with my "new" iMac?

    What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

  • Old Mac Pro with 7.0 iPhoto transferred selected photo albums to my iPad. New iMac with iPhoto 11.0 will not transfer photo albums to my iPad. Why not?

    I just purchased the new iMac with the latest iPhoto. Transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac Pro. Upgraded iPhoto app and then tried to transfer photo albums to my iPad. New iPhoto will not allow transfer of selected albums, while old iPhoto did allow me to sync my selected albums to my iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

    I do not have Last 12 Months selected. I also do not have Events or Faces or any of those newer designations selected. I have literally thousands of photographs in iPhoto, which is why I keep the select, special few hundred or so I want on my iPhone in very specific albums. These are the albums I select to sync. However, not all of the photos in these albums are uploading to my iPhone. They were on my iPhone and synced perfectly fine until the switch to the new laptop this weekend. All files were migrated to the new laptop, and all files are there and viewable on iPhoto. Something is causing some of the photos not to sync. That is what I need assistance with....

  • Connecting on a new iMac G5

    Trying to help a friend get his new iMac G5 on to the net, transferred his old setting from his old mac running 10.2.8 which used a usb cable, connected to a external modem/single router which then goes direct to the phone line. But with the new mac's there is no setting for internal modem and hence we cannot set up his broadband connection to work using the usb port.
    Any help greatly welcome

    I'm not clear about all the details, but I am assuming you are talking about a DSL modem with only a single USB port connection for the computer, not a regular dial-up modem, which is what an internal modem network port setting would be for on Macs that support them.
    If this is the case, I'm afraid your friend will need a DSL modem with an ethernet port or wireless link because Tiger doesn't seem to support high speed USB modem connections. (Apple sells a USB dial-up modem for the new iMacs -- see http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA0 34Z/A -- but I don't think from your "broadband" comment that this is what you want.)
