How to sync my Address Book data on my iPhone to my Address Book in my Mac and viceversa
Hi guys -- When I was using mobileme, any change I made on the Address Book of my iPhone would sync automatically to mobileme and to the Address Book of my desktop iMac, it was hassle-free.
Now that iCloud has replaced mobileme, how can I do the same?
I've already updated my iPhone 3GS to the latest iOS 5 and my iMac is running 10.6.8.
Do I HAVE to upgrade to Lion?? I don't want to.
Best!
You do have to upgrade to Lion to enable you mac to sync with iCloud, as it is built into OS X in System Preferences (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html). Once you do this you can enable syncing with Address Book, iCal, etc.

I have a new PC - great. But my iTunes library has now gone with the old PC. With a new iTunes library how do I get all my data from my iPhone to a new copy of iTunes on the new PC?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this? -
I don't know much, but I can follow instructions. How can I get my rental movie from my iPhone to my iPad.... And I've rented another movie, now I want to get it from pc to iPad....help be much appreciated...
Did you rent the film directly on the iPhone ? I've never rented films, but from : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
If you've rented a film on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to sync it to your iPad from your computer's iTunes via the Movies tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on its left-hand side -
I bought an app for my iPhone, I changed my PC for a Mac and when I sync it erase my app, I want to downloaded again but it says that I have to pay again what can I do?
How are you trying to re-download it, from within the store or the Purchased link ? You should be able to redownload it for free via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science. -
Hello, I have a (Company owned) iPhone 4 with upgraded IOS5 installed. I have 345 pics , several videos, notes, contacts, and my favorite songs(68 of them) in there. I must return the phone to my former employer. I have purchased a new phone with an SD card capable of 8GB external storage. I also purchased an 8GB flash/thmb drive per advice of the Verizon retail store that stated they can only transfer pics/contacts and failed to even do that after a 2 hour wait. so, how do I transfer my data from old iphone to new Gallaxy S Fascinate? Please! Thanks much... Deano
You can import photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Contacts and calendar can be synced to the computer as well to a supported application. How to transfer them from there is something I don't know, unless the new device supports getting contacts from those programs. You can also sync your calendar and contacts to gmail and then you would be able to sync them to the Droid that way. songs are in iTunes and are saved on your computer if you have them added there. However they could be in AAC version which would mean you would have to convert them for the Droid. You might want to go to an Android forum, they may have information there about how to do it, since many Apple owners have switched to Android.

HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?
Hello!
I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) . How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mariabackup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.
Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know... -
How to sync pdf files on ipad wirelessly to iphone? [iOS]
I get everyday 10-15 new .pdf files, i open them, edit and save with a new name on my ipad (adobe app)
How do i sync those files wireless on my iphone?Hi,
You can either use (a) Adobe Document Cloud or (b) AirDrop.
(a) Adobe Document Cloud (the cloud storage formerly known as Acrobat.com)
Acrobat DC for iOS provides the integrated support for Document Cloud. (That's what "DC" stands for.)
You can sign in with your Adobe ID, open documents from Document Cloud, and save or upload documents to Document Cloud in the Acrobat DC app (desktop or mobile).
(b) AirDrop
Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you would like to use AirDrop on your desktop/notebook computer, you need a Mac running Yosemite.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
Hope this information helps. -
my phone doesnt have a lock on it and i want to wipe out all the data. how do i do that?
Use Find my IPhone on either iCloud, MobileMe or any other idevice. That is assuming you activated Find my iPhone on your phone. You can remotely lock it and see its location on a map. You can also remote wipe it but BEWARE you will not be able to track it once you have wiped it.

How to sync iTunes with iPad I am not getting any options in iPad except iTunes U and Podcasts
How to synchronize iPad with iTunes with new apple Id .I'm getting no options in
iTunes and App Store and in iTunes as well no options are being seen except ITunes U and Podcast .Currently Pakistan only has apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free ibooks, so you won't see music, films and TV shows - if/when they will be available there will depend upon when the content providers allow Apple to sell their content.
For music are there other music purchase download sites that you have access to ? If you do, and they are in a compatible format, then you should be able to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library and you can then sync them to your iPad. You can also copy your own CDs via your computer's iTunes -

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had it set up so that I manually sync and manage my music. Twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it had erased everything on my ipod. All the music on my itunes was still in my library, but all the other music was lost. I understand that I need to go back to the other libraries I got that music from, but how do I make sure that my ipod doesn't keep syncing and erasing itself? Also, now every five minutes a message will pop up on my itunes saying that it cannot sync because of an unknown error and then it has the number 13014. I have no idea what that is about. Does anyone else go through this? How do I fix it?
Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.
