So the iPhone is not showing up in iTunes?
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a USB port on the side of the MacBook, using the cable that came with it. Also, disconnect any other USB devices connected to the MacBook.
If the issue persists after directly connecting the iPhone and reinstalling iTunes, try removing and reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Service as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Why is photostream not working together with my macbook and iphone?

Photostream is not working togther with my macbook and iphone. How can I sync it?

Has it ever worked?
If you recently turned on photo stream on the mac and iphone, then (on the iphone) only new photos are included in photo stream, old ones are not.
But syncing to your mac (if the photos originate from the iphone) is critical. That's how you store photos (they can easily disappear on the iphone due to many "issues" that can occur, and relying on an icloud backup is not safe - to many users have lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.
So be sure to begin by doing a sync to the mac using itunes/iphoto with a USB cable.

Syncing outgoing email on MacBook and iphone. Read loads of posts but still can't resolve...

Ploughed my way through loads of previous posts but have yet to find a solution.
It's that age old problem: I want to sync email on MacBook and iPhone so that changes on either device are reflected on the other.
Everything other than mail is synced succesfully via iTunes so no problem there. My email server is oneandone and accounts on both devices are IMAP. Incoming mail shows on both accounts but outgoing mail is only shown on the device the action was performed on.
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Am running 10.6 with a MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S.
Thanks
Nick

I have never found a solution (and I have looked). As I recall, if you uncheck "store sent mail on server" all the mail looks like it is sent from me.
I send a little mail from my iPad, but most of it is from my MacBook Pro.
I realize this has not resolved the issue, but I thought it would, at least, indicate that you are not alone.

Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

I have 2 icloud accounts how can i see them both on my macbook and iphone

iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

Why does iCal look different on iPad than on Macbook and iPhone?

Is there a way to get my calendar in my macbook and iPhone to have the same visual interface as the calendar on my iPad? Is there certain software I need to download? I just don't like the format of the iCal on my my computer and iPhone, and finally they have a good format but only for one of my products.

I have no answers for you on this one, but I agree. I enjoy the layout on my ipad, but it seems that iCal is falling behind in its formatting. With a new iLife out there, and OSX Lion out in the open, you'd think they could make the interface a whole lot better on MacBook if they are offering it on iPad.

When travelling from US to UK and France what do I need to charge macbook and iPhone?

When travelling from US to UK and France what do I need to charge macbook and iPhone?

Just a pin converter and your Apple US Power adapters (100-240v 50/60Hz)
The European sockets take 2 x round pins, adapter available from in most drug stores carrying travel aids as is the UK pin converter.
UK is heavier 3 x rectangular pins

How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc. When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition. I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice). Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files? It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
Thanks!

You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive.
Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Backing up data on old MACBOOK and iPhone 3

Hi all,
What is the best way to help my friend back up her data?
I have a friend with an older white MacBook running I believe 10.5 and an older iPhone three or three GS
Currently the MacBook has only 10 gigs free
And her iPhone 3g has over 4000 pictures
As far as I know nothing has ever been backed up before! Yikes!
GOAL : back up all her MacBook and iPhone data
Question: what is the best course of action?
MY THINKING…
1 - get an external drive and back up the computer first using carbon copy cloner or superduper
2 - empty some space so that the MacBook has many more gigabytes to work with
3 - back up (SYNC) the iPhone to the MacBook - now that there are more gigabytes free
4 - now back up the MacBook second time with all the Data from the iPhone included
Q: Is that the best way to go?
ALSO…
As a short-term solution I was thinking if I could attach her old iPhone three to my MacBook Pro which is already synced to my iPhone five
Q: - if I connect her iPhone three using USB– Can I just use image capture out to grab all her photos for safety? With that in any way screw up her syncing connections to her MacBook later? What about My iPhone 5 after….. ex… what devices are connected it asks if you want to trust this computer? Can someone explain exactly what that means– And how it affects your main computer syncing later?

any help would be appreciated on this

Mail crashing after update (itunes 9 and iphone os 3.1)

I am experiencing Mail crashing on 3GS after the update. Is anyone else seeing this? Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Had this problem yesterday while syncing my iphone to PC. iTunes asked if I wanted to upgrade to iTunes 9 and iphone 3.1. I agreed. The sync failed saying it couldn't identify my iphone and then asked me to restore my iphone.
I had to do a restore to get 3.1 loaded (first time I've had a problem with an update) but I did get it done .. then had to reload all my apps, audio, video with a 1+ hr sync.
But it did works .. and no problems of any kind (and my email works just fine)

I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone. However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices. The calendar seems to be working. Any suggestions?

On the iMac and MacBook open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts, then reselect it then restart the Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then restart the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
