Just bought a Mac but music on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad which all sync together is not coming up on the new Mac - help please
ust bought a Mac but music on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad which all sync together is not coming up on the new Mac. I think I have turned on iCloud but still nothing.
It does not magically appear, unless iTunesMatch is turned on.
Copy the media (the ENTIRE iTunes folder) from the old computer to the new computer

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?
If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

Hello All:
What to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to respond to this post:
We just had a 600 laptop image delopoyment of macbook pro's and since we
were rushed to do this in one day…. i forgot to connect them to wireless before
creating an image. (worked from 5am ~ 5 am)
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO create a login script, where to place it,
and how to push out wireless setting so when a user logs in, it would automatically
bind them to a certain wireless?
We want to strictly do this through our Mac os x server snow leopard.
Please help as I am going back this Sunday to resolve this. I will have to
manually open up 600 laptops and add them to the wireless if i don't
find out a solution.THANKS A BUNCH!
BUT!!!
can you help me create a script with this information.
You led me to the right direction. I will be using mac os x server and doing login script.
here is what i typed up so far but i don't know how to make the file. I know the command to run throgh shell but do not know how to make the file run so when i put it in login script it will place this wireless setting on all computers.
They are ging to be using this information:
/usr/sbin/networksetup -addpreferredwirelessnetworkatindex Airport atams 0 WPA2 [F3fd+mi7yV]]
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportnetwork Airport atams F3fd+mi7yV
-removepreferredwirelessnetwork Airport heritage
I did this on terminal and it worked. so how can i know deploy this to all laptops that are directly plugged in. -
I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -

I have a mac os x 10.6 and don't know why I am not able to update to '09. Help please!
It is, but only when installed from an iWork 09 DVD(places such as Amazon and eBay may sell these) and not from the Mac App Store.

My contacts and groups are not duplicated in iCloud but my groups are duplicated on iPhone and iPad. Any ideas on how to remove duplicate groups or why they are duplicating?

Check that you don't have more than one account in your contacts, such as 'iCloud' and 'On My Phone'. -
im trying to sync notes on my iPhone and iPad with my new MacBook pro.
Although I don't see the generic "apple notes ap" on the macbookpro. Any suggestions?eww,
When I first opened the mail i didn't have the option of the "go to" and choose notes because i hadn't created the mailbox. I 've only had the mac for 3 days. None the less I created the notes mailbox which apparently falls under "Reminders".
Will this "notes mailbox" eventually sync with my ipad and iphone. I have created several notes on the ipad but still don not see them in the "notes mailbox" on my mac?
Thks very much! -
My iphone and ipad are stil synchronized but Calendar does not sync with Outlook since I upgraded the PC to windows 8.1
You may answer in English, Italian or French...
Thanks for Help!!!All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

How can I backup my files on an iPhone and iPad? I have a PC, not a MAC computer.
I would like to backup the files on my iPhone and iPad. I usually back them up on a regular PC and external hard drive (a WD My Passport). I do not have a MAC computer.
iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your PC, or to iCloud.
See this Apple document for more information about iOS backups:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support -
I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad. Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive. I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud. Thoroughly confused and frustrated. Hope someone can help.
Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up. Any thoughts?If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account. Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.
