Recovering sync'd contents from an un-updatable computer.

My 3GS had always been sync'd to an older PowerBook G4, which can not be updated to iTunes 10, I just got an iPhone 4, which isn't compatable with iTunes 9, how do I get my contacts, photos, and such?

If you were using your phone as intended, you would have been synching your 3GS contacts with Address Book on your PowerBook G4.  Transfer your contacts from that computer to a computer that's compatible with synching withthe iPhone 4. 
Do the same for your photos:  copy the iTunes library from the PowerBook to a new computer. 
You can also move your iTunes folder from the PowerBook to a new computer so you can synch all your iTunes media as well.

  • Sync Certain Content From A Different User Account On Same Mac?

    With the iPad, is it possible to sync certain content from a different user account on the same Mac? Is this possible?
    Imagine a MacBook with 2 user accounts on it. User A has an iPad and wants to sync their own Music to it. However, User A wants User B's iPhoto library synced to their iPad. User A also wants User B's Calendars synced to their iPad.

    Alternatively, is it possible to only sync one-way, from a MacBook to an iPad? What I mean is, is it possible to sync your iCal data from a MacBook to an iPad, but prevent any changes on the iPad getting synced back into the MacBook?

  • TS2972 I am having problems streaming content from iTunes on my computer to the Apple TV.

    I cannot stream content from iTunes on my computer to my Apple TV (latest model).
    I have checked the following -
    iTunes Version 11.1.5.5
    No Windows updates outstanding for the computer
    Home Sharing is turned on in both iTunes and the Apple TV
    The wireless network appears to be OK
    iTunes connects to the Store so the computer is OK
    the Apple TV connects to external content - You Tube etc
    I have opened up TCP/IP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 in the McAfee Firewall
    When I turn on the Apple TV and check the Computer Icon, I get the following message -
    "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using "..the Apple ID...".
    Where to next?

    Well, after 1 hour of phone support and 90 minutes of on-line support, McAfee finally resolved the problem.
    If anyone else has a similar problem, tell McAfee to look at Service Request 1443603280.

    How do i sync my email contents from my PC to my IPOD Touch?   Thanks

    It depends upon what mail provider you use. You might not be able to sync but you should be able to set up the Mail app on the iPod to to acces your account.
    If it is an IMAP or Exchange account those account synce among different devices. If yo have a POP3 account those do not sync.

  • Transfer content from iPhone to new computer

    My new laptop's hard drive crashed, leaving me with a blank slate in regards to iTunes. However, I still have all of my content on my iPhone. How might I transfer all my content onto my laptop from my iPhone, without using Home sharing, as all of my media files were wiped out?

    If you haven't shelled out for a third party app yet see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. There is a no cost way of retrieving the media. It may require more effort on your part to extract the media and any metadata that you want but it might even do a better job. Last three entries in the table in particular.

  • How to transfer iMessage content from old to new computer?

    Just bought a new laptop and was manually transfering files. I wanted to know if you guys have any way of bringing the iMessage content from my old Macbook Pro to my new one, so that when I open iMessage on my new laptop, all my old convo's will be there.
    I have accessed the hidden iMessage folder on my old computer and tried transfering that, but it didn't really work.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    In Mountain Lion the Folder to start with is ~/Library/Messages (NOT iMessages)
    This holds the Archive folder for all saved Chats (iMessages and Buddy list chats)
    It also has several chat.db items.
    The database items can be "transferred" to the the new Mac in the same Folder.
    You are likely to have to change Ownership and Permissions on each. (this applies even if you are "Peter Kassel" on both computers  as one computer can tell the file "belongs" somewhere else).
    The Archive folder needs to end up in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages
    You will need to replace the Archive folder already there and change Ownership and Permissions again AND then apply those changes to the contents.
    Open a Finder window
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library from the Menu.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages
    Move the Archive folder into the Messages folder.
    Now Right Click the Archive Folder and choose the "Get Info " option
    In the Info Panel that shows up scroll to the bottom.
    Add the Shortname for your Mac User Account on this computer.
    Give it Read and Write permissions.
    Use the cogwheel icon below the list and then make your self the owner.
    In this  pic I already Own the file/folder.
    As you can see I have had to unlock the padlock as well.
    Once you are the Owner use the "Apply to enclosed items"
    This will then change the ownership of all the Saved chats to your User account on this Mac.
    Repeat for the ~/Library/Messages contents (the databases) one by one.
    You will not have to do the contents change on this.

  • HT1451 My 2004 iPod doesn't work with my new Windows 8 computer. If I get a new iPod nano, will I be able to sync my content from my old iPod?

    If I replace my 2005-era iPod with a new nano, will I be able to sync my existing content? Currently my Windows 8 will not allow me to access my music, etc., although I can see it. Took forever to event get iTunes to recognize my device--lots of removing of Apple software, downloading again, etc.

    You can sync from your computer to your ipod.

  • My iPhone wont sync my music from iTunes, all updated software and plenty of GB free space.. what's going on? It says error (13019).

    Just recently I bought a bunch of new albums on iTunes, and when I plugged my iPhone 4 in to sync the music over, it went through all 5 steps in the viewer box, but at the end it said, "The iPhone "andrea's iPhone" could not be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)."
    I have no idea what this means, all my software is up to date and my phone still has 8.6GB of free space left (it's a 32GB) and I'm only trying to add 20ish songs.
    Anyone have this sort of issue or error warning before? I figured I'll have to go into an Apple store to really sort this all out, but thought someone on here might have dealt with something like this before.
    Please help!

  • "sync"ing songs from IPOD to new computer

    My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one recently. I have downloaded the latest ITUNES Software (7 I believe). How can I get the music on my IPOD to transfer into my ITUNES Library on my new computer? I am worried that the new ITUNES is going to erase all the songs on my IPOD. Thanks so much for the help.

    No. Fortunately I was able to transfer songs, however, none of the playlists were copied. The whole process of transferring songs from the iPod to a new computer is ridiculously scary; I've had to re-install songs from backups in the past - and it takes days. It's too cumbersome for an ordinary non-techie. The protected/purchased songs transferred easily from the iPod to the new computer. However, the 1,000s of other songs had to be copied as suggested using the iPod first as a removable drive to copy the library folders to the new computer, and then adding those files/songs through iTunes. That created "duplicates" of the purchased songs; I deleted the duplicates based on the Added Date in iTunes. The copied library folders were deleted after I verified the #songs in the new iTunes libary. I had to redo my playlists (viewing the old computer) and re-add a few podcasts. Adding the iTunes library was the most difficult task in setting up this new computer.

  • How do I run two Apple IDs with one computer and sync music content?

    I have a single PC which I have added all of the music to one my log in. My wife and I have Iphones and I want to run separate accounts for itunes, but sync music content from the single source to both phones. Whenever I have tried to do this in the past, it starts to sync all app to both phones. I tried to therefore have separate log ins on the pc itself, but when I have tried this, the music content does not update on my wifes itunes library, after I have added music to mine (ie imported a CD), even though I have linked my wife's music library for itunes purposes to my music folder (hopefully that makes sense!!). Can anyone help as this is driving me mad, otherwise I will just have to run from my account and delete all of my wifes apps etc whenever I sync my phone, and vice versa.
    Thanks!!!

    And then for content copy..
    --> Download the asembled SCAs from the old NWDI server and check it in in my new track OR
    --> sync the content from old NWDI server to the local filesystem and then upload/add it to the new track with the help of NWDS as described here:
