Syncing to .mac new problems
I have successfully been syncing my ical to .mac for more than a year. All of the sudden, in the past couple of days, my calendar has not been accessible to the people who need to see it (including me). I get this "We're having trouble fulfilling your last request. Please return to the .Mac home". I have tried unpublishing, changing the name of the published calendar, etc. All have the same effect. I use 10.4.x on a mac book pro.
I don't see others having this problem, so I am eager for any suggestions.
E
I have a similara problem. iCal will not publish an event to .Mac in week nr. 12 in March next year?
Is there a limit to how long in the future it will post events? I use it for business, it's pretty important.

My friend gave me his old touch, however it won't sync with my new mac but it charges the itouch so i was wondering how i could sync it to my iTunes.
Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you. -
I did the "home sharing" to get all of my music from my PC to my new mac (as told by a apple worker). Then I copied all of my music and playlists from the shared library to my actually itunes library. Now I don't know how to sync my iPhone up to this computer..? I've tried and it'll say it's syncing but the new song i bought to test it out won't show up on my phone.
When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire. -
What do I do if I have an older mac working great and I want to sync with my newer phone via iCloud?
I am really disappointed that my older Mac will not be able to use iCloud to sync with my newer phone. Has anything been done to remedy this problem. You make a great product that lasts, but it appears people are being forced to upgrade when nothing is wrong with their computers. Why support other brands but not your own. I want to continue to buy Apple products, but not if I am forced to upgrade before I need or can afford too.
I'm afraid that five years is a long time in computer history; and while an older machine will continue to work as well as it ever did you often can't take advantage of more recent developments in technology.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro. When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer. How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?
Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005. -

When I boot my Mac (Snowleapord 10.6) and attempt to start Firefox, the system alerts me that it cannot find the internet and requests that I try again. It is not until I start Safari, establish a connection that I can get firefox to work. This is a new problem. Until recently, things worked fine. How do I resolve this issue?
Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns -
A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?
Hello CarolineLongEaton,
I noticed you posted this problem quite a while ago and wondered if you managed to have it fixed in an alternative way then posting here. It is too bad no one has posted a solution here.

If you are interested in comparing the problems to see if your solution (if you have found one) might help me also then here is the link to the discussion.

Can I keep my app list when syncing to a new Mac?
I bought a new iMac as my main computer and want all of my family's idevices synced to the new mac instead of the old one. When I synced my iPhone, it kept my data fine, but it installed every app in my library that would fit on it (about 800 apps!) instead of the select few hundred I had installed on it before.
I want to sync my wife's iPod touch to it now but I don't want this same issue as it takes HOURS to go through and select the right apps. Is there any way to sync to a new computer and have only those apps that are already installed on the device be installed after the sync?
Thanks!Use the Mac Migration Assistant to more all the iTunes information to your new computer. This includes the backup of the iDevices. Then you should be able to restore the iDevices from the backup of the device.
Also, you might want to explain better how you transfered and synced with your new computer. -
I cannot download the latest version of itunes to my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to sync with my new ipod...any suggestions?
You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't sync that device.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
Some device models require Mac OS X 10.7.5 to sync.

IPad sync fails on new Mac Mini
Im trying to get my iPad 1 to sync with a new Mac Mini, but whenever I choose "transfer purchases" it gets stuck at "waiting for sync to start." I've restarted all sorts of things and tried to sync both over wifi and USB. It simply won't start, and I've tried for a couple days. I even tried erase and sync, but it still wouldn't start the process. Any ideas?
No ideas on this one?

Hello,
Only option is upgrading your Mac's OSX, since Apple will not allow iOS to go backwards.
