Back up Iphone 1st Gen to a new Imac
Could someone tell me, how can I backup my Iphone 8GB (1st Gen) to my new IMAC? I would like to the have the current contents of my Iphone back up in new IMAC.
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by back up.
When you sync a back up is done. It does not include music and photo library photos.
Why would you not move your info/music/pics/etc from your old computer to your new one?
Iphone will sync music and photos from ONE computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, the current pics and music will be erased.
If you have at least one unique contact and calendar entry in your new computer, then you will get the option to merge the data. If you don;t, then that will be erased as well.
It is much simpler to move the data from the old computer to the new one, then sync.

Hi there - a friend of mine is long term user of MobileMe and asks me if there will be a possibility for him to get his email on his old iPhone 1st gen after going to iCloud. Can anyone give me some insight on this matter? Thanks in advance.
On the first gen, he can't upgrade to iOS 5, hence he can't use iCloud, which requires iOS 5. His mobileme will eventually go out of service at the end of June, so he is definitely near the end of using his MobileMe email unless he gets a newer generation iPhone.

How Do I Back Up My 1st Gen Nano?
I've received the return box from Apple under the Nano 1st Gen Replacement Program.
Before I send it to Apple, I want to be sure I have backed up everything on the device so I can restore that data to my new replacement device.
I've been searching for over an hour for instructions that would help me do the back up and have found exactly nothing!
Why should this info be so difficult to find???
What I'd like to know is: How do I back up my 1st Gen Nano AND how do I restore the backed up data to my new, replacement device when I finally receive it?
Thanks for any help you can provide... BTW I use Windows XP Pro, but if you're feeling generous, perhaps you could post the steps needed to do these tasks in both Windows AND iOS.You can follow this guide to transfer the songs from your iPod nano to computer first, and then copy them to the external drive. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Calendar sync in Maverick with out iCloud, iPhone 1st gen
I would like to ask how to sync calendar with my iPhone 1st gen in Maverick? (With out iCloud??)
"Apple does not put your personal info into iCloud. You do."
Of course 'we do'. We are not robots as yet.
The point being that apple is trying to force us, i.e., eliminate all choice for those of us who are on mac platforms to have to use iCloud to sync our calendars. I do not want my personal information and the minutia of my daily life anyplace other than in my personal possession, thank you very much.
For the first time ever, I feel as if I may be forced to leave the Apple environment.
Maverick is a mess with too many problems and in reality is really in a beta state.
Sadly, Apple is loosing its luster. -

To activate your phone, you need a SIM card from the carrier to whom it's locked. The SIM needn't be active, but it needs to be present, nonetheless.

How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?
How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is isynced. The sync is oen way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything (files/docs/music/pics/contacts/calendars/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
How do I get around this? The iPad one has the most current iOS allowed for the 1st gen per settings.
Help!this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me... -
Unable to see my library to sync my iPhone and iPad on my new iMac.
I've just replaced my iMac and cannot see my library on the sync window.
I have entered the library location into preferences but it will not see the library at all.
Hence I am unable to sync music to my iPhone and ipadHi ..
Syncing your music can be done via iTunes connecting your devices via USB to the iMac.
This process is not done via preferences.
You may need to authorize the new iMac.
Launch iTunes.
From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer
Then sync your music > Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support -
