Back Up Old Macbook (new one stolen after one day)

I'm trying to backup a macbook pro that we are now using again because the macbook air that had taken its place on the Time Capsule was stolen on the first day of use. Do I have to re-name the macbook pro that has been used since then?

Ok, sorry I didn't follow ..
So the new MBA inherited the old Mac backups.. and now you need to change back.
You might simply find the change back impossible.
See Pondini. B5, B6 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
But I think you might just need to start afresh.. do a clean backup.

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no synced,

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

You have to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud on all your devices and then sign back in again.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

How do i give a old i-phone back and get a new one cheaper

I have old i-phone that doesn't work and i wanna take it apple and get a new one.
What do i do?

Apple doesn't buy back old iPhones or exchange for new...you can try selling on eBay or some other place as a non-working unit and see what you can get for it. To get a lower price iPhone you usually have to buy with a contract for a carrier which locks you in for a period of time.

HT4528 I bought an iphone 5 in Sept from Best Buy, it lost power after just a few hours, took it back and even the new one only lasts a few hours, so I must always have it turned off, until I use it. help!

I bought an iphone 5 in Sept at Best Buy, after a few hours it lost power, so I returned it. Even the new one lost power after a few hours if left on. I do not have bluetooth on. I must always have it shut off now until I go to use it. Any suggestions? Is this normal?

Perhaps these suggestions will help:

Noisy left fan on brand new MacBook Pro 15" (started after 4 days)

The left fan (just under the speaker) is making noise, sounds as if it's catching on the casing or something.
Problem is, the Macbook is non-standard (hig-res matte display) and I need it painfully much for the next two monts - it was bought specifically for the purpose of major jobs.
Is it possible to have it fixed in a day or two or does it require ages and ages?
Thanks!

My MBP (Mid 2009) just started doing this on the left side, and I've had it apart several times trying to clean and re-lubricate that fan. The sound is not as bad now, but the increased fan noise is still present and I'll be shelling out $50 for a new one probably tomorrow. I'm putting up a YouTube video so you can hear the awful noise it was making last night (harbinger75 movies there).
Mine's not under warranty anymore, and I've been a Mac/PC tech for years, so it takes all of fifteen minutes to change one out.
Hopefully, they'll just replace the fan for you.

Cannot download or watch old or new video podcasts after iTunes directory reorg

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive. That seems to have worked fine except for the issue described below.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder. I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. In both cases the video podcasts remained in the original or old folder location. In the case of the mixed video and audio it just left the video episodes in the old folder and moved the audio podcasts.
If I select a new video podcast from the itunes store and download it, I cannot view it in itunes. An example of a new video podcast I attempted to download is "MinutePhysics". The podcast will display as one of my podcasts in itunes but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. It looks like it is downloading to my hard drive but after it downloads I cannot locate the file in any directories.
In Advanced Preferences on the Advanced tab I have checked and unchecked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and that does not make a difference checked or unchecked.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. Thanks for the reply.

Recovering Old Datas on New Drive + Setting Airport Extreme Base Station old and new ones

Hello All,
Situation:
-iMac 24" Alu/2008/2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/ 2Go DDR2 SDRAM
-2 Airport Extreme Base Stations mushroom type,
-1 Airport Extreme Capsule Model: A1143
The original 320 Go Hard Drive of my iMac crashed few months ago. A "technician" installed a new Hard Drive 235 Go while trying to recover all datas from old one. Failed.
No back up. The old disc needs to be unlocked in a dustless atmosphere. Quite expensive at the moment.
I decided to install OS X from sratch with the original Install Disc delivered with my iMac.
OS X is 10.5
Once on line I updated all pre-installed softwares. Among which Aiport Utility 5.6.1 today.
Problem:
I would like to get bigger hard drive disc, 1To for example. Does this still exist for this iMac 2008 Alu ?
How can I do to get my iMac again to OS X 10.9 ?. Does this mean I need to buy all intermediate levels again ?
How do I get my softwares (the ones on the original Disc: Pack office, Pages, Numbers, etc ...) back on track again, since my iMac is now more like down to factory level ?
Extending my internet provider from the WiFi router via my 3 Airport Extreme Base Stations: 2 mushroom type that need OS X + Airport Utility softwares at a certain level, while the Capsule might need another level. Right now I tried to set up the 3 of them with this Aiport Utility and though they all recognize the provider network, I can never conclude to extend it with the Base Stations: it drops the case. (WDS trouble which I don't even know what it is, or the Base Station simply desapears from Airport Utility scan, ...)
Thank you all for you attention.
Your comments are welcome especially if you have any knowledge on these various subject.
Can't wait to read your piece of advice.
Lionnel From Paris (France).

me too... i connected my hard drive with all my music but i cannot see any of the music that used to be in my itunes... i checked and its there (when I connect the HD directly to my computer) but not when is plugged into the Airport Extreme... Please help!

5-yr-old Macbook disconnects from wifi after 2 minutes -- why?

Starting about 2 months ago, my 5-year-old black Macbook (running Mac OS X 10.4.11) has barely been connecting via wifi. It seems to be able to connect to private networks it's familiar with if it is literally within 5-10 feet of the router. Otherwise, it will connect at full strength for up to about 2 minutes, and then suddenly without any warning dips down to one bar, and then promptly disconnects completely, does not detect any networks. If I restart the computer it will go through the same pattern. Is this a hardware problem related to age? A software problem related to uninstalled updates? A virus? Thanks for your help.

How to make ipod shuffle 4th to play podcast in normal order from old to new ones?

It plays only in crazy reverse order from new to old podcasts. I've looked through bunch of forums but didn't find adequate answers. Stupied Apple, it even doesn't have normal support......

The only way you can control the order of podcast episode playback is to put them on a playlist (in iTunes), in any desired order. Then, sync that playlist to the shuffle.
On the shuffle, set the power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. Use VoiceOver to select that playlist. The podcast episodes should play in playlist order. Another advantage of this method is being able to "mix and match" pisodes from different podcasts on one continuous playlist.
You can set up the iPod's Podcasts screen in iTunes to select this playlist under Include Episodes from Playlists, which automatically synca changes you make to the playlist (in iTunes) to the shuffle, the next time the shuffle is connected.

My screen went completly yellow green color took forever to get it to power back on do i need to take the phone back and get a new one?

Does any know why the screen turned completley yellow when my battery died??? I just got the phone today and wanna know do I need to return the phone I fixed it after I youtubed how to fix it! Will this keep happening??

Just get it exchanged.

Keyboard cover compatible between old MacBook & new MacBook Pro?

Hello all,
I have a silicone keyboard cover for my first generation white MacBook. Will it fit the new chicklet style keys on the new MacBook Pro?
Thanks!
Steven

I second that. Just tried my friend's iSkin keyboard cover for the previous generation MacBook and it fit perfectly on my new MacBook Pro.
Actually, I just went over to iSkin's website and they also say that their MacBook skins fit the new MacBook and MacBook Pro.
