Backup iPad Synched with Mac onto New iPad on a PC

Hey all,
I have the below setup
iPad synced with Mac (iPad 2 32gb - iMac Maverics)
This will be my new setup
New iPad Mini synced with PC
My question is this.. I have stuff I want to backup on my old iPad like notes / documents etc that I don't want to lose.. The music & photo's can obviously be transferred via usb to my Mac from my PC.. Can this be done or should I just back up the documents / notes manually and start from scratch?
Many thanks,
J

Hello ottomanempire,
Congratulations on your new iPad mini and computer! It sounds like you would like to transfer content from your current iPad to your new iPad mini, specifically your notes and documents.
I recommend following the steps in the article below to do this. This article outlines using iCloud or iTunes. You can do this using iTunes on either computer:

IPad calendar fails to synch with Mac mini

How can I fix a recent failure of iPad calendar to synch with Mac mini? iTunes no longer saks me about ocnflicts between the iPad and the computer.

While waiting, I found the fix in another thread:
Open iSync on main computer with iPad attached and turned on.
Choose "Reset sync history".
That is all there is to it. The "Sync" still did not recognize two events scheduled for the same time, one in one sub-calendar on the iPad, and in another one on the Mac Mini. I wound up with two choir practices, one in blue and one in pink on both devices. Should it have noticed these and asked me about them?
I also read elsewhere that it messes up the iPad to change an event from one calendar sub-heading to another. I will avoid doing that in the future.

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

How do I link the backup history from old mac to new? I cannot seem to do this through migration assistance.

I want to transfer the backup history associated with my old mac (which is on my airport time capsule) to my new mac. I used migration assistance to transfer everything from my old mac to new, but the backup history did not link. I tried using migration assistance again but it does not seem to allow me to link my backup history to the new mac. I am running out of ideas and please help.

B5. Would you like to inherit (or re-use) the backup . . . ?

Ical not synching with .mac account

We have our set up in our preferences to sync ical with our .mac account, so we can access it away from home. Everytime we log on to our account, it still show it hasn't ben synched, although when I go in the preferences, it shows the box checked so it should sync. Any suggestions? This is frustrating, because it is showing not synched in .mac account and synched on my computer....

iCal does get synced with the .Mac servers, but there is no webinterface available for calendars. However, you can sync your iCal between multiple Macs using that feature.
The only way to access your calender using any machine and the web is to publish your calender. See here for more details:

Mail has stopped synching with .mac

Hi there ... not sure why but Mail has stopped automatically synching with my .mac account. I haven't changed any settings and it has been working well for almost a year. For some reason now I need to go to the menu "Mailbox -> "Synchronize .Mac Account". I am using OS 10.3.9. Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Address Book won't stop synching with .mac

Address Book keeps Syncing with .mac even though I don't want it to and I did not extend the free .Mac trial.
I turned off "Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac" in the Address Book preferences.
I can not however turn off "Synchronize with .Mac" in the .Mac preferences (it is dimmed) and even though it says "Manual" the Address books continues to sync and leaves me with an empty address book every day!!!!!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for a quick response. I don't see a way to print the address and phone number on a mailing label either. Some people still like their paper address books and I thought printing labels would make it a lot easier to read and I could just print labels for Christmas cards - instead of handwriting them. nice thought, I guess.
(note to apple: please fix in your next update)

Backup and synching with a Windows Server, what 3rd party software do I need.

I have a Macbook Air. We just got a new Server, a Dell PowerEdge T420 running Windows Small Business Server 2011 CAL Suite.
I am told my Macbook Air will not Snych to backup files from a defined folder (like My Documents) and e-mail in Outlook. Mac's can't do that.
I don't believe that is true. Can anyone give me direction. Is there some 3rd party software that allows Mac to do this?

Hello Charlene,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Cant Synch CD songs onto new computer

Got a new computer, have music from CDs I put on my Ipod. Cant synch them onto my new computer's Itunes, only the ones I bought off there directly. How can I get my CD songs onto Itunes from my Ipod?

You copy them from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer.
The ipod is not a backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases.

Using Lightroom CC with Mac's new Photo app

I now own Lightroom CC and I have upgraded my Mac to the OS with the Photos app. So I no longer can use iPhoto or Aperture. How do I open "Photos" under the Pictures heading to pull the data for all my photos into Lightroom? I can't make a copy (as has been recommended) because I have too many photos.

The new Photos app does not work in the same way as iPhoto and can't be used to edit photos in external applications. If you have not removed iPhoto you should be able to use the built-in plug-in from LR CC. Alternatively export versions from iPhoto to the desktop or named folders in Finder. Then import the versions into LR using "Add"

Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

Good morning fellow Elementites.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue? None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
Eager to hear,
Regards.

I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling. Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
I opened an image in PSE 12.
I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
Another window opens.
There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
(There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog. I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
I then click OK and the box goes away.
I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
A window titled PRINT opens.
The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos. It is the Presets box.
I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window. But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies. I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case. LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed. FAST and FINE on Plain Paper? I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that. SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings. And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method. (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
QUALITY & MEDIUM. I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH. I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking. And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
Phew. So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.
Regards,
P.

HT3231 Trouble transferring Office for Mac onto new Macbook Pro Retina

I just transferred Office 2011 from my old MacBookPro to a new MacBookPro w/ Retina but it says "The Office for Mac installation did not complete successfully because there was a problem with the installer. To fix the issue please reinstall Office for Mac." My original installation of Office was via a disk with an enclosed Product Key. The new MacBook doesn't have a DVD drive. Can I just download a new copy of Office and use the old Product Key or is there another solution??

Yes as Kappy points out or you could make a DMG of the Office DVD and copy that over to your new MBPr. Or you could buy an external DVD drive and it does not have to be an Apple brand DVD drive. Any USB external DVD drive will work. Best to get one that is Tray Load instead of the Slot load that Apple uses.

HP C7200 printer/scanner not working with Mac after new router installed.

I recently had my DSL modem go out and replaced it with a combo modem/wifi router. Since the install, my mac can't detect my printer. If I install it via the printer's IP, it'll detect ink levels for a day or two, but still won't print, and won't even detect the scanner. It says the printer is off-line when I try to print. I've rebooted everything, reset the printing system, downloaded updates, and downloaded the latest HP software. Nothing helps. So much for "just works".
My little Windows 7 computer was totally trouble-free after I reinstalled the printer.

If the printer does support Bonjour and it does not appear in the Default Add Printer view then I would say that the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer (and the Win7 PC). This could also explain why you can add the printer via IP but it won't print.
If the Mac is definitely on the same IP subnet as the printer then check you don't have an application running that could block Bonjour.
With regards to IP queues, ensure you select HP Jetdirect rather than the default of IPP (Win7 will be using Jetdirect which is known as Port 9100). Also, some drivers cannot be used with network connections. If the printer supports Postscript then try a Generic Postscript printer to test. If it doesn't support PS but supports PCL then there is a Generic PCL Laser driver you would try.

How to find or bypass the password for unlock backup for iphone with mac?

Hi,
My Iphone is not working for some reason and i realy need the information that was on it.
I have a backup in my itune and i tried to download it to my ipod using the "restore from backup" option.
Unfortuanlty, it asked me for a backup password which i've never put and without it i can't get into my backup information.
Is there any way to bypass it or find the password somehow?
I've tried to find it in the keychain accses (i'm using mac) but didn't find anything there
it is realy frustrating..
Tnxs

If it asks for a backup password you or someone else put one on it. Without the password there is no way you can recover the backup.
But -- is is asking for the backup password, or for the phone password? You cannot restore a backup from one phone to another phone without the unlock code for the phone. This is to prevent someone from stealing your data.
But in general, if there was a way around a password what would be the point of having a password?
