Can iPhone switch from Mac to PC?

I set up my iphone at my work which has windows. But at my home I have a Mac. So each time i plug my iPhone into my Mac nothing happens. Is there something I can do to change this???

Blake, you can use both a MAC and a PC with the same iPhone. Many posts have been made on this topic (search "sync multiple computers"). Lots of people (inculding myself) use a PC at work to sync Outlook calendar & contacts, use a MAC at home for tunes & video.

  • Can't place iPhone call from Mac (can receive calls though)

    -MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with Yosemite (10.10)
    -iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
    Both use same iCloud account and same FaceTime account. Both have 'iPhone Cellular Calls' enabled under FaceTime settings.
    I cannot place an outgoing call from my Mac. I've been getting an error 'iPhone Calls Not Available. Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account' but it does indeed..
    I tried to reboot both devices, signed out/in iCloud, played with the toggle-switches - still nothing. Though when I am receiving an incoming call on iPhone - I can take it on Mac.
    The only idea I have - my cellular provider is not supported by Apple FaceTime server so I've been using only AppleID to place FaceTime calls (no phone number used) and it's been working fine up to now. But if you go into FaceTime settings of my iPhone you see 'Activation unsuccessful.'
    Can anyone confirm if you can place calls from Mac with having FaceTime activated only by AppleID (no cellular phone number) on your iPhone?
    Thanks.

    I was able to get it worked after enabling iMessage/FaceTime with my phone number. This issue made me to find out a way to do that -)
    In case you are with WIND (Canada) here is the solution to activate FaceTime:

  • Switching from mac to pc and syncing iphone

    I am preparing to move from a macbook pro to a pc laptop. I have a first generation iphone that is synced over the air with exchange for calendars, email, and contacts. I currently sync with my mac for music through itunes.
    I plan to install itunes on the pc, copy over the itunes library from the mac to the PC, and authorize my itunes account on the new pc and deauthorize itunes on the mac. After I do all this and plug my iphone into the new pc I am thinking that the iphone will be re-formated to work with the pc but that all my settings should be the same. Am I missing anything? I hope to keep all my settings the same on the phone and keep all my music.

    Yeah, that's the first time I've heard that one (switching from Mac to PC). I know this doesn't pertain to your question, but why are you switching? I'm running Vista and my next comp will definitely be a Mac. In addition to AV, Antisypware, and a firewall, be sure to get a Registry cleaner and defragmenting program (unless you want to use the crappy one that comes with Windows). I'm looking forward to not having to spend so much time keeping Windows working right and money securing it.

  • HT1277 Switched from .mac to icloud & Mail rejects password

    Switched from .mac to icloud and now mail rejects my password.  Can't update user name to @me address either.  What should I do?

    How did you do that?  According to Apple, the system requirements for iCloud is OS X Lion 10.7.2 or later.  You posted in the Snow Leopard forums and your system info is showing "Mac OS X (10.6.8)"

    Remove the cwallet.sso file and check the wallet status in v$encryption_wallet.
    If it is not opened, try to open it with administer key statement.
    Check the status again.

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

  • Switching from mac to PC and using iTunes + iPod

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6 to Mavericks ?

    can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6 to Mavericks ?

    If you have previously downloaded Mavericks, and if your computer is compatible: see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    Otherwise, Mavericks is no longer available for download.

  • Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Same list as stedman1, but uses model numbers which is slightly more accurate.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.         Application Compatibility
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.

    Can i upgrade from mac os x v10.4.11 to snow leopar or do i have to buy leopard

    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard you do not need leopard.
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • Can not switch from organizer mode to editor mode in adobe premiere elements 12.

    After successfully installing and registering my new adobe premiere elements 12 and had created the organizer, I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).

    Alfredo Agorilla
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    You wrote
    I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).
    Just how are you trying to do that...
    a. Are you in the Elements Organizer 12 workspace, right clicking the photo's thumbnail, and selecting Edit with Premiere Elements Editor
    or
    b. Something else.
    Is there an error message that results when you try to switch "from organizer mode to editor mode" and cannot?
    When you mention "....to edit a file (photo)", I wonder if you are not trying to get to Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, not Premiere Elements 12 Editor, from the Elements Organizer 12.
    Please supply a step by step of what you are doing so that we can be sure that we are in sync on the details that we are using to work through your issue.
    Thank you.
