Connect to iPhone and Get Data

How can I get my OS X 10.5 Leopard app to communicate with my iPhone. For example, I would like to copy my text messages off the iPhone.

No need to connect to the phone for this - you can extract the messages from your backup (the one iTunes creates on your local folder) - use "iPhone Backup Extractor" to get the SMS.db from your backup (it is a pretty simple SQlite DB which contains all your SMS messages):

  • HT1977 I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

  • On a west Texas highway I believe my old 3G iphone could get data with 3 bars. My new 4S could make phone calls but not get data. An att guy told me it's because there aren't enough 4G towers yet. Other explanations?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • Hi, I got a new iPhone that I havent uploaded to my iTunes yet I had pictures and contacts. I accidentally said to restore it as my old iTouch. Is there a way I can change it back to my old iPhone and get my pictures and contacts back? Thank you

    You would need to check if you made a back up of the iPhone on iTunes/iCloud before you restored from the ipod touch back up. If there isnt then im sorry that data is gone.

  • Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

    OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

    Yes that is what I observed.
    There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

    That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.

  • How to authorize different computer to sync iphone and get itunes

    how to authorize a different computer to sync iphone and get purchased itunes

    FIRST, copy the iTunes folder from your old computer to the new one BEFORE YOU RUN ITUNES for the first time. Depending on your computer it will be in the Music or My Music folder. Copy the entire folder, including the iTunes Library file and the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folders.
    Install iTunes and Authorize it to the same account as the old computer on the Store menu.
    Connect the iPhone. Set up syncing with desktop apps on the Info tab.
    Sync the iPhone.

    ok i just downloaded itunes to my PC and connected my iphone and its asking to download apple mobile devices support then install itunes ....what do i do please help meee

    Sounds like your file really is downloading but you just don't know it.  Check your Downloads folder to see if it's there (and give it enough time to complete!).  You will get the "thank you for downloading" page even though the file is just beginning to download.
    If iTunes still isn't downloading, then clear your browser's cache and and try downloading again.

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.

    Hello gman0700.
    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to produce audio through an HDMI connection. I apologize for the late response, but I will do my best to assist you. Before anything else, please answer these questions:
    1. What is the current computer's operating system? Does the same behaviour occur on multiple operating systems?
    2. The title seems to imply that there is no audio when connected to a television, using HDMI. Does this only occur when you connect to a television? Will it occur if you connect to something else using HDMI?
    3. Have you tried connecting to a television using VGA or DVI? If so, what are the results?
    As an additional suggestion, for now, I would review the television's manual to confirm that everything is correct from the television's standpoint.
    Please post this information as soon as you can. Thank you posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Mario
