From a mac to a pc with iphone
Okay strange question here.
Is it possible to take an iphone that was used with a mac and use it with a PC? What will be lost? Is there a way to keep all the contacts, pictures, music and everything? Or ... Is there a way to export all the stuff and after setting up on a PC add my old existing stuff?
Here is the problem.
I have a mac and my partner moved. He used my mac to activate, and sync his iphone. He now has a PC with iTunes. The concern is loosing everything when plugging into his PC. Whats the best way to do this without loosing stuff.
You'll want to make a copy of everything he's got on his iPhone. Then he'll want to install all that stuff onto his PC before he syncs the phone. Music doesn't transfer from the iPhone like it does from an iPod, unless you buy it through the mobile music store. So if he doesn't have a song on his comp that he's got in his iPhone he's gonna loose it.
I transfered from a PC to a Mac, and had to make sure that my new library was holding everything in my old library. It's not so hard if you burn a disc like you suggested. Or as I did, and use a pin drive.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?
Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print. -
how do I get my songs from my Mac to play on my Iphone device? I see them in my music list but they don't play.
Click on the Audiobooks icon at top left of iTunes window. It should be there. You can then drag it to your phone, or in File > Devices you can Sync iPhone.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library. -

How Can I copy purchased books from my MAC book iBooks to my iPhone iBoooks
I wasn't sure where to put this because it has to do with my Macbook air and my iPhone 5S and iBooks on both units.
I am using iBooks version 1.01 (281) on my MAC book Air. My OS is OS X version 10.9.4 Mavericks.
About two weeks ago, I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S (64 gigabyte). I currently have iOS 8.0 on the iPhone.
So, I have lots of books that I have purchased over the years from iTunes and now iBooks. All of them have been backed up to the cloud. They were also backed up to iTunes on my MAC from my 4S.
I tried to download the books from my iCloud to my iBooks on the new 5S and it all worked. But there is one missing book. (Staying Strong by Demi Lovato) I have purchased this book three times from iBooks. All three purchases are still listed in my purchase history there. It is in my MAC book iBooks library (but no longer in iTunes because Apple separated the Apps a while ago). And I can read it there. But it is NOT in the iCloud for some reason.
Everything I find on the Apple site refers to iTunes which is outdated since it is no longer part if iTunes (now it's a separate app). Where can I find information on how to copy the book from my iBooks app library to my iPhone iBooks app so I can read it on my iPhone 5S? Is there a way to even do this? Do I have to buy it agin for the fourth time?
I don't want to go back to that lousy PC?When I connected my iPhone, it automatically synced right away. I did click on the iPhone button and saw the contents of my iPhone including the Books. When I clicked that 'Books' button. But since the book in question was not on my iPhone, it did not show up in the list so I could not select it like you suggested. Therefore I could not sync that book to my iPhone. Thanks for the help though.
The good news is I did manage to get the book on to my iPhone.
When her book came out for preorder about a year or two ago, I looked for it in the iTunes store and preordered it. About a week after it came out, I found what was basically the same book for a dollar more. ($7.99 and $8.99) I figured there must be something additional (features) in the $8.99 book. So I bought it too. As far as I could tell though, they were exactly the same. So I decided to hide one of them so they would not both show up in my Library. Anyway, I went to my iTunes/iBooks account and managed the hidden books area. I unhid the Demi book and then it showed up in my iCloud to download on my iPhone. Now they are both on my computer so I need to figure out which one is the other one and hide it. So then I can delete it from my computer just have the one that is on my iPhone on both systems. But at least I found a way to get a copy on my iPhone. -
I am unable to transfer my audio book from my Mac lap top to my iPhone. Can anyone help me?
I am unable to transfer my audio book from my Mac laptop to my iPhone. Can anyone help me?
Then restore from you Mac laptop's backup, if you have not been backing up then you may be in for a very painful lesson on why backing up is the VERY FIRST thing you should do with any new Mac. Create a backup plan and use it on a regular basis. If the laptop was using 10.5.x or later then you have absolutely no excuse for not backing up. Sorry for being terse and blunt but Time Machine has been built into 10.5.x, 10.6.x and 10.7.x so we have had years to have a seamless and mindless method of backing up. If you have been using an earlier verision of OS X there are quite a number of methods of backing up.
If you aren't successful then take the laptop and iMac to your local Apple Store or AASP and they may be able to help you recover your contacts. -
I just tranfer all my photo from my Mac from itune to my Iphone so I can setup Mac back to factory setting after I don't with that, I try to put my photo back to my Mac and Iphoto did not detect any of the photo that I had tranfer from itune it only detect the one rhat i took with the Iphone PLAESE HELP!!!!!!
Hello Partii,
It sounds like you may use a POP account for your email. With a POP account, email applications like Mail and Outlook can remove emails from the server, so when another device tries to check the server for new emails, it doesn't see any.
You may need to adjust settings in Outlook so that the emails are not removed from the server when downloaded. I found an article with more information:
When using a POP email account with multiple devices, email messages may only appear on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server once an email client has received it. You can configure your email client (or clients) either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your Inbox.
I recommend reviewing the full article for steps on adjusting these settings; you can find the full article here:

How can i delete stock photos from my Mac that are on my iPhone?
When I first synced my iPhone 4S to my iTunes on my macbook pro, I got a bunch of stock photos and icons used on my computers. I cannot delete them on my iPhone like you would delete a normal photo; the option to delete the photos is disabled,
The pictures take up a lot of space and I want to get rid of them.
I just updated to iOS7 and my iTunes has not been updated lately.
There are 488 of these photos and they are in an album called "last import- from my mac"ercueter wrote:
I have over 6GB of data taken up by old photos that I do not need. I can not figure out how to delete them because I downloaded them to my iphone from my ipod. is there a way to delete them without restoring my phone?
Do you mean that you synced them from iTunes to your iPhone? If so, you have to sync to iTunes again and change the selected synced photos. -

Boot the mini into TD mode
Connect it to the "other" Mac
Insert the install disk in the "other" Mac
Start the installer which will reboot the "other" Mac
Once the "other" Mac has restarted and is running from the install disk, you should be able to select the Mini's drive (the FW disk) as the install destination. If not, go into the Disk Utility (under the "Utilities" menu) and check out the FW disk. You may need to "repair" it, repair permissions or reformat it depending on the condition of the disk and the type of partition it contains. -

Using a mac and a PC with iphone 3g
I have an iphone 3g i was using with my old apple powerbook g4 i just bought an new PC and i want to update my phone using the PC it won't let me. Can you use a new computer to update and backup iphone 3g?
I use a backup software to save backups to the TC from windows... it is no big issue.. but the TC should never get any where near close to full.. TM takes a lot of space to work efficiently.. so make sure there is still more than enough space.. since TM will do hourly incremental backups it can grow rather quickly if you do lots of big file edits on the Mac.
Hanging a USB hard disk off a windows desktop is a better solution in lots of way.. it can be formatted native windows NTFS.. and is faster than TC without adding to network bandwidth.
But the TC is great for wireless with windows laptop same as Apple side.
