Having issues with iphone sync

i have a 1st gen iphone that hasnt given me any trouble till tonight!! i have my been using itunes on a old pc to sync my iphone to. tonight i'm trying to sync iphone to my new mac mini so i can update to 3.1 and it keeps telling me that i'm basically going to lose everything because i've been syncing to the pc for like 2 years now. now heres the real kicker!! i'm not running outlook on the pc because i hate the program and refuse to buy microsoft office just for that program!! With that being said i've never backed up any of my contacts, or calendars! so my question is how do i get my contacts, calendars, photos, and music imported to my mac mini without losing this info??

Follow these directions, & you will be OK.
Launch iphoto(if you have it), connect your phone & import your photos into iphoto, only the photos in your camera roll can be imported this way, without third party software, you will lose the rest. Before you connect your phone to the new computer's itunes, launch itunes and make sure you "authorize" this computer(Store, Authorize this Computer). Next go to Address book and enter one contact, it can be a fake contact if you like. Do the same with iCal, again it can be a fake entry. When you connect your phone to itunes & get the pop up message, cancel out. Now, go up to File, Transfer purchases from this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased content will now be transferred to your new computer(music & apps> you will lose saved data in the apps). Make sure that you select manually manage & not auto sync when your phone is connected.
Now, if you do the above you will only lose photos that are not in the camera roll & music you may have ripped on your own. If you want to keep this stuff, then you will have to purchase 3rd party software like "phoneview", there are others, you can google to find more.
Now you can decide what you want to do. When you hit sync, if that's your choice, make sure you select merge during the sync process for ical & address book.
Remember, the iPhone only supports syncing with one computer at a time.

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Having issues with iTunes syncing to iPhone 5...

Both are up to date, iPhone has 7.0.4 and iTunes 11.1.3. Not all of my songs will sync onto my phone, only 63 out of about 500. Anyone else having this issue? Or solved it? Ahhhhh so frustrating!!! I've tried
-Turning off my find iPhone
-Selecting playlists instead of syncing all songs, all songs on playlist still don't show up
-Restarting phone
-Restarting my Mac
-And doing these in about every order you can think of for the past 3 hours
Help!

So I had the same problem with what you are having except I have an Iphone 4S but heres what i did to resolve.
1) Check the box for manually manage your music
2) Uncheck all songs you want.
3) Sync
4) Check all songs you want, after the 1st sync
5) Sync again but this time with all the music you want checked
6) Now your inforamtion bar for the GB reading will be weird, dont worry about it. After the sync check all songs on your phone. All should be playable.
Hope it helps!

Having issues with iPhone 6+ landscape rotation in AIR 16 (Released Jan 13th)

When rotating the screen from portrait to landscape the iOS status bar disappears and some buttons in my UI become unclickable.
I created a bug for it here.
Is anyone seeing this issue on other devices like iPhone 6 perhaps? The iPhone 4 with an older version of iOS doesn't have the problem.

I'm having a related problem.
On all iOS systems I've tested except the iPhone 6, the status bar rotates properly and gets displayed properly (white text). On the iPhone 6, it works perfectly in portrait mode. When rotated to landscape mode, the status bar disappears.
I have no offsets showing up on buttons or anything else. Everything on my part of the app works fine. I'm not using setAspectRatio. I am using Starling/Feathers.
I'd love to understand why the status bar disappears in landscape mode - it's making the app unreleasable.

Anyone having issues with iphone 5 earphone jack? .

Got my iphone early this week. When I plugged in my earphone and only 1 earphone is audible. Apple stored tested it and found it to be defective and ordered a replacement. I just got a new replacement. Came home, unpacked the box and tested my iphone 5. all looks good but when I plugged in my earphone into the earphone jack, I faced the same issue. Only the right earphone is working. the iphone 5 earphone works awesome on my ipad and my nexus. anyone having this same recurring issue? or it's just a batch manufacturing defect?

The problem is still going on. I bought the iphone 5 in December 2012. Right earphone doesn't work. Not sure i'm getting right channel through the speaker either. There is not an Apple store here. Will check with Verizon store tomorrow. No replies?

Anyone having issues with iphone 6 camera with purple colors and it freezing?

I'm not sure if this is iOS 8.0.2 related as I didn't take many pics with iOS 8 when I first got my iphone 6 activated this past Sunday, but my camera app has been acting up. Usually, when I move the camera around to take pics and it tries to focus, sometimes the screen will freeze or there will be a purple haze. It is worse in the slow-mo or video options. I've searched online and seen articles on chromatic aberration on previous iphones, but I think what I have is beyond that. I haven't seen people posting about my same issues, so I'm wondering if it's hardware related. Anyone else experience something like this? If I take it to the Apple Store, will they replace it? I haven't dropped my phone or anything- everything else seems fine, but it's been less than a week so far.

Are you expecting excitement from a gold or silver one?

Having Problems with iphones syncing with iTunes

First off, I restored my old iphone 3gs so that i can use just for music purposes, after restoring it would not show up onto itunes. I also have a iphone 4g which is always synced with cloud.

Hello Jbartrain,
I found a few articles with steps to help with your iPhones not being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. I recommend reviewing the following resources:

Having issues with iPhone & Picasa upload

So this has worked before...but doesn't seem to anymore. I just tried to import photos from the phone into Picasa and it gives me an error message saying,
"An error has occurred while attempting to import. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only.
(1)
How do I fix this? what's wrong?

Having the same issue. Had a 3G, upgraded to iPhone 4. First few Picasa downloads went fine. Went on vacation June 30, back on July 15. When I tried to retrieve the phone today (July 16), it seizes up and returns the error -- right when it gets to the new pics from our vacation. Mystified by this. Going to try and delete all photos before the error off my iPhone.

Anyone having issues with iPhone 5 time

My iPhone 5 keeps randomly changing it's time sporadically? I live in an area where there is no reason the time should change. It's not only my phone, a friend of mine who also has an iPhone 5 that is doing the same thing. In addition, the date will change. For example, on September 28th the date changed to September 7th. I am in Hawaii so there is no reason the time should change (daylight savings, time zones). Are there others experiencing this issue. I have the time set at auto.

I was told by Verizon corporate store that Apple would publish an update by mid-December. Well, guess what? It's coming up on mid-January and no update!
In order to keep my time, alarm and calendar accurate, I have to turn off the automatic time setting AND TURN OFF THE 4G LTE!
This *****, and after 2 months of it, I'm sick of it. When it's on 4G, this phone is smokin fast. I want my 4G Apple!
Why should we all have paid for an iPhone 5 and expected a better and faster phone, then end up with this crap? A phone with lousy reception compared to my 4S and one that can't keep time!
Let's get it done!!!

Issues with iPhone syncing

when i first got an apple device [ipod], my parents set it up so i had an apple id under my mom's name and that all my purchases/receipts would go through her.
i was fine with that.
then i got an ipod touch, and again, because i didn't have my own credit card and all my music was under her email's apple id, i had to continue using it.
then i got an iphone, and it's still under her email because of my music and apps.
i recently synced up my iphone for the first time with my mac under the same apple id i've been using for the past several years.
my mom decided to sync up her iphone for the first time ever, and decided to do it under the same email i'd be doing it under.
how do i stop the syncing of contacts and apps and favourites and whatnot between our phones?
is there anyway for her to change her apple id to another one, without resetting her iphone?

Connect the phone, in iTunes click on its name, then the Info tab in iTunes. Select iCal and Address book to sync your contacts. Your mom should do the same thing for her phone and computer; set it to sync with whatever apps she has on the Dell for addresses and calendar (such as Outlook). There's no poblem if you have different computers; your backups will be separate. You probably want to turn off automatic download of content to each of your phones (Settings/Store). This will keep all of your content separate except for content you want to share.
You will need to set up separate iCloud email addresses if you use iCloud, and turn off contact and calendar syncing with iCloud.

Having issues with Calendar syncing with my Outlook Exchange. It syncs 90% of the time when I enter an event on my IPad. How can I force a sync?

I use MS Outlook and sync my IPad Calendar, emails and contacts. When I create a calendar event on IPad, it syncs to my Outlook 90% of the time. Every now and then it doesn'r and I try to force a sync with no luck. What am I missing?

Ok after many hours of playing around with settings I found the solution....
By keeping the return button pressed.... (The square symbol by the power input port), u get a popup on the bottom of the screen which appears to be a list of apps that have been used. If u press on the app icon long enough u get a red minus sign to appear on all of them. If u press the red minus, the icon is deleted... If u delete all the icons and then return to the normal screen and enter Calander, you can now enter events.... Hope it works for u

Having issues with iTunes sync to iPod (5th gen)

Ok this is something that is getting rather annoying.
Every once in a while. When sync anything to my iPod from iTunes. Sometimes iTunes will hang up. Then sync icon on my iPod does show up and spinning.
However nothing gets sync to the iPod. I then have to close out iTunes. Then restart iTunes. And everything seems to work for a while.
I to have the current version of iTunes (11.0.4.4.)
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I do have the 64-bit version of iTunes installed.
I have tried to restart my iPod several times. I don't think that this should have to be done all the time one of the other is not sync. Besides. It don't resolve the issue.
The iPod has a fully charged battery.
I have tried different USB ports. Same issue still exists.
I tired to restart my computer when the issues happens. Again it still happens.
I have completely uninstall iTunes and then reinstall iTunes back. Nothing has changed.
I have shut down all 3rd party software. Sync issues still happen.
I have tied on different computers I have in the house. The issues does happen. Not as often.
So there it is. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

Having Issues With IPhone 4 Pre Order at Apple & AT&T

Hi all
I to tried to order this morning and am stuck in the loop at the Apple site. I then went to the AT&T site (Premier and regular) and those give you the link to pre-order then only show you the 3GS. Even the AT&T rep could only bring them up.
I do have a question for all. When I placed my business number in (have business and personal) to the Apple site it told me to go to AT&T. My question is if I am finally able to order a phone under my personal line can I use this with my business line (transfer the phone to that line) ? I am eligible for upgrades on both lines.
Reason I ask is that I will be buying one phone per account but as the white is not available was thinking I would order the black first on my personal line and pair it with my business number. I know you could do this by calling AT&T and switching over your SIM card in the past but with the new micro sims is that possible ?
Thanks all, hopefully we will all be able to pre order successfully soon

I had the same problems with the Apple site. The AT&T site began offering the iPhone 4 pre-order around 4 AM CDT and I was able to pre-order through them on the first try, after several failures on the Apple site. The only downside is that you have to have it shipped, so you can't pick it up at a store as you can with the Apple site.

Anyone having issues with iphone 5 having issues with screen freezing and cant text

Screen is freezing, when texting it deletes the characters automatically as well

Would it matter if others were?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
