Help with syncing for first time..

I am wondering how to sync my email and iphone so that they are both updated simultaneously? Thanks

Check the servers used in your account settings on your computer. If your incoming mail server is pop.whatever.com, for example, it's a POP account. Some (e.g. gmail) can be set up either way.

How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?

Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
I'll let you know.

Help syncing for first time please

Hi
I have an iPod touch that has loads of apps installed. I want to sync it for the first time to a new itunes installation. I took the option to transfer purchases from the ipod, and can now see the apps in itunes. However, when I tick the option to sync applications, I get a warning that this will erase all applications AND DATA from the ipod. I obviously do not want to lose all the high score data etc. Will it really delete all apps and data and then copy all apps back to the ipod (thereby losing the data)? Or is this just a generic warning regarding syncing, and it will see that all apps match and to leave them alone?
THanks for any help.

You'll need to back up your ipod manually before syncing it to your new iTunes. Here's how to:
Make sure your still authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

How do i sync iphone with computer for first time?

Need help to sync my iphone4S with my Mac

You should just be able to plug it in to your Mac once you setup your iPhone, iOS 5 has allowed phones to be setup without the need of a computer. You just sign in with your Apple ID and presto. For your apps/music/etc it's easiest to get it on the iPhone over a USB connection since most people have at least 1GB of each (which is a lot of data to wirelessly transfer via iCloud or even Wi-fi Sync). When you plugin your phone, your iPhone will show up on the left hand bar, that's where you go and modify most of your sync settings, etc.

Recently purchased new Mac Book Pro. Synced iPod touch with it for first time, only purchased songs transferred, non purchased were erased. iPod was backed up to iCloud. Is there a way to see songs in iCloud and download to Mac Book?

Help with iTunes

Purchases cannot be transferred to a new Apple ID.
You can stop receiving their info by signing out of iCloud.

I need help with the .xinitrc (first time arch user)

I just installed Arch on a virtual machine and i am following the beginner guide step by step.
I have reached the point that i enable gnome-session to start automatically when you invoke startx.
The guide says i need to add the line "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" in the xinitrc file.
I tried doing this in the root account and the system just doesnt login to gnome. I tried doing it using the normal user and the files just disappears, and cannot be edited.
I looked around on the internet and found that typing startx /usr/bin/gnome-session startx gnome, but it doesnot replace startx or starts automatically.
this is my first time using arch and i would like help.
Thank you.

You probably think the file "disappears" because .xinitrc is a "dot" file, which normally doesn't show up in an ls listing. Any file whose name begins with a '.' is a "hidden" file and generally doesn't show up in any listing. 'ls -a' to see it.
And please note that it is the file .xinitrc - ie, it begins with a period. This is the file that is looked for by X at start up.

How do I keep photos on iphone when syncing for first time

I gave my iPhone 4 to my son as an 8th grade graduation gift.
He now wants to sync it to his macbook, so I helped him set up an itunes account.
When we go to sync it, it says it will wipe the phone clean.
He has some music on there from my itunes acct, and alot of photos he has taken.
How can he do an initial sync without losing his dat (mostly photos)
Thanks!

I am not sure if you can do this if it is your first time on a new iTunes account, but I like to uncheck the box that says something like "Automatically manage your media". This means that iTunes does not care what apps and music etc. that I have on on my phone and if I want to add something I just click and drag a media file onto my phone's name and if I want to delete something I just view files on my phone via iTunes and delete it. I never need to check and uncheck songs in iTunes using this method. Itunes also never has to automatically delete and replace "outdated" media this way. If you can access this checkbox on the Device Summary page when you connect to your phone to iTunes, I highly recommend trying this.

Please help me publish for first time

hello. i am a newbie so be patient.
i just made my first site. but i can't figure out how to publish it. when i hit publish, it asks me to sign in by bringing up my system preferences. and nothing will ever happen after signing in.
i did publish to a folder, and was able to see it when iweb directed me directly to it, but i have no idea what the url is, or if this is even right.
please help.
asap.

Normally, when entering a password in for the first time, you are asked if you want to add it to your keychain.
There is a "New Password" command under the File menu in Keychain Access, but I don't know how to set it correctly for .mac.
I would suggest that you use the "Keychain First Aid" command in the Keychain Access menu and see if any problems show up.
Beyond that, I'd suggest searching this forum for "log in" or the like. I've seen issues like this mentioned before. Maybe there is a solution that I'm not remember.

Need help loggin in for first time

The registration question they wanted was a URL word to use. Now matter what I put in the blank, it was rejected. What are you looking for?

Hi patmladic-
Can you give me more information please? Which site were you trying to register on? Why do you believe this is an issue with the browser Firefox- instead of the website you were trying to use?

Help with export speed - First time poster - please be gentle!!

Hi all,
Currently an i5 win 7 with 4gig ram (work PC!!!)
Using Ppro 8.1.0 (81)
As a company we have upgraded from CS6 to CC in the last month
I have played around an everything is looks fine, but I have a 40 second video containing 4 After Effect comps fully rendered sitting on my Ppro timeline. I go to export and choose h2.264 720p 25 as I would have done in CS6 and the estimated file size is 48meg, So I'm thinking that will be a quick render.
At the moment the estimated time reads 2 hours and 7 mins and is climbing!!
What am I doing wrong? I usually export to this setting and a 4 min video on the same machine using CS6 used to take about 45 mins
Thanks in advance, I have looked through the forums, but don't know much about the ins and outs of hardware acceleration or even know where to find it!!

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

HT1178 I'm setting up airport for first time. I'm getting error no DNS servers help

I'm setting up airport for first time. Getting error no DNS servers. What is DNS server and how do I fix this?

DNS server is that translation from a website address in words meaningful to us.. eg www.google.com to an actual number that computers can use. Without DNS the internet may work but you would have to know the ipv4 address of every site you want to visit.
Whenever you don't know the meaning of a term just type wiki plus the term in google search.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System
We cannot really help fix the problem without knowing a good deal more info.
So
What modem do you have.. make and model may be a help?
Who is your ISP.. may be helpful??
Is the modem also a router?
How is the TC connected to the modem?
How is the computer connected to the TC?
A primary example of where you get this problem is a pure cable modem.. ie has no router in it.
When you replace an existing computer or router that is plugged into it, with the TC, requires that you power cycle the modem. In some cases the off time is 5min.. for a lot of services, it needs to be off 20min.. and for some even longer.. maybe an hour or overnight.
But it is not worth getting into specifics without knowing the rest of the system.

i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org
