How do I add my iPhone 5 to new MacBook Pro including music to iTunes?
Is there a way of adding my iPhone 5 to a new MacBook Pro to add iTunes or do I have to start over again?
Use this article to move your music to a new computer

Then when you attach your iphone 5 right click on it in itunes and click transfer purchases as well so it has all the apps and other things to sync

How do i sync my iPhone to a new macbook pro and start a new apple ID?
Ok, so I just go a new macbook pro for college, and what I am trying to do is sync my iphone with my new computer and get all my music etc onto the new mac. But i also want to start a new apple ID. I previously have had my iphone synced on the family's imac under the family apple id. Now i want to sync that iphone onto my computer and also start my own apple ID linked to my iphone and computer.
I can't figure out how to do this without having to reset the iphone.
( I already created the new ID)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Here's an article in line with your request: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

How do i sync my iphone to my new Macbook pro?
I recently just purchased a new Macbook Pro and i'd like to be able to sync my iphone to it and use it as my main computer. Whenever i try to sync it though it says that it has to erase all my content. This wouldnt be a problem since i backed up my phone on the Macbook and i did Home sharing from my other computer, so all my music, movies, and apps are on my Mac, but im worried its going to mess up all my data on my iphone. Is it going to erase my contacts, calander events, text conversations, settings, pics, and/or saved data on apps? If someone could tell me everything that happens when i click erase all data, as well as a possible alternative way of syncing my iphone, i would be very thankful.
Follow this article How to back up your data and set up as a new device
In short: Disable autosync, set up at least one contact and event on your Mac, back up manually, tranfer your purchases, sync and let it get erased, restore from the manual backup you made.

How can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage
how can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage
Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine. How do I get my music back????
The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

How can I transfer my iPhone tunes into my MacBook Pro iTunes? Help!!! Gordon
You can't sync across accounts, so:
In Contacts select all the contacts (1 account at a time) and choose File>Export>vCard),
then on your wifes Air do the reverse, select File>Import. -
How do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?
I'm wondering how I can transfer my music, etc from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The syncis one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?
Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days. You can do some of this with Home Sharing. You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
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) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
You do not want to use a new AppleID. Change the AppleID on the new phone to the old ID. Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again." -
How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
username/Music/itunes
Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
username/music/
This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive -

How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro
How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?
I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own.
You have two choices to use Windows 7. First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others). I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them). They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better). But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window. Easy.
We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website. It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp. Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator. But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp. Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
ThanksIf the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.
As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.
