How do I enable my new macbook pro to become my default computer to sync all my apple devices-iphone 4, touch, ipod classic, nano? My five year old dell's hard drive has only 2GB of space available and is currently the computer I use for all these device
I have a new macbook pro that I wish to sync all my apple devices--ipodclassic,nano,iphone4,touch-- that are currently synced with a 5 year old windows based computer with only 2GB of available hard drive space. How can I do this and maintain all of my info-contacts, songs,photos etc without losing this data< Thanks
you can either update to lion/ios5 and use the cloud to sync or you can plug in said devices and sync them with your MBP instead of your dell via a tethered usb connection.
also, sign into your itunes store account on your mac.

How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?
How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: Be sure you have an active internet connection. -

Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.
Okay, so I had to re-install iTunes. My iTunes library is currently empty. I can make a new back up and the location of the songs not having changed, these will be available in my library?

My iPod classic, which is 6 years old is corrupted. A message that says ''Connect to iTunes to restore'' keeps on blinking on the screen, But when I connected it to iTunes it says an error has occured and my iPod has hung after i've disconnected it.
Hi,
Time to take your iPod in for service.
You can make a Genius Bar reservation in advance if you are in the U.S.

Ammi.Hi,
SELECT objnr objid aufnr

into table t_afih.
SELECT objnr
from JEST
into table t_JEST
where stat = 'A0045'
OR stat = 'A0046'

SELECT objnr
from COBRB

SELECT arbpl werks objid objty

WHERE objty eq 'D'
AND gewrk = it_afih-objid.
SELECT aufnr objnr auart txjcd pspel gstrp werks aufnr
FROM caufv

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_afih
WHERE aufnr = it_afih-aufnr
And pspel = ' '
AND txjcd = ' '
ANd objnr ne it_crhd-objnr
AND auart in s_wtype
AND werks in s_plant.
AND objnr ne it_jest-objnr.
dont use NE in the select statements, it may effect performance also. Instead use if statements inside
loops.
loop at t_caufv.
read table it_chrd............
if t_caufv-objnr ne it_chrd-objnr.
read table it_jest..........
if if t_caufv-objnr ne it_jest-objnr.
(proceed further).
endif.
endif.
endloop.
hope this helps.

How do I get my New Macbook pro to sync with .mac account????
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro to replace my Ibook G4 which had been successfully syncing on my .mac account with my Imac G5 desktop computer.
The new Macbook Pro has Leopard while my G5 has Tiger. The salesperson told me that this would NOT be a problem at all. I configured the Ical to sync automatically in the preferences along with contacts and mail accounts. They both worked fine but the ICal does not sync.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SkipThanks for your reply. Yes I did, several times. What finally happened is after about 18 hours, the syncing started to work. I think what happened was that the mac server must take some time for backing up or whatever and all of a sudden when it did, it synced....
go figure.

How to factory restore a new Macbook pro w/o retina display?
I have found no useful information. It came with no restore disc, and I did the second option after you restart your macbook while holding Command +R. After I did the second option which took hours, my hard drive wasn't factory restored... This is new macbook pro w/o retina.
Follow the instructions here - How to prepare your Mac for sale - even if you aren't selling your MBP, this will guide you through the steps you need to take to get to the 'factory defaults' option.
Good luck,

How to connect to a new MacBook Pro ?
My Apple 23" HD Cinema Display comes with 3 connectors : video output, Firewire and USB. I have just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro and I can no longer connect the monitor nor the Firewire. What do I have to do ?
Connect the display's DVI cable to a Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adaptor>
or to the HDMI port with a HDMI(M) to DVI(F) adapter
<http://ca.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Video-Adapter/HDMI-to-DVI-D-Video-Cabl e-Adapter-M-F~HDMIDVIMF>
You don't have to connect the display's FireWire cable unless you use the display's FireWire ports. You should always connect the USB cable.
If you need FireWire, you can use a Thunderbolt adapter.
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapto r>
This give you FireWire 800. For FireWire 400 (used by the Display) you can add another adapter.

I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

Restored my iMac from Time Machine now Hard Drive has doubled! Need Space!
I Restored my new (refurbished) iMac 2010 (Snow Leopard 10.6.4) from Time Machine now the Hard Drive has doubled 450GB to 900GB. I want to recover the space on my hard drive, What do I do?
Side Note: My previous iMac (2007) died so I went and bought a refurbished model here. My old iMac had 10.6.8 installed versus my "new" iMac has 10.6.4 installed. I can't restore from my Time Machine since it was from another model.Since it's a new (refurb), boot with the install disc, wipe the HD, and reinstall the OS. On first boot, don't migrate, but create an admin account using the same username/password combo as on the TM backup. When finished, run Software Update, and bring it up to 10.6.8. Then, mount the TM HD and try restoring. Life would be so much easier if you had a bootable backup/clone. Instantly able to migrate.
For more on TM, see Pondini's TM FAQs. -
I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive. -
How do I connect my new MacBook Pro with my wireless printer?
New to Apple products, and can't figure out how to wirelessly connect to my printer. I am assuming that it has that capacity....but can't find a way. I have an HP officejet 4500 wireless printer.
Appreciate the help.As you will come to discover and appreciate in this new world, most common and mundane tasks have been designed to be simple, easy and, often, self-evident. But we've had to put up with Windoze's Weird Ways for way too long and have had our instinct to do things naturally blunted. Fortunately, the brain damage is curable...
Cheers!
P.S., in time you'll come to appreciate and benefit from the Mac's minimalist design, as was the Will of Steve throughout Apple's products.
