How do I get playlists from my phone on to my mac?
Hi
I have an iPhone 4S that I've been using as my iPod. It has all my playlists and much of my music (though not enough memory for all my music). This all came from my old laptop. Earlier this year I bought a MacBook Air (love it!) and although I managed to move the music library across from my old PC laptop, using an external hard drive, the playlists didn't come with it. When I try to sync my phone now with the mac for my music and select "synch playlists" I get the message "are you sure you want to remove existing music, etc, etc from this iPhone and sync with the iTunes library". No! I want it to sync the other way round so that my playlists go ON to my library. I also have new music I've bought from iTunes on the Mac which isn't on my phone because there's no room.
I have been inspired to sort this out because my new iPhone 6 arrives today (with lots of memory) and I want to get all the playlists and music on to that. I'd be very grateful indeed for some advice - I'm sure i'm missing something obvious.
best wishes

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.

Nokia 5880 - How do I get videos from my phone to ...
I have no trouble in getting photographs onto my pc, but the videos never appear and I just cannot work out how to get them from my phone to my pc, can anyone help me?
Hi,
are you using the transfer video facility in PC Suite ? Select it and under Tools select 'scan your PC for videos'. Select the video you want to put on your phone from the list and then select the option to "convert into mobile format and copy into my video collection" by clicking on the monitor icon bottom right. Video will convert, then click on 'my video collection' from left hand menu and you should see the video in a new list. Select the video and then the transfer to phone icon. This has always worked fro me so far.
Good luck -
my old computer crashed and now that i have a new computer when i loaded itunes it does not have all my music that i have on my iphone. how do i get it off my phone to my itunes on new computer?
The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back -

How do I get images from Aperture into print shop for mac?
Friends,
I have Print Shop for Mac and Aperture. How do I get images from Aperture into Print Shop? I'musing managed images with previews. Is there any option besides exporting to the desktop and importing?
Thanks!
Steveif you have previews turned on in Aperture and they're all genereated, you can simply drag-n-drop them into any application (just about). drag-n-drop is essentially the same as copy/paste as long as the application is setup to accept "drops" onto its windows.
otherwise, if you're running Leopard (10.5) as your version of Mac OS X, when you import (or whatever it is in PrintShop), you should get a file selection dialog. from here, scroll down the left-hand side bar set of icons. near the bottom is a group called "Media". click on the triangle to open the group, choose Photos, and from here you should see an Aperture icon. click this and you'll see your whole library (or at least the portion of it that you have previews generated for. select the photo you want and viola!

Verizon Media Manager won't install - How do I get photos from my phone memory to my PC?
I'm getting frustrated with my new Droid, HTC Incredible. The salesman said I could just plug in the USB and transfer my photos to and from my computer, that the phone would look just like an external hard drive. False...
I plug in the USB and get an option to open the folders or to install drivers. If I chose to open the folders, I see three external drives - one with an autorun.inf file and a few other files. If I click on the other two drives, I get a message telling me to install a disk in the drive.
If I click, "Install Drivers" I am taken to the VerizonWireless website and instructed to install Verizon Media Manager. Okay, so I try to do that, on my Windows 64 bit OS, and get a message that says,
"This Application does not support 64 bit operating systems - operation aborted" (or something like that).
So now what?I apologize you are having problems connecting your device with your PC.
Try using these steps below:
Windows 7
Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Device Manager.
Windows Vista
Click Start > (Settings) Control Panel > (System and Maintenance) > Device Manager.
If prompted, click Continue.
Windows 2000 / XP
Click Start > (Settings) Control Panel > (Performance and Maintenance) > System > Hardware > Device Manager.
The following devices are normally installed:
Anrdoid USB Devices
My HTC
Disk drives
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Modems
HTC Modem (if using as a tethered modem)
Portable Devices
E:/ (Where E represents the assigned drive letter.)
Universal Serial Bus controllers
USB Composite Device
USB Mass Storage Device
If a red X, yellow ! or yellow ? is displayed to the left of a listed device, a conflict is present and the drivers must be updated or reinstalled.
Driver conflicts may also be indicated by a device entry labeled Other Devices or Unknown.
1. If using the HTC DROID Incredible ADR6300 as a Sync device continue to step 3. If using the HTC DROID Incredible ADR6300 as a Modem ensure the device drivers are installed.
2. If VZAccess Manager is installed and a driver conflict is still present, continue to step 3. Right-click the device then click Update Driver Software.
3. If using Windows 2000 / XP, right-click the device then click Update Driver.
The device name may differ from the example shown.
4. Click Browse my computer for driver software.
If using Windows 2000 / XP, select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) then click Next.
Enter C:\Windows\System32\driver into the search window then click Next.
If using Windows 2000 / XP, ensure that Search for the best driver in these locations and Include this location in the search are selected.
5. The driver location can be entered manually or navigated to by clicking Browse.
If the driver software is not found, a Windows Operating System update may be needed.
6. Click Close.
If using Windows 2000 / XP, click Finish.
Once your done, you should be able to see one of the following choices in your My Computer:

Disk drives
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Modems
HTC Modem (if using as a tethered modem)
Portable Devices

I have many notes on my iphone and ipad notes app They used to be synced between the two Suddenly they disappeared from my ipad and then from my iphone., The notes came back to my iphone but not to the ipad. How can they be synced together and how can they stay on my devices without icloud taking them off.,
Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm not sure whether this works with notes, (it works with contacts etc) Paul might be worth a try:
Try turning off notes syncing in your settings > iCloud and then turning them back on, hopefully you will be given the option to merge your notes. Otherwise I am afraid you are going to have to transfer them manually in the manner which you have already described. -

How do I remove playlists from my phone while not removing the playlist from my itunes on my mac
As you've no doubt discovered, if you delete a playlist from your iPhone it deletes it from iTunes as well. To delete the songs you can swipe them and tap the "Delete" button individually, or you can switch to Album or Artist view and delete that way by tap-n-hold on the Album or Artist and tapping the "x." You can also delete all the music on your iDevice by going to Settings > General > Usage, tapping Music then swiping it and tapping the "delete" button.

The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone? All my music is sitting there safely on my iPad, but whenever I try to sync it with my computer the only option I get is to wipe the iPad and replace it with the files on the computer---which is only a fraction of what I had originally. How do I fix this?? It even deleted my playlists, and I now only have some 200 songs left out of what used to be over 1000!
It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone. -
My iphone is broken and i am getting a new one sent out. How do i get everything from my old phone copied to the new one so its exactly the same??
As long as they are already ticked in your iTunes then yes. Just to check do a sync and as long as everything stays the same you are good to go.
