How do I make my iPhone connect to my Mac and sync my apps from my phone to my computer?
I recently switched my iPhone account to a new computer, and I can't figure out how to make my computer recognize my apps on my phone. I have a new email that i use for my iTunes stuff and it works, but on my phone it doesn't recognize the new email and it shows the old email and asks for the password, but even my old password doesn't work. I'm so frustrated How can I make my phone change the old email to the new one? The only problem is for the App Store. Thank you
You have made your situation complicated by creating a new Apple ID. As stated, you can only authorize and update content from the iTunes and Mac App Stores with the Apple ID that was used to acquire it. You will indeed need to maintain the old Apple ID if you do not wish to lose all previously acquired content.
To get the apps and other content on your iPhone to your new computer, you need to transfer purchases from the iPhone to the new computer before you sync the new computer and the iPhone. If you sync the iPhone without first transferring the purchases you may lose all the previously acquired apps that are on the iPhone. After opening the iTunes app on the computer connect the iPhone to the computer. Do not let the iPhone sync with the computer. Highlight the iPhone in the devices list and then choose Transfer purchases from the iTunes app's File menu.
In order to use these apps that you have transfered from the iPhone to the new computer, you will need to Authorize the new computer to use the content from the old Apple ID. You authorize the computer to use this content from the iTunes app's Store menu. You can use content from different Apple IDs on the same computer.

How do i open my netflix app onto my mac along with my apps from my phone
how do i open my netflix app onto my mac along with my apps from my phone
If you bought and downloaded the 1Password app from the Mac App Store, then it shoud be in the Applications folder on your Mac. Since the name starts with a 1, it is usually the very first app in the folder.

How do I set my iTunes not to automatically sync my apps from my iPhone to my macbook?
everytime i connect my iphone to my macbook it attempts to sync my apps from the phone to my macbook and it's very annoying.
That's how syncing works, all content should be residing on your computer. If you don't want to sync then you need to switch and manually manage content, but I would do a backup first and make sure everything is on your PC first.
Now if you mean you don't want new apps to sync to your phone then just uncheck 'automatically sync new apps'

I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?
"I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
That is correct.
"Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad. There is nothing to repair. -
My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton. How can I make my Iphone work???? I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on. It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it. IT just WONT charge? Any tips I can use to solve the issue?
-EstebanHello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,

How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.
The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work. -

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth not discoverable
How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth feature "not" discoverable so that my phone is secure from hacking while i am in public and the bluetooth feature is turned on.
The iPhone can only be discovered when you are in the Bluetooth menu at Settings > Bluetooth. You'll see under Devices it shows Now Discoverable.
If you are not at this menu, it is not discoverable anmd it will not show up on other devices.
Simply having BlueTooth on does not make it discoverable. -
I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
That is from the page that you linked- does highlighted part of message ring a bell? -
I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

How do I make a NAS connected to a MacBook Pro visible on the network?
I have a NAS connected to my MBP via ethernet, how do I make this drive visible to other Macs on my home network?
A NAS, Network Attached Storage, is Not connected to any one computer. It is connected only to the LAN, Local Area Network, by an Ethernet cable and or wirelessly (Better by Ethernet cable and only a few NAS system work over WiFi and they are SLOW).
If you are attaching a USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt external drive to your Mac that is not a NAS system. It is a drive connected to your system and for it to show to the rest of your LAN it must be shared from the computer it is connected to. -

I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.
Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.
