  • 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!!

  • 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.

    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.

    Addressbook synching would be through your iCloud account. It has nothing to do with Safari.

  • Help with syncing my Iphone to my new Macbook pro!

    Okay, so I wasn't sure whether to put this in with the iPhone questions or the macbook pro questions but here goes anyways;
    So just yesterday I received my macbook pro. My computer before was a Dell, this is really besides the point, but if I am trying to figure my best route to getting the information (music, contacts, etc.) onto my new mac. I am afraid to just plug my iPhone in, because I don't want it to wipe my phone.
    If i plug my phone in, will this happen? I'm just not really sure what to do right now. Thank you!

    I'm in a similar situation as the OP. Laptop crashed, lost access to my iTunes library. Got a new Mac, repopulated the new library with all my music, audiobooks, etc. Thing is, my iPhone contains only a few hundred of the tens of thousands of songs in my library, almost all of which were ripped from my CD collection (yeah, I'm old) rather than having been purchased through iTunes, so Restore Purchases won't do me much good.
    I'm really not interested in having to redo the years-long winnowing process of choosing which music from my collection to put back onto my phone once I sync it to my new machine and library. Nor am I interested in dropping thirty bucks or so on third-party backup software. And I'm *really* not interested in being told that I cannot manage my music, on my devices, with my computer, without having to start from scratch.
    So the original question stands: It's not about whether I can sync my iPhone to a new library without losing the media I've put on the phone, but How. To. Do. It. Is there a way to create an index or playlist of what's on the phone prior to the initial sync such that iTunes will restore only those files from the library after it slicks the phone?

    What do you mean by sync?
    Have you asked verizon for help?

    I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I cannot sync my iPhone 4s with iTunes (MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8)

    Whenever I attempt to connect my iPhone 4s to my MacBook Pro to sync and transfer music I receive the following error message:  "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.  Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I tried downloading latest version of iTunes but when I went to install, received error message that I needed OS X 10.6 or later.  Subsequently, I just purchased OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.  Once I upgrade to that OS, will I be able to software upgrade to the appropriate versions of OS X and iTunes so that I can sync my iPhone 4s with my iTunes on MacBook running OS X 10.6.?

    Yes.

  • How can i pair my iPhone 5s to my MacBook Pro on yosemite

    i cannot pair my iPhone 5s to my Macbook pro. i recently upgraded to Yosemite, and was quite excited to use the new handsoff feature. To discover that the 2 devices would not pair. How exactly would handsoff work? A wifi connection, or bluetooth? i'm not the only one having this issue; it seems to be something we're all experiencing. it's a silly issue to have you ask me, or is there something I am doing wrong?

    First, verify that the Mac is capable of using Handoff. Hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu. In the System Information window, select Bluetooth from the list on the left. Near the top of the summary of "Hardware, Features, and Settings," you should see this line:
              Handoff Supported: Yes
    Follow the instructions in this support article. All the devices using Handoff must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the Mac also has an Ethernet connection, disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    If Handoff still doesn't work, on the mobile device, turn Handoff off and back on as directed in the linked article. On the Mac, turn Bluetooth off and back on. You might have to restart a mobile device to get it working.

  • Why do I lose some of my contacts when syncing my iPhone 4 with my MacBook Pro?

    If I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro using the lead a few of the contacts on my phone are wiped, but not on my MacBook.  Text messages etc are still on there but it just states the number it came from not the person's name.  Why does it do this?  Why does it only happen to a few numbers?  What do I do to stop it?!
    Many thanks.

    i think is because when you snyc for the last time you doesnt save your informations on your computer and, for one reason your Macbook Pro dellect all the thing who was not saved.. (its happening to me and, the losted information never will be back.. i'm sorry..) :/

  • How to sync my iphone 4 with my macbook pro

    Hi. This is possible a very trivial question and something which is very easy to do however I am new to MacBooks and so am unsure of exactly what to do.
    I have an iPhone 4 and have just purchased a MacBook Pro today. I would like to sync the two products so that all my contacts, music, emails, notes, photos on my iphone are also on my MacBook.
    How do I go about doing this?

    Read the iphone manual and use iTunes:
