How do I sync my Iphone with my MacBook Pro with a reformatted hard drive?

My MacBook Pro hard drive crashed. I rebooted from the Mac OS X install DVD. Now, my itunes is empty. When I tried to sync my iPhone 4, it states that it will erase everything on my phone and replace it with the items in itunes (which is empty). What do I do?

    In order to sync email between multiple computers and the server you must use the IMAP protocol. Are you using IMAP, POP, or WebMail?
    What program are you using for email at home and on your other computer?

  • How do I transfer everything from my 2006 macbook pro to an external hard drive?

    I am selling my Macbook Pro 2006 to upgrade.   I want to clear all info off my computer.  First, I want to move all info to an external hard drive.  Is this possible?  I recall that there is a way to move info form mac to mac by hitting alt A?  Would this work for tranfer to the external drive?

    No, here's what you want to do:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    This process will first erase the external drive. The result is a bootable backup on the external drive.

  • How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

    How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
    I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be.  When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
    If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

    I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this):  first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing).  Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars.  Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
    Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

    The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
    If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

  • How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar.

    How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar?

    Iphone 5 seems unable to sync calendars with ITunes! The genius bar set mine to sync via Icloud, but it only worked once (?). 
    Finally I fixed it like this.
    First, I merged the multiple calendars from ICal thanks to http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_merge_ical_calendars and I called it “only.”
    Second, I unchecked the gmail calendar (seems iCloud had a problem with it): On the Iphone, open the calendar, go to the bottom of the page, click on calendars and uncheck the gmail calendar. Click Done.
    Third, every time I want to sync, I go to the Iphone  Settings, iCloud, and uncheck calendars. I respond “keep on my Iphone”. Then, check calendars on again, click merge, and.… voila!

    Hi silverk,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

    Have a great day,

  • How do I sync iTunes music on a Macbook Pro to a PC via iCloud?

    I have a Macbook Pro with all my music files on - I have recently upgraded my software to iOS5 and I am running Lion.
    I have synced my iphone to my Macbook Pro via iCloud, but I would also like to sync my wife's PC laptop (Windows Vista) to my Macbook Pro, again for the music files - I have downloaded iCloud and iTunes on her PC with my Apple ID.
    I was wondering if anyone knows how I go about syncing these two devices as I can't fathom out how to do it!

    You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.
    On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

  • How to transfer photos from iphone 4s to MacBook Pro

    Are you attempting to do this with iTunes? What you ask is a job for iPhoto. Did you try to import the photos to iPhoto?

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

    Light alcohol cleaners, like what you use for camers lenses, works.  Just do not have the soft cloth cleaning pad dripping wet ... dripping wet will allow fluid to get onto internal components.

  • How do I run Windows software on my MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks

    How do I run Windows software on my MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks? I want to run a TurboTax program to amend an old tax return. Program is not available for OSX.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How to enable automatic punctuation on a new MacBook Pro with retina?

    Can you tell me how to enable automatic punctuation on a new MacBook Pro with retina? Thanks

    In which application?  (There is no system wide punctuation.) 
    And how is the computer supposed to know what is the correct punctuation?  For example "Let's eat, Mom!" versus "Let's eat Mom!"  (Sort of depends upon whether your computer has weathered the zombie apocalypse, I guess.)
