How to sync iphone to imac

I just bought a new imac and I can't get my iphone to sync up. It keeps telling me to update my itune software to 10.5 or new. I already updated it, three times in the last half hour. I even reset my phone and tried again. After I downloaded the latest software, I even restarted my computer, but futile. The same message keeps popping up.
What is my next step?

If you haven't already, go to the iTunes download webpage and click the Download Now button.

How to connect my iphone to imac on wifi

Hi
I want to connect my iphone to imac on wifi. Actually i want to use internet on my iphone. So how can i do this ?

If you have a wifi router you can set up/turn on the wifi... set the user name and password wifi in your router... open wifi in general settings on the iPhone... log into your router, user name and password. (If your don't know how to turn on the router wifi. Google the router make and model and you will find instructions on how to do this.)
If you don't have a wifi router and your Mac has wifi capabilities you can hookup to the internet over wifi from your Mac to your iPhone.
System Preferences on the Mac... Network... Wifi... Advanced tab... Hit the '+' to add a user name and password...
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal for Security... Hit ok... Turn on the wifi... Same as above with the iPhone, log into your wifi settings on the iPhone.
*Important point... Use WPA2 for the encryption/Security setting. If you use anything else for this setting, your wifi can be hacked.

How do I update my contacts on my MacBook pro from my iPhone or iMac?

my contacts on my MacBook pro are out of date. How do I update them from my iPhone or Imac?

Hey there dgt11,
It seems like you may have missed that section of the article I provided, so I will go ahead and highlight it for you:
OS X Lion or later
You can use these steps with Contacts on OS X Mountain Lion or later or Address Book on OS X Lion. After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
Make sure iCloud Contacts is on
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Contacts.
See which version of OS X you're using
Make sure that you're using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to see which version of OS X you're using.
Check your Internet connection
Try to go to www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in Contacts or Address Book. Get help with your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
Check your account details
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Refresh Contacts or Address Book
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts or Address Book, try to refresh by quitting and reopening the app.
Check your settings
Make sure that the contacts are syncing through iCloud and not through a third-party, such as Google or Yahoo. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Click All [iCloud Account Name] in the left sidebar.
Search for the contact that wasn't syncing properly.
If the contact isn't visible, then the contact exists in a third-party account, not iCloud.
You can import the contact from a third-party account into iCloud.
If recent changes to contacts on OS X don't appear on your other devices and you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo), make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
On the General tab, make sure that your iCloud account is the default.
After setting up iCloud Contacts, you might need to quit and reopen Contacts or Address Book on your Mac. Then make sure that you set up your account correctly in Contacts or Address Book:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
Click Accounts.
Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Quit Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud.
Deselect Contacts.
Click Keep Contacts.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select Contacts.
Open Contacts (or Address Book).
Restart your computer
Restart your computer and check the issue.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

I just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

i just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

How to sync iphone 5 contacts to iMac Mail?

How can I sync my iPhone 5 contacts to my iMac so I can use the contacts when writing emails from iMac Mail?
I have backed up my iPhone to the iMac however I cannot find a way to transfer the contents of my contacts from the phone to the iMac.
Please help?? I am having to type in the email address each and every time I write a new email from iMac Mail. Very frustrating.
I'm sure there's an easy way to do this. I just cannot work it out.

Hello Linda.Ven,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to have your contacts sync between your iPhone and iMac, then I highly recommend using iCloud. It will seamlessly keep your contacts, and other data if you choose, up to date across all of your capable devices. If you'd like to learn more about how to set up iCloud, please see the link below.

Have a good one,

How do i upload photos from my iphone to imac

how do i upload photos from my iphone to imac.

iTunes can sync the phone to your machine.
iPhoto can import the file when you connect the device to your machine.

How do I set up email accts so that they are coordinated between my iphone, macbook, imac?

my iphone, macbook, and imac email accts are all set up as imap accts but I have to treat email individually on each device. SSL is off but server port numbers are different. how should this be setup so that what I do on my laptop email is automatically done on the iphone and imac?

That can only be done if you have an IMAP or exchange email account. POP3 accounts won't sync changes across your devices. If you have a POP3 account you can ask your email provider if they have an IMAP option. If not, you would need to switch to an IMAP account such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo.

How do I transfer my iTunes songs from iPhone to iMac air

how do i transfer music from iPhone to iMac air

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.
