I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy. -
I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???
That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

I'm new to Macbook Pro, and never imagined I would have problems saving bookmarks when I switched to Mac. Any suggestions with this issue? I have Safari 6.0.4, and has Apple come up with a permanent fix?
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
I have recently had my MacBook Pro and iPad stolen so I have bought a new iPad, since syncing to my existing Apple ID account I keep getting another Apple ID popping up asking for the password. Does this mean that the owner of this appe ID have my stuff?
You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro? I purchased an "old" one from Best Buy the day before the announcement of the new models.
See the specs:
Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt. -

Note that iStatPro has not been updated in quite awhile and may not be reading the guts of a totally new system correctly. IIRC, the Late 2011 MBPs were beginning to tax iStatPro already, as they had newer sensors the older code was completely unaware of.
For strictly measuring temps on the guts of these newer Macs, maybe use Marcel Bresink's free Temperature Monitor? Last updated in March 2012. In my Late 2011 15" MBP, it picks up all 18 sensors...

Or go whole hog for his Hardware Monitor, for oodles more info from the Mac. Follow the Products link from above. -
The text on my iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad are light grey and difficult to read
I have the latest upgrades of OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad Air 2. To my dismay, the text on all three computers is light grey and difficult to read. I tried to increase the contrast and also reduce the transparency, but to no avail. It is still difficult to read the text. What do I do?
Send feedback to Apple about their poor design choices. That's all I can think of, since this is the new, modern, minimalist, gray, and drab crapola Apple's foisting on computer users.

Apple devices will not print to Officejet 6700 including MacBook Pro and iPad
I am trying to help someone set up their MacBook Pro and iPad to be able to wirelessly print to their Officejet 6700. I recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects fine to the wireless network. Everything during the install process for the printer goes well, the MacBook easily sees the printer. The correct driver is installed. They also have a Windows 7 laptop that prints instanteously and has no issues whatsoever.
When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it shows "Printing - connected to printer..." and nothing ever comes of it. When trying to print from the iPad, it can see the printer and I select it. However, after telling it to print, the dialogue box just says "Connecting to Printer" and it never does - it just times out.
Things I've tried:
Everything in this article that is related to Macs (10.8).
Resetting the printing system on the Mac.
Resetting the printer to default settings.
Setting the static IP of the printer through the printer settings.
Setting the IP of the printer through the Airport Utility (after changing the printer to automatic).
Rebooting the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and before adding again.
Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
Using the Airprint driver.
Other info:
I can successfully ping the printer's IP address from the MacBook Pro.
I can easily see the web setup page for the printer both through the printer settings and by entering the IP address.
The printer is only about a month old.
They bought this printer because the previous one was having problems printing from all of their devices wirelessly. That was with a router from their previous ISP.
At this point, I'm completely stumped as to why the printer will not print from these Apple devices. We've dealt with every issue that could be causing it: the network, the printer, and the MacBook itself. I've looked online and can see no issues with people not being able to print to a wirelessly connected printer to an Airport Extreme. I've seen some issues when the printer is plugged in via USB to the Airport Extreme, but that is not our setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
This question was solved.

Can't complete facetime connection between macbook pro and iPad
Last week I had to download the latest version of facetime from the mac app store because the beta version (0.9) had expired. After I installed it on my 15" macbook pro (last model that had the removable battery) running the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.x, I tried to facetime with my iPad (3rd gen). It would ring, but when I would try to accept the connection, it wouldn't make the connection. I was using the same account/user id on both the iPad and the macbook pro. I added my wife's email address to the mac and selected her address and then was able to connect and I thought my problems were solved. At this time, both the macbook pro and iPad were on the same wifi network.
Fast forward a few days and I'm overseas and trying to facetime with my wife and so I attempt to connect and it rings and she accepts the incoming connection, but then it never connects and I get a message that it failed. She tries to connect to me and the same thing happens - it rings, i touch the button to accept and it says connecting and then never connects. I was able to connect with no issues when she was using her iPhone 4S when I am in London and she is at home on the same wifi network as the macbook pro is on. I had her sign out of my apple account in facetime on the macbook pro and sign in with her apple account that is associated with a completely different email address. We tried to connect and still had the same problem - rings, hit answer, connection fails.
I can also connect with my iPhone 4 to my iPad (both on the same wifi network, data roaming turned off on the phone so I know it is wifi only)
Since I can connect to my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, I'm pretty certain that the problem isn't with the wifi network on either end and it has something to do with facetime on the macbook pro. When I was googling for answers, it seems like this issue isn't an uncommon occurence, but I haven't been able to find any solutions either.No.

My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s. How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?
Hi GlendaGirl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're unexpectedly seeing the incorrect Apple ID on your iPhone 5s. You can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and sign in with the right Apple ID:
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account [Sign Out in iOS 8.] Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly? My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W
try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored. -
I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install it on my Macbook Pro and iPad, or is there another way to do that?
All my electronics are about a year old. iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
MacBook Pro is OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549. Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
Thank you for your help.
ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time. 2nd try.Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.
