The iPhone is not a backup device, so you shouldn't expect to be able to get everything that is on it onto your new computer. The far better way is to restore the backup of your old computer onto the new computer. Here is what you CAN save from the iPhone - start by installing the latest version of iTunes on your new computer:
Verify that your new computer has iTunes 10.5.2. If it doesn't, download and install the latest version from http://www.apple.com/itunes
Authorize the new iTunes to the account the iPhone is associated with
Connect the phone but DO NOT SYNC
Choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu - this will copy your purchased music to iTunes on the Mac
Click on the iPhone name in the left panel, then the "Info" tab in the right panel
Choose apps on your computer to sync Contacts and Calendars to (probably Address Book and iCal)
Make sure there is at least one entry in each app on your Mac
If you have music that was not purchased from iTunes on your iPhone you will have to find a third party Mac app to copy it to your computer. Google for "iphone file browser"
If you have photos in the Camera Roll you can transfer them to iPhoto, which should have opened when you connected the phone. If it didn't launch the Image Capture app
If you have photos in the Photo app the iphone file browser can copy them to your computer, HOWEVER, they will be lower resolution than the originals
After doing all of the above sync the phone.
As I said at the beginning, it would be far easier just to restore the backup of your previous computer.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...
Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

I have a new iMac running OS 10.9. When I use the Command S shortcut in any of my apps (numbers, text edit etc), it no longer saves the active document it speaks it instead. How can I revert to the save shortcut function?
have you looked in
system preference->Dictiation & speech if it's assigned there?
or system preference->accessibility if it's assigned there? -
I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. Is it some kind of tablet interference?
Yes, EEK!
Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?
In System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input, doe the check marks look like the following: -
Transferring Email from Outlook 2007 to a new iMac running Leopard
I previously decided to make the jump from Windows Vista Ultimate to a new iMac several months ago and was just waiting for the release of Leopard. It was my understanding that the transfer would be seamless. But I recently read an article by Walt Mossberg that appeared to indicate that you cannot transfer email files from Outlook 2007 to the iMac's email program. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I need to have all of my old email folders. I DO NOT want to have to buy and install a Microsoft operating system to make this work either. This is a deal killer for me if I cannot have my old emails available.

Can I reboot my new iMac running OS 10.7 into Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an external hard drive
I have installed my hard drive from a previous but terminally I'll iMac that was running Snow Leopard into a Sata to USB enclosure. This is displaying on the desktop of my new iMac running Lion as an external Hard drive,also system preferences sees it as a start up source.My question is , is it safe to restart into Snow leopard without causing a kernel panic and if it does boot will it be fast enough to use as it as a USB drive.I know I could try it and see, but I would rather some advice.
Regards
John LewisYes you should be able to (as long as your computer didn't ship with lion, if so idk it would prob work though) although be aware it will be MUCH slower than the normal OS. Hope this helps!

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.
As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...
Re the iMac running OS X 10 5 8... and for your New Mac...

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion
Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7. Surely there is software that will allow older scanners to work on OS10.7. My MacBook Pro runs 10.6 and the
Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot). It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture. I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below: Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

I have a new IMAC 5k running Yosemite and when I log in I am asked a whole series of questions as to what keychain can access. How can I authorise all of these to be available upon login? Items concerned are such as "Talagent", "Messages agent" etc
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. -

Just purchased a new iMac running 10.9.5, needing a version of illustrator. Do I go with CS6 hard copy or down load or CC? I have 17 years of illustrator files some il 7 some CS. Can you save back to Legacy with CC?
Really need to be able to save back to the older versions, in order to output vector files on an older plotter. Running an older application of Mac sign from Softeam, can't get in touch with them. Total pain to upgrade, been dumbing down for too many years.

As Niel states you can use your current iWorks.
If you want the latest version you will need to purchase the componets in the Mac App Store. -
I have a new IMAC with lion. When I use the migration tool from my PC to the new Mac, it takes about 2 hours to transfer my photos and address book, etc. However, when completed, I cannot locate any of the transfered material on the Mac! Any suggestions?
You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum. You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.
I suggest posting here:

Complete list:

Try double clicking on the harddrive icon on your desktop
You should get something like this.
On the left pane is a list of common places.
All the user data is in the /Users folder.
See the magnifying glass on the upper left of the screen. This is spotlight. Type in a file name.

new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help
I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps
