I have switched to a MBP from PC recently.
As mentiond in the title, I'm a MBP user now. I'm facing problem with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) sync problem.
Previously i sync all my data (contacts, calendar, apps, music, video) with my PC's iTunes.
How can i sync my iPhone with my new MBP without erasing all the data in my iPhone?
I would like to save all my Apps data and settings as well.
Running Lion on your new Mac? If so, you Windows Migration Assistant to move all of your data to your new Mac:

i have switched the sim card from one iphone to a different one, and i added my music from my old phone to the used one, now the old music on the used phone won't delete. im really frustrated and annoyed please help
Do you just want to delete the music or wipe the whole phone since you've switched to the other one?
If you plug the old iPhone into your computer you can remove stuff via iTunes or remove stuff directly from the iPhone too. -
i am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed. -
Bought a malfunctioning MBP from the US. Can I have it replaced in the UK?
Hello people!!
I got an MBP from the US in late March. I switched it on 10 days ago and faced the horrible infamous "strange stripes on display" issue (link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1423301&tstart=0 )
The MBP is now in the UK. Am I eligible for a replacement? Did anyone have such an experience?MBP was bought in late March (3/24/08) in New York.
I got the laptop in Greece and switched it on on April's 30th (4/30/08). Stripes appeared after an hour I had it switched on.
I contacted Apple UK a couple of times (5/2&3/08). They said I was eligible for a replacement.
I shipped my MBP insured to the UK (170GBP) via DHL (5/7/08).
I got the MacBook Pro to the UK's #1 Applestore today (5/10/08). They said that the reps on the phone were wrong considering the replacement. They decided to have the display replaced.
Geniuses in Regent St - London explained explicitly that even if I had returned the MacBook Pro within the 14 days period, they wouldn't have replaced it. Which is the best way to defeat that? Who should I contact? Steve himself? I'll try to contact customer relations on Monday though. If I were in the States, everything would be fine by now.
Which is best? Living with a refurbished (erm sorry I mean a repaired) laptop that is 100% likely to still have the problem or having a brand new but rather defective laptop?
PS: There is NO Apple Greece. There are only authorized resellers in Greece aka really bad reviews for the companies all over the internet. See http://www.wewantapplegreece.com

I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?
i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?
rebel1568,
All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC. You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop. You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines. You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
Of course, you could run your Windows on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells. -
Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here. -
I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

i have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it. what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing my contact lists and purchased apps?
okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed. Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

Original OSX 10.5.6 and app dvd's (that came w/MBP) lost,and have recv'd replacement dvd from Apple. Once hard drive is erased and new OS w/dvd instl'd, how do I insure all applications bundle - that came with MBP - will reinstall?
Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful. -
Recently I have switched out computers and had copied/ transferred my I ITunes library to the new computer and encountered problem. Many of the songs in the library were purchased from my old email address of that I no longer use nor did I remember the old password in order to authorize playing from the new computer. Request advice/assistance to where I am able to play songs acquired through lost password?
This is a user to user tech support forum. Posting questions and getting responses here is the extent of the support.
If you want phone support, call Apple and pay for it.
Posting your phone number of a public forum is not smart, I have asked the moderators to remove it. -
I have switched from using a PC to an iMac and want to know how to register Lightroom 5.7 for new Mac?
Are you on CC or standalone perpetual licence?
If the former I believe you merely download LR from the CC site onto your iMac and log in and off you go.
If the latter, download LR onto your Mac from the perpetual licence site (not the CC version), install it and use the same licence number as with your PC. -
Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .
first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example, occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file, -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras. -
My MacBook Pro recognizes which of my three printers is plugged in (USB), but can it automatically use that printer or do I have to select that printer from the list each time I switch between printers?

I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G. I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.
Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-youWelcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings. -
