I want to place my contacts from Iphone to my mac, and i don't want to lose my contacts, wat is the best option?
Is it safe to sync my iphone with the mac, i want to place my contacts from my Iphone to the mac.
How can i do this?
Of course it is safe, it's what you are supposed to do. The only time you might have an issue is if you have already synced to a different computer. As long as there is at least one contact already on your Mac, when you first sync you will be given the option to merge the contacts.

How to sync contacts, music, and movies from iPhone to new mac and unsync from old PC?
Hi, I know this question has been asked a lot but for some reason I could not get a clear understanding of what everyone was talking about and my situation might be a tad different.
So I already had an iPhone that was synced to my dell PC. I just got a new macbook pro retina and now I'm trying to transfer my contacts, movies, and music to my mac from my iPhone. However I keep getting a message that says if I sync to this mac then all of my stuff will be deleted from my iPhone. (I am now aware that they mean only iTunes content, but those are still important to me). I still own my PC but there is no way I can connect my PC and Mac together. Is there a way possible that I could "unsync" my iPhone to my PC and sync it to the Mac without erasing the stuff from my iPhone? Are there other methods of syncing my iPhone to my new mac? My last question is that is it possible to transfer purchases from my mac to my iPhone even if it is or isn't synced to the PC or erased of content?
Hopefully this sounds coherent, and thank you all in advance for your help. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate your time.It is designed so syncing is one way only (with the exception of iTunes Store purchases) computer to phone. You need to transfer the library from the old computer to the new one so the phone is syncing back to the same library it used to or else it will request you erase the phone.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
You can use flash drive for copying, breaking it down into chunks if necessary but making sure they get re-assembled correctly again.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

i tried the command and option thing i tried the option thing and even there is only 2014 in the master folder when im going to the "show the pacage" in the iphoto library please help me.....i didnt delet it if anyone knows anything pleaseeee let me know!!!
Give this a go:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired. -
I have tried to upload photos through facebook or email them, but whenever I try to access the camera roll, it goes back to the main screen. I really have a couple photos I would like to try and retrieve. I don't want to wipe it yet and start new. Any suggestions?
Update: I ended up downloading Diskaid (free for 14 days) and all my photos where there. Put them all on my computer and then retored my phone as a new phone and all seems good. So far. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again! Thanks for everyone's input!

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete. -
Cannot sync ical from iphone to my mac pro
Hi All
I have tried all sorts and although I ticked the relevant boxes on itunes, I cannot transfer (sync) ical info from iphone to my mac.
I have no info on my mac i cal, everything else like contacts seem to sync no problem!
I have tried using isync instead of itunes as some folk recommended but without any success.
Any ideas??
Thanks for your help
HBefore syncing calendar events with an empty supported calendar app on your computer, you need to enter one calendar event in the supported calendar app on your computer - in this case in iCal on your Mac. Make this calendar event up if needed, which can be deleted later.
If there are any calendar events available on your iPhone, this should provide a merge prompt with this first sync for this data, which you want to select.

iSync can't be used to sync anything with an iPhone. iSync can be used to reset the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences. -
Voice Memos- How to move from iphone 3GS to Mac?
Okay. How do I move a voice memo from my iPhone 3GS to my Mac? All software and hardware is current. All I want to do is move voice memos from iPhone to my Mac. Memos are 30 minutes plus and cannot email from iphone. So I want to move to my Mac and email if I want. How to? thanks! rr
Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes. -
I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and can't upload from iCloud
I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and I'm got as far as 'restore from iCloud'. And it says iOS 6.1.3. Required. So i went back to freshly backed up iPhone 4 and checked that it had iOS 6.1.3 all ready. There's no updates on settings icon
Personally, when upgrading to a new device and wanting to download from a backup of the older device to set up the new device, I ALWAYS do the backup and restore from my computer's itunes. It's much more reliable than icloud.

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.
So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful. -

I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9. The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched. I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work. Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?
It shouldn't be this way. Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode? Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright. This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

So I synched and downloaded all my pics from my iphone to my mac, and now for whatever reason I cannot actually see them. I go into iphoto, itunes and cannot access them. I see them in itunes and yet do not have th option to view. Any ideas...?
You can't open iPod touch, iPad and iPhone apps on the Mac. They use different operating systems that need different applications, so it's not possible to use your iPhone apps.
Instead, you have to look for other applications in the Mac App Store or the Internet, because you can install applications from wherever you want
