I want to upgrade my iPhone on my macbook air

i want to upgrade my iphone on my macbook air, but my itunes acct wont download everything. help!

Do you want more space or do you want more speed?
If going SSD is out of the question because of the price, the I suggest you go with a Hybrid Drive.
The Seagate Momentus XT 750GB is a nice drive that is faster than your standard 7200RPM and might be large enough for your needs.
Invest about $200 and do the Seagate Momentus Drive and RAM upgrade.  That will give you a nice performance boost.
The RAM you need would be 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 204 PIN SODIMM - you'll need two them to get 8GB.
Good luck..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Apple doesn't allow you to upgrade the storage of a MacBook Air, but you can do it without any problem. However, you will void warranty and it's expensive. Read > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2012
    The other option is to buy an external disk

    You might want to ask you carrier that question.  I can tell you that when I gave my old iPhone 4 to my wife we were able to get my old sim card that was in the 4 reprogrammed with the wife's phone number.  The AT&T store didn't charge us to do this.

    okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
    Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

    You mean with the same iCloud account?
    If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

    I want to be able to update info in Numbers by either iPhone, iPad or MacBook Air.  Do I need to purchase Numbers separately for MacBook Air?

    Yes.  Numbers for the Mac is a different program than the app for the iPhone and iPad.  It can be purchased from the Mac App store.

  • Can i move all my songs, etc. from itunes on my pc to my macbook? I want to sync my iPhones to the macbook instead of the pc and not lose all my apps, songs, etc.

    i want to start syncing my iphone to my macbook air instead of my pc. I am afraid to lose all my apps and info in them if i do this. Can this be done and preserve all my data?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Notes doesn't sync from my iPhone to my MacBook Air, and shuts down.

    When I open up "Notes" on my MacBook Air, it freezes and shuts down unexpectedly. I want to sync all my notes from my iPhone to my MacBook Air like all other features using IOS devices. I figured I'd check on here first before calling Apple Care. I had a problem similar to this with iMovie, and I had to go to >GO> computer>Macintosh HD>Library>preference> and select something from the imovie.plist type file. I dragged and dropped that plist file to my desktop and it reopened as a fresh app. I then moved that plist file on my desktop to trash and opened up iMovie, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone help me with the "notes" feature, and to help keep it from not freezing and shutting down; that way I can sync everything from my iPhone to my MacBook Air.
    Thank you so much.

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Is this correct? (If it isn't, please amend it to prevent confusion.)
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred).

    The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
    If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.
