I want to upgrade to iphone5 AND switch syncing to newer Mac that can use iCloud. Can I do this?

I have owned an iPhone since the first, and it has always been synced to my old iMac. Now, I own newer machines (that can use iCloud), and I want to upgrade to an iPhone5 now. However, if I sync it to the old iMac, that machine in not iCloud capable.
How do I do this without loosing all the apps and contacts, etc?

you can sync your iphone 5 with the old imac to get the information then usw the icloud. all your inforamtion with be saved to icloud and then you can sign in to icloud on the new imac.

    Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges that are obviously using that laptop have popped up on my new laptop, does that mean all my pictures in the last 3 months have been loa
    ding onto that old work laptop as well as my new one??!!! if so how do i delete my pictures from the past 3 months off that old work macbook? HELP!!

    If they are photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll, then delete them from photo stream.  That will delete them from photo stream in iCloud and on any other devices/computers.  Of couse it won't delete them if they have already been moved out of the photo stream album download folder on the work computer.
    Then change your iCloud password so the old work computer no longer has access to your iCloud data or photo stream.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If the device has the same Apple ID signed onto the iTunes & App Store, then you can download any apps purchased under that Apple ID to that device.
    I thought you were asking about a game and game statistics being shared between two devices with two separate players. What I said about that is that if it is under the same ID, then the game is going to have the same statistics on both devices, and any updates to those would be reflected in both places. So, two different players wouldn't be able to have separeate statistics if they were playing under the same Apple ID.

  • I use FCP 7 Studio on an iMac with Snow Leopard.  If I upgrade to Lion so I can use iCloud, can I still use FCP 7?

    I use FCP 7 Studio on an iMac with Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  If I upgrade to Lion so I can use iCloud, can I still use FCP 7?

    Thanks X!  I use Office 2011 as this iMac is only a year old.  I don't have Rosetta (is it an add-on?) at least, I've never seen it... so... you're saying I could upgrade to Lion with no ill effect to my FCP7 Studio and all it's files and my saved projects?

  • I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    It is not necessary to delete your old wireless networks first, but doing so may eliminate confusion. If you wish to do that, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button, then select your old wireless networks and delete them with the "–" (minus) button. Make sure the "Remember networks this computer has joined" remains checked.
    OK then Apply.
    This prevents your Mac from searching for your previous network which will no longer exist.
    A new Express creates an open wireless network that you must select before you can configure it. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
    Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
    Edit: If you are really using OS X 10.5.1 as shown in your profile, the above screenshot is not applicable. Instead, select the network called "Apple network nnnnnn" and then launch AirPort Utility.

  • I have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules

    i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • I have snow leopard 10.6.3 and want to upgrade so I can use Icloud. What do I need to do?

    I have snow leopard 10.6.3 and want to upgrade so I can use Icloud. What do I need to do?

    Taken from Apple Website....
    OS X Lion system requirements
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to  upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
    In other words, FIRST UPDATE your system to 10.6.8.... 10.6.8 will install the MAC APP STORE on your computer.. SECOND.... Buy Lion from MAC APP STORE (you may need to  create an Apple Login and Password). THIRD... Launch the LION installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Made sure to install ONLY THE COMPONENTS, don't ERASE your system before install. This way you don't lose your data (pictures, music, documents, etc.)

  • I upgraded my laptop and switched my mail

    I upgraded my laptop and switched my mail to iCloud not knowing I was about to lose access to my mail on my desktop iMac (which will not upgrade to iCloud). Can I use an email client (i.e. Eudora) on the iMac and download mail from iCloud? Otherwise, I have to open Safari, sign in to iCloud, then mail, before obtaining my mail. I would like to click an email on my desktop and the be able to access email.

    Ok. . . . SUCCESS!
    After stressing out for a couple of hours I got up and walked away! I went back in a couple of hours, opened the instructions (that you first gave) and took my time following each step. Thanks for having a little patience with me. The result worked. . . . thanks a lot.

  • I purchased my MacBook Pro in late 2007, just before Leopard was released.  I want to upgrade my memory and need to know if DDR2-667 SoDimm PC2-5300 is the correct type.

    If you have to wonder which RAM is the correct type, you probably aren't buying from a store that will give you the right RAM.  Many stores specify model and vintage of Mac on their website to ensure you get the right RAM.  Check my FAQ*:
