I wanted to syc my iPhone to my newly bought macbook. How do I do that?

I got my new macbook recently. Now I wanted to syc my phone to the i tunes on my new macbook. When I try to do that, it warns me of losing all data. Is there any way I could sync my phone to the new macbook.

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Okay, my gateway laptop crashed about 2 months ago and Im saving up for a new Mac. I want to use my iPhone 4 on the Mac, but how do I do that with out wiping my phoen clean or without my old laptop too. And I am not tech savvy so I need step by step.

So basically I'm a girl who can't figure out technology. I want my music and apps to stay and I want to be able to update my phone because it still has it's original software.

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

there are a number of scenarios to do it.
The general idea was covered here:

Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

I want to purchase comic life 3 for a gift. How would I do that? Is it a direct download or can I buy it in a box?

You can't currently gift Mac App Store apps. The best that you could do is send an electronic gift certificate to cover the cost of the app. You can buy the gift certificate through the iTunes app.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

HT5824 I want to sync my iPad with my Apple Air. How do I do that ?

I want to sync my iPad with my Apple Air. How do I do that?

If you mean using iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad (requires iOS 5 or higher), sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account, then turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud. Then go to System Preferences>iCloud on your MacBook Air (requires OS X 10.7.5 or higher), sign in with the same ID and check the data you want to sync with iCloud.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My mom is the administrator of my Mac os x and we want to make her a standard account... How do I do that?

My mom is the administrator of my Mac os x and we want to make her a standard account... How do I do that?

If her account is the only admin one, the OS shouldn't allow it. If it did no-one would be able to install anything or authenticate when required.
If she just wants a standard account for normal day-to-day use, she needs to create a new admin account, then downgrade the original one to Standard.
Of course, if you're just trying to bypass parental controls… well you need her permission to do it!
