Import Iphone data

Hello, I originally started my iphone on my imac. Now I have a MacBook Pro. How/Can I import all the data from my iphone into my laptop without having to reenter everything by hand? Or do I have to copy all my data from the imac to the lap top via an external hard drive? Any help would be appreciated.

Not an answer to your first question, but you can hook up both macs with a firewire cable and boot the iMac in "Target Disk Mode"
+Target Disk Mode is activated by holding the T key on the keyboard immediately after powering on the computer. The Target Disk booted computer is then plugged into a host computer or other device via a FireWire cable. To shut it down, you simply eject the volume(s) from the host computer and then press the power button again.+
Then you iMac will look just like another mounted drive to your laptop. You can then copy files over just like from any other drive.

  • I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  Please help!

    I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.   I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto.  I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported.  I greatly appreciate some assistance!

    All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
    The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.

  • Why can't I import gps data from iPhone photos in aperture 3

    I have an iPhone 4 (it's already an old model!) and why can't i still not import GPS-data from photo's on my iPhone 4 in Aperture...
    Importing photos from the iphone just goes fine...

    Richie:
    But do you see the GPS of the iPhone data in Meta data section of the Inspector (set to a preset that shows GPS), as Frank Caggiano asked?
    If the images do import the EXIF data, then you should be able to lift and stamp the GPS coordinates. I do that freuently.
    Select on of your iPhone images and lift the sata
    In the lift&stamp HUD deselect everything but the GPS coordinates, like this.
    If no GPS-coordinates do appear in this setting, then your iPhone images do not have the EXIF info required, and you may need to check the iPhone settings.
    If you see the EXIF data, then you just need to select the DSLR images that were taken at the same location and you can stamp the EXIF data to the DSLR images.
    And after that you should be able to see their locations in the Places view.

  • Syncing iphone data into New Macbook Pro

    Hey guys,
    I read a few answers on the forum but I want clear confirmation if any of you could help. I lost data on my Macbook Pro as the hard drive crashed. I bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to sync the data of the iphone into the new computer.
    I need to transfer, mainly...SMSes, Contacts, Photos, and mail data (My mail is all IMAP though which is good right? perhaps transfer that information would be nice).
    Applications and the data on them if possible and music would be good.
    Isit safe and as easy as plug and sync? I also have a Fruux Account but the iphone data is more updated because while awaiting my new laptop, I was using my iphone as the temporary computer.
    Is there anything else I should do first? Sync Fruux first or vice versa and should I do anything else?
    Thank you!

    Good, glad you have a backup. So what you need to do is move those libraries from your PC to the new MBP and then import them into iTunes. Follow the instructions you will find here. I would recommend you move the files to an external HD.
    Prior to doing that I would also recommend you read over Switch 101 and Mac 101. Both of these links will provide you invaluable information for someone making the switch from a PC to a Mac.

  • How to import my data(Mail, iCal, iTune songs & apps, etc.) to MacBook Pro?

    I used firewire cable to migrate my data from old PBG4 to new MacBook Pro.
    But still wonder how I can bring or import
    - my old mails from Mail
    - iCal schedules
    - Address Book cotacts
    - iTunes songs & all apps for iPhone
    - some Safari/ Firefox bookmark
    Thanks much in advance for help!

    I understood the location where I could import from or export to. But I was (and am) quite confused to understand possible problems if the importing files are not compatible on two different computers such as G4 and intel-based mac.
    Now I'm done importing those data, but not quite sure I did check correct way if those files are compatible. Everything seems fine, though.

  • How to transfer iTunes Library/iPhone data from PC to Mac?

    Hi,
    I have just started using my Mac Mini. This is my first mac.
    I need to copy my iTunes Library from my PC to Mac.
    I searched for a solution and most of them advise to simply copy the iTunes folder to my Mac.
    The problem is I am not sure if this approach will preserve my album ratings/playlist/playcounts/album art.
    Most important, I wonder if this will transfer my iPhone data as well or not.
    My contacts and stuff on iPhone are crucial to me. I need to be able to plug in my iPhone to my Mac and not be worried about losing my previous data.
    Any suggestions?
    I am running leopard and am on wifi. I can transfer files over wifi.

    The Apple store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple Support and they will walk you through it.
    You can type "move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

    You can't. The iPhone does not store any data at all on the SIM.

  • Imported iphone videos crash windows explorer

    Hi, I have imported 10 short video clips from my iphone to my windows 8 laptop using the usb data cable. The transfer or import works fine however when I open the folder containing the clips and hover the mouse pointer over one of the video clip icons, windows explorer immediately closes. No error message, no warning, just immediate closure.
    It appears to be a problem relating to the imported iphone clips as non of my other video clips have this error, just the ones I've just imported.
    This occurs using various media players, WMP, VCL etc.
    Having read a few thread on help forums it would seem this is something linked to thumbnail viewing but I've not got a clue how to sort this.
    Thanks in advance

    TThis is a user to user support forum. You will only get a response here if someone else has experienced your problem, or knows a solution. Since your error involves Windows Explorer, have you tried a Microsoft support forum. You can also get an error report in Windows for the crash. Check with Microsoft.

  • Transferring iphone data to new computer

    My IBM thinkpad crashed and I had to reboot XP. I downloaded itunes but I can't see how to transfer my music, podcasts, e-mail settings, my outlook contacts and calendar back to the computer. Does anyone have a step by step way to do this? I don't want to erase the iphone data. thanks much, kate

    You don't maintain a backup?
    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - but this is for content purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store only. Any content - music or video acquired elsewhere that was transferred from iTunes to your iPhone will not be transferred.
    With your iPhone connected and available in the iTunes source list, at the menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The sync process for contact information, calendar events and bookmarks is bidirectional. Be sure to enter at least one contact in Outlook's address book and one calendar event in Outlook's calendar before syncing. Pay attention to any warning messages or prompts provided. If you don't understand or aren't sure about the prompt provided, cancel until you are sure.
    You must re-enter your email account setup information in Outlook. The sync process for email account setup information is not bidirectional.
    Maintaining a backup of your important data is very important regardless the platform but even more important with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware and spyware concerns and for a system wide crash as you experienced.

    Yes.
    Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
    Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

  • Trouble importing Iphone videos

    I just imported all the videos and pics from my Iphone.  The pics all  show up but, ALL the videos have a "box" but, it's blank  ?????
    Need to see what they are before I can make movie...

    Well,  A.T.    thanx....You  have  salvaged  my  self  esteem.

    The Premiere Elements learning curve is a serious matter. Nothing to be taken lightly or taken for granted. Every question is important, small or large. Never hesitate to ask a question. Every answer is always obvious once you have been there and done that. I often reflect on "the measure of a smart person is not what he/she knows but rather what he/she knows that they do not know". All that said, let us move forward zealously to get you moving forward with your project with some fine tuned communication.
    I have gone back and reread your whole thread. I think the light bulb may have lit here and that I bypassed the following.
    When  I  open  the  Organize  and  view  videos  section  that  is  supposed  to  show  ALL  my  imports.
    All  that  are  fully  showing  are  the  pictures...  ALL  The  Videos  are  located  in  a  "BLANK"  box  on  that  same  screen.
    Again,   If  I  select  the  "make  movies"  option   the  videos  are  able  to  be  dragged  down  to  the  timeline,  where  they  fully  appear. However,  I  cannot  view  them  in  the  selection  area
    On my re-read of your thread, it appears that your blank box is not in Project Assets in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12 Editor. It is in the Elements Organizer 12 which is part of Premiere Elements 12. Is that correct? If it is,
    a. if you double click the blank thumbnail in that Elements Organizer 12, can you play back the video file there?
    And, what you are saying is that when you open this Elements Organizer 12 blank box in Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, you see the video and hear the audio just fine. Is that what is going on?
    Video thumbnail problem in the Elements Organizer is a frequent report. That is why details, such as the file extension of the file involved, are so important along with the other properties of the file.
    One way around this is to use Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Files and Folders (from computer hard drive) to get your file into Project Assets from where you drag it to the Timeline. Does that work for you?
    Before I go on and on, let us see if we are in sync on this.
    Your help on this is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

    I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

    Hello Salemr,
    When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

  • Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

    Hi,
    SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
    What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
    I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

    Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
    Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
    I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
    A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

  • SQL modeler can not import from data dictionary

    It was very frustruted to see that the SQL Modeler hang in import from data dictionary of a database as part of revise engineering. I have to question myself if sql modeler is a serious tool and should I give up.

    I am not sure if Data Modeller is still in Beta./Production. First couple off initial versions of a new product are normally buggy.
    Regards
    Alternatively, If this product is still in Beta, then you can contact the development team or report the issue so that they can take care of this issue in next beta release.

  • Import XML data to textfields in a PDF file

    Can I use LiveCycle Designer 8.2 to auto populate textfields in a PDF-file with data from a XML-file when the user opens the PDF-file? If so, how will I do it? Is there any guide?
    It works fine in the Livecycle Designer preview but when I open the PDF-file all textfields are empty. It also works fine if I import data from a OLEDB-connection.
    Regards
    Mikael Forssell

    I'm looking for a solution for the same thing. I have a pdf form with fields bound to an xml file, but Acrobat will only import the data manually (Forms / Manage Form Data / Import Data) and Reader doesn't work at all.
    Tech Support says that when in Livecycle, you're working in an xml environment, so the 'Preview PDF' works. Acrobat and Reader aren't xml environments, so they won't display the data.
    What we need is a javascript programmer who can figure this out. Possibly using the remerge function. Anyone???
    Don.
