Iphone and migrating between laptops

ive just bought a 2.5 / 17" macbook pro. My iphone currently syncs to my old macbook and an external drive for music. Can i simply hook up to the new laptop and continue use or will i end up with a wiped iphone! any pointers greatly appreciated!
ps can i move between laptops if needed?

One thing that might work.
If the media on the iphone was purchased from the itunes store, this like might help.

If you want to transfer your complete itunes library and still have access to the older computer, this link might help.

I had a iPod befor it was on my moms laptop and know I got a iPhone and my own laptop how do I get my iTunes account on my laptop so I can hook my phone to my laptop on the same account as my iPod

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You first need to sign into the account in iTunes on your laptop, then you need to transfer the content from your moms laptop and import it into iTunes on yours. You can do this in a number of ways, either over a network, with an external drive, or even a USB stick.
If you go to iTunes preferences > advanced on your moms laptop, it will tell you where the original files can be found.

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

Printer will print wirelessly from my iphone and not my laptop!

Specs:
Printer - Photosmart D110a
Operating System - Windows 7 64 Bit
laptop - toshiba if that's relavent
So when I got my printer, I'd like to say around two years ago, it was working fine. I don't recall when or why it stopped printing wirelessly, but at the time I was too caught up in my school work and extracurriculars to have time to try to fix it. There is no error message really. I have tried reconnecting it to my router and the connection is totally fine! The other day my mom printed off something from her iphone and that really ground my gears because I just can't figure out what's wrong with my printer!
The solution center just says that my printer is disconnected until I plug it in with a usb I have.
I think wireless printing is really cool and I paid for a wireless printer so I might as well fix it. Help is appreciated Thanks!

What router?
Download and run this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03286146&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en

Portal Mutiple Subscribers and Migration between instances

Hi,
We are in the process of developing an Oracle Portal to run discoverer queries on an apps db. We have two different types of users who can query via the portal. Both set of users will query the same database. But different sets of data. What is the best method of doing this? Is there a tool or an easy method of migrating portal pages from Development Portals to other environments? (Like QA and then to prod)
Has Anyone done this before?
Thanks in advance

My iPhone and iMac can't connect to my 3G wifi via my MacPro

Currently I have an iMac (on IOS 10.6.8 - haven 't upgraded it to new OSX yet); an iPhone 5, a Macbook Pro 13" (which belongs to work) and a new Macbook Pro 15" which I bought. To connect to the web, I use a 3G stick. Usually I plug that into the iMac and then share the connection to all my devices, but this works only for my iPhone and the work laptop. The new macbook Pro cannot connnect - it simply says "invalid password" which I know for a fact is incorrect - I've checked and reset the password at least 5 times. A friend said it could be due to the old IOS on the iMac and that I should purchase & download Mountain Lion and then try again. Though I'm not suite sure how to do this as I have limited data and I'd like to try see if there isn't another solution first.
Today I tried sharing the 3G stick wirelessly from the new Macbook - it works only for the 13" Macbook Pro but now it doesn't seem to work on my iPhone though I'm almost 90% sure that it used to. What's going on? I'm so confused. I feel like I'm stuck in Mac inception... Someone please, help!

If no change after any of the previous troubleshooting steps included with this link, focus on third-party software conflicts.

IPhone and Nano syncing...

I currently have my iPhone synced to my laptop, and my nano synced to another laptop.
I am now wishing to get rid of the iphone and the old laptop, and wondering if I will be able to easily sync my nano to my new laptop with little bother?
If I remember correctly, I can put the music on my nano onto the current laptop or vice versa - is this correct?
When I synced my iPhone with this laptop, I'm sure I saw something about it being my 4th authorised computer - will that have implications for my nano or the person why buys my iPhone?
Many thanks in advance for any helpful answers!

Hello Lou1985,
If I remember correctly, I can put the music on my nano onto the current laptop or vice versa - is this correct?
Yes, you can copy the music from your iPod to your computer
When I synced my iPhone with this laptop, I'm sure I saw something about it being my 4th authorized computer - will that have implications for my nano or the person why buys my iPhone?
No. This is referring to the number of computers you have authorized to play your iTunes content. The limit is 5. All you will have to do with the Nano is copy the music currently on it to your computer and then restore it, so you can sync all the old back to it plus any new content.
And as long as you restore the iPhone, whoever purchases it from you should have no problems.
Hope this helps.

How can I sync calendars between my mac, iphone and android phone

I use an iPhone as my primary phone, but do travel alot and need to have a secondary phone with a local SIM card when I travel. For this reason, I am considering buying an android phone. One of my major concerns though, is how would I be able to (if possible at all) sync calendars and contacts between all the devices. Today with iCloud I can get the iCloud syncing between my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. When I introduce an android device, I am going to have to bring in Google calendars as well, so how do I get my iCal calendars to automatically sync to google calendars without having to creat duplicate calendars or without having to basically migrate to using only google calendars? Same goes for the contacts?

On your Mac and iPad, turn off iMessage.

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

schmjorgen wrote:
but can i then only ever use both the iphone and itouch with that particular mac?
you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.

Is there a way to exchange files between an iPhone and a mac?

Hi there,
I know the iPhone does not support bluetooth (legally), but is there a way I can share files between the phone and a macbook NOT connected to the internet?
What I need to do is the following: I use the phone for work (bad choice, I know...) and need to be able to access e-mail and send files out. I am going to be away for a couple of weeks (I am based in the UK and going to Italy) and was thinking to use the phone for e-mailing (megabucks!!!) and the macbook to do some work that will need to be subsequently e-mailed, but as the iPhone does not support (legally at least) bluetooth, is there a way to load files onto the phone? I mean, it doesn't sound like rocket science.
I have to say, I am overall very disappointed with the iPhone as a tool to work with. Great for games, etc., but not for work. I am really tempted to toss it in the trash (or at least return it where I got it from).
I hope you can give me some good news here...
Besides as a general observation, I have been spending HOURS scouring the internet trying to find solutions to some basic issues I have with the iPhone... A piece of kit that is as expensive as all that should not be so difficult to use especially if all I am trying to get what would be considered a common feature in all bog standard phones, but that's another story... At least I have the digital compass and I can check stocks and shares to make me feel better...
Thanks

I guess I'm confused then. DocsToGo and AirShare Pro both allow you to set up an adhoc network (direct wifi-based connection between the laptop and your iPhone, no wifi router/cell data connection required). You can then pass the documents back and forth between the two devices. I prefer DocsToGo, because it also allows you to edit/sync the docs back and forth. Is this not what you want to do? You can also email the document from within DocsToGo on the iPhone if desired.
If you want to upload/download using a service like DropBox (which will also require a data connection, either WiFi or cell-based) DocsToGo can access that cloud-based service.
Note that I'm NOT affiliated with DocsToGo, but I did read the instructions to find out all the stuff it can do

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
Which particular issue are you referring to?
Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.
