IPhone and new Mac

I have recently got a new MacBook. Having plugged in my iPhone I have updated my contacts and iCal, but I can't seem to move any music across to it. Any ideas why this is and how I can fix it? Is it something to do with my iPhone being originally set-up on my old iBook?
Thanks in advance.

I have a back-up of my iTunes files from my old iBook, and have moved them onto my MacBook as detailed above (using the Add to Library option). I can play music fine through iTunes on my MacBook. When I connect my iPhone it loads up fine and I can sync calendars and contacts etc (that is how I moved my iCal and Address Book over to my MacBook). When it comes to putting music on my iPhone it won't let me drag and drop music as usual. The only way I can put music on is by making a playlist and syncing it to get it on my iPhone. Even when this is on my iPhone, all the music appears greyed out such that I can't rearrange it, delete it etc.
Really not sure what the problems is, but very frustrating. Can only think I've not moved my iTunes across correctly or my MacBook is not set as the main computer for my iPhone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • HT204053 how can i sync calendar and contacts between my iPhone and new Mac book pro?

    I use an iPad and iPhone to maintain my schedule and contacts. I just purchased a Macbook Pro...how do I sync info on my other devices with my Macbook?
    I have a current iCloud ID...
    Would the info from the calander on the iPad automatically "push" to the Macbook, if i have everything configured properly?
    Thanks

    Yes,
    you need to Sign Out of the wrong Apple ID - lower button in ICloud under system preferences.
    Otherwise you cannot change the current Apple ID
    Then you will be able to put a new apple ID and sign in.

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

    You will need to setup a new Apple ID for your sister.  You have to have an Apple ID and iDevice connected and using that account to get an iCloud account.

  • I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud

    I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud. Any Suggestion?

    perfect. ok do the following:
    settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
    Please confirm.

    Hello:
    You need to contact "epost."  The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

  • I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop.  Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer.  How I can fix this?

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

  • Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

    OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

    Yes that is what I observed.
    There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

  • When you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

    when you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

    Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
    I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.

    I have an iPhone and a Mac that have never been synced. Both contact lists are different. If I do sync will the two listings merge, or will one be synced over the other. Is there a way to backup both devices before thevsync so I don't lose any contact?

    You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
    Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

  • Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Not sure exactly what you are going for...
    You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
    BTW...  apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
    It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!
