Iphone and Windows XP Pro

Hi and new to the forum. After upgrading to os 4.2 on Iphone 4, when I sync to the computer it "finds new hardware Iphone" and "finds new Digital Camera" and then the add wizard pops up and nothing is working from there and it doesn't install. There was a fix on the Apple site which hasn't worked for me to follow through the add and upgrade usb driver for apple.

You dont have a webcam on the computer... Well I'd still check Add/remove Programs for any Webcam software.
Alternatively it could be security software Norton/Kaspersky/NOD32/ ect...
Something you can try is using MSconfig on the computer
to use Msconfig on windows you would
Click Start>Run> in the box type Msconfig - click run or ok..
When the system configuration utility appears you choose selective Start up - Click the startup - click Disable all.
After disabling All items it will uncheck every item in the list. You will want to go through the list and Re-check anythign apple or iTunes/Quicktime related.
Once you have done that click the Services tab - Click Hide All microsoft services -then click disable all.
After you have done that same thing here look for anything Apple, Quicktime, Bonjour, iTunes, iPod related and recheck them - once you have done so click ok - the computer will prompt for a reboot - Restart the computer and test.

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?

iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

Discrepancy between birthday entries on my iPhone and my MacBook Pro Calendar

How do I correct the discrepancy between birthday entries on my iPhone and my Macbook Pro Calendar? Say I entered June 11 on my iPhone and it will appear in my Calendar as June 12-- one day late! I use iCloud to sync Calendar and Contacts in my Apple devices.

Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

How do I deinstall parallels desktop 6 and Windows 7 pro?

How do I deinstall parallels desktop 6 and windows 7 pro so as to ensure that all partitioning and space used for those programs is reinstated?

You can as Kenneth said just drag the virtual machine file to the trash. You should however run the Parallels Uninstaller, present on the Parallels installation disk or in the installer disk image, to completely remove all the Parallels components. Just dragging the Parallals app to the trash may leave components installed and possibly running.

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

Backing up iPad and iPhone to Windows 7 Pro Computer

I am using a HP 8200 Elite computer with Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit. My problem is backing up my 2 iPads Sys 8.1.3 and 2 iPhones Sys 8.1.3 & 7.1..2. I find that iTunes was made to play music and they made the backup feature very uncomfortable, not at all mac like. It is my opinion that after owning several Apple products from the Apple Lisa and Floppy Disk Mac's SE's SE30's and Mac II's that Apple in General is forgetting that they are the user friendly originator and this is especially true with iTunes. I like to keep all of my data on my Windows computer as well as in the cloud. Especially pictures. That way I can transfer them between devices used by my wife and I. I do not play music on any of the devices. I have had more failures with iTunes than any other program I have ever owned. Claris Works and FileMaker Pro still work Great on my 32 Bit BioStar Windows 7 Pro Computer. My Problem is only with iTunes which was apparently built to play music and very undependable and not user friendly for backups. I can not speak for iTunes ability to play music.

So what exactly is wrong with its ability to backup?

Iphone and Windows Vista problem

Okay, so I have windows vista and the iphone seems to be having a hard time with that.
When I plug my Iphone into my computer it recognizes the apple device and asks if I want to import picture. In itunes it shows the button that the Iphone is plugged in and synced, however, when I press that button nothing happens. I can't add any photos to it because everytime I try there is some kind of error. What can I do?

Same exact problem!
Upon returning home after picking up the long awaited iPhone 2, I discovered that my iTunes and/or Windows Vista would not detect the iPhone, and I’ve been searching the Internet for a solution since (going on day two now). Apparently, Vista and the latest iTunes have had this problem quite a lot.
It’s really a shame, as I think Apple is missing a singular opportunity to use the iPhone as a transition drug to more Apple products. I for one have been looking for a reason to dump my Dell and pick up a MacBook Pro, and the iPhone seemed to be it.
However, if I get caught in the middle of a ******* match between Apple and Microsoft, well, they both lose.
When you spend this kind of money, it is imperative that the thing works out-of-the-box. I will never purchase a Dell again for just this reason. Now, if I purchase a Lada, well, I'm expecting to put in some hours and blood to get the thing air born, but an Apple product? No way.
Please help me become an Apple customer.

Iphone and windows media player

I just got the new iphone and would like to load songs from my pc which is windows xp pro. I have windows media player 11. The player does not recognize the device when hooked up. Hope there is an easy solution.

Hi Dean and welcome to Discussions,
to use you iPhone with a Windows PC you have to use iTunes for Windows http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and also get the iPhone Configuration Utility from there.
The Windows Media Player is not supported with the iPhone (see requirements here http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html )

Is there a work around to use two Apple IDs across and iPhone and a MB Pro?

iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro Retina late 2013. iOS 8.1 and Yosemite.
It's a company iPhone and a personal MBP. Phone has an Apple ID associated with company credit card and MBP personal Apple ID with personal credit card.
There is a cross platform issue as you cannot use two Apple IDs in Facetime and Messages. Therefore my iPhone and MBP do not interoperate correctly, for example, a text message in messages on the iPhone will not appear in Messages on the MBP. Similar situation for FaceTime. When you try to enter the second email associated with the second Apple ID on either platform you get "cannot verify because email is already in use".
Any work arounds?
This is something Apple should have really anticipated as iPhones become more widespread in corporate use.

Thank you for your continued interest and research on my behalf on this situation. I was on the phone with Apple support (at no charge) for over an hour yesterday. Becasue I have what they cal a "vintage computer"(7 1/2 years old), there are some additional issues. We thought it was solved at teh end of the phone call but aparently it was not. I am going to call them now and see what else can be done. I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.

How To Use The Same Library - MacBook Pro's And Windows XP Pro?

Background: I have a fully configured MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3. Also, I run Windows XP Pro SP3 using Parallels Desktop. My primary iTunes Library and all content is stored on an external hard disk and the iTunes is "pointed" to that location by setting the iTunes' Preferences' Advanced Settings to the full path where the Library is located. Everything I have inside iTunes works perfect - the size if the Library is over 225GB!
BUT, when I install and use iTunes on my Windows XP Pro operating system (under Parallels), the contents of the Library SEEMS to work okay (while I'm in Windows) but the Windows' iTunes Library location in Preferences' Advance Tab is NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS IS THE MAC's LIBRARY LOCATION! It is not at the same location as my main/primary iTunes Library is "pointed to".
The problem occurs when I close Windows and return to the Mac OS X and then try to use my primary iTunes. All of the contents (and any content) within iTunes no longer work! When I attempt to play ANY song, movie, TV show, music video, audiobook, etc., a message pops up saying in effect "Location of 'x' can't be found, do you want to locate it?" I can then click 'yes' and navigate to the Library file that contains the song's file and it will then play fine, as it should. BUT, ONLY THAT SINGLE SONG WILL WORK - THE REMAINING 225GB STILL DON'T WORK!!!
So, I am forced to go into iTunes' Preferences' Advanced tab and click on "Change Location" then navigate to the proper library file (NOTE, THE LOCATION HAD BEEN CHANGED TO THE LOCATION FOR THE WINDOWS' LIBRARY LOCATION!!!)! Doing this corrects the primary iTunes functionality, but only after being forced to deleting the "iTunes Media Folder", quit iTunes, restart iTunes and Consolidate the Library - a whole bunch of steps and time to get back to "normal"!!!!!
Again, this all happens by going into Windows, opening its iTunes, then THAT triggers the entire scenario I've described above - EVERY TIME!
Thus, I avoid iTunes when I go into Windows, but I should NOT have to avoid using iTunes inside Windows! I hope I have described the problem/issues well enough that someone of you experts can provide a practical solution for me.
A potential remedy I've thought of is: Go into Windows' iTunes then go into its Preferences' Advance tab and change ITS location to be the exact same location as the primary Mac OS X's, click OK, then immediately close that iTunes.
          DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT WILL WORK - I.e., USING THE EXACT SAME LIBRARY LOCATION FOR BOTH iTUNES?????
          IF THIS WOULD WORK, WHAT ELSE MUST I DO TO EITHER iTUNES OR TO BOTH iTUNES TO USE BOTH iTUNES
          USING THE SAME LIBRARY???
Thank you for any suggested solutions - VERY MUCH!

Note that sharing a folder between different OS that use different file paths is not recommended as some files can have an absolute path or other OS specific data.
You can click the Choose Folder button if you want to create or use a folder in a different location.<br />
Make sure to select an empty folder (you need to create this folder in advance) and not a folder that already has files as Firefox will use the specified location in this case.
