Iphone features with mac?

My contract is ending soon, and I just got a MBP so i was wondering what features i would lose with NOT using my MBP with an iphone.
so will things all sync like calendar, contacts, photos, etc from an android phone?
and will i be able to text throught bluetooth on andrioid phones?
I don't do much with my phone, i dont customize it or go crazy with it. I just use it to browse web, call/text, gps, yelp, photos, etc.
speaking of maps...has the maps on iphone 5 been updated? how good is it compared to google maps?

You MBP will sync Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmars and other stuff with your iPhone through iCloud.
Yes you can text to other iOS devices and Macs from iPhone and Mac.
Yes you call with FaceTime to other iOS devices and Macs from iPhone and Mac.
Bluetooth has nothing to do with all these.
All these works via Wi-Fi or Cellular Network(3G or 4G).

Also, can I sync calendars from my iPhone 4 with my mac? If so, how?

Hi hpd0203,
There are a number of different ways of syncing calendars between your Apple devices. One of the easiest ways is to use iCloud. See this article for an introduction -

IPhone Syncing with .MAC

I was surprised that this was not available. The iPhone should be able to wirelessly sync contact and calendars with .MAC.

Anyone know if you can sync iPhone with multiple
Macs?
I use a Mac in the office as well as at home. I
occasionally work from home and would like to be able
to keep the iPhone and all versions of Address Book
and iCal current, regardless of from where I'm
working.
I've asked this question in some other threads but
noone seems to know.
Thanks.
yes you can

Can't pair iPhone 5 with Mac mini or iPad

When I try to pair my iPhone 5 with my Mac mini (current model), I'm able to go through all the steps and the Mac shows the iPhone is connected for about 1-2 secs and then drops the connection. I'm trying to pair them so I can use the TokenLock app to automatically lock my Mac when I walk away from it.
I have the exact same issue when trying to tether my iPad to my iPhone via bluetooth to connect my iPad to the internet. A connection is established for only a couple seconds. I'm able to tether via wi-fi though.
What am I doing wrong?

You can't connect two apple devices via bluetooth not supported. Here are the supported profiles http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647

Where do you store your contacts?
On your computer?
In iCloud?
Some other cloud service?

Control F Windows- similar feature with Mac?

Hello,
When I wanted to find any word on a Word doc or browser, with Windows I would use Control F. Is there a similar feature with the Mac?
Loving the new Mac Book Pro!
Thank you!

You will find that many Windows keyboard shortcuts are copies of the older Mac ones, but substituted the control for our command and Alt for our Option which is now sometimes referred to as Alt as well.
There are exceptions however, usually the Mac ones are more mnemonic such as cmd Q for Quit rather than the Alt F4 of Windows.
Also you will see a recent summary of the easy to remember Mac keyboards for accented non-English characters.
There are summaries of some but not all keyboard shortcuts either under the Help menu or in Help itself, or on Apple's website in Support.

Merging iPhone contacts with Mac Contacts

I typically create and modify contacts on my iPhone (iOS 6.1.3). However, I have some of the same or similar contacts in my Mac Contacts application (Yosemite). How can I merge the contacts from my iPhone onto my Mac, so the incomplete address cards on the laptop will have the info from the iPhone. The support material all seems to say that if I try syncing them, my iPhone's contacts will be replaced by the Mac contacts... I sync everything manually, and have always had contact syncing turned off.
I'm afraid to try syncing, and maybe lose the additional information I've added to people's cards on my iPhone.

I can't be 100% sure on that. However, what I do know is that it will be a backup of your most recent info. Therefore, any new apps, new contacts, emails, etc. since your last backup would get added. So if you have to restore and you select the backup date, you should get everything from that backup. I've relied on iPhone backups many times in the past and they've all worked just great. Will simply require some time if you have a lot of apps and info that need to be restored.

Iphone compatibility with mac OS

Hi I want to get an iphone but found out my imac with Tiger will not support iphone 4. Is it true that the iphone is useless without
an updated OS? Can't afford to replace both the phone and computer at once.
When I do get new computer was thinking about getting my first notebk. Any suggestion? Though am concerned about the screen size. Am use to my 17 in Imac. Want the mobility of the notebk What about the ipad? I use computer for email/ facebk. photos /movies web searching calender , Word and some Excel. I have a Apple TV; and an external hard drive (waiting to be hooked up as it will not work with Tiger either.) I have Verizon for my cell carrier and Verizon Fios on computer and TV.

Hello Anne ONeil,
the iPhone would not be useless but you will not be able to use
it to it's full potential. iDevices are made not as stand alone
products but as products to Sync with your computer so
that you can manage the content of your iDevices.
In order Sync an iDevice you need iTunes v10.x which
requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
Is your 17" iMac a PowerPC G5 or an intel CoreDuo or
Core2Duo. If it's the G5 the max Mac OS is Leopard. If intel
you might be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that you
can download iTunes 10 and Sync your iPhone.
New portable? MBP 13". Check with Apple Customer Support
to see if you can use your Apple TV as an external monitor.
iPad2 is an iDevice and to get the most you need to Sync
with iTunes. At this time MicroSOFT does not have an iPad
Mac Office App for the iPad.
External HD-not sure. As gdgmacguy stated check the hardware
and software requirements before you purchase.
That Verizon fios looked pretty good. I'm ATT.
Apple Support:
1-800-275-2273
Automated call but you can with enough patience speak to a software
specialist. Be patient and polite. Have your iMac serial number ready
for them (About this Mac)
Happy Computing,

Syncing my iphone calendar with mac computer calendar

I want to sync my iPhone3 calendar to my mac computer calendar, with all the info in my iPhone overriding the computer calendar. When I sync, typically the computer calendar will trumph all the info in my phone and I lose valuable info on my phone...any suggestions?

There is no such option.
The sync process for calendars/calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process, or should be. There is an option to replace calendars/calendar events on the iPhone with what is available in the supported calendar app on your computer, but not the other way around.

Syncing IPhone 4 with Mac OS X Tiger

I'm trying to sync my IPhone with my itunes 9.0.3. It won't. I'm trying to update my itunes, but the only update there is, is to itunes 10, which won't install on a Mac OS X 10.4.11, it needs 10.5 or higher, i.e. snow leopard.
Am I to believe the only way I can sync my iphone with my mac is to upgrade to snow leopard?
Cheers

Hi Nick: If you are using the MacBook Pro as listed in your signature, you can update from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6). And, unfortunately, 10.5 is the minimum requirement.

How do I sync my iPhone messages with Mac

Having trouble syncing messages from my iPhone to Macbook. Am I doing something wrong in settings?

For others.
Enable the Messages app on the phone.
The Number then registers with the iMessages Server (it will take a few moments to Verify).
Once that is done you can Set whether it is to send SMS if it can't do iMessages.
You can then Add the Apple ID which in turn links the tow and makes Pop ups appear on the Mac version.
You need to accept these and the iPhone Number is added to the Receive At list and a drop down appears for Start Conversation From.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on All devices".
Deletions and other actions have to be done on each device separately.

Can iphone sync with Mac and PC itunes for different data ?

I have a Mac at home where I keep my music and personal email and then a PC at work where I keep my 1000+ contacts and calendar in Outlook. Will I be able to set my MBP Itunes to sync .mac email and music/tv/podcasts/etc. only while at the same time set the itunes at work to sync Outlook contacts and calendar? This would give me the perfect information that I need on my iphone.
any help is appreciated, thanks

I have a similar problem in that I'm using a MacPro to sync iTunes with my iPod yet I have a MacBook Pro that I run Parallels/WinXP Pro to run Outlook and my CRM of choice, ACT.
CompanionLink (www.companionlink.com) has just announced an update that will allow PC users to sync ACT, Goldmine with the iPod through Outlook on the same PC. The synching works in both directions so that contact or calendar changes you make on the iPod will be updated on your PC CRM program.
I've been using Companionlink for years on PCs to sync to various Palm devices including my current phone, the Treo 700P (Palm). It works well and tech support is friendly and effective.
Since switching to Macs in January and run all of my PC apps on Parallels/WinXP, the CompanionLink software has worked very well in this environment.
As soon as iPhones are in stock near me, I plan on switching from Verizon to ATT just so that I can have an iPhone. I hate the Treo so bad that I'm willing to pay the $175 Verizon service termination fee to get the iPhone.
One thing that I will miss, although I don't use it much, is the ability to use my Treo via Bluetooth connection to my MacBook as a modem for broadband access while on the road. I've been told that you cannot do this with the iPhone.
Cheers.
