Iphone migration to new mac
I purchased a new late 2013 13" MacBook Pro with Retina. I am trying to get the iPhoto Library from my old 2010 MacBook Pro into the new one.
I go into the new one's iPhoto and go to File, Import Library. I see the file on the old MacBook but it is faded out and can not be clicked?
What am I doing wrong?
You should use Migration Assistant.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?
If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes.

How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini
Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini. I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone. Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini. How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?
The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one. -
Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!
What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

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.

bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?
You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. -

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine -
Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.
Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5
The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download an installer from here:

After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.
This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

Now I'm really upset..
I recently bought a new MBP, and upone connecting my iphone Itunes comes up saying "there are app on your iphone which are not present here blablabla, do you you want to transfer these app to itunes library? If you don't transfer they will be deleted from your iphone"
Guess what, you choose "yes, transfer", and STILL it deletes apps from my iphone, which I REGULARLY downloaded from the Apple store!! (please assume some bad language here).
Note that:
1)I use same account on both Itunes (old & new mac)and authorized new one for purchasing from Apple Store.
2) I don't use the old mac that much now, but still I cannot understand WHY I can't sync my iphone with both computers.
3) The f.. itunes deleted 47 apps out of 50, saying that I'm not authorized to play them (play them?) on the new mac. Why? WHY??
I could understand if I want to sync different iphones installing apps from one computer, but since nobody (supposely) plays iphone apps on itunes, why I cannot sync them on different computers??
AND, ABOVE ALL, WHY IT DELETES THEM FROM MY IPHONE WITHOUT EVEN ASKING??????????

You should have read the "blablabla" part of the warning message. To transfer apps on your iPhone to your new Mac, right-click your device on the iTunes sidebar and click "Transfer Purchases" before your first sync. Be sure to disable automatic syncing first.
This doesn't work for me. I read the "blablabla" part and it says: "if you choose not to transfer, those apps will be deleted".
What it DOES NOT say, is that if that mac is not the one authorized for syncing, those apps will be deleted anyway, as a matter of fact it does, and without even asking or telling anything. This is a totally unacceptable and non legal behaviour of itunes.
And still I have the problem I can't deauthorize the other mac. <Edited by Host>

Is it a new drive or do you already have data on it ? If it is a new one, you might just want to format it with the Disk Utility else try to check the partition with the disk utility, your partition could be damaged.

I have just synced my work iphone to my new mac and have lost photos, work email etc I am being asked for a password for mu iphone backup, however cannot remember this and cannot seem to get a hint - can anyone help please. I had not previously synced this phone with another computer
Hi Bob
Thanks for the input. Interesting that it ran on my computer for a
while (about 2 days) before it first started bleating. I suppose if I
had to upgrade, it would be to the Mac version. Everything else I
have tried on Parallels works, even Steinberg's Wavelab, which I
thought would be an impossibility.
I shall persevere. I am just appalled at the level of support that
Adobe provides, plus the fact that their website just plain doesn't
work.

How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the original data
How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the app data?
You must first sync the iPhone with the old Mac as you normally do, then move the entire iTunes Library from the old Mac to the new one.
An iPhone can only be synced with one computer at a time. When you first sync the iPhone with the new Mac, you will "erase and sync". This will erase the entire phone first, then sync it with the content you moved from the old Mac.
This explains the procedure: iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another -
