iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?
When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.
See this document - the section on "Importing Photos to your Computer": iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes

Hello! Thanks in advance for your help!!
I successfully launched/started my new iPhone 5s about 3 weeks ago on my MacBookPro. Then recently I tried to synch it/back it up for the first time onto my computer since the 5s was activated.
Unfortunately, it only asks me if I would like to back it up again from my old 4s backup (which I don’t want to do, as I now have a lot of new info on the 5s) - or the second option available is to restore it as a new phone.
How do I get this Mac and/or iTunes to register this 5s phone has already been connected and launched via this computer, and to just SYNCH it or back it up?
…OR - if I did restore it as a new phone, wouldn’t I lose everything and have to start again?
Currently on OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, iTunes 11.1.5, iPhone 5s iOS 7.1
All tips gratefully received - can not find solutions on internet
xxI think you are confusing Backup and Restore. An iPhone Backup takes the information on your phone and puts it on your computer as a database that can be later restored to the phone. Only app and operating system data are backed up to the database. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 for a list of everything included in a backup. Music and apps are NOT included in the backup because that would be duplication. iTunes music and apps are always available to restore to your iPhone from your iTunes library on your computer or from Apple's servers. Music from other sources (CDs and MP3s from other sites) have to be on your computer, because that is the only way to transfer them to your iPhone.
Restore takes the backup that is on your computer and copies it to the iPhone, overwriting everything on the iPhone.
Photos are a special case. The iPhone includes a digital camera. It works the same way as any other digital camera; you connect the phone to your computer and it will appear as a camera device, separately from iTunes. You can use iPhoto or any other photo app to copy the images off the iPhone's Camera Roll to your computer for safekeeping and editing. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 for examples.

I wish to synch my iPhone 5s in it's current state (with all 3 weeks additional info), from the phone, over into the Mac. (Hope that makes sense). How can I get this option made available to me?
You do not want to "synch" your 5S to your Mac. You want to BACK UP your 5S to your Mac. Connect the iPhone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click the Backup button.
AFTER this completes you can then sync your music and other iTunes content from your computer to your Mac. As you have now have a current backup (rather than a 3 week old backup) your content will be safe.
You should also back up to iCloud. This is an automatic process once set up; the phone will be backed up to iCloud whenever it is connected to power and has a WiFi connection. To enable this go (on the phone) to Settings/iCloud. Click on Storage & Backup and enable iCloud backup. Once set up it will happen automagically without your having to think about it.

These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store. In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly. -

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?
Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.
Kappy has provided a good article on running Windows on a Mac and the various options. Here is the link:

My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.
You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

Hi All,
Regarding iPhone 5, at the latest model, if I bought an unlocked one from UK Apple Store, iPhone 5 GSM A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals or not. ??
Thanks for your answering.The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G). -
New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.
DanSo I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -

photo's not phones sorry
OK, so what you need to do is when you hook up your phone to the Mac, and open iTunes, click on the iPhone that shows under Devices in iTunes (left-hand column). Then you will see a Summary page displayed with the iPhone information.
You will also see several "tabs" with various types of sync options - Music, Photos, Books, etc.
Click on the Photos tab and you will see a box that says Sync Photos. If you uncheck this, then nothing will sync back to the phone. You can also check it, but then selectively pick which photo albums or events you want to sync.
Also, if you have iCloud and photo stream turned on, you will continue to see any photos in your photo stream, regardless of whether you have sync'd them to your Mac or not.
Hope this helps, but if you have additional questions, don't hesitate to ask! Welcome to the Apple world!!!
Cheers,

Hi,
Can i sync my database both on my Macbook Pro and my Macbook? is it possible to work on both computers and share the same iCloud, iPhone, iPad etc?
thanks@Zizooka : Your question is not very clear ... please re-phrase ... and iCloud is the concept where you share your data through ONLY one account on ALL your devices ...

Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.
That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

Please help. I can boot up my macbook pro and log in but after that all i see is the wallpaper, toolbar and the dock. In the dock it has 2 ? where the doc and download folders should be. If I open up a new finder window it doesnt show anything in there no hard drive or anything. If anyone konws how to help let me know please and thank you.
Agree with baltwo, though even if you have saved the install app I wouldn't use it unless its been used to install a known good copy of the OS already.
In your case, that probably means start fresh:
Restart the computer, holding down 'command' and 'r'. When the recovery disk window shows, choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X'.
